Re: VPN Shares & Netgear DG 834

HI Again

I have been carrying out some more tests since this posting and I have now
finnaly got the shares to be mapped via IP \\ip\sharename.

I managed to do this by setting the firewall in the DG834 to allow all
protocols to go to the server IP

I am aware this could be quite a security problem, so it would be apprecited
if anyone else has a Netgear DG834 to advise exactly which ports / protocols
to allow - tried to find the answer here and Google but everhting seems to
talk about running VPN software on the Server and not using the built in VPN
facility of the router

Your commnets would be appreciated

Hi All

I hope I have posted in the correct section.

I have a problem that I cannot seem to map a network drive through a VPN
connection even though the tunnel is established and I can ping the server at
the other end from the remote computer - the error I am getting is network
path not found - the command I am using is net use H: \\10.0.2.2\Documents

Here is the setup:

At one end I have a Multitech 660VPN router with an IP of 10.0.1.1 on a LAN
of 10.0.1.xx

At the other end there is a NetGear DG834 VPN router with an IP of 10.0.2.2
on a LAN of 10.0.2.xx

I cannot understand why I can ping the server at each end which "in theory
means" the tunnel is established and the routing is fine but cannot map a
drive even when I am using the same IP as the one that I pinged

If anyone can help it would be most appreciated as I have tried all
combinations but nothing seems to work – although I did manage to map a drive
once and then could npot duplicate what I had done.

BTW – Terminal services works fine at both sites

Thanks for your time

Ray
