Windows Forum / Windows XP / Remote Desktop / December 2006VPN works but I can't access computers
Hi all, I could successfuly connect to my home network through VPN but I can't access my computer. I try to ping it and get no answer. I can connect remotely to the router and I can ping my netword printer, but the computer just does not respond. This computer is running Windows XP PRO sp2. What could be the problem? When I'm working locally, i can ping this computer with my notebook ans use the shared resources. Thanks for any hint. We need more information to help. Posting the result of ipconfig /all may help.

No idea what the problem was, since I've changed nothing. I can use my printer in the office since the software connects to it through the ip address, but I cannot connect to my computer. I think it's a windows configuration problem. There is no server in this network, so no domain. Just a workgroup. I'm trying to moung a shared folder but i can't. I think it has to do with the wins server. How do I configure it in a workgroup? Can I mout drives through ip addresses? Thanks. Assuming you can ping the IP, you may have two options.

Hi, Just an update. I still cannot map any drive, but I can ftp the computer. I don't get why mapping does not work. I've enabled Netbios on both computers. The share i'm testing is open for all users and still no success. In my office the shares work fine. Is it my home computer the problem? Thanks. Hi, Gave up the vpn connection the way i was doing before and now I'm trying with modeconfig. It got worse. Although I connect to the VPN and receive an ip address, I can't ping the computers.
