After I established a VPN connection, I used Windows
Explorer to map a network drive to the member server. When
I click browse to select a shared network folder, I don't
see the member server listed under "Computers Near Me" or
our domain name under "Microsoft Windows Network".

When I type the path "\\member server\share" (yes the
folder is shared) I get the following error message:
"The network path \\member server\share could not be
found".

Thank you,
Millie
