trying to access my company's Windows network from my 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>

I do this all the time. I use "pon" to start pppd with some scripts
and config files so my home Linux box can log into the office Windows
network. I get a PPP interface with an IP address in the VPN IP
address range, which can "see" the IP adresses in the office.<br>
<br>
I then add a network route for the office networks to go through the
PPP interface, and everything works fine. I also use rdesktop to
connect to a Windows box at the office.<br>
<br>
Could you post your ifconfig and netstat -rn (or route -n) output, as
well as the command output from you trying to ping your terminal
server's IP address so we can see if you can ping it or not.<br>
