Ahahaha, the thread starter have the same problem as I do... and I KNOW THE ANSWER !!!

The answer is: Microsoft SMB server for Windows clients DOES NOT SUPPORT ROUTING. IT ONLY SUPPORTS COMMUNICATION TO LOCAL NETWORK.

Here's how I "solve" mine. I have a Linux server running many services, one of them is an SMB Server, so that I can access it's Shares just like in Windows and then update my files over network. Then my client called me, he want to do the same thing (connect via VPN, change his files on other WINDOWS computer over VPN). Now when he does that I trap the TCP request, the windoes client does indeed accepted the request, but returns nothing... just nothing... That was not the case with my Linux server. Then I try it with other computer(s) over several VPN hops away... same behavior. Linux servers will reply and publish it's shares without ANY PROBLEMS, Windows clients on the other hand replies nothing... Hope this clears things...

Ps: Windows Server has the ability to serve SMB shares over routed network, I've ran these kind of setups on some of my clients, some running Windows 2000 Server and several Windows 2003 Servers.

See, SMB (Server Message Block) server, the process that responsible for our File and Print sharing is unable to operate in a routed network. At least this is the case for Windows Clients. So no matter what you do, you can't access your share over a routed network. On the other hand, Linux's SMB server implementation does support transfers over routed network, as is with Windows Server variant.

I totally got to get a few dummy computers so that I can load Linux on it. I am only familar with the DOS and Windows systems. DOS 5.0 all the wa through Windows 3.1 to Windows 7.... Ahhh where have the years gone?

Out of topic for a bit...

acurasd, you should... Using Linux will reopen those beautiful memories of typing DOS commands, setting up autoexec.bat file, making "profiles" to play games, use the EMM386.exe file to make High memory available for DOOM/DOOM II, editing config.sys files... aaaahhh the good old days. No more BSOD, no weird non functional devices. everything is manually configured, down to which IRQ/DMA numbers. I miss those days...

I miss the 90's dude where everything wasn't as complicated. I was in middle school. The little Ferbies were considrerd Security Threat becuase they repeated everything you said *lol* stupid government.

Yeah i remember that stuff about dos... I mean i can still play those games. Trust me, they are not lost.. My favorite are Unreal and Quake 3... I play those and then the newer ones are Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2

Actually the mode/router is doing the VPN work. The only Client software is on the Windows & machine I am using to "dial in" the VPN connection. There is no extra software running on the home PC's as the router does the magic. They are all Windows PC's and the VPN just connects the two systems togeather thus they should work exactly as if I was at home connected.

These are not server machines at home. They are just straight PC's with shares on them.

Err.. the "Client" software IS the one that's doing all the work. In my Mikrotik router, it has it's own VPN client, so the router is the one that dials, connects, log, redials if disconnected, and route everything... all without my computer/iphone/laptop/ipod knowing anything about what goes where. You need to get a router that has a VPN client that has the ability to dial/redial and route+traffic filtering. The fact that your XBOX lost connection to your laptop is the indicator that your laptop is the one that's connecting to the VPN gateway, not your router. If the router does all the things needed, your laptop will be discoverable in your local LAN.

Here's the thing, Windows client have a SMB server process, the one that responsible for Print and File sharing, in our Windows "Client" variant, the SMB server does not support routed communication. Any request from a network beyond it's own subnet will be discarded. That is not the case when you use a Windows "Server". But hey... it's your network, see if you can make it work (access Windows share over VPN). I know for fact that the darn thing won't work over routed network is PITA... Good luck.

My router is a Draytek 2820N, it has all this. My phone connects, my laptop connects. It has the client built in but it also has the server built it to it. You can say to it I want to connect now, Please dial out and call my IP that I am currently on as it is moving all the time. The client software on my Laptop came with the router and works with it.
No where was there any mention of an XBOX. The router IS the VPN connection. I can use IE to go and remote into it and see the connection is active and working and the speeds.
I will investigate the routed shares thing.

I'm not sure I agree with this. SMB uses TCP/IP which is a routed protocol. Many mapped drive issues over VPN tend to come from DNS or WINS problems. SMB requires a name server.

I can find no information on the Microsoft Technet site about SMB not being routable from a client. Something else is wrong here.

veldthui: Is it possible we can get a look at the ipconfig /all results when connected to the VPN at your sister's house? I'd like to see the DNS and Gateway entries while the tunnel is active.

Ahahaha, the thread starter have the same problem as I do... and I KNOW THE ANSWER !!!

The answer is: Microsoft SMB server for Windows clients DOES NOT SUPPORT ROUTING. IT ONLY SUPPORTS COMMUNICATION TO LOCAL NETWORK.
Click to expand...

