Our company network is a windows network. We have a couple of remote users with Mac's. The Mac's connect to the network over a VPN. They can connect to the network through the VPN but can not see or connect to any network resources. What settings am I missing?
Thank you this is a very helpful link on how to connect the VPN. However, my problem is not connecting the VPN. That connects just fine. My problem is that once the VPN is established and I am on the network, none of the shares or resources are visible or able to be connected to.
If you mean mounting folder of Windows server,
you can use the command "mount_smbfs"
or Mac OSX: mounting shared filders using an "smb://URL" or mount_smbfs command.

VPN gets you connected to the network as if you were physically present in the office, but nothing more. Once you have successfully connected via VPN, you have to perform a seperate step to actually login to the server.
Also, some of the "it just works" aspects, like seeing all the things you can login to, before actually logging in to them, is a feature of Bonjour, which doesn't pass over VPN. You'll probably have to use the Finder Menu GO -> Connect to Server, and then type the server's IP address in manually.
