vpn connection over internet problem
I work in the following simple device configuration
and tried to get a vpn connection over the internet :
desktop pc ___ router ___ internet/WAN ___ router ___ desktop pc
vpn client ------------------------------------------- vpn server
If the client is "windows xp home" and the server is "windows xp professional"
the tunnel and the release of files/folders works perfectly.
If the client is "windows vista home" or "windows 7 home" or even "windows ce 6"
and the server is "windows 7 home" the vpn tunnel gets established but if I enter
\\x.x.x.x ( vpn server ip-address from the details tab of the connection status )
on the client the files or folders released dont appear - only an error message.
If I enter \\x.x.x.x on the server machine the released folders show up correctly.
Is perhaps "windows 7 ultimate" a prerequisite for a vpn server ?
The port 1723 is forwarded. I have a non-DHCP ip-address on the LAN connection
of the server.
