Hi, I am running windows 2k pro on my computer which has some shared directories and a shared printer. I am connecting via vpn into my company and getting a connection fine. They can ping, browse my shared directories but as soon as they try and connect to my printer (which they can see when they do \\mycomputername\printer and i have also used \\iptocomputer\printer) it gives this error message:
"Could not connect to the printer. You either entered a printer name that was incorrect or the specified printer is no longer connected ot hte server." Now i have checked the premissions and ive given everyone full access to the printer (manage and print) and the error message is comming back almost right away. I have reinstalled the printer and changed the shared name for the printeras well (which they can see on the other side) but they cant connect. The office trying to connect to my computer is a windows 2k (and we have tried a win xp pro box to).
the vpn client i am using is MUVPM 6.1.
anyway any suggestions would be great.
tks
Justin
