I have created a VPN Gateway through 2 Netgear DG834G routers and got it connected.

I am at a miff now as what to do next.

Q. how do you map anetwork drive?
Q. i can i view the shared files on the other computer?

i can ping the router at the other end and also the comuter at the other end no problems.

Any Help would be good, as this is bugging me.

\\remote.ip.address\share should work, assuming Windows systems.
 
If you are connecting to a remote VPN server from a computer on the LAN side of your router, you need VPN client pass-through capability. When you run in pass-through mode, you need to run client software on your machine, like the PPTP client software in Windows XP. However some routers support only one pass-through client, while others support many. (Likewise, many routers have a VPN feature that allows multiple client pass-through sessions, but only one session per VPN tunnel. This means that you cannot connect multiple VPN clients simultaneously to the same VPN server).


I want to be able to connect 5 clients computers concurrently.
