How do I browse network shares over a VPN?

Network neighborhood will not work over a VPN (due to its non-routable nature). To access a network share over a VPN, you can:

  1. To connect via Hostname
          \\Hostname_of_server\Share_Name
    • Use the Host File on IPCOP (see 1.3.3)
    • Use the Host File on your local computer
    • Use a WINS server
  2. To connect via IP address
          \\IP.Address.of.Server\Share_name
    • No changes needed
