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.
