You're right - I already have connectivity and it must be through the VPN
(typing "\\192.168.16.2" in the 'Run' window brings up the network shares of
that machine after I provide login info) Can I presume my VPN tunnel is
providing the routing function? Guess my next step is to create the
necessary WINS and/or DNS entries.
