I'm trying to help my sister set up a VPN connection from her work to home
for file access. In doing so, I'm trying to connect my computer to hers
first so I can figure out how to do this.
I have successfully set up the VPN connection on both machines, I can log in
and connect to her computer.
However, once connected, I cannot figure out how to access the shared
folders on her machine. I have a system tray icon that shows a good
connection, with bytes being transferred back and forth, but I cannot see her
machine in My Network Places, Explore, or anywhere else. I've tried the UNC
path in RUN, and tried her IP address in Internet Explorer.
Where do I need to look to be able to actually see her computer?
Hers is XP Home, mine is XP Pro.
Thanks,
Jeff
