Remote Controlling on VPN

[Bob Grabbe]

I would ask also whether you are trying to access the machines by using the
host name or the ip address. On your home machine the dns names might not be
working, but if you access the remote machines using the ip address, do they
?

It sounds like it ought to work.  Is your VPN tunnel set up to access
the entire internal network or just the server machines?  Is any
firewalling being done on the VPN traffic (e.g. allowing only access to
specific ports/services)?
