This is probably a stupid question since I know that
someone in our office accomplished this once before. They
are no longer here for me to ask however.

Configurations:

My office workstation:
XP Pro
Remote Desktop Enabled
ISA Firewall Client

Our Server:
SBS 2000
ISA Server
T1 connection

Home machine:
XP Pro
Zone Alarm 4.5
Panda AV 2004
Earthlink TA 2004 (Dial-up)

At home I establish a VPN connection to our server
successfully. When trying to connect to my workstation It
says that it cannot find the computer name. I type in my
Office computer name, username, password & domain. Thats
when I recieve the error. I do have admin rights to our
server.

I followed the steps in this article:

/remotedesktop/default.asp

Not sure what I might be missing, Im sure it's obvious.
Sorry if Ive left out any info.

Thanks
 
Have you tried using the IP address of your office
workstation instead of the computer name? If that
doesn't work, you can use netmeeting in the same way as
well. Just enable desktop sharing at your office
computer, then once you VPN in, open up a netmeeting
session using the IP address of your workstation.
