    How do I map network drive when connected to VPN at home?


    Hi,

    I'm currently at work and would like to map a network folder (music) located on my Synology NAS back home.

    I'm connected to my home network via a VPN server in my Asus router. The NAS is located at IP 192.168.1.111

    I am not able to connect to the NAS and this network folder when connected to my network via VPN, only when I am actually at home following this tutorial:

    DiskStation Manager - Knowledge Base | Synology Inc.

    I suspect I have to open some ports on my router to allow this? Is this correct?

    What must I do to connect to this music folder on my NAS back home?

    :)

    Trouble mapping a drive over a VPN


    I have a network attached storage system and when I am out of network I connect through a VPN and map the drive to access.

    A few computers have been able to connect to the VPN and map the drive while others can connect to the VPN but then when trying to map the drive it says network error "windows cannot access (folder location)"

    Anyone know what the issue may be? I suspect it's a setting on those individual computers not being able to map the drive rather than an issue with my NAS system.

    I've attached a screenshot of the error.

    How do I map network drive when connected to VPN at home?

    School's mapped network


    ive been trying to connect to my school's network remotely from home. My classmate's don't seem to be having an issue.

    first step is to use Pulse Secure to connect to my shcool's VPN and this is successfuly
    using windows "Mapped Networks and Drives" i assign a drive letter and type \\files.al-lab.csus.edu\Groups as instructed. and then i check “Connect using different credentials” like also instructed.

    the instructions stress that you must type .\ before your username (i have tried with and without)

    but i always get incorrect password

    i have also tried the USE NET command with the same results

    the username and password is, in fact, correct because it is the same credentials i use to connect with Pulse Secure and the web-based/in browser version of the network

    ive also tried refreshing DNS and resetting winsock
