I have a simple Seagate NAS that I use for sharing some media for my household. When my Linux machine is connected to OpenVPN, it sees the NAS like nothing changed. Everything on the local network seems unaffected. My Windows machine still sees it on the network and can connect to the web interface via the NAS IP address, but it can no longer connect to it as a drive on the network. The error is: [quote]\\PERSONALCLOUD is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network address is invalid.[/quote] Both the Windows machine and Linux one are using the same OpenVPN config. When not on OpenVPN, the Window's machine connects to the drive fine. Anybody have any advice for me? Thank you very your time reading this!

Connectivity to NAS While Using OpenVPN

The error is:

The network address is invalid.

Both the Windows machine and Linux one are using the same OpenVPN config. When not on OpenVPN, the Window's machine connects to the drive fine. Anybody have any advice for me? Thank you very your time reading this!
