I need to figure out how to set up a VPN, I have configured everything in Routing and remote access, but how do you let certin people see a specific folder? I thought it was like iis ftp where you map to a folder and then set permissions, but I can not see where to go to do this.

VPN is usually used for connections made over the internet, if this is the case, you will have to enable port 1723 on your firewall and redirect incoming connections on the specific port to your server.
In order to allow people to use your shares, you will have to set user's permissions for your shares within both sharing and security ( NTFS files system )tabs of your folders or drives ( right click->properties) Then your users will have to use your shares either with unc names \\Win2003\Somestuff either to map them with net use X: \\win2003\somestuff
If you want your users to "see" your shares you will have to setup a Wins server that will help solve the netbios names over your gateway and firewall (if the connection is over the internet ) Please beware of security issues Hope this helps
