Local network shares not accessible after VPN'ing

My XP clients cannot access local network shares after connecting to another
network via VPN.

I'm running Windows 2000 server and have 4 client PC's on a local network.
The server provides addresses via DHCP to the clients.

Two of the clients are XP; two are W2K.

If I VPN from XP to another network, I can no longer access the local
network shares on the W2K server.
However, if I VPN using the W2K clients, I can browse the local shares.

One of the XP clients is hardwired.
I add a wireless card to this client; tried different configurations
including assigning a fixed IP and still cannot browse the local shares when
it's connected to another network via VPN.

Computer browsing is set up on all machines.
I've disabled firewall filters on the one XP client.
Client policy is about as loose as it can get it.
I can even ping the W2K server from XP when VPN'ing.

How can I get the XP clients modeled on the W2K clients?

Also, does Vista overcome this problem?

I just purchased Vista, but not I'm not sure if I should install it if the
problem is going to worsen.

Thanks for your reply.
