I have set up a Linksys BEFVP 41 V2 router with VPNs configured. I can establish a tunnel. I can ping he server. But I cannot map a drive. I am not sure why? Also I can not get Remote Desktop to work outside the local network. I can contact the server and Remote Desktop starts to work, but the login box is corrupted. I have tried changing he display settings etc. But nothing works. Any Ideas ?
find out what device is dropping the packets and open t3389 and the netbios ports

For Remote Desktop I had to port forward a higher port because the isp has a filter on the lower ports. It then is forwarded to port 3389. I think the isp may have something to do with it. The office is located in a large building with a network that supplies IP addresses. It seems to be a public address but it's not. It is static however. I need to know if there is a way to bypass their firewall if that is the problem. Thanks
