Linux box. I am able to connect to the VPN network using
networkmanager-pptp, but that is as far as I get. I have an IP
address for the terminal server but Gnome's Remote Desktop
Viewer can't connect to it. I don't know if I need to do
something else first, such as add a gateway. Is anyone familiar
with this? Any suggestions?<br>

your internal work network, as if that adds "security" or something
silly like that.<br>
