I had a 4 port wireless AT&T router and I could connect to several computers outside my house using remote desktop. This router went bad so I had to replace it by a Dlink DI-524, after installing this Dlink router I cannot use remote desktop anymore from my house it will never connect me with...

I found out that the hard drive from my server had a firewall setting preventing it from being accessed. I removed it by clicking on properties, sharing, View your Windows firewall setting and unchecking On - recommended. Problem solved, thanks for the assistance received. Cuzurro

For authentication I use the same user ID and password that Remote desktop uses. I connect using remote desktop. The disk is shared I'll check the NTFS permissions. Cuzurro

I just mapped another drive in the remote network, but this one drive at the server I just can't. I used the same UNC format to no avail. Cuzurro

One more piece of information. I have several other drives mapped within the network. It's just this one critical drive, the one I need to access, that won't accept connections. Cuzurro

No, I can't access the server. The remote network is a workgroup, we use a computer with centralized data that we call a server. The drive in the "server" is shared, within the local network there is full access to it. So, I really don't need special rights to access the "server". I got this VPN...

I have a linksys WRV54G, I'm using linksys quick vpn sw on my remote computers. I can establish a vpn connection with QuickVPN. When I try to map any network drive in my remote location it always comes back to me as this network drive is not accessible. I can ping the server's ip address and its...

Hi, Here is my setup. Two offices with D-Link VPN routers. Each router has a computer connected with XP pro, no windows firewall. No hibernation, no spyware, virus. Port 3389 open in router's firewall for both TCP/UDP and "always on" connection. From my house I can always establish the VPN...

Some assistance please, I finally enabled NetBIOS in both the router and the two computers that I want interconnected but yet I cannot see my remote network. I am a frustated 'cause I see people getting this connection established and finally setting up their VPN successfully but in my case...

Thank you, I will try this. I have already enabled NetBIOS on one side. Can u please explain more on: "Also I find that by adding a static route to the server from the 'main office' router helps." I am not an expert and need a little bit more detail. Tomahawk

I have a follow up question, if besides viewing files I end up wanting to run an application from a remote location like our appointments software and view only, not edit, the appointments Am I better off using something like PCanywhere instead of a VPN? Thx

I've seen some graphics in howstuffworks.com and Linskys - Educate me links. No powerpoit or flash though. Tomahawk

I created a tunnel with two D-Link DI-824VUP. My understanding was that once the tunnel was created then I could see my remote network as if I was directly connected to it. However when I click on My Network Places I can only see the local network. The idea behind using the VPN was to remotely...

I had a problem of a similar nature and got it solved, please refer to my post "W98 - Lost connection to my workgroup" , you might find some ideas in there. Tomahawk
