I am trying to setup an incoming dial up connection to a pc in a remote
location and the only way of connecting to it is via a phone line (no
broadband)

The remote PC is running Vista Business, and i am connecting with an XP
laptop.
I can dialup, establish a connection and get an IP address from the vista
pc, however i can't browse to the shares on the vista pc for some reason.

I have tried switching off the firewall and still can't connect to the vista
pc, or even browse the network for it.

Anyone out there got any ideas?
 
Do a simple test. If turn off the firewall, can you ping by IP?
