When connecting to a file server via VPN, why is "Network" (devices) in File Explorer not showing the file server that you were authenticated into?

Well good news for this. You have everything on 192.168.1.# So that's a good thing. Sharing that I.P. does nothing for anyone. I bet 95% of all networks have that number.
Under the Control Panel/Network/General tab. What does it say the server name is?

Then under Control Panel/File Services/SMB. What does workgroup name say? Does it match everything else in your network?

One last thing to try. In your file explorer. If you type the name of the server at the top, does it populate under Network?
