I'm trying to map a linux shared folder from Windows Server 2012 R2 but always getting error "the network name cannot be found". I am able to do the same without any issue from my local which is Windows10. I tried to run dos command pushd but that gave error "the request is not supported". If I try net use dos command that gave error "System error 67 has occurred. The network name cannot be found". Please can someone advise what could be the issue? I have tried running the commands by ip and host name and also I can ping the linux server. I can map other windows shared folders.
Please can you advise?

2020-08-06T19:32:35.57+00:00 Hi,
Sorry for my late reply. I thought I will get notification if anyone replies but No.
May be I was wrong initially when I said its a linux share. From my local when checked the properties of the shared folder I see its Windows Server. You can see when I connect remotely to the Windows Server and try to map the same shared folder, it gives the error.
Also I want to add 1 more info that I'm using a VPN on my local. Not sure if that has anything to do because the remote server where I'm not able to connect that is in my office network.
