We can help but if you are trying to connect to you system at work I think its better to ask your system administrator how to do this as they might have different requirements or not want you do do it.

I am the system administrator... well im trying... trying to set this up I get the computers to connect either one as client/host but other than them showing that they are connected via icon in network connections, nothing else comes up... I can't search for the computer or access files/folders/share

Can open a share directly? ie.

Start>Run: \\server\share

If that works, you probably have a browsing issue. I don't remember off the top of my head whether a windows network allows browsing over a VPN connection or if it's an option not enabled by default.
heh God forbid a VPN user on a 56k link has their system elected as Master Browser
