I have a pair of Linksys BEFSX41 VPN routers running. One is at work with a small network of Win2K machines. The other is at home with a network of mixed machines. After much messing around I have the VPN running. The problem is that when I go to network neighborhood on the WinXP Pro machine at home, the only computer to show up is the one on which I am logged in. nothing from the remote end of the VPN. One of the other machines on the home network is a Mac with OSX and it can see all the machines at the remote end just fine, and connect to all of them, but the XP machine can't. here are some things I've tried. made sure IPX/SPX, Netbios, NETBEUI were all installed on both ends Disabled the WInXP personal firewall (ICF) Turned off Norton Internet Security Deleted the Bridge that WinXP created when it saw a firewire card on the computer I know the VPN is working because the Mac can connect, but I'm baffled about the WinXP Pro machine. If anyone can shed some light, it would be much appreciated.
