| | W7 Cannot Connect to Shared Network Folders After upgrading from XP Pro to Windows 7 64, users can no longer access network folders when working remotely using a VPN. Users were able to access the folders using XP Pro. Users can access other network devices, such as printers, when working remotely. Users are able to access network folders when working locally on the network. To trouble-shoot, I have ensured the security and share settings are set correctly on the network folders. I have also changed some settings in gpedit/computer configuration/windows settings/security settings/local policies/security options. All had no positive affect. Can still access network shares remotely using XP. Thanks, Pablo. |

Virtual Private Network (VPN) - Enable Incoming VPN Connections Second link is to enable outgoing VPN connections. Virtual Private Network (VPN) – Enable Outgoing VPN Connections If this doesn't work I have some other settings that might get this working for you. |
