2) How does your home computer get it's IP address on the VPN interface?
??? I configured the office's incoming connection to fixed IP

So you are allowing your home computer to specify its PPP IP address? Are you sure there are no conflicts? Your home LAN is on the 192.168.1 network and your PPP connection has an IP address on the 192.168.168 network, so as long as 192.168.168 is the correct subnet for your work LAN, that part should be ok.

3) Where is the share located (on the W2K computer that is the VPN
server or on another computer on the work LAN)?

on the VPN server ie. my computer in the office

4) How are you trying to access the share (by computer name, IP Address,
Browser)?

by \\computername\sharedfoldername

This is likely your problem. \\computername is a netbios name and unless you have a WINS server running at work and specified in your home computer's PPP settings (which is not the case according to your ipconfig), you won't be able to resolve the name (PPTP connections are routed, NetBIOS queries are broadcast, and broadcasts do not pass over a routed connection). Try using the IP address of your computer at work (\\ip-address\sharename). If you really need to use the name, you could make an entry in your home computers LMHOSTS file that points the name to the ip address of your server at work.



5) What error do you get when your attempt fails?

no permissions

If you are using the same account credentials to authenticate the VPN that you use as your regular account at work, there shouldn't be any permissions issues. Likely this is the extremely helpful "you may not have the necessary permissions..." message. The key word there is "may". Just be sure your account at work has dial-in permissions and that you are using that account to authenticate over the VPN. Just to be sure, you could create an account on the work computer that matches your home logon and be sure that account has permissions to the share.

Also, be sure you are setting both the share permissions and the NTFS permissions (on the security tab).
