ok, it's PPTP.  given the below, that's irrelevant at this point though.

your local firewall has absolutely nothing to do with what you can or
can't access on a remote VPN if you can connect successfully.  You're
probably missing the appropriate DNS on this particular connection,
assuming you can't connect by hostname.

I'd try to ping the server by its private IP, then try to ping it by
hostname.  If the former works and the latter does not, you have a
name resolution issue, probably because you're missing the correct DNS
entries.

Regardless, this is a client configuration issue, not a m0n0wall issue.
