No public or shared folder discovery on successful VPN connection

here is my problem:

I have successfully created a VPN server on Windows 10 Pro, forwarded the necessary port (tcp and udp) and I can connect from another Windows 10 Pro computer ( through inteet ). Both computer belong to WORKGOUP.

The problem is that the client computer cannot access or discover the remote network, like public and shared folders, but I can browse the inteet.

In advanced sharing settings, I have tried tuing everything to "on", for public and private networks, I even tried tuing off the firewall on the host computer but nothing works.

I have tried to access the folders using

servers.ip.address.herePublic and serveamePublic

But nothing works, if I right click "Map a network drive" and say "Browse" the host computer is not listed there or anywhere else.

I am probably making a simple mistake (it usually is) but the this article show in a concise manner how I created the VPN connection, the article is for Windows 8 but its virtually identical on Windows 10: http://www.topnettricks.com/how-to-set-up-a-simple-vpn-in-windows-8/

I might also add that I couldn't access the inteet through the VPN until I added these settings to the connection (the server/host has a static local ip of 192.168.0.115), here is a screenshot:

I hope someone can point out my mistake here...
