Host: Fileserver at Home, Client: Laptop at work.

Still NooB to the VPN scene.

Is the VPN setup correctly? Can you ping any resources within the network?

Here is a good guide on VPN's, just used it the other day actually

Great, Thanks, Will check that guide out.

The VPN looks like it's working.

Once connected can I map a drive?

yes, in theory you should be able to map a network drive once you are connected.

If I remember the tabs correctly you can map a drive using the options available in "Dial-in" or "Terminal Services" for Active Directory user properties.
