[pptp-server] ** VPN Problem, Can't access other computer sha res on remote network. **

[Steve Cody]

Do you have a WINS server IP address specified at the home computer?  Try
accessing one of the computers resources by doing this:
 
Click:  START, RUN, enter \\192.168.0.x <file://\\192.168.0.x>   (enter the
address of a computer with resources that are shared)
 
If you can access it this way, then you probably need to specify a WINS
server in the configuration of the home computer.

Im having a problem with my VPN, I am wondering if anyone could tell me how
to fix it and or give me examples on fixing it. I am using PPTPD 1.1.1 and
Samba 2.06 as my WINS Server at work. Each of the workstations are running
Win98 Second Edition. I have a lan with 10 computers
[192.168.0.2-192.168-0.10] plus my gateway server box sharing internet to
all the other computers [eth0, is my cableip and eth1 is 192.168.0.1]. My
gateway server is a DHCP Server[Giving out the 192.168.0.2-10 ip numbers to
the workstations] and all the workstations have point to my samba server as
the WINS server. Each computer on the network can see each other and get
into each others shares. This is good but thats not the problem im having. I
am at home and connect to my gateway server with my VPN connection. I set
pptpd to give me an ip of 192.168.0.250 so that I am still within the same
subnet. I can ping the remote computers [192.168.0.2-10] and even a remote
WINS/gateway server [192.168.0.1]. I can see the computers in network
neighborhood on my work lan but heres what im having problems with. If I
click on the Gateway server name in network neighborhood, I can get it but
if I click on one of the remote computers, It keeps saying " \\Workstation
<file://\\Workstation>  is not accessible. The computer or sharename could
not be found. Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again". I click on
another computer and it gives me the same error? Why can I access the
wins/gateway computer but I can't access any of the computers on the lan?
Any *help* on fixing this would be EXTREMELY appreciated.
