I'm having trouble getting my VPN connection setup in such a way that I can see my network shares. I'm successfully getting connected to the VPN but I just cannot see any network shares or network computers. I also cannot connect to network locations that I have already mapped.
I've got a MS Surface running Windows RT. On this machine I've mapped several shared network folders. While on my LAN I can access these flawlessly. I've setup a VPN connection and can successfully connect (I've proven this by checking my IP address and by also logging onto my Router using it's internal IP address while connected to the VPN remotely). But once I'm connected I get an error message while trying to use a mapped network location.
I've tried to setup the VPN one of two ways.
1 - No port forwarding
2 - Setting up port forwarding to a computer on my LAN and then configuring an incoming connection on that computer and allowing file/printer sharing on that incoming connection. When done this way I KNOW that I'm connected because I can see it in my network adapters.
But in either scenario I still cannot utilize my network shares which is the whole reason I'm trying to setup a VPN in the first place.
So what do I need to do to make this happen? I'd like it to work just as my work laptop works while using the VPN that they've setup. Once I connect I can access everything just as if I were in the office.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
