Two different subnets communicating?

I have a LAN with a subnet 255.255.255.0 and DHCP as 192.168.1.x. I also have a Cisco RV220w router that I purchased because I wanted to set up VPN and connect to my network remotely. Now, my remote computer is on the same Workgroup (ACPHO) but when I connect via VPN, I do so successfully and I have an IP addy of 192.168.1.91 (my PPTP server is .90-.99) but the subnet mask is 255.255.255.255 and the default gateway is 0.0.0.0.

So even though I'm on the same Workgroup, ACPHO, I can't see any of the other computers. What haven't I done correctly?

This is my first foray into VPN so if I need to provide more information or I haven't asked the right question, please let me know!

You're actually on the same subnet, but as RDN mentioned, your mask is too narrow.

No, for a PPTP VPN, that's normal.

NETBIOS, however, is not going to traverse the VPN. Look for your other computers by IP or set up a real DNS server.
