Thank you for the reply. I think that I am following you but I am on new
meds and feeling kinda buzzed. This looks like a work around for if the
remote computer cannot connect to a share on the main network. Am I
correct there? I can connect to shares on the main network from the computer
on the remote network. I cannot connect to a share on the computer that is
connecting via VPN from inside the main network though. Any ideas on how to
to that? Is it possible? Thank you very much.
