    Issue connecting to a mapped drive over VPN...


    I'm working on an odd problem with drive mapping over our F5 VPN. Here are the particulars...


    1. I can map the drive, but not access either of the folders on it via my prod VPN (tested on three laptops, using Win7 and Win10). It works fine over my Lab VPN, wireless and on the LAN itself.

    2. Not everyone is having this issue, and we have many users utilizing VPN (no idea how many actually use drive mapping, but I'd say quite a few).


    Has anyone ever run into this issue? Why would it be possible to map a drive, yet not access its contents (depending on the connection method)?


    I have a ticket open with F5 regarding this and have provided them with some captures, but no response just yet. I figured I'd ask here, bounce the issue off the Microsoft experts and see what they think.


    Thanks!

    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.

    Issue connecting to a mapped drive over VPN...

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


    Thank you for the suggestion jimbo, but it is not exactly the solution I'm looking for. I am sure there must be a way to add the folder the proper way. I am sure there has to be a setting either in the Synology NAS, or the Asus router that is currently blocking this from happen. It does work when I connect to the Synology NAS VPN directly.

    I agree.

    This is the Synology DS216J. It has 512 MB of RAM and it is according to Synology not possible to upgrade this...
