Hi there
Can anyone advise... Once a PPTP session is established by a SME Server LAN based client, out to the WAN to a remote PPTP "device", and once user authenication is complete, is this a transparent tunnel for all traffic from end to end?
The problem seen is that once the VPN sessios is "connected" (as far as the XP Client sees it), the user cannot see remote drives etc. It used to be that the user could concect to to remote drives and access data on them...
Nothing has changed on the local network, and the old rules apply, if nothing's changed here - it must be elsewhere...
My contact has asked me to look at the following:
"Would you be able amend Squid to allow access to PPTP traffic on TCP and UDP port 1723 and GRE traffic on TCP and UDP port 47.
From the look of your setup, this should fix the problem by allowing the encapsulated packets a route through the squid-based firewall."
Does this make any sense?

Does it make any sense? Nope.
Tell us - can you access these remote drives etc if you use their IP addresses.

A very good question - thanks for the suggestion.
I'll pass the thought on to our user and see what happens.
Cheers for now

Search on WINS & you may find the answer.
Your VPN client settings need to be changed.
