SonicWall TZ, Mapping Network Home Drive

Using SonicWall VPN to map drives on a SBS 2008 server work fine, except for the users specific "Home" (private) Folder. I just receive a network path not found. I map the other "public" drives successfully by IP address\share name.

Any Ideas? Thanks.

Are you mapping it manually or using group policy? If using GP, ensure that you use the server's IP address instead of server name in this window:

But I need to map the (existing) drive on the remote computer that is accessing the network via VPN.

When you open up Windows Explorer and type in \\IPaddress of the server does it display all the available folders? You then want to go into the UserShares then your user folder. If you can get this far then you can map the folder by copying the path in the Windows Explorer address bar.

I have no problem replicating your request on my test environment. It's not a Sonicwall or server issue.

Also, the folder path for SBS2008 should be \\serverIPaddress\UserShares\username as in \\192.168.1.101\UserShares\JohnDoe for example if the server address is 192.168.1.101 and JohnDoe is the username.
