VPN client don't access lan resources

[LuizAugusto]

I have a Win2k server in a single domain. The VPN clients can see lan computers in domain, but can't access the resources like drive C: in that computers.

What can I forgot to configure?

HI!

First of all:

DRIVE C MUST NOT BE SHARED!

I'll try to make it clearer:
DRIVE C MUST NOT BE SHARED!
DRIVE C MUST NOT BE SHARED!
DRIVE C MUST NOT BE SHARED!

Doing so opennes an easy way for virusses and other malicious things to infect via the network.
EVEN IF YOU ARE PROTECTED WITH A FIREWALL, IT IS NOT SAFE TO SHARE C DRIVES!

You should remove all C shares from clients.
Share specifice folders and/or use your server's shared folders for sharing.
That's the idea.

(Drive C on the server should only be shared with the administrative share C$ or better not shared at all).


OK, now for the networking stuff.
You'll have to supply more information to get better answers.
What protocols are used in the LAN? (TCP/IP only?)
What is the network configuration?
If you are using TCPIP in the LAN you'll have to check this things at least:
1) Can you access from VPN to another host using IP address?
try
NET VIEW \\x.x.x.x
or Start ==> Run ==>
\\x.x.x.x
from the VPN client.

If this works, then you have a name resolution problem.
Check out WINS and DNS configuration, or implement HOSTS/LMHOSTS files on remote clients.

2) In RRAS manager console on the server, go to your server properties, and in the IP tab check the "IP ROUTING" check box.

Bye
