I'm still a little puzzled.
- What's a "Win 100 pro"?
- Can you connect to shares on your pseudo-server by using the "net use"
command I suggested in my first reply?
- I do not think that you can test a VPN properly while at the same time
having a direct network connection between the two machines. They
would have to be on separate networks that are connected via a dial-up
modem or via the Internet.
- What is the subnet address of your pseudo-server? And the subnet
address of the remote machine? They should be on different subnets.
- Did you make sure to turn off all firewalls during testing?
