VPN Issue
I have a small VPN set up using two routers - one at each office. Previously
Using XP Pro machines in the firewall I had to change the scope of the File and Printer sharing to 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 then the computers could "see" each other. Now I have a Vista PC on one end (192.168.0.253) and still have XP Pro at the other (192.168.1.1) but although I can ping 192.168.1.1 I cannot access any of the shares. Remote Desktop works fine. and I can see 192.168.0.253 form 192.168.1.1 All othe XP Pro machines at both ends can see each other fine The error message I get when diagnosing the problem is that a remote firewall is blocking File and Printer sharing (SMB) and that Windows has confirmed that firewall on this (Vista) computer is configured correctly but only the Vista pc cannot connect to 192.168.1.1 so that cannot be right. I have tried disabling the firewall on the Vista PC but ot makes no difference. Help Please!

VPN Issue
Just for laughs I thought I'd put Office2 in a hosts file - and voila I can
now "see" the XP Pro machine. But I still can't see the machine if I try and access \\192.168.1.1 but I can if I try \\Office2 - Why is this? is this normanl? "marco" wrote in message ...
