Two monkeys have escaped from a zoo and have attempted to create a VPN between a client running Windows XP and a "Server" running windows 2000 Professional.
They've managed to establish the connection by running the VPN wizard on both machines.
The VPN is present in Network Connections on the server pc.
Both PC's obtained 169 ip address.
No shared files were available to the client.
No computers were showing up in Network Places on the "server "pc (w2kpro)
How do they make the files on the server accessible/visible to the VPN client (xp).
Any ideas welcome as they're going bananas!!!
