Re: VPN - Mapping

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Janani,

Thank you for the response - I am sorry it took so long to get back to you.
The Server's IP address is 192.168.1.109. The 192.168.1.169 is generated by
the server and assigned to the VPN connection (I don't know if that answers
the question - please let me know).
I can ping that address. What is interesting is at one time I was able to
connect to the drive using th eserver name (win2ksrv).

thanks
Rich
