Can't Access Network via VPN

Can you see the resources on the VPN server? I would suspect routing issues as a start. Try to ping the computers on the remote LAN. Report your results if you need further assistance. Keep in mind that ping is not a yes/no ordeal, report the specific errors.

I can see the VPN server and can see its resources. I can't ping anything on the remote LAN. The ping times out. If I attempt to change the client to be part of the remote LAN, the error is that the domain does not exist. The server is Windows 2K server and the clients are Win2K Professional. The remote network is also WIN2K, with DHCP on one server and DNS and WINS on another. The remote clients use a different octet than the local clients. Could there be a problem with DNS?
