sorry but that did not solve the problem...<br />
nor can I ping server<br />
but I can ping server.hhfict.local

but I can ping server.hhfict.local

<div>
just to be clear... &nbsp;not that you told me the domain name, the DNS suffix needs to be hhfict.local.<br />
<br />
So, do this:<br />
<br />
Right-click your VPN connection and select properties.<br />
<br />
Select the Networking Tab.<br />
<br />
Select Internet Protocol and click Properties.<br />
<br />
Click Advanced.<br />
<br />
Select the DNS tab.<br />
<br />
Ensure that DNS suffix for this connection is configured - it should be: &nbsp;hhfict.local<br />
<br />
Can you take a screenshot of the settings on the DNS tab and post them?

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Windows XP

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
