Browsing is unlikely to work with a VPN connection. The browser service uses broadcasts, and these don't cross routers or WAN links. Even if WINS is running on the LAN and the remote client gets the correct WINS address, browsing usually fails. This is because the remote client usually isn't a domain member so doesn't know what name to use for the master browser.
You should be able to use DNS for name resolution. Can you resolve a server on the LAN using the FQDN? If not, check that the remote client is receiving the correct DNS address at connection time.
If you can resolve by FQDN, adding the correct domain suffix to the client's connection properties should let you resolve names using just the server name.
The server firewall settings should have no effect on remote clients. When the packet goes through the firewall it is still encapsulated and encrypted. All the firewall sees is the PPTP or IPSec header.

Hi...what is the magic to getting a VPN client to have access to (map
a drive) to a shared folder on Windows Server 2008? I can't seem to
figure out what configuration settings I need on the server to
accomplish this. I just want the VPN client to be able to map a drive
to a shared folder once that client is authenticated and connected to
the server via VPN. Thanks a bunch for your help!
