newbie question: Nt4 vpn connection

[Jon Carnes]

Sounds like either a WINS problem, or a Domain authentication problem.  Have
the NT boxes been properly added to the Domain?

There is a Windows tool (from the tool kit - BROWSTAT.EXE), that will help
you troubleshoot the problem.  It lets you look at all the NetBIOS
information.
