Cant Get Shared Folders to Work
Posted: Fri Nov 14, 2025 1:19 am
Hello guys, long time user, first time poster.
I recently upgraded servers decided to spin up a new Virtualbox, rather than transfer. I followed all the instructions I left myself before and now on the new vpn server I get a valid IP, but can not see anything other than the server. Here is some precursory info:
Server: windows server 2019 host os with softether on windows 11 on virtualbox with a bridged network connection
IP:192.168.10.3
Connection:
Using ddns, not securenat
Firewall ports 500, 4500, and the listener port I chose are pointing to the new server vm, not the old one.
Client: standard windows 11 pro workstation
IP 10.1.10.64
When I click connect form the client I see the connected status and I am given a valid IP within the range for the Server IP range, but I can not seem to connect to any shared folders on the network of the server.
When I ping the VPN server it says that the connection is good via ping statistics, showing normal response times, but when I ping the IP of the device with the share folder I get a destination host unreachable error.
