can't access files from shared folders now that VPN is installed
Posted by Altrokr on November 25th, 2007


I can no longer access files from shared folders on my PC (PC #1)now that I
have a VPN installed. I can see, and access files from my other PC (PC #2),
but not vice versa. I can see it as a workgroup computer but none of the
shared folders appear. I can't ping the IP either. Any help? Oh yeah, running
cisco system VPN client.

through the VPN tunnel while it's enabled, and this protects the remote
network from nefarious activity on *your* network (malware/trojan/whatnot).
