I think the instructions at http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetworkBrowsing.html#DMB will solve your problem - I assume you are not using a domain? Anyway, set your VPN server up to be the domain master browser and you should be laughing. If you are using a VPN configuration interface that lets you hand out options as well as addresses, you might consider running a WINS server as well.
