Situation: I have two Windows7 machines (PC and laptop). I've set PC as VPN server and laptop as VPN client using default built-in W7 network tools. I've disabled use default gateway in remote network on client machine, so client don't try to route all communication through VPN. I've routed port 1723 (TCP/UDP) on NAT to my server and enabled IPSec/PPTP/L2TP passthrough

I've put my laptop in indepedent network (basically I've connected it via 3G network), connected to VPN server and checked ipconfig /all

I've get:

IP Address: 192.168.1.101 
Mask: 255.255.255.255
Gateway: (none)

LAN mask in server LAN network is 255.255.255.0 - I am surely missing something obvious, but Google doesn't give me any good advices; How can I access local LAN network from remote VPN client? How can I access local shared documents?
