I have set up my checkpoint firewall fp3 at our head office and have created a VPN from one of our remote sites, using a secure remote client. The VPN is established properly, and I can successfully ping any machine at our head office network. However would I be able to ping the secure client machine from a pc at my head office, as this is what I would like to do. I have tried to set up rules to allow this but still no luck!

Secondly, Once a VPN is established - should I be able to browse the head office network through network neighbourhood of the remote machine or can I only use the VPN to map drives?

Thank in advance for your help.
