Hi all. I think I have a quick question.

I can connect successfully via VPN and browse the server I am connecting to.
However, we have several shares on other PCs within our private network, but
the VPN connection is not allowing me to connect to any other PC than the one
I am connected to.

Thoughts?
 
What do you mean exactly by "not allowing"? What sort of error do you
get? Is it a routing problem, a name resolution problem or a permissiond
problem?

VPN connections are just IP connections. You do not automatically get
things like name resolution or browsing as you do for a LAN connection. They
depend on LAN broadcasts which don't work on WAN connections.
 
The use of WINS should fix your problem. Also verify port 47-48 are not
blocked, this is also know to cause issues.
