Mapped Drives not visible?

[ccsoft]

HI,

Is it normal that you can't see any mapped network drives when connecting through the VPN?
A client has mapped drives to a Novell server.. as you can't access the novell directly he had hoped he would have access to the mapped drive on the WinGate VPN server. But we don't see them.

thanks

No, that's not normal. If you can browse a machine in a workgroup, you should be able to see its shares, if you can connect to it.

It is possible you can connect to a master browser (hence enumerate the network machines) yet not connect to specific individual machines, but I would expect that you would get a more specific error in such cases (like machine not accessible).
