vpn and share files

After you are connected to the VPN

Search for the computer you are looking for. You should then be able to double click on it and access the shared folders...

Very proper operation.

Once you VPN to the other machine, it's not unlike you unplugged from your network and plugged into that remote network. To allow access to both at the same time would be a violation of what a VPN does.
