Generally speaking, when using the VPN connection in this example,
you need to use the IP address instead of the NETBIOS name.
for example, to connect to a share of machine "mickey" (assumes mickey's IP address is 10.5.1.4)
the usualy way
net use z: \\mickey\share does not work,
but
net use z: \\10.5.1.4\share works great.
