Cannot connect to SQL Server through VPN

I established a VPN tunnel to my network at work to test merge replication.
While I am able to connect via VPN to my network and ping the server in
which the SQL server resides, I am not able to establish a connection to the
Sql Server to register in my Enterprise Manager. The error I get is "Sql
Server does not exist or Connection OPen [Connect()]. I am running Win2k
Pro in my home station, sp4, mdac 2.8 and ie6 with all updates. The server
is a win 2k Server with the same updates as my station. Sql Server in both
sides is 2000. The connection method is through DSL. Only two of close to
50 vpn subscribers in my network are experiencing this problem. The
firewall is a Watchguard 2500 firebox, router is a cisco router and the
switch is an HP switch. Some of the other subscribers are also DSL. My
gateway at home is a 2Gateway wireless portal.
Thanks for any help any of you may provide.Run the following command to make sure you can connect to the server through
the sql port, which is 1433 by default:
telnet servername_or_ip 1433

Can you create a Alias server using "CLient network utility with the
protocol as TCP/IP , IPaddress and Port number.
After that try connecting to SQL server using the Alias name you just
created.
Thanks

cannot connect to a named instance via TCP/IP

Are you connecting to your office through VPN or is your
firewall just configured to allow you to access port 1433?
If it is the latter, you must configure your firewall to
allow you access on the port that the named instance is
listening on (each instance has its own port and only the
default instance will be listening on 1433). You can
find the port the named instance is using by looking at
the TCP/IP properties for the instance in the server
network utility.
Hope this helps.

thx for your reply.
I use 1433 for my named instance and the I have configured the firewall to a
llow 1433.
I even try to configure the firewall to allow all TCP/IP, but I still cannot
connect to my SQL server.
