Problems connecting to client server via VPN - Microsoft environment

Asked by MrDeveloper in Virtual Private Networking (VPN), Miscellaneous Networking, Remote Desktop/Terminal Services

My company is working on a project for a customer that requires remote access to their Windows server.  

Our developer was able to create a VPN connection through the standard windows GUI and connect to their network.  However, when he tried to RD to the server, he got the "machine cannot be found" type of message.  He also cannot ping the machine by name from a command prompt.

I tried this from my macbook laptop running WinXP as a virtual machine and it worked flawlessly.  I can connect by VPN and remote right to the server.  I pinged it and gave the ip address that it resolved to the developer but he still cannot connect.

Thank you so much for any help
