VPN - Server viewable - workstations not ??

[bbos360]

Thankyou for any responses on this query, assistance is always appreciated and given where applicable.

I have currently been put in charge of our small office LAN (20 machines 4 printers.. across 3 floors etc) but I am from a strong programming background and am now moving into networking as this is very exciting stuff!

Query:

I have set up a VPN which seems to work fine. I log into it from home using my XP machine into the office server (2000). I use windows own software in control panel not third party software. I can see the whole of my office server, all directories, copy files to my home pc etc.

What I really need to do is view my development machine in the office. Once I am logged into the server how do i view machines which in the office the server sees with no problems?

(when I am connected to the VPN i can connect to server by mapping network drive \\servername\share but this does not work with the workstations!!)

thanks

Have you verified that you are receiving an IP for your network? IPCONFIG /ALL and look for the VPN adapter or Virtual PPP adapter... Thanks,

all seems ok in ipconfig -> I can log into the server from home but not any workstations, which all work fine in the office.

is there a specific method one needs to use because drives to the workstations does not work?

If you can see the server and not the clients it is most likely a routing problem, myself I am having a routing problem too, so I would look to make sure that you have your server routing between the two subnets.
