Xp Logon from VPN to SBS2003

I have SBS 2003 at our main site and have just established a new VPN to a
remote site. The VPN is up and running okay (verified by checking the VPN
status on the Firewall/Router) but I having issues getting the remote site to
logon successfully.

First, there are only a couple of PCs at the remote site, no server. The
server is W2K3 at the main location. What is the best method of setting up a
domain logon?

I have assigned a username/password and a computername, but they seem to
receive DNS "unable to connect to the DNS server" issues. I noticed that the
IP that was preconfigured at thier end was in my DHCP range, so I configured
a static IP and excluded from my server end. I changed the DNS servers to
include mine as primary and the ISP as secondary. I can Ping their internal
IP but they cannot ping mine.

I have the feeling that I am missing something stupid. Your assistance is
appreciated.

Thanks

1. in this case, I would not setup domain logon.
2. Post the results of routing table on both sites may help.
