I have 2 computers in different locations (citites), each connected to the
internet with DSL. I want to connect from one to the other and share files.
I have set up VPN using windows XP home (runs on both), and I can connect
successfully with the VPN connection. Then I get stuck. I cannot see the
computer I connect to in network places or get to the shares I set up on it.
Help!

Have you tried using the UNC?

\\PCName\Share
