In my office I have set up a NAS server which is connected to a Netgear VPN router. When I try to connect remotely I can open the VPN tunnel but when I try to access the network drive, it says the network path cannot be found. Please can somebody advise how I can resolve this issue?

There are two kinds of vpn routers. One that has a vpn client which authenicates to the vpn router and one that is vpn passthrough which means you need a vpn server on the other side.

Which are you doing?

When you do the vpn do you get a office ip address?

When you say you are accessing via network drive do you mean drive letter?
Have you tried \\nasname\sharename?

I do have VPN client software.

I have mapped the network drive as \\192.168.0.2

I have managed to connect to this network drive in the office (through the LAN) but without directly connecting to the VPN router.

I noticed when I logged into the VPN router at home I could see the connection and the IP address was 192.168.0.4 - I was connecting through a Netgear wireless router - would this have something to do with the problem I am having?

Thanks

Great so you are getting a local to the lan ip address.

Usually a mapping is in the form \\ipaddress\sharename

if you know the administrator account password you could do \\ipaddress\c$ which is the admin share

if you have issues with that first start with ping 192.168.0.2 when you are vpned in
