    Network mount not connecting

    Hi everyone,
    Just after a bit of help again. I'm running my duo2 on the vix image 5.1.007 at the moment. My issue is that I cannot connect to my pc using a network mount from the box anymore. I lost connection to the pc after updating to win10 and installing a vpn on my router. So my question is does the vpn tunnel stop the network mount connection on my home network to the box?

    Cheers guys

    Cracked it�� Went into network browser and scanned network, found the pic and entered user and p/word. The box created a mount and then I could access my movies folder the normal way. Not sure why it didn't work when I creat my own mount??

    Thanks guys for all you're suggestions and help
