Connection success, but now what ???

[cyber↑↓]

Hello.

I installed 2 trial versions in my test-environment.
After configuring my firewall and NAT settings I finally got a successfull
connetion between server and the client.

The problem now is how do I share files, printers, browse network, etc ?
The client computer/laptop still have it's own network address (192.168.x.x), and my serverpark have the IP range 10.0.x.x.

Server enviorment:
Win2003 server (SP1) - DHCP leases: 10.0.0.10-10.0.0.250/255.255.255.0

Client enviorment: (different wireless network)
WinXP (SP1) - IP: 192.168.x.x/255.255.255.0

Shouldn't the VPN connection tunnel the IP address to my network address (10.0.0.x) ?

Please help.

Thanks.

Sounds like you've got everything working well. To access the network resources just treat them like you would on the LAN.

You should see the shares in network neighbourhood, you should be able to browse a remote machine from Start-->Run by typing \\(servername).

From the remote WinGate VPN server you should be able to browse the machines by expanding the VPN and double clicking the machines that are listed.

Thanks for you answer Matt.

I cannot connect through LAN (Start-Run-\\Servername\Share) and
I get a permission denied on accessing the shares through WinGates interface too.

So the problem lies on permission level I think.


Thanks again.

I like your quote; very true.

1. Do you have any securtiy suites that may be blocking access to the network?
2. Does the Win2k3 server have a domain?
3. Does the windows event viewer give you any exta info? (Windows) Start menu --> Run --> eventvwr
4. Can you ping any IP addresses?
5. How is the local participation set?
