Define "see".

VPN doesn't provide "naming" nor does it provide "network browing" (Net
Neighborhood). Naming must be provided either via WINS or LMHosts files.

Network "browsing" is provided by Master Browsers that maintain a "browse
list" and is very difficult to get working over a slow VPN Link,...it was
designed for LAN speeds not slow link speeds. It isn't worth fighting with.

That is normal and correct,..don't bother it.
