Hi,

I have an IPSEC VPN set up on our Fortigate 100F to access our LAN.  When connected I can ping all computers and resolve their names, I can use UNC paths to access servers yet I can't browse the network in Windows Explorer (Shows only my computer).  I thought it might be the VPN DNS Suffix so I made sure to set it.  I'm not sure what could be causing it. Thanks for your help.

    Hi, Try or check if netbios Port 445 is opened.

     

    Thanks

    I must be doing something wrong.  I have a policy that allows VPN to Local LAN on everything from everything already so I added a port forward (no nat) from 192.168.3.0 (my vpn) to 192.168.0.12 (AD/DNS Server) on port 445 and still nothing. 

     

    The Ideal situation would be for the VPN (192.168.3.0/24) to be able to access everything on the LAN (192.168.0.0/24) but I haven't gotten it working. Thanks.
