I have been able to install network printers from each office across the tunnel, but Windows 10 pc's don't seem to browse and see other PC's as freely. Nearly all PC's in each office are connected wirelessly. They are a combination of Windows 7 Pro, Windows 8 Pro and Windows 10 Pro. I've turned on Network Discovery on all machines, confirmed that the shared folders require no authentication - even a guest account should work. I've toggled off the firewall on 2 PC's to see if there was anything there preventing it - so far its been very difficult. Just browsing the network "Office B" PC's don't show up from "Office A" and vice versa. My next stp is going ot be to try mapping dives using \\IP.Add.r.ess\filesharename and see if it creates a mapped drive. The remote office is 50 miles away and I can only work on this issue after hours. I will appreciate all suggestions.

That is likely is the only way you are going to get it to work...using the ip addresses. When you are in the lan of one of the office the reason it works is the machine is sending out broadcasts looking for the other machines. To avoid network issues these broadcast are not sent outside the local lan. Think about a huge company that had thousand of pc world wide how bad it would be.
This is also why most companies opt for a central server that all user place their shared data on. Makes life much easier especially when ip addresses change on the end machines from time to time.
