If you are getting messages to the effect it can't find the server, then you might be having DNS issues when on the VPN. Some larger companies modify the VPN clients they get from the vendor, so if you're trying to access with a plain vanilla Mac version and they have modified the PC version this probably isn't going to work. I can't help you with why the VPN connection may be dropping. When I connect my MBP at work (ethernet) everything works fine. I can't browse the server because "connect to server" doesn't see anything. I am able to ping the destination IP address that Apani gives me. Perhaps I'm setting this up wrong? I get an error code -36 (can't complete this operation because some data in "afp://smb\\xxxx-fs02" could not be read or written. I did notice that "connect to server" automatically defaults to afp://smb:\\xxxx-fs02. All of this works with the PC, but I can't set up my MBP to do it. I could use smb:\\xxxx-fs02\Vol3 to get to a specific drive, but it shouldn't matter. I try to "connect to server" using smb:\\xxxxx-fs02 where xxxx-fs02 is the server. ![]() When I use the PC, I simply connect via VPN and access our network drives (which are mapped). I normally use my work-provided laptop to work from home. ![]() ![]() I have obtained the proper security settings and I am able to establish a successful connection.
