   OK, here goes.   
      
   The client PC is a Dell2350 running XP Pro connected to a Netgear MR814   
   wired/wireless router.   
   The remote PC (VPN server) is a Dell 2400 running XP Pro connected to   
   another Netgear MR814 router.  There are cable modems on each end with   
   seldom, if never, changing IP addresses. As stated on the box, the 814's   
   feature "Static and dynamic routing with TCP/IP, VPN pass-through (IPSec,   
   L2TP), NAT, PPTP, PPPoE, DCHP".   
      
   The connection is being made by the XP software, meaning there is no 3rd   
   party software. The gateway on the client end is 192.168.0.1 with a total of   
   three PC's on the network. The gateway on the server end is also   
   192.168.0.1, with a single PC and a Panasonic KX-HCM10 camera with a   
   built-in web server (192.168.0.253). The remote end is also has FTP server   
   software running on it (Ipswitch).   
      
   I can make the connection fine, but cannot see any shares. I'm sure that   
   this is a mapping issue, but as a total VPN idiot, I don't know where to go   
   from here.
