   Sounds like you don't have anything setup for name resolution.  Can you   
   ping that server using it's IP address?  Can you map a drive using the   
   IP address?   
      
   Do you have a WINS server or DNS server setup?  Does your client obtain   
   the correct server settings?   
      
   Technically a VPN only handles the IP level connection.  IP services   
   like name resolution are another matter.  You would have the same   
   problem on a WAN if the network services aren't setup properly.
