| I dont know weather this is the correct post to ask this question.If not please let me know.
We have a workgroup environment and ard 15 plus branches with Windows XP as OS.
All the branches are connected to our ISP with Cisco 800 series router. Our network admin says we r using MPLS Cloud. I don’t have any knowledge about this. Each branch is having its on subnet id for eg
Ho 172.17.2.*
Branch1 172.17.3.*
Branch2 172.17.4.*
Branch3 172.17.5.*
Subnet mask for all branches is same 255.255.255.0
Our server r located with ISP. I m not able to connect to any remote branch from Head office. When I type \\pcname or the \\Ipaddress I get a error as “No network provider accepted the given network path” Even the windows firewall is off . Though I can ping the remote pc with ease. If I use any third party remote admin software,it works fine. | |

| Check if your ISP is using a firewall and if they have remote access turned off on their end. Alternatively, check all PC's on both ends to be sure that remote access is turned on and that the Windoze firewall is actually off or just suspended. | |

| If you use \\pcname or \\ipaddr to locate yr w/s resource in remote site, you need to open nbname and nbsession in your outgoing firewall. Ask yr ISP if they will block these ports as well.
Another thing is to ensure yr Windows firewall is off as well. If u r deploying VPN amongst yr ofc, hv yr ISP to ensure the abovementioned ports are allowed in the VPN tunnel.
Good luck | |

| If it is the firewall, try allowing port 3389 |
