Check you PC for any security system that might be blocking share ports.
I had the same problem when my pc was using zone alarm. I added the IP
of the network behind my vpn on the trusted zone and it worked without
compromising security over access of shares.

Hope it gives something. Please ignore if it doesn't make sense.

Also seeing computers and shares in My Network Places over a VPN is
problematic at best. For VPN a user is usually best off creating shortcuts
or mapping drives to the computer they want to access over the VPN possibly
using the IP address of the target computer instead of the name assuming the
computer has a static IP address. --- Steve
