File sharing over VPN

[SussexBoy]

Hi,

I've got a stable VPN connection from my home (using Greenbow IPSec software on Win2k) to the office (Linksys BEFSX41 vpn router).

However, I can't access a Windows share on a PC behind the Linksys. I CAN however ping it, but can't get to it by the usual \\192.168.1.100\data or even \\server\data.

My IP structure is as follows:

My home network
-----------------
My PC: 192.168.0.100
My DSL Router: 192.168.0.1


My Office Network
------------------
Linksys VPN Router: 192.168.1.1
PC with Share: 192.168.1.100


In Greenbow, I've set it up to display me as 192.168.2.1 in the office network.


Any thoughts?!


Thank

change your subnet at home to 10.x.x.x or 172.x.x.x

Since you can ping the remote IP, I am assuming it is permission or Cached Credentials issues. To test it, using the net view \\Ip command. You will receive system error 5 if it is permiession issue. or check this web page for step by step troubleshooting.
