Winxp VPN server/client problems

[r0d.usenet]

Using microsoft's built in vpn server and vpn client
set up:
comp 1 win xp professional service pack 2 : server
comp 1 has access to home network .
comp 2 win xp home service pack 2 : client

When windows firewall is off on both machines VPN connection works
perfectly and I have access to home network.
When I turn firewall on in client computer the VPN connection works,
but I am unable to browse the shared folders in the network and even
in comp1. The firewall is blocking something. I have already put in
exceptions for port 1723, 47. But still no lock... When I look at
firewall log I this is what I see..

I am not sure why it is dropping udp packets on port 137?????

If any one can help me out, I would really really appreciate it. MY
goal is to have vpn working with windows firewall on on server
computer and client computer... I searched all over the place for a
solution with no luck so Now I ask you guys .

Thanks,

Hi,
Best if you post your query here and please provide more info about the
hardware involved in the connection, like Router/modem/switch, did you enable
file and print sharing, assign the VPN access in the firewall.etc to here
