I have been asked by a company to establish a VPN for one of their staff.
Their office has a peer-to-peer network with one computer set aside with all the files/folders on it. This computer has XP Professional installed. I have set up an incoming VPN connection to it. They have a Thomson Speedtouch router installed and I have opened ports, PPTP 1723 and GRE 47 and pointed these ports to the appropriate computer IP address. I have established an outgoing test connection on my computer at home to connect to the host and when I try to connect everything goes very well; The connection finds the router, passes me on to the computer which verifies my username and password and tells me I am connected. After that, I cannot see the host on my network and, of course, cannot see any files. Am I looking in the wrong place? I feel I am 95% of the way there but just need assistance with the final 5%.
The outgoing connections have been tested with Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 RC Ultimate on my desktop and Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 RC Ultimate on my laptop. All easily make the connection but I cannot see folders with any connection. Can you help at all?
