Can connect to VPN but no file or drive access

I am new to networking and need some help. I have setup a VPN Server
on Windows Server 2003 and have successfully connected to it from a
remote PC running Windows XP Professional. I am also able to use the
internet connection of the remote site (tracert). However, once
connected I am
unable to access any of the remote network resources (other than
internet) and am unable to ping any of the network pc's on the LAN. It
appears that
an IP address is being assigned correctly:

ipconfig /all (excerpt)


PPP adapter BSM (Server 3):


Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-53-45-00-00-00
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.221
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.221
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1


I have played with changing the DNS/WINS servers to be consistent with
the remote network as well but to no avail.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you ping the VPN server PPTP IP? to find out the server PPTP ip, use ipconfig command.

Robert, thanks for your reply.

I am back at the office. I will check a bit later when I return home
and reply.

In the meantime to make sure I am pinging the correct server, when I
click on details of my connection I get a buch of information. One
piece is the Server IP Address. Is that what you are talking about?

I can not ping the server. Request timed out is the response.
