Connect

If the VPN doesn’t work The cause may be missing routing routes. Solution:

  1. Open Command Prompt as administrator.
  2. Type powershell and press Enter.
  3. Run the following two commands:
Add-VpnConnectionRoute -ConnectionName "PJATK VPN" -DestinationPrefix "10.0.0.0/8"
Add-VpnConnectionRoute -ConnectionName "PJATK VPN" -DestinationPrefix "172.16.0.0/12"

Note: the -ConnectionName value must match the name of your VPN connection. If you named it something other than PJATK VPN, replace the name in the commands.

Network Drives

If automatic mapping fails, map drives manually using these paths:

Drive Z (Personal)
\\win-zet.pjwstk.edu.pl\Users\LOGIN
Drive P (Public)
\\win-zet.pjwstk.edu.pl\public
Web Folder
\\www.pjwstk.edu.pl\LOGIN

Replace LOGIN with your student username.
