Can connect to the server using VPN, but cannot pull up the shared drives

I can connect to the server at work using PPTP VPN. I can ssh to the server once I VPN'd in. I cannot, however pull up any of the shared drives using K. It just says that it is connecting, but nothing happens. When I disconnect the VPN, the user name and password box pops up. The only way to get rid of it is to click cancel. Nothing changed on the server since the last time I logged in. Also, when I am VPN'd in, I cannot use the Server Admin or Workgroup Manager. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
P.S. The server is the MacMini and the client is the MacBook, running 10.5.7 software.

This is strange, your setup is the same as mine :P
Anyways, I also have a problem like this.
I connect to VPN fine, but tools that need to access the net seem to take a very long time to open. Its as if my Client Information inside the server isn't being sent to the client correctly.
It takes atleast two minutes after connecting to the VPN for iChat to connect and work again, and tools like Server Admin seem not to work at all.

Can not establish L2TP connection to Mac Server via VPN

Hi,
I am asking for some help on this VPN Problem:
since yesterday I have a new Mac mini Server running OS X 10.9.3 and Server Software 3.1.2 - my goal is to reach some deivces in my home network from outside, mainly with the iPhone or iPad.
Dyn.org
I registered with Dyn.com a hostname using my outside IP Address. Server Type: Host with IP Address and used the IP Address presented to me in the stup wizard. This one is shown as active and when I ping or Lookup the Host Name it is responding - so I think I am fine here.
Mac Mini Server
Next I have setup a user on the server who can use VPN. Next I have setup the VPN service with L2TP, using the Host name von dyn.org, a nice shared secret, IP range 10.0.1.190 to 10.0.1.199, DNS 10.0.1.1, no routs.
I exported this as config file to my iPhone.
The VPN Protocol in the Server says, it is listening for connections.
When I turn on VPN on the iPhone it replies always L2TP-VPN-Server has not answered.
AirPort Extreme
The AirPort Extreme is configured by the Server with Ports 500, 1701, 4500 and the Mac Server 10.0.1.26 as Privat IP Address.
The Internet Tab shows Router and DNS as 192.168.211.1 and IPv4 Address as 192.168.211.109
I actually do not understand why I have a 192.168.xxx.xxx DNS and router entry while I have the Privat Network on 10.0.1.xxx
The Protocol for VPN just says nothing at all, besides that it is listening. I guess something is blocking the connection to the server.
By looking at my above configutation - what am I doing wrong? Why do I get this L2TP-VPN-Server error message? I changed the password for the user to be sure I am not miss spelling it. Did not help.
Any idea?
Thank you for your support!
Regards
Klaus-Martin

According to your IP addresses you listed, you might have two devices that are trying to create a NATed network (one in the 10.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/16 networks). Can you list what devices you have between your server and the Internet?
I'm going to take a guess that you have a router/modem prodived by your ISP, and this is going to give you a 192.168.211.0/24 network (since it set up as a router to provide its own network). You then plugged an Airport into this router and configured it to set up its own wireless network on its own subnet (10.0.1.0/24). The server is on this network, sees the Airport (and lets you configure it). So while your hostname points to your external address (which is good), it's just that external address is the WAN side of the modem/router and not the Airport. I think your network is set up like this: Internet --> ISP modem --> Airport --> Server. If this is the case, you need to set up the ISP modem/router to port forward L2TP ports to your Airport (which in turn, port forward to your server). Or you could set your ISP modem/router into bridge mode and have the Airport dial the connection to the ISP (more complicated).
Have you tried VPN from the local network, say put the phone on wifi and make sure that works? This would be a quick test to make sure the phone and server are set up properly.
Also, have you tried port scanning your host from a computer outside your network, like from an iPhone on celluar? That would help you determine if you have routing configured properly for the L2TP VPN ports.

turn your ipad off by holding the sleep wake button for 5 seconds and slide to turn off then turn it back on and the apps should be finished and if the apps didnt finish just redownload them

The only way you will be able to track that iPod is if it is turned on and connected to a wifi network by the person that has it.

Upgraded to Yosemite - can't connect to windows Server using afp

I have upgraded to Yosemite from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and now cannot connect to a windows merit used to connect to before. I previously used the afp protocol.
I get the message "The version server you are trying to connect to is not supported".
Is afp still supported with yosemite?
Do i need them to upgrade the server software?
It connects using smb, but does not display the same folders.
Thanks in advance, am a bit lost here

I am providing mac support for a group of mac users who make up the art department in a larger multinational company. As is often usual in these situations the larger PC IT department are incredibly unhelpful.
But I have just come online and had no part in the set up. The servers are overseas and managed by them. I have no idea why the used afp as the protocol. I just know it has worked this way for years.
The macs need to upgrade to go on to creative cloud.
I think he way forward is for them to change the access on the server to allow access using smb.
It is just difficult to deal with them because they aren't here tend to say "we dont support macs" when I contact them.

I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

iOS 4.3.3 doesnt have the "Update your Software" tab so you will need to go to itunes and back up your iphone then restore your iphone and it will download the latest iphone software (6.1.4) if you dont want 6.1.4 download your current version and hit shift on your keyboard (alt if your on Mac I think) and click restore iphone and find your downloaded software 4.3.3 then download iOS 5 or 6 and do the samething after your phone boots up from restoring it to 4.3.3.
