My daughter and I both have Pipex ADSL, we both have XP Home on laptop
computers.

I am behind a Vigor 2600 router with built in VPN server, she is
behind a Linksys router.

She is able to connect via VPN to my network fine, we can ping both
ways, she can see my shared folders and open files within, I can
connect to her using VNC but for some reason if I try to open/explore
her computer I get the message that I do not have permission.

I can see her computer name on 'workshop computers' but I cannot open
it, she has definitely allowed some folder shares as they have the
'hand' under the folder.

Any ideas what may be the problem.

I~f you're running SP2 and the Windows Firewall is running, you need to
add File and Printer Sharing to the list of exceptions.
