Not sure what the all the talk of take out the firewall is about. If it is via VPN, then you must have that open already. If not, it depends on what VPN you are using as to what ports you might need.
After that it is just a matter of having the VPN server properly configured to hand the info to clients needed to see the machines on the network. Easiest is to set up a WINS server for VPN client use. Since it is via VPN you DO NOT have to open any NetBIOS ports or remove any firewall. I'm not sure why anyone would be recommending that.
