SBS 2008 VPN questions

I've just implemented VPN on my SBS 2008 server. Everything seems to work
fine as far as connecting. Connection from home is also fast and stable. I
do have afew questions though.

1. From a VPN connection I cannot access any server and share using the run
command \\servername\sharename. What I can do from a run command is
\\servername.domain.local\sharename.

2. I run login scripts to map network drives. This is applied from a GPO.
Are these applicable when I VPN to my network from home? If so how do I
enable this?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe some help with Question1:

Getting WINS-like computer name resolution over VPN in SBS 2008

Thanks Merv. I checked out the link and yes it does appear this would be the
fix. I followed the procedures and still have same issues. I'm wondering if
because I am using ISA 2006 this could be the problem. Your thoughts?

You have ISA 2006 installed on a separate server in front of the SBS 2008?
Did you follow the MS white paper for setting up that scenario?
