Can't communicate to server thru VPN

I purchased a linksys befsx41 router that has VPN capability. Based on another thread (463-556776] Markku suggested to use SSH sentinel to create VPN. I used software as suggested and was able to create the connection. My problem however is that I can ping workstations on their network using their ip address, but I can't ping with their host name. I can't ping server either with ip address or host name. internal ip address of workstations are 192.168.1.100 thru 106 and server ip address is 192.168.1.125 not sure what the problem is.

I've tried configuring forwarding on the router (disabled dhcp to do this). Opened port 23 to allow telnet to be passed to the server. All workstations are now on static ip.

My goal is to be able to communicate with the server so that I can run an application via telnet.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Ken
