I think you may be right about the DNS thing, it's strange because I can ping the computer over the vpn but am unable to connect to it via DNS name or FQDN. But if I just manually enter the IP address of it, it connects with no issues.

Not sure where to go from there though.

We are having intermittent issues in our office where we are unable to login to win2k8 servers at our datacenter over vpn via Remote desktop manager. This only happens on a specific domain, and it works fine in other domains. This has happened on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops, and as well the built in RDC will not start on the windows 8 laptop if the Remote desktop manager is installed.

What happens is the login fails with an incorrect username and password which we know is right, and after monitoring the server it does not show any failed login attempts. The workaround is to uninstall remote desktop manager reboot and reinstall and it works again for awhile and then it will stop working again. Any help would be appreciated.
