I am a total novice when it comes to Operating Systems and Networking. I have spent countless hours trying to find a fix for my problem; however, I have been unable to do so.
I have a Vista laptop that I used to connect to a corp. network via VPN. The VPN connects and I am able to get beyond the firewall using web-based applications; HOWEVER, I cannot logon to the XP network and see my LAN drives nor can I utilize applications that are two-tier/non-web that require connectivity to the XP network. The connection is marked “Private.” I am assigned an appropriate ip address by the corp. network; however, they cannot ping me.
The Windows firewall on my pc is off. The McAfee firewall is configured to allow Cisco VPN total access. I also granted all two-tier apps that I am trying to use total access as well. I do have a Vonage Wireless router that I am going through. I haven’t tried the VPN connection plugged right into the Cable Modem, but I will do that now.
Is what I am trying to do even possible? Is it easier than I am making it? Any help is appreciated.
