Will check this out when I get home tonight.

BTW, FWIW, the VPN seems to "connect" fine.  I bring up the status window,
and it shows send & receive traffic.  I realize that this might not
necessarily mean anything other than my home PC "sees" my office PC.

Also, after VPN connects, I click Start/Run and enter: \\MyWorkPCname and
eventually get "Computer (???or server???) not found" message.  Could I also
try using my work PC's IP address?
