Re: Sharing Directories and Printers over a VPN Connection



Once I re-read the email, I figured it out. Disregard my last post.

I did what you said and I added the following text to the field, it now
looks like this:
localsubnet,192.168.2.x,192.168.3.x,192.168.4.x,192.168.5.x,192.168.6.x,192.168.7.x.

I then went to one of my clients computers (RDC in) and did the gpupdate
/force. I went back to my server and tried to access the files/printers but
got the following error:

\\ClientName is not accessible. You might not have Permission to use this
network resourse. Contact the Administrator of this server to find out if
you have access permission.
