Browsing = netBIOS, and NetBIOS isn't routable. Browsing across a routed
connection means either using WINS (set the WINS server IP in your VPN
client config) or, more primitively, using LMHOSTs.

Neither of these is perfect and you may not always be able to browse. Do you
really need to? Using a login script/batch file to map drives is easy
enough....so is typing \\server\share in an address bar.

You mention a workgroup - why is there a workgroup on your company network?
