Hi I have been trying with no success to be able to view my friends computer in the my network connections using a vpn connection. We are both running XP Professional and both have setup up a vpn server and client. We are able to connect to each other and see the connection in the system tray. I have also tried mapping one of his shares using his ip address and share name. I am not sure what I could be missing. Could it be with the ipx protocal.

if you are using NTFS permissions you have to create an account for your friend on your computer and give permission to access your resources, like wise he has to create an account for you on his and give permission to access resources on his computer

When you use the IP address to map to his computer does it work?

If it does then you have a name resolution problem.

Go into your network card properties>tcp/ip>advanced>wins>enable NetBios over TCP/IP
