RESOLVED: found out that nas was disable for external IP
Sorry for this newbie question which I think most of you guys would know
I have an office peer-to-peer network (win 7) connected with a QNAP NAS and a RV082 router. There is no proper naming (I don't know how to implement it) so everything is access via IP.
I managed to configure my RV082 to accept VPN connection from home via QuickVPN with cert etc and managed to ping all the running devices in the office, i.e. printers, nas, etc after connected with the office network.
However, when I try to browse the NAS say run "\\192.168.1.5\", it says "The network path was not found". But I could ping the IP just fine but not the name, I prob need to add it into my lmhost.
I'm wondering if any of these has anything to do with my VPN settings? or is it my horrible network setup that is giving me the trouble. I also noticed that if i'm not on the same workgroup, when I try to browse office workgroup from Explorer/ Entire Network it will say "workgroup not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource..................."
Is this more of a Windows than my VPN issue? do I need other protocols besides TCP/IP. I only have client for microsoft network, file sharing and tcp/ip running.
