Sounds like you know the IP address of the taget computer, if so just do
this... StartAccessories Run... type "\\ip.address" and press enter or open any window and type \\ip.address in the address bar.

Thanks Doug, it did not work, must be some kind of vista/firewall issue.
this works fine on an xp pc. i resolved this by moving the vpn from the internet router and then forward the vpn port to a sbs server, then setup the vpn on the server. weird, but thanks anyway.
