VPN - What am I supposed to do?

ok we have a watchguard firewall and a windows 2003 server.

We want to use the watchguard firewall for authentication.

We can get past the watchguard bit, but what do we do after that?

Once I am "in" the network how can I find my files and stuff I need to access?

Also what is UNC?

So I guess were using a software client? We setup something on the firewall and then have this "key" that we use to connect to the firewall from
