Hello,
Referring to this post: viewtopic.php?t=21887
I'm having a similar problem to the OP. I have OpenVPN running on Windows Server 2012 R2 with IP 10.8.0.1, mask 255.255.255.252, and my Windows 10 Client can successfully connect and receive an IP address of 10.8.0.6. I can ping the server from the client.
However, I cannot map to a shared folder on the server. I tried the solution in the OP where rules are added to the SMB-In items under File and Printer Sharing using a subnet of 10.8.0.0/30 (to correspond to a mask of 255.255.255.252). I turned off Windows Firewall both the client and the server, and I still cannot map using a standard Windows convention of \\server\share, so I'm not convinced it's a firewall problem like the OP had. It is not permissions related since my customer can access this share on his own local network using the same domain account.
I assume that if I can connect from client to server that nothing is misconfigured in my OpenVPN structure, but I cannot determine what is blocking the attempt to map the share.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated as I've Googled the crap out of this and wasted 3 hours seeking a solution.
Thanks.

Oh, and yes, these are on different subnets. The server is using 192.168.24.0, and the OpenVPN is the default of 10.8.0.0.

This works, thanks. I swear I tried IP, but perhaps I did not use \\. Appreciate it!TinCanTech wrote:Change that to \\ip.address\sharephiNole wrote:I still cannot map using a standard Windows convention of \\server\share
