Making use of VPN

[Anjinsan5]

I have an interesting problem.

I am trying to set up a VPN for my office. We are Using a Multitech RF660VPN at the office and I am running a Linksys wireless router here at home.

I have been able to establish the tunnel (Only when I connect my home desktop directly to the cable modem multitech tells me that is a problem wiht the RF660' firmware and will be fixxed next month)

What I don't know (and I know this sounds stupid) is what do I do now? I can pin all of my LAN computers using their LAN IP addresses but I can't get to or even see the shared resources. I mus be operating unter a delusion. I thought that when the VPN was set I would look in explorer and be able to see my work LAN like I would if I was sitting at my workstation in the office.

What do I do from here to take the next step to being able to make use of this VPN tunnel? As you can tell by my complete lack of knowledge on this subject I can use all the help I can get. Please feel free to wade in with all the knowlege and tips you wish to endow me with.

Thanks

Matt
