Default VPN from Vista Machine not showing all workgroups on Office Network

I am able to connect to my office (Win XP - peer to peer) Network from my
home (Vista Ultimate) machine. The netwrok connection connects ok and I am
able to browse computers on my office network which belong to one workgroup.
However I am unable to see other workgroups and other network hardware that
is connected to the network. I have tried to ping some of this hardware but
it is unable to reach it.

Any ideas as to whats wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Windows XP and Vista VPN is peer to peer connection. You won't be able to see whole network except you can make the VPN host as router.
