Cant browse network after VPN connection

Hi

After a long day setting up RRas on 2003 server and finally logging in from home I am unable to browse for any shares on the server. When the tunnel is active I can ping ok. I have looked at a few posts and have set up Wins but this has not solved the problem.

Client PC is Windows XP Pro SP2

Any help welcome

Regards

TD

can you RDC to your server ?
Hi,

When we configure vpn connection then window default firewall on or enable so you can't browse network so disable the window default firewall and check it.

Hi Rob

Thanks for getting back to me Good to have you back on board.

Ok I have changed my subnet at home and followed your instructions.

When I open my computer and use \\192.168.0.1\sharename i can find and browse my share, same applies when I use FQDN\share first time it asks for username password but seems to remember it after that. No problems there.

If i use net use with the ip address\sharename i get the network cant be found error, I can map in my computer though by entering the network path so i think that is it

Hi Rob

well deserved points to you thanks again you are a star
Thanks daly29.
As for net use, try
\\192.168.123.123\sharesame  z:  password  /user:domain.local\username
just leave "user" as is it is not a variable.
