Here is your problem: your server does not have a static IP address. You cannot enable DHCP on your server. Instead, you input the same IP address as a static IP. It should solve your issue.

Also, PPP adapter, which connects to your modem should be DHCP enabled. PPP is only used for VPN should not run with any static IP address. You should reverse the setting between your LAN NIC and VPN.

The server at the remote location has a static IP of 192.168.99.250 and is the DHCP server for the netwrok.  When I connect to the netwrok, the server [192.168.99.250] assigns me an IP for that network.  The static address that I use to connect to the network is assigned by the ISP, and DHCP on the Watchguard appliance [entry to the remote]etwork is set as assigned the the ISP.  It has a staic 192.168 address also.
From my end when I connect to the remote, my IP on my router and modem are not static.  My router acts as a DHCP server from my location.  Since I can connect to the remote router and some work stations, I need clarity on the server settings.  

I am confused. What is the following IP 192.168.12.9? Is it from your PC?
Can you post server ipconfig?
Also, did you look in this KB? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813550

I looked at the article, but it was for server 2003.  I do not recall configuring an EAP from the server.  Where would I adjust that.
I will need to get access to the server, so will post it asap.
My computer at home is the .9.  The server's static IP is 192.168.99.250 and it sits behind a watchguard security appliance.  I can VPN in and connect to workstations, and can remote desktop from a remote workstation to the server, but this ties up a station and is quite slow.
The server is also the DNS and DHCP server.  I have remote access configured on the server in Active Directory.

It gotta be the security appliance, which drops the connection to your server. Look in the appliance's rules and ensure all ports for RDP (53, 135, 3389) are enabled.

I can log on to any work station on the network, just get denied from the server

So the server that you tried to logon TS was a domain controller. Did you try to logon TS with local administrator account of the server?
