Default Finding a server/computer over VPN

Hi
I have set up a VPN on my Vista laptop, to my office, and can connect to it
fine. However, I cannot see my office server to access files.

In XP, I created a shortcut by connecting the VPN then choosing
Search/Printers, computers or people/A computer on the network/ then typing
in the name of my office server. I cannot work out if there is a Vista
equivalent of this. If I choose 'Computers on the network' I get an icon for
my printer and my laptop, but cannot figure out how to access my work server
via the VPN.
Anybody help, and let me know how to get onto my work server via my VPN?
Thanks
