VPN allows connection, but doesn't allow access to files
I have set up a Windows 7 machine that has a VPN incoming connection set-up, I have set up my router properly so that someone can connect via VPN, specifically me, from work, and from my laptop when I am out of the house. The reason for the VPN is to have the ability to have access to my files at my home office when I am away from it.
I an using a Mac with OS X 10.7 at work, and have set up the VPN and can see the VPN server that is at the home office, but when I open it, it give a connection failed error.
I can remote desktop with the VPN server, using team viewer and see that there is a connection and that it is my office mac.
Am I missing something that will allow me to view my files? Do I have something configured incorrectly? I have set up my network shares, is there a certain way that I need to set them up?
