I have setup u VPN connection to our Windows 2008 server at the office and it seems to work fine.

For some reason, however, I still am not able to access the network shares over a VPN connection using my standard fstab entries. When I am physically connected to the network, it works fine, but now when trying this over VPN I get the following error:

mount error(110): Connection timed out
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

My /etc/fstab looks like this:

//server2008/share    /mnt/share    cifs    iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/aron/.smbcredentials,uid=1000  0       0

As said, it works fine when physically connected, but over VPN it just wont work.

Any help is appreciated.
