Please log in for more thread options We've bought a router and client software all by Netgear. It handles our 12 node peer to peer LAN great and I can even get it to "connect" and ping from home with the client software, but it shows "nothing" in the explorer. No C drive no folders no nothing. I checked and all of our nodes at work have at least 5 folders that are shared, but nothing shows. I've asked Netgear but they don't know why we are having this problem. Is VPN still a long way from being a reality in most cases? | |||||||||||||
