Mapping a drive to a folder located in a Virtual Dedicated Windows Server 2008 R2

hello all, have virtual private server running w2k8 r2 (or virtual dedicated server) , have folder established share particular group, need map drive letter on local machine (client) particular share, 've tried following guide even it's bit outdated think right way go, because message <my-server> active not responding port 445, i've checked firewall security both inbound , outbound connections specificly these 2 rules:

• file , printer sharing (smb-in)   | domain | public | private
• file , printer sharing (smb-out) | domain | public 

i think might need set network domain, i'm not sure can provide guidance?

don't want sound picky, these methods no-nos,as application explicitly indicates must mapped drive letter.

• remote desktop connection.
• virtual private network.
• ftp site.
• webdav (not sure though...).

any appreciated.

hi,

we need confirm exact meaning of "virtual private server" here. local virtual machine? whether clients can access shared folders before trying map it?

if not same site clients, may not able job.
