Re: Windows 2003 VPN Default Gateway Issues

make sure no firewall blocks the file sharing and make you have enable sharing. On the remote computer, do net share and net view \\localIP. Post back with the result.

Also when I attempt the \\Net view ServerIP command on the server I'm
connected to I get
System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found.
I can ping the server by name and IP when connected.
