VPN through XP Pro

[Guest]

I set up a router as a VPN endpoint and I could not get my other router to
connect as a tunnel. So I tried just setting up a remote connection through
XP itself with the remote router.

So, my local ip is 192.168.2.x and the remote range is 192.168.1.x

When connected, I can ping all ips on both networks. I can utilize software
that connects to other networked computers based on ip... my quetion is. How
can I connect via network neighborhood? How can I see the remote network
computers in my network so I can share files...