I'm not sure I agree with this. SMB uses TCP/IP which is a routed protocol. Many mapped drive issues over VPN tend to come from DNS or WINS problems. SMB requires a name server.

I can find no information on the Microsoft Technet site about SMB not being routable from a client. Something else is wrong here.

veldthui: Is it possible we can get a look at the ipconfig /all results when connected to the VPN at your sister's house? I'd like to see the DNS and Gateway entries while the tunnel is active.
Click to expand...

I at first doesn't understand what was going on in my own network... I have a persistent VPN connection to one of my client on another city. At first I use Softperfect Network Scanner to enumerate any number of clients and what service they offer in one "console". When I run that scanner on a LAN (I logged on locally, one network with them), it can enumerate and tell me which have what share to offer. When I do that at home over VPN, the shares are gone. I tried the same thing to another client of mine, this one is 2 VPN hops away (me VPN to a network, this network VPN to my client), same thing. The only host(s) that will list it's shares are Linux boxes that's serving SMB shares, Linux's SMB server implementation supports listening to requests other than it's own subnet (you can set it to do otherwise).

If you're familiar with Apache/IIS, in both of those programs you can define the
[listen_address : port], I think SMB server in Windows clients are listening to [LAN_IP_Address:139] instead of [0.0.0.0:139]. The TCP/IP protocol does support routing, the problem here is that the server that is listening the requests are deaf to requests that are not coming from it's subnet.

I think you have the resources to try things out, RedBirdDad. If you can access a Windows Client's SMB share over a routed network, please teach me how, I've been bugged with this issue since almost 3 years ago and haven't found any solution/clue...

I'm not sure what I'm seeing here. I see a wireless connection with IP information but everything else shows disconnected. I don't see a VPN tunnel. What kind of VPN connection is this? What client are you using? Is it PPTP? IPSec? SSL?

veldthui: Is it possible we can get a look at the ipconfig /all results when connected to the VPN at your sister's house? I'd like to see the DNS and Gateway entries while the tunnel is active.

I'm not sure what I'm seeing here. I see a wireless connection with IP information but everything else shows disconnected. I don't see a VPN tunnel. What kind of VPN connection is this? What client are you using? Is it PPTP? IPSec? SSL?
Click to expand...

There are 2 active interfaces, one is the "Wireless LAN adapter JV Wireless" (192.168.1.65), the other one is "PPP adapter To Vigor" (192.168.0.100). Looking at this, the one that initiates the VPN connection is the Laptop, I don't see how a VPN connection initiated by the router would wind up shown in the ipconfig /all on the laptop...

veldthui, can you make a screenshot of the page you were referring, the one you said you'd click on to initiate VPN connection over on your router, please?

Correct. There are 2 active connections. The first is the Wireless Adaptor which is the Wireless connection to my sisters router. It has DHCP running and has allocated an IP address of 192.169.1.65. The bluetooth connection is not operatoing. The second is the To Vigor adaptor which is the PPTP VPN connection and has an IP address if 192.168.0.100 (which has been given by the DHCP server on my home router). The home network is 192.168.0.0/254 range. The connection is open as I can ping every single PC and the router on the home network. Just cant see the drives. Also can't connect to the Apache server that is on one of the machines through the VPN connection but can through the internet connection.

Cant do any screen shots at present as am at work. The VPN Client is called SmartVPN by Draytek but I have also tried the Windows 7 internal VPN connector as well and same story.

veldthui,

I have done everything in my power to make Windows file share to be available over routed network (in this case, VPN connection) in my own network, and for the love of god... after 3 years, I still don't know how to do that on a Windows Client. Which made me draw a conclusion, Windows Client SMB server implementation is being "crippled" by Microsoft to push Windows Server product, product differentiation for file serving products I suppose.

Have you tried disabling the Windows Firewall on your "server" at home, see if it connects?

Ps. Maybe it's Windows Firewall that's blocking the traffic...

HOLY CRAP, I solved it !!!

The culprit is as usual ==> WINDOWS FIREWALL !!!

Here's how:

1. Open Windows Firewall, go to it's advanced settings.
2. Click the Inbound Rules.
3. Create a new inbound rule
4. Use a predefined rule, select "File and Printer Sharing".
5. Check the "File and printer sharing (SMB-in)", profile Private, Public
6. Allow the connection
7. Right click the newly created rule, click "Properties"
8. Go to "Scope" tab, "Remote IP address" change to "Any IP address"
9. Hit OK

That should do it.

Is that on the remote machines to do those changes? I will have to do it to each PC. I use Windows Firewall on two machines and AVG on the 3rd. Will check it out when I get a chance which may be a couple of days now due to work.
