I work at a major educational institution where we are trying to map Windows shares on Android devices. We have a closed network, and are therefore using a VPN connection, so wether one is using our wifi network or 3/4G is irrelevant.
The VPN connects without problems, but we have huge problems when it comes to connecting to the shares.
I have mainly tried to use ES File Explorer and Astro SMB to connect to the shares but without luck. ES says there is a connection error while Astro says it can't find the server.
I have tried anything I can think of. I write the internal IP-adress, I have tried with and without the domain (full lenght adress and short internal adress) and with and without login informations although I'm already logged on through the VPN. We use a Windows 2000 server.
Does anyone have any good suggestions to what to do? Is there some special server settings that need to be changed for Android devices?
