Hello:

I work @ ECU and am trying to VPN into my work server via VPN.

I can establish a connection, however when i try to access the server via Internet Explorer, I can't. I also tried to connect to the server through "Go"
--> "Network" with no luck.

I tried pinging the server via the Terminal window, also no luck.

So although now I can access web based databses which are work related that I couldn't access before, I cannot access the main server and the files on it.

So my question is:

How does one connect to a windows share server when VPNing through a Mac?

You didn't mention which OS X version. I've always had trouble with 10.2.x and only 10.3.x seems to work reliably in connecting to my work servers. Perhaps you've turned the firewall on SMB connections... since you can access it via the Web but not through a share.



Cheers, Glen Low
