Q: unable to map network drives vpn

I have a windows user, that is attempting to connect to a osx network drive. They connect using VPN, which they are able to connect and authenticate against. In addition they are able to ping the server, but when they attempt to map the drive, I keep getting back 'bad username and password'.

I have used the different credentials box, to use the username and password that is listed against the server.

I'm also able to navigate to the servers web page, I just cant map a drive.

I'm able to connect directly over VPN, which authenticates L2PT, once connected I can ping the server, and I receive a DHCP address from the primary router. router = 10.0.1.1, server = 10.0.1.6, my ip 10.0.1.230, 255.255.255.0. The only strange thing that i can see is no gateway is provided in my DHCP

iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.2

    Have you tried from a Command Prompt window the following command

     

    net use z: \\10.0.1.6\ShareName Password * user:UserName

     

    Change the red items with appropriate values that suit your configuration.

    If ShareName contains spaces put quotes around the ComputerName/IP and share name.

     

    "\\10.0.1.6\Share Name"

    Hello

     

    I tried this, and I got the following:

     

     

    H:\>

    H:\>net use x: \\10.0.1.6\Installs

    Enter the user name for '10.0.1.6': bradevery

    Enter the password for 10.0.1.6:

    Enter the user name for '10.0.1.6': bradevery

    Enter the password for 10.0.1.6:

    System error 86 has occurred.

     

    The specified network password is not correct.

     

     

    H:\>

    I don't think in your circumstances is fundamental but, check time synchronization on both ends.

     

    Which OS X Server version are you using and which Windows client is trying to connect to the Mac server?
