Cannot access VPN resources

[Guest]

I set up a VPN server(over ADSL Line) at home tested it using a PC
connecting over a different phone line, with the LAN adapter disabled so as
to simulate a client connecting from the internet. All seemed o.k. and I was
able to see all the shared resources on the server and to access the LAN
intranet.

However when I tested this from work I was able to connect to the VPN server
without a problem, but I cannot access the VPN resources.

I must point out, in case it makes any difference, that at work I am
obviously connecting from behind a firewall/router.

Please help!

The firewall should not have anything to do with it. Once you are
connected, all VPN traffic is encypted and encapsulated, so the firewall
doesn't see it. If the firewall is affecting you, the traffic is not using
the VPN link.
