If it's in the same workgroup, I would think you would see it in My Network Places.

thats what i figured, too, but my buddy who was logging in couldn't see a thing. it showed him being connected, and he was in the same workgroup, and he even tried searching for the name of the pc, but it wasn't finding anything. when i setup the connection, i made sure i checked the "allow users to browse my files"

thanks for the help

I know VPN = Virtual Private Network, but what does it actually mean?
