I'm having a persistent issue with my attempt to set up a VPN
connection to our small office.
What I need to do.... I need to see the files that reside on a Linux
file-server at the office.
What I set up.... I made one of the XP Machines at the office a VPN
Server. This machine has access to the Linux File Server, so I expect
that my VPN Client (at home) should be able to see all the resources
of the VPN Server, including the mapped drive of the Linux File
Server.
The Problem... The only resources I can see over my VPN connection are
the ones which the XP-VPN-Server has ear-marked as "shared". If it's
not a shared resource, I can't see it via VPN. (I would simply make
the File-Server's mapped drive "shared" but XP will not allow that.)
I have attempted to simplify the problem in the following way; I
eliminated all the routers & even the Internet connection. I went to
the office & right there on the LAN, I made one other machine a act as
a VPN client to the VPN server just one door away. The result is the
same.... I only see the shared resources of the VPN Server.
Thoughts?
