Question
Dear Sir

My official network has got workgroup ARAF.COM

I’m out of office now.

I use mail Server in Linux 4.0 where VPN Server is also configured i.e. I can log in VPN Server through Internet connection.

My query is, if I set workgroup as ARAF.COM in the Laptop at present place (where I’m now available) & if I get VPN connection through Internet connection, can I see & browse my official network i.e. browse my user’s PC by following below steps which I usually do when I’m available within my official network?

“My Network Places”-”Entire Network”-”View Workgroup computers”

Appreciate, if you would come back soon.

Regards
Pervez

Answer
Hello,

Once you are connected to the office network through the VPN, you get an IP address assigned which belongs to that office network range. Thus you can browse all the network as you would in office, permitting that your ID has the right permissions.
