Have Netgear Nighthawk R7000P with VPN enabled and current firemware... created config file for windows..AT&T modem IP Passthru to router,, router has static info for WAN/Internet side and standard DHCP for local LAN

Server - Win7 pro "main" with shared resources, static IP on main, no firewall, totally accessible fine from local LAN computers...

Installed latest OPENvpn software on remote win10 Pro client, client connects to Router with a few errors, but icon shows green connection, can see router IP and login to router fine, can PING the "main" static IP just fine, but can't browse to it in Explorer either by name or IP, can't reach via \\IP address\shared resource, can't map network drive letter to \\IP\shared resource, either

current vpn config file info:

I have seen this as a common issue...but I don't know how to resolve...any suggestions would be appreciated
