| hey guys,
here is the issue we are having, and i'm not sure whether this is the right
newsgroup.....so i am asking for help, or a direction to the correct one.
we are using two linksys vpn routers, and trying to establish a tunnel. on
both ends we are receiving reports of status:connected, but are unable to
share files or see each others computers on the network. also, we are able
to ping each other's ip addresses, so we know a connection is really
established. has anyone experienced this type of problem? is it a software
issue? any help would be appreciated. thank you.

Browsing across subnets can be complicated to get working. The quickest
answer is that it doesn't work unless you have a Windows domain
controller running the WINS service. Even then it's tricky. You should
be able to directly connect to the services if you connect to the IP
address directly or if you have DNS entries for your internal services
you can connect via the computers DNS domain name.
