assuming you can ping the remote ip, can you ping FQDN? if not, use nslookup to check which DNS you are using.

Thank you Robert,
that newbie thing is showing so some "stupid" questions:
Since Zywall Firewall and Client are dealing with the VPN tunnel is there
still need to establish VPN-server on the server side?
I've read those articles you are pointing and still not sure which services
I should have started or still need to start on the server and on the other
hand on client side so that clients windows could logon to the domain?
Or in which end is the problem that Client side Windows doesn't find the
domain through the VPN tunnel?
Using cmd and ping I can see that the server is there..
To your question Robert - I've added server's side DNS addresses to the
network connection at client side. Ipconfig confirms that same DNS- addrsses
are also used at client side.
Basically I would need to know what services should be on and which should
posibbly be off on both server and client side?
Is there any other additional software that I could use to search what's to
be found through VPN tunnel from domain side?
From the symptoms I figured so far that either domain server doesn't for
some security reason or otherwise allow the connection to the domain or my
windows2000 doesn't have all necesary software/code to "see" what's on the
other side of the tunnel?
I read about L2TP/IPsec NAT-T update for Windows XP and Windows 2000, but
couldn't find it from the windows update site - does anyone have direct url
where to download it? Could that solve any of my problems?

ps. pinging to the server accross the internet is grate, but gets little bit
boring after while...
