I have a VPN tunnel going from Location A to Location B. Both are using a Netgear FVS114 (all the equipment was purchased under the previous tech who quit). I have the tunnel connected and am able to ping the remote computers. I cannot however view their shares/printers via their ip or computer name. I tried a net use/view on the ip and get a system error 53 (the network path was not found). Windows simple file sharing is on, on all computers. Also the firewall is set to allow printer/file sharing (windows firewall). Also, Location As computers can browse other Location A computers and Locations B can browse printers/files on Location Bs network. So the local network is working however the interaction of file sharing isn't. I also have Netbios forwarding enabled on the routers. Please help!

Make sure the Windows Firewall exception rule isn't limited to the local subnet only. Since each end of the tunnel should have different subnets, this could be the problem. Change the scope & use the custom list to include both subnets. (Or just turn the firewall off completely, at least for testing purposes).
