Re: Windows 10 VPN user cannot see Netserver shares

Got it to work.

Used the Brute Force and Ignorance method. Put a record in her HOSTS file
that points the Netserver name to the proper IP address.

That will do the trick for now as we have network changes coming up in a
few months.

Does a DOS ping work?

The deprecated IBM i Access for Windows had cwbping for verifying
connection.
The new IBM i Access Client Solutions uses this instead (your directory
structure will vary):
\Users\ROB\IBM\ClientSolutions\Start_Programs\Windows_i386-32\acslaunch_win-32.exe
/PLUGIN=ping /SYSTEM=GDIHQ

It should return:

If the file service works you should be able to access your mapped drives.

The documentation is hidden at
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/as400/products/clientaccess/

That is also where I figured out how to get to the graphical way.

Graphically you can get to it with the image I am BCCing you

OK, now that she's working 500 miles away, the problem is back.

However, if she replaces the Netserver name with the IP address, it works.

Does that give anyone a clue?

I don't know. I just work here.

All,

V7R1, current on PTFs.

We have a user who is going to start working remotely next week. She
will
VPN in using a Win 10 laptop, with an old Win 7 laptop in reserve.

We have a green screen app with a hyperlink on the screen to a shared
file
on the IFS. When "VPNing" in, she can click on the hyperlink on the
Win 7
laptop and it works fine. If she tries it on the Win 10 laptop, it
fails,
saying it can't find the file. If she's local (in the office to where
no
VPN is required) then it works on both laptops.

Anyone seen this? Suggestions?

Thanks.
