Good day all,
We' re trying to connect a remote office to the main office to view file shares and run a piece of software at the remote office using the database at the main office. Nothing complex... at least that I can see.
The main office has a Fortigate appliance. The remote office has the Forticlient app installed.
The remote office comptuer can connect to the vpn. It can ping the IP of the " server" computer in the main office once connected.
The remote computer cannot " see" the file shares on the main office " server" computer however.
I' m trying to access them by opening the " server" computer' s IP\shared folder name (i.e. \\192.168.1.108\shared). Am I doing that correctly?
The shared folder in the main office is shared across that local network with 9 workstations, so file sharing is set up and working and being accessed properly there...
What am I doing wrong?
Oh, and here' s the kicker... Charter Internet has control of the Fortigate. I do not have access to the configuration of the appliance at all. They have assured me that the Fortigate is set up properly (however, it wasn' t to start with, because initially the remote office computer didn' t have access to the internet when the vpn was connected, until they rebuilt the vpl file). Any help for me? I' ve got to get these two offices connected, like last week!
Regards,
