Hi, hope I have posted this question in the right place. I am new to forums, so bear with if I make a mistake.
I am trying to setup a PPTP VPN server under windows 7 Home Premium and then access 2 shared folders using an XP home client on a 3mobile dongle. I am using the VPN capability in Windows for the client and server end. I can connect to the VPN, but cannot see the share name \\server-pc\share. I have tried the share by connecting the client PC directly to the same router as the server and it finds \\server-pc\share and has access to it.
I suspect I have not configured the DNS server correcly somewhere, but am really unsure how to proceed.
I have tried many different combinations of things now, so I really don’t know where I am.
Here are the IPconfig files for the server first:
