Hello!
This is driving me batty - I just set up a Windows Server 2008 (SBS) R2 VPN. I can sign into the network through the VPN on a Windows 7 Pro workstation through the Internet. I can access RDP - I can get the desktop. I can ping the server. But, I cannot access the network shares - the workstation just will not see them. I have researched this exhaustively and just do not know what the problem is. Here is some more info:
1) I CAN access a different Windows Server 2008 R2 network shares that I set up and it works - so I know it is not the workstation.
2) The error I get is 0x80004005 - diagnosis states "file and print sharing resource is online but isn't responding to connection attempts"
So far I modified Group Policy to treat anonymous connections as everyone but that did not help. I would greatly appreciate some help - perhaps you had this issue and found the fix; could share it here? Thank you!!
