VPN Setup Help!!

[PJOBrent]

Hello All,

I am new to the field and brand new to networking. We currently have a VPN FVS318G Router. I went through the VPN Wizard, and set everything up. I also set up an vpn client account. I am trying to use Shrew Soft Access Manager, but have also downloaded the free trial of the netgear client software. In Shrew Soft, I set everything up and it opens the tunnel, but I cannot see any of the mapped drives or ping any of the network computers. I get a similar issue when using the netgear software.

My question is if the tunnel is open aren't the settings right and shouldn't the network resources be available?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!
