I am trying to establish a VPN connection to a server in my office from my laptop at home.
I tried some of the steps as mentioned here:
- Connect to a network
- Connect to a workplace
- Use my Internet Connection (VPN)
- Then type server IP address and then my username & password.
After creating a VPN connection, I can see I am connected to it. Now I want to browse files on the server. But I have no clue where I should look for them.
I was thinking more of a simple step, like, Windows Run > Type ip address > \\124.345.678.900
, then a prompt asking username and password, and finally a window opens to view the files.
I tried to google it, but still unable to view files.
Please help.
Update:
I didn't mention that when I try to connect to server via \\124.345.678.900
I get 0x80070043
error message.

Can you ping to one of the internal IP addresses that you know?
Typically a network-share is not allowed without domain-login.
Sometimes VPN access is differently access-controlled compared to the internal network.
