VPN connected now what

I can successfully make a VPN connection to my office computer. What I
don't know how to do now is actually access any resources on that computer.

What do I need to do to see shared folders/drives on my office computer?

The simple answer is name resolution and valid credentials. The full
answer is a lot longer and depends on a lot of things.

Can you ping the machine by IP? If so, routing is working. Can you ping
by name? If not, you need to look at the name resolution. You can simply add
a HOSTS or LMHOSTS file to the client, or you can use DNS or WINS if that is
running on the LAN.

Whne you can ping by name, try net view \\machinename . If you see the
share you want, do net use z: \\machinename\filename . If it doesn't like
your default credentials, use the extra username options in net use .
