Can't Map a drive after VPN'd in
in [Network and Web]
|
From: Beaon on 30 Apr 2008 15:36 Hello Guru's I am having a problem using the CMAK tool and mapping network drives. I want a one click fits all for my VPN users. A file I can send them without having to walk them through an install and setting up tedious stuff like map network drives. I want the CMAK to do it for them. I am having a problem setting this up. I have hit some problems having the mapped network drive function and some general network connectivity. Ideally what I ultimately want to have happen is the CMAk tool auto map a network drive right after the connection is established. With some users I may also want a routing table update. So what I currently have is the CMAK tool logging in successfully then I have a script set to run on "Post-Connection". Here is the script, a simple batch file. net use m: "\\172.16.0.100\Company Files" Now when the script runs it says the network path is invalid. Even though you can browse to it with the same path. Also I originally wanted people to connect to the shares via the Ethernet interface 172.16.0.2. It won't let me do that and says that the path is not found, even though you can ping it after the VPN has been established. It only lets you open a network share via the PPP interface, 172.16.0.100. Seems dumb to me. Any how back to the point, when the script runs Post Connection it says network path not found. If you wait however like 15 seconds and manually run the command it works. My question is, why won't it work right after the VPN is established like CMAK is suppose to do? Also Why cant I map a network drive to 172.16.0.2, why only the PPP interface? Something so simple seems to becoming unnecessarily complicated.
From: Robert L. (MS-MVP) on 30 Apr 2008 23:29 We have two issues here. 1. Assuming 172.16.0.2 is LAN IP address and 172.16.0.100 is PPTP IP address, it could be the routing table issue. Post the routing table and ipconfig /all of the RRAS here may help. 2. After run the CMAK, it may take for a while to be able to map. You may try to add ping 172.16.0.100 before the mapping. Please post back with the result. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Beaon" <g3tsmarter(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:649072aa-0ab8-4495-89df-b9f06daa0265(a)x19g2000prg.googlegroups.com... > Hello Guru's I am having a problem using the CMAK tool and mapping > network drives. > > I want a one click fits all for my VPN users.

From: Beaon on 1 May 2008 16:14 Thanks Robert. 172.16.0.2 is the LAN interface IP of the server. At first I also thought it may be routing related but you can ping this IP after the VPN is established. But for the sake of it here are the routing tables I can provide with you. I like your Ping idea I will try that and repost. Server Info: Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790] (C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.
