PPTP VPN working, file sharing not

Tue Apr 10, 2018 11:20 pm

Hi.
I was able to successfully configure a vpn by PPTP in my Mikrotik. I can connect without problems. I have ping to all the computers in my network, I can even use the web services. However, I am not managing to access the shared folders of the computers, either \\ IP or \\ name. Can anybody help me?
Regards

It is probably your OS firewall that is preventing share services to be used from non local subnet.
For the test, disable your OS firewall and check again.

Hi!
No, I did disable the firewall. Also I have a NAS in the network and can't reach the shared folders either.

Anyway it's firewall job. Search for rules in PC or in router.

As I told, I don't know what else to do. It seems that only the file sharing is blocked through VPN.
