have to both be a part of the same workgroup and you have to setup permissions on shared folders

Both boxes are in the same work group. and the appropriate permissions are given to the user connecting in.

VPN's typically use pptp, and pptp will not show pings. As far as not seeing the machines, perhaps the protocol is not enabled in the remote access services.

I have the same poroblem only I can ping the other pc's by ip address but can not see them or any shares on the network. Did you get your question answered?
