VPN connection shows "no internet access"
When I try to access a VPN from my laptop, I get "no internet access" when I look at the connection but it let's me in, however, I cannot see all the folders in my share directory.
If you are using Microsoft PPTP VPN, it is normally not split tunneling by default and you won't have external internet access.
IPsec VPN is normally split tunnel
About your folders: Map the server\folder by IP address to see if you get access that way.

OK, will try that. Thanks
Can you check the permissions on the folder you see and on others you don't see?
ASKER
All the permissions on the folders are the same.
I deleted the vpn connection, deleted the mapping, rebooted, and re-did the vpn connection and still only seeing 1 directory.

If the same computer works locally connected (no VPN) there could be a firewall restriction (although mapping one folder will usually get all).l
Are the names of the folders longer than 12 characters or they contain spaces or some other special characters?
ASKER
This was partially the problem. But, it was also that the folders were working offline.
@foxhelp - Thanks and I was happy to help.
But try to remove "use the remote gatway" option.
