cannot share files after connecting

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.vpn (More info?)

I can connect a VPN connection between two computers at different
locations; however, I cannot map a network drive or access any files
on the computers.

I'm connecting via two Linksys routers.

One computer is running W2k Pro the other Win 98 SE.

Both computers are named to the same workgroup, and both have file
sharing selected.

In your router config, make sure you have your WAN/public IP address
forwarded to an IP address on your LAN (192.168.x.x usually). Not
familiar with Linksys but D-link requires a Virtual server entry setup
for PPTP and designates a Private IP address to your specific LAN
computer that the router forwards the pptp request to.
