|Seems like a common "broadcast doesn't work over anything but a local
|subnet" problem.  So, I ask this:  are you using WINS?  Nevermind...I
|answered my own question.  Your options file should contain "ms-wins
|xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", pointing to a WINS server.  If you don't have a WINS
|server, use Samba to set one up (real simple).  Most (some)times this works
|fine, browsing works.  At other times, browsing may not work, but using UNC
|paths will work.  Never have figured that one out.

Well thank you.

This forced me to go back and change the options file. I pointed the ms-wins
entry to the PDC (which is set up as a WINS server)...

After doing what you recommended I then manually loaded ip_gre and
ip_masq_pptp restarted pptpd and wham I can map to the remote shares...

The logs indicate an ip_demasq_gre module... since I don't have any such
animal I assume that this is the ip_gre module at work...

Heh, not that this is even mentioned in the HOWTO's...

However I'm still totally unable to browse the shares...
