File sharing over vpn

I have a site to site vpn link. From one side you can search for devices on the other side by ip address but once found no connection to any shared folders can be made. All ideas gratefully accepted.

i just did a test and it was working fine.

i did it via start > run, \\

just wondering if you can access it by using the ip.

assuming you were browsing the company name before, it wouldn't work. the reason being the name/ip translation relies on broadcast, and broadcast will not be encrypted/sent via the ipsec vpn.

You can search the network by IP and see the machines but cannot open any shared folders.

just wondering if you get a prompt at all.
