Hi,
This is my situation:
Home network with a couple of win 7 pc's. I set up softether server on 1 of them. I enabled NAT and DHCP in softether server manager. In the home network, all pc's show up in the network list and I can access shared folders.
I installed softether client on a win 7 pc in another house. I can succesfully make a connection from softether client to server.
But when I refresh the network locations, the home network does not show. I can not find the shared folders..
Any idea?
Thanks
No network directories?

Re: No network directories?
I think it is because you are now in a different subnet after connecting via VPN. So the other PCs are not anymore 'local' to you.
Example: your router IP is 192.168.0.0/24, then you are able to reach all PCs in 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254
After connecting to VPN, you get allocated a different IP, say from the pool: 192.168.30.0/24.
If you want to reach the internal network, you need to use a bridge instead if SecureNAT and allow your VPN client to use the network interface (i.e. to access the internal network)

Yes!
I forgot to switch the local bridge on.
Thank you,
This is resolved.
