Mapping a resource

[NullOp]

I am trying to setup a VPN connection and map a resource. I have the server setup, the router is forwarding the correct port and PPTP is passed through. The remote PC can logon without a problem. However, I can not map a drive or "see" a drive to map from the remote PC. The drive is shared. I have tried using net view and the server is not on the list. I suspect it should be. I've checked to be sure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on the server and remote PC. Still no luck. Any and all advise is welcome. BTW, the server PC is XP pro, the remote is XP home. I've also read through several posts on this forum before posting this request for help.
