IP ranges can be an issue. If you work network has the same IP range and your home network, the DNS will get confused.

To be able to offer greater guidance, we ideally need to know what the VPN setup is at the server end. Is it a specific piece of hardware, is it software based or what.

My experience with VPN has been very hit and miss. Indeed from home, I can succesfully connect to my office, 99% of the time via my lappy Win XP Pro, but my desktop PC (Win XP Home) connects only 10% of the time, and then won't do anything by computer name, IP addys have to be entered.

Nb I too have NTL cable at Home, and a Lynksys router. Office is a fixed IP ADSL modem connected to a Small Business Server 2000 network. The server handles all incoming VPN traffic into the network, there being no VPN device other than the server software.
