Mapping Drives on VPN - Access denied
Hi I have been using a VPN to access my Home Server for 2 / 3 years without thinking of technical issues; it just worked!
On this visit when I initiate a connection I can see the mapped drives and can open them but I can no longer have full control of a folder (ie copy to/from create a new document) - I keep on getting "Access Denied" or similar reports. I tried taking ownership of the folder but that is not permitted.
My Local (overseas) computer is in the same Workgroup and obviously when connected it has an IP to match the remote sub-net. I have the same user name on both the local and the remote machine but when I try to add \\local_machine\user_name to list in the Security tab I can't (obviously enough).
The mystery is why it has worked seamlessly for 2 / 3 years and why now (there has been no change on the Home Server - I know everyone says this) it has this behaviour.
Anyone who has experienced the same issue and has a solution please let me know! Thanks Jean
