Yes, I can ping the VPN Host by IP. I can connect to it and everything but I can not view or see any shared resources when I go through the My Network Places > Entire Network > Workgroup. I can see my own computer from both the host and the client but they can not see each other.

I'm trying to set up a vpn server and client. I've got it all setup and
working but when I connect from the client I can not find any of the
resources on the server. The server is running XPpro, client XP, Shared
Folders are setup, firewall disabled, no router. I'm able to login and the
usid and password are accepted.
