I have setup a VPN successfully so my friend can VPN into my computer,
works fine, he sees my local drives.



My question is: how can make it so he can see the other 3 computers on
my LAN?
 
Presuming you have file and print sharing setup on the other PCs he can use
the form \\IP.Address\ShareName or \\ComputerName\ShareName to access the
other PCs. He might want to use a lmhosts file that maps the computer name
to the IP name.

Here is an example lmhosts file...

He should be able to ping the PCs by IP at a minimum and by name if the
lmhosts file is setup correctly.
