[ActiveDir] Windows 2000 VPN

[Richard Sumilang]

Ok heres the deal. I set up Microsoft's VPN Service with the wizard 
provided when going to the Routing and Remote Access program. I thought 
just following that and testing that the client connects fine is all I 
needed to do. I set the router to forward all data coming from port 
1723 to the server also. I just got home, start up my personal computer 
running Windows 2000 and create a VPN connection to the office and it 
connected and authenticated my user information fine.

Now heres the problem, I thought when I VPN into a network it is like 
actually physically being their with your computer so thus I should be 
able to ping and connect to shared files on the network but I cant? I 
don't see anything?!?!?!?! All I get is this little monitor connection 
sitting in my system tray saying that I am connected. I also thought it 
would be interesting to check the IP I am when I go to the internet and 
it gave the office's IP http://www.whatismyip.com/ and my internet IP 
when I disconnect so thus I know something is working.

Can anyone help me with this problem? I want to be able see all the 
computers on the network, ping them, and access shares.

Thanks
