Can't map a drive via VPN on Windows 7, CAN connect to VPN though?
Hello, I'm fairly new to VPN but I am having a lot of difficulty. I am trying to access my university server folder via VPN. I have been giving the information and access and am able to login and connect via the Cisco VPN client and it says Connected to "University". Then when I go to Map Network Drive and type in \\Server\Folder it gives me the error "Windows cannot access \\Server\Folder Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network." and I can click Diagnose, but that never does anything.

I am on Windows 7 Professional. I have tried turning the Windows Firewall on and off, as well as trying to configure it to allow VPN. I thought maybe the problem was a program called PeerBlock but I've since disabled it and nothing has changed.

I've even had an IT guy from the University remotely access my computer use his own login information to try to do this and he could not get it to work either. So it does not seem to be a problem of username access or restriction, but some sort of network problem that I can not figure out.
