Well, if the 735 error is resolved, the remaining problem is name resolution/browsing. Unfortunately, browsing over VPN connections is often problematic. Typical solutions are WINS or lmhosts files. However, you should always be able to connect to shares by using the IP address of the server on which the share is located: \\IPof Server\sharename.
The 735 error is resolved and the VPN connection is made. When I try to connect to a share on the IPof Server, is my VPN connection username/password passed to the VPN server to see whether or not I can access that share, or is my Win2k username/password passed to the VPN server to see whether or not I can access that share, or what is actually passed ? In other words what to I tell the person running the VPN server machine to do in order to allow me to access a share on his/her machine ?

Thanks for your help.
The VPN server is on someone else's computer. Any idea what I have to tell that other person to do so that I can access a share on that computer after my VPN connection has been established ? What does it mean that I can connect OK using VPN, and ping OK, but I can not either see any shares or connect using a particular share on the other computer ?

You're confusing two different issues - actually two different IP
addresses:
1. You are correct that port forwarding maps your public IP address
(or
certain ports directed to that address) to the private IP address of
your
VPN or some other server.
2. The message you are receiving relates to the IP address assigned to
the
VPN CLIENT. When a VPN client connects to a VPN server, it's virtual adapter is given an IP address on the Server's internal network.
Depending
on how your RRAS/VPN server is configured, this address is assigned to
VPN
clients by DHCP or from a static pool. You can also allow clients to request a specific IP. Evidently, your client is configured to request
a
specific IP and your server is not configured to allow this.
OK. As I undertand it, the VPN server assigns my VPN client an address on their network, and then VPN flows to my router who then passes it on to my computer via my static IP address known to the router.
3. To configure your VPN client to obtain an address from the server,
check
2 things:
a. Right click on the client's VPN connectoid and select properties.
Click
the Networking tab and check TCP/IP properties - make sure it is set to obtain an IP automatically.
OK, I changed this to obtain an IP address automatically. I was able to connect, thanks ! But when I went to "Add a Network Place" and typed in the very same address as the one I use in my connection ( ala \\nn.nn.nn.nn ), in order to see shares I can access, and then click Next, I received the message "The network path was not found". I I type in the address with a share name which has been told to me ( ala \\nn.nn.nn.nn\AShare ), and then click Next, I get the same message. But if I ping it, the ping is successful.
b. In AD Users and Computers check the Dial-in tab of the client's
user
account and make sure it is not set to request a specific an IP
address.
What is "AD Users and Computers" ?

I bought a router which supports VPN Passthrough, set up a static IP address for myself in order to do port forwarding, and went into the router's configuration and set up Ipsec and PPTP to forward to my
static
IP address.
When I try to connect as a VPN client to a VPN server, it accepts my username and password with no problems but after a long time saying "Registering your computer on the network..." I get an error message which says:
"TCP/IP CP Reported Error 735: The requested address was rejected by
the
server."
The further explanation is:
"Your connection is configured to request a specific IP address.
Either
the server is not configured to permit clients that request specific
IP
addresses, or the specific IP address may already be in use by another client. If possible use DHCP to avoid addressing conflicts."
Well now I am confused. I thought port forwarding was so that I could forward my VPN to a static IP address, and not use DHCP which creates
a
dynamic IP each time. Does the specific IP address refer to my static
IP
address ? What do I tell the person who has the VPN server in order to get my connection to his machine to work ? Do I have to tell him what
my
static IP address is and make sure he configures his VPN server to accept it ? I am trying to get some idea what specifically has to be done on either of our ends to connect successfully. Thank you for any help you can give me.
