can anyone point me in the direction of a website or
knowledge base artical that can help me diagnose a VPN
problem? The problem is I can connect to the remote
machine via VPN but am unabel to connect to any resources
there. Sharing is turned on on the resources needed but
when I try to map a drive it seems to hang up and will
time out. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you able to ping computers on the remote site (by IP and by Name)?

If so then there is nothing technically wrong with the tunnel but next steps
would be determining if 1) is sharing enabled on the remote station and if
so then 2) there may be a router on either side of the tunnel which is
potentially blocking file sharing ports.

Please turn on RAS logging and if you have netmon you can also use that to
see what errors are happening and whats occuring accross the wire.
