Hello, all.
This is my first post to this forum, and I'm not a tech, so thank you in advance for being a little patient with me.
First of all, I'd like to describe what I'm attempting to do.
I have a program that all my agents, who work remote from their home office, must use daily. This software is designed to run from a network drive, and all its resources point to the N:\ drive. There's no way to change this.
I have my computer, and others within my LAN at my physical location, working fine by pointing to a "server" (a windows 8.1 machine) hosting the network drive.
In order to access the network drive from outside my physical location, my understanding is I need to create a vpn connection, so I did. Here's what I built:
For the Server
port 443
proto tcp
dev tun
ca "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\keys\\ca.crt"
cert "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\keys\\server.crt"
key "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\keys\\server.key"
dh "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\keys\\dh2048.pem"
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
keepalive 10 120
cipher AES-128-CBC # AES
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
verb 5
And for the client:
client
dev tun
proto tcp
remote xxx.xxx.xxx 443
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca "C:\\program files\\openvpn\\config\\ca.crt"
cert "C:\\program files\\openvpn\\config\\cmaley.crt"
key "C:\\program files\\openvpn\\config\\cmaley.key"
ns-cert-type server
remote-cert-tls server
cipher AES-128-CBC
comp-lzo
verb 5
mute 20
Now, here's my issue:
When I run the server config on my "server," and the client config on one of the clients (located at a different physical location), we connect, we can ping, but I can't find/access the shared N:\ drive. I'm certain this is something simple, as we can ping each other already, I just don't know what else to do to find what's wrong. I have TCP 443 forwarded on my router to the server.
