VPN client can not access network resource
----------
My vpn client is able to connect and authenticate on the VPN server fine. The VPN server is able to ping the vpn client fine, but the vpn client can not ping the vpn server nor does it able to map any network drives. The VPN client is able to access the Internet fine at this point but can not access network resource. Will anyone tell me what's going on and how do I go about troubleshooting this problem?

Thank you,

ljCharlie

Okay, here's something I found out. When I click on the Details tab of the VPN connection, WAN Miniport(PPTP), I see that the VPN server's IP address is now a local address with 192.168.0.2 instead of the public IP address. I am able to ping and map to the VPN server's shared folders. However, I am unable to map to our file server. I tried the server name and also the file server's public IP and still not working. Obviously there is something I need to configure..but I'm not sure what it is. But I did find out that maping the VPN server shared drives works if using the private IP address. There is something fishy about this but I'm not sure what it is yet.
