I have installed VPN on a server 2003

I can login and get an IP address
I can print to an internal network printer

when I open up my local brower i can't see my home directory on the server.

PDC and home directories are on another server from the VPN and both servers
are on the same domain and subnet inside the office

Is there any way to map the vpn client browser so it can see the users home
directory

Browsing will require WINS or LMHOSTS, and may not work all that well. I
generally recommend that people not bother over VPN - but go to
\\server\share\folder or a mapped drive directly.

No differently than for your local users. Set up a share on your server that
they can access. Then send them instructions on how to map a drive, or put a
batch file on their desktops

net use x: \\server\share /persistent:no

etc.
