I set up an VPN connection on my 2008 server using RRAS. The VPN seems to work fine. I can connect from outside the network. I am also able to establish a remote access connection via the VPN-IP. However, I can't access my shared folders. After connecting to the VPN I can ping the server, but it is not shown in my networks. using \ip or \server-name doesn't work either, cannot be found.

I checked ipconfig and this is what I found regarding the VPN:

DNS-Suffix:
Description: test
Physical Adress:
DHCP activated: No
Auto-Config: Yes
IPv4-Adress: 192.168.2.114
Sub: 255.255.255.255
Standard-gateway:
DNS-Server: 192.168.0.1
NetBIOS: activated

To clarify my IP-situation: server is connected to router with 192.168.0.x, the test-client is in an external network connected to a router with 192.168.1.x, server-client connection is using static ips with 192.168.2.x

Can anyone help me with this one? The VPN should be ok since I am able to establish remote access.
