Ok so I got it working on one side of the vpn. The 192.168.2.0 can see
all the machines on both sides, but the 192.168.0.0 side can't see the
machines in my network places. They are XP Pro machines incase that
makes a difference. The wierd thing is I can ping the machines by name
but can't see them in my network places. The 192.168.0.0 network has a
windows 2000 PDC. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
