Hello,
I have a MS Windows 2003 Server running an Active directory.
The plan is to access file sharing from outside the LAN using port tunneling over SSL.
THE PROBLEM IS CONNECTING VISTA... XP WORKS FINE.
Here is the architecture:
Remote Computer----------(INTERNET)----------(GATEWAY_SERVER)------------(MS WINDOWS 2003)
With Putty we SSH to the gateway with the following tunneling rule:
10.0.0.2:139:msserver.lan.mydomain.com:139
On XP, here is what we do to make it work:
1) Add "Loopback" adapter (see http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_...Windows-XP.html for instructions)
2) Rename it to "VPN"
3) Right click "VPN", and choose "Properties"
4) Make sure to unselect "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks"
5) Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click "Properties"
6) Set "Use the following IP address" and use "10.0.0.2" with subnet mask "255.255.255.0"
7) Leave "Default gateway" and the servers below "Use the following DNS server addresses" empty
8) Click on "Advanced..." then "WINS"
9) Make sure "Enable LMHOSTS lookup" is unselected
10) Set "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP"
11) Click "OK", "OK", "OK"
12) Setup network drives on MS SERVER using \\10.0.0.2\name_of_drive When prompted for Login/Pass, use *user's* login/pass and check "Remember my password"
IT WORKS on XP
VISTA IS GIVING ME A HARD TIME. (The exact same server, gateway and configuration)
It says: "Unable to resolve name" check spelling...
Any clues for VISTA???
Regards
