I have got two computers.

Thery are both XP pro. I have got a connection up and running beteen the
both of them, but that is is, i can not see or ping then?

This is a PPTP VPN XP host and a XP client?

Is the firewall configured to allow pings on the server PC?

You are using a different subnet on the server PC LAN than the remote client, right? Meaning the server LAN is running 192.168.1.X for example while the client is connecting from a LAN using 192.168.10.X for example. The subnets should not be the same.

You may not be able to see or browse PCs in Network Neighborhood since your not running a WINS server on the XP server PC. You could use a lmhosts file on the client to map addresses to the name then you could use the UNC...

Example...

\\PCName\ShareName

Here is an example lmhosts file...
