Poptop doesn't allow passthrough of the "network neighborhood" past the VPN server, as of now.
I have installed a vpn server here and sometimes i can see the network, sometimes i do not. It's being worked on I believe, but there hasn't been much activity on poptop for quite a while.
If you know the name of the server you want to connect to, just type
\\servername\nameofshare
in your explorer address bar and it will work

The problem is the netbios broadcasts. If you want to be able to "see" other hosts in the network neighbourhood you either have to set up a wins server or use a vpn with ethernet bridging. |
