Question : Problem: VPN works, but cannot rdp to workstations

I have a client who has a windows 2003 server with vpn setup through routing and remote access. I can vpn into the network fine, attach to server shares and even rdp to the server, but if I try to rdp to any of the workstation I cannot do it. I cannot ping the workstations by name or ip.Remote connections are enabled on the workstations, I can rdp to the workstations from the server, but not from the pc that i am using to vpn in on. any ideas?

Answer : Problem: VPN works, but cannot rdp to workstations

When you RDP, I'm assuming you've tried both DNS name and IP?  Both fail?

Check to see if you have DNS server statically setup in the VPN connection (Properties >> Networking >> TCP/IP Properties)?  If this does not get assigned to your VPN client automatically, you should have that in there.  In addition, it doesn't hurt to set it static as well.  So enter the IP of that Windows 2003 Server under the static DNS entries, reconnect to the VPN and see what happens.  That was an issue with one of our employees last week actually.
