hello chris,

according ipconfig, seems netbiso on tcpip disabled in vpn adapter connection. please make sure have both enabled "netbiso on tcpip" and "file , printer sharing microsoft networks". default, is disabled in vpn adapter connection.

enable netbios on tcp/ip on windows 7:

1. click start, , click network. (click start, type ncpa.cpl search box windows 7 or vista, hit enter).
2. click on network , sharing center
3. click manage network connections.
4. right click on local area connection select properties.
5. select internet protocol version 4 (tcp/ipv4)
6. click advanced button under general tab.
7. click wins tab.
8. click enable netbios on tcp/ip.
9. click ok , exit settings.

configure file , printer sharing microsoft networks
