Hi Marcia -
First - can you ping the server by name? by IP? Have you applied the reg
edits from 292822?
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;292822
Second - what OS is the VPN client running? Is the remote client joined to
the domain? If Win9x and not joined to the domain, have you tried changing
the workgroup to match the AD domain name?
