Can't view shared folders over vpn
« on: January 05, 2010, 11:32:20 pm »
Followed the excellent VPN walkthrough on this forum, all seemed to work fine but I can't view any shared folders.

My home LAN ip is based on 192.168.1.xx
My ebox machine is 217.xx.xx.xx
My VPN ip is based on 192.168.0.xx

openVPN GUI opens and connect fine. If I type https:///192.168.0.1 into my browser (at home) then I get the ebox dashboard straight away. So as far as I can tell it works.

But.... If I type \\192.168.0.1\sharename into windows cannot access 192.168.0.1/ etc

I've got shares set up in ebox, filesharing enabled, samba running and, I *think* I everything right, any ideas?

There's a similar topic "VPN connection oke bot not filesharing over vpn" that talked about the same thing your having an issue with. This may help.
