i had setup a LAN in my branch office with RRAS in Win2008, my VPN client is
XP and i able to connect to RRAS without problem, can ping all the servers
(win2003 and 2008) by IP, but i not able to access the server share folders
or can't even remote desktop to the server with the internal IP address.

any help?

Are you able to ping the serves by name instead of IP? This will test whether
name resolution is working? If not you need to make sure the option to allow
netbios name resolution across the vpn is ticked or edit the hosts file on
the client machine with the relevant servers and tgeir ip's or configure the
clients to use a dns server on the LAN. Hope that helps.
James.

yes, i could, with FQDN. but not able to access the share folder. Netbios
over TCP/IP at the client side was enabled.

I did not have the similar problem on another branch where all servers
running in win2003, the problem branch, the RRAS are installed in win2008
