Are the addresses at the far end of the VPN tunnel on the same subnet as
those on your end?
If your target host machine is the one terminating the VPN tunnel, I'd go
for whatever IP address is specified in the VPN connectoid (down by the
clock, status, details) as the "server ip address."
You've got the right instinct--you want a single pipe to put you on the lan
at the far end, able to address any given machine with RD--and this should
be possible, if you can get the IP addressing right.
Since this is all private addressing we are talking about (if not, why not
just leave off the last part if the addresses)--it'd be easier for me to
visualize if you could just tell us straight out what the addresses
are--those given out by DHCP at the host end, those you've specied for the
VPN use at the host end, and those in use at the client end--and those that
actually appear in properties of the tunnel when it's open.
