Hello,
I've got a VPN set up. Machine in South Carolina is the VPN host, and
I am connecting from Florida. Both are XP Professional SP2 boxes.
The VPN is working fine, to my knowledge -- I had to put the host
computer in the router's de-militarized zone since it couldn't do GRE
forwarding, but I can now connect successfully.
Beyond connecting, however, I can't do much. I can successfully ping
the host's IP (192.168.2.200). When I remote desktop into the host it
DOES show that my client is connected, and I can ping the client
(192.168.2.207)
All computers belong to the same workgroup. Computer Browser service
is running on both machines. Windows firewall is enabled with
exceptions; both computers have File & Print Sharing enabled.
However, when I browse the Network Neighborhood I only see my
computer. I cannot detect printer or file shares that the host is
successfully offering to other computers in its LAN in South
Carolina. When I remote desktop into the host, it does not show my
client in the Network Neighborhood either, although it DOES show the
other local computers.
The router on my client side is forwarding all TCP ports to my box,
but I cannot configure UDP forwarding (could this be an issue?). I
simply cannot seem to get the two computers to talk to each other,
even though they are successfully connected via VPN.
Any clues?
