Ok, I'm using Symantec VPN Client and I can successfully open a tunnel to
the vpn gateway. I can ping hosts behind the firewall and all that. The
problem is, when I go to browse the network it is very unreliable.
Sometimes I can see all the computers, and can browse to our server (running
sbs 2003). But I have yet to be able to access any of the server shares
even though I do log in.

So, is this possible at all? To be able to run applications, file sharing,
network browsing using a VPN gateway and a firewall? And second, if it is,
what could be the issue preventing me from doing that? Again, the VPN
connection is established and works. It just seems to be an issue with the
windows components. And yes, I have tried it with the File/Print sharing
stuff checked and the firewall is not blocking any of the netbios stuff.
Any help would be much appreciated.
