we have two windows xp sp2 computers which are sharing files and printers.
they are configured as a workgroup.

When any of these computers connect to the sbs 2003 server via vpn file
sharing between the two workgroupo comuters does not work.

is there a way around this?

thanks,

Bill

Perhaps this is a split tunneling issue if your using the MS PPTP VPN
client?

Maybe you need to disable the use default gateway on the VPN connection, if
you right click the VPN connection then go to properties and select
networking then double click TCPIP and click advanced and deselect use
default gateway on remote network.
I don't have access to an XP pc at the moment so I may be a bit of with the
instructions but hopefully you'll find it and it'll resolve your problem.
