View Shares on VPN Client

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

For that to work there has to be two rules , the office has to have
tunnel access to the client and the client has to have tunnel access
to the host (VPN server or router). An LMHOST entry pointing to the
domain controller's IP if it's a domain and the WINS server up and
running and entered in the clients configuration so the printer share
will update in the WINS database when the client logs in. A more
detailed process will take a more specific hardware and software
scenario but this is the basic setup. Make sure to enable file and
print sharing as well and allow it to pass through the XP firewall.
