Cant connect to license server via VPN using Win7 x64?

Cant connect to license server via VPN using Win7 x64?

Cant connect to license server via VPN using Win7 x64?

(OP)
Pretty interesting situation that I would like to get some feedback on.

We can connect from work via a XP x64 machine and multiple XP x32 machines without a problem.  From home via VPN they can still attain a license using XPx32.  We have 2 users that are now using Win7 x64 and for some reason they keep getting an error message stating that the server is down or offline?

I am able to ping the server by host name and IP address.  I have tried changing from name to IP Address in PTCsetup.bat and have tried disabling the entire firewall to no avail.  Does anybody have any ideas if it is Windows 7 x64 or the Server which is a Windows 2003 x32 Server or anything else?? Thanks to all in advance...

Figured it out.  There were some DNS problems so I added the route directly into our DNS Servers HOSTS file.  Also included the route on the local Win7x64 machine.  All good now.
