Can no longer connect to printer on Win2003 server from XP.
I've been printing to a printer shared off of a Windows 2003 Small
Business Server on my home network. I installed OpenVPN (vpn server) on the server and now none of the XP Pro clients on my network can connect to it. If I try to add printer, connect to it by browsing to the server, or otherwise access it I get the following error: "Operation could not be completed. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server." Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, -Ben |

Does Open VPN host a firewall? If yes make sure the netbios ports are open
