Re: vpn permissions

Hi

I have a vpn connection from home (w2k pro) to the office (w2k pro).

Can I limit the permision of the shared folder at the office to me only or
the permissions to read should be set to everyone? It seems that I can't
access to the folder from home even if I logged on as my name and password
similar to the office.

I would like to keep the permissions to only me. How would I configure the
settings? Do I need to encrypt the folders before I copy to the pc at home?

Many thanks in advance.

Richard



We need more information.

1) Your computer at home connects and authenticates and the VPN is established?

2) How does your home computer get it's IP address on the VPN interface?

3) Where is the share located (on the W2K computer that is the VPN server or on another computer on the work LAN)?

4) How are you trying to access the share (by computer name, IP Address, Browser)?

5) What error do you get when your attempt fails?

6) Please post the output of an "ipconfig /all" with the VPN connected.
