[Vpn-help] XP connected to a VPN router

[Michael Russell]

On the LAN PC, check the "scope" setting in Windows Firewall (Exceptions 
Tab) for "File & Print Sharing."  It's probably set to "subnet only" for 
the 4 components of "File & Print Sharing."  You need a custom rule for 
each of the 4, which includes the client PC or "Any Computer (including 
those on the Internet)" to allow the connection.  Since your LAN PC is 
(presumably) safely behind a firewall, then the "Any Computer" choice 
should be safe.  However, you should confirm this with whomever is in 
charge of your IT/Security Policy.
