Hi There,
This is probably more of a windows issue, but hopefully someone has come across it before.
I have users on Win7 64bit that are local admins on their laptops, connecting to PPTP VPN using a windows VPN connection through Astaro UTM v9.135-2.
When they connect they are not able to access the mapped drives that are available when they are on the local lan.
The mapped drives are in the form \fileserver1\Documents and are done via policy. When on the VPN they can ping fileserver1 okay, they can nslookup filserver1 and it returns fileserver1.local okay. They can even map the drive \fileserver1.local\Documents okay, but just not access the mapped \fileserver1\Documents.
I don't really want to change the policy to map using \fileserver1.local\Documents in case they have docs and shortcuts etc linking using the shortname as it will effect about 100 users and while some have the smarts to be able to remap the drive as \fileserver1.local\Documents, most would not be able to.
And I shouldn't have to change the policy, as interestingly it works as an domain administrator - but that's no solution.
I can log in as Domain Admin, open the same VPN connection they do, log onto the VPN using the same credentials they do, switch user to the laptop username and I can open the mapped drive \fileserver1\Documents no problem this time.
All windows firewalls are turned off on the laptop while I have been testing.
Any ideas?
