Windows XP To XP VPN "workgroup"

[Guest]

Hi,
Thanks in advance for your help. I have a xp workgroup network at work named
office. Ip addresses 192.168.2.x. I have forwarded by port 1723 on linksys
router to my xp server that has file and print shares 192.168.2.2. I have
setup this XP server to accept incoming connections per xp vpn server
instructions.

My home xp workgroup network named home. Ip adresses 192.168.0.x. I have
setup one xp pc per client xp vpn instructions.
The VPN connects. I get a get a new icon in system tray for vpn connection.
Everything looks fine. Issued IP address to this connection ex 192.168.2.107.

Problem is when I go to Network Places and look at workgroups. I do not see
office lan only home pc's.

Any idea's
Thanks
Dexter
