Hi, I built a windows server 2012 R2 with the intention of remotely connecting into it. I got the server up and running, however I am having issue seeing the server under the network tab when I remotely access into it. I set up remote access on the server side, and set up a windows built in VPN on the client side. The VPN connects even through my WAN link, and I'm able to ping the servers ip address,, however I have no such luck accessing the server and any other shared files on it. I am currently using PTPP, but I plan on implementing a more secure connection once I get this to work. I am sharing my files through an SMB file sharing service. I have opened ports 1723, 135-139, and 445 on my router. I am also able to access my server and the shared files on my LAN link when I disable my anitvirus firewall, however that doesn't help when I'm connected remotely through my WAN link. I didn't set up a DHCP or DNS service on my server, I just gave my server and my vpn clients a static ip address. If anyone has any ideas on what might be wrong your help would be greatly appreciated!
