Scenario: 3 Machines on WinXP SP2.

2 Machines 1mb DSL (aol) setup as VPN Client (used step-by-step off My Machine 2mb DSL (aol) set up as VPN Server per same site. Using DirectUpdate to give me a stable DNS for the 2 clients to log onto.
Currently on 1 of the clients logging on and that is fine.

Use for VPN: All machines were set up on a ethernet lan in the same room but lack of room led to us experimenting with VPN. Use of LAN gaming and also for file sharing as i keep their computers up2date.

questions:
Will WinXP Home with SP2 support more than 1 client connecting to my machine?
How can i get the shared folders,etc to appear in a VPN as currently neither machine can see the other (but lan games do work)?
Any software that i can use to make the process easier?
