vpn to sme server
« on: October 09, 2008, 08:16:22 PM »
I have a server/gateway installation. We have a static ip address and have assigned it to a domain. I have set up the vpn on the xp client. The xp machine connects fine to the client but once we are connected and we click on the mapped drive it only brings up the offline files on the local machine.
I have set the user for vpn. the user uses 3G to connect to the internet

Assuming you have read through http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter11#PPTP_.28VPN.29 and set up everything correctly...  (making sure you have the correct number of PPTP connections enabled etc.)

If your VPN connection connects properly to the SME server, the try browsing to the server directly via IP "Start">"Run"  and type \\YourServerInternalIP

Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon, and wise too late...

it connects, but I can't get to the server's internal ip or external ip. all the other apps work like browser, ftp and putty.
I ran zenmap and got the following:

Can it not be that I am using the default windows xp vpn client. Is there not an alternative vpn client that I can install on the windows machine?
