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

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


<div>
When you open up Windows Explorer and type in <b>\\IPaddress</b> of the server does it display all the available folders? &nbsp;You then want to go into the UserShares then your user folder. &nbsp;If you can get this far then you can map the folder by copying the path in the Windows Explorer address bar.<br />
<br />
I have no problem replicating your request on my test environment. &nbsp;It's not a Sonicwall or server issue.<br />
<br />
Also, the folder path for SBS2008 should be <b>\\serverIPaddress\UserShar<wbr />es\usernam<wbr />e</b> as in <b>\\192.168.1.101\UserShares<wbr />\JohnDoe</b> for example if the server address is 192.168.1.101 and JohnDoe is the username.

Using SonicWall VPN to map drives on a SBS 2008 server work fine, except for the users specific &quot;Home&quot; &nbsp;(private) Folder. I just receive a network path not found. I map the other &quot;public&quot; drives successfully by IP address\share name.<br />
<br />
Any Ideas? &nbsp;Thanks.

SonicWall TZ, Mapping Network Home Drive

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
