VPN connects, but no file shares

Hi all.

Both the laptop and office PC are running Vista64 Ultimate.

I can connect with the laptop just fine. The connection registers my
username and pw. And on the desktop (host), I can see the client
connection. However, I can't use my existing file shares, or even create
any new ones. Browsing Network Places from the laptop doesn't show the
other PC. Here is my ipconfig info from the laptop (remote) computer:

From the remote computer, I can ping the office computer, which is
192.168.1.102. Any advice would be appreciated...
