Topic: vpn inlog fail

[marc]

I have a problem with finding my files via vpn.
The vpn connection is connecting well I think, but maken a networkconneting get stocked by login. It keeps on asking for login even when I use the right login.

Making vpn connection with admin/password
Making networkconnection with ibayname/password

Can somebody telling what is going wrong?

Best regards

You can only connect via VPN with a valid username & password.

Have you enabled VPN access in the server manager for each user ?

Perhaps a read of the manual may be appropriate.
If you are using a seperate router you need to forward a port to the server, search here on VPN as it has all been answered before.

enabled pptp acces --> yes
sme server --> servergateway mode (soo no router between)

By maken networkconnection what do I have to fill in by map:
\\servername\ibayname or
\\intern ip\ibayname or
\\extern ip\ibayname or
something els

OK. You also need to enable access in the User panel in server manager for each user you want to have VPN access enabled for.

This can work
net use M: \\servername\ibayname
but you need to configure WINS server correctly in your VPN client on your workstation/PC for the above to work OK.
Not all Internet connections support WINS correctly (due to protocols/equipment used by ISP's etc etc), so you may not be able to resolve mapping by servername.

Instead use
net use M: \\localip\ibayname
eg
net use M: \\192.168.1.1\ibayname

FYI -I've never had to do that.
