They may be able to "see" the other computer, particularly if it has netbios
over tcp/ip enabled on it and wins is used in the network to facilitate
browsing via netbios over tcp/ip, however you can control what traffic the
client receives and sends to the network. In Windows 2000 rras for instance,
Remote Access Policies can be configured with input and output filters by
editing the profile/ip of the Remote Access Policy to allow access to and
from only certain IP address, ports, and protocols. If you are connecting
via an ipsec VPN endpoint device, they can be configured in the same way to
manage traffic through the tunnel.--- Steve
