Remote desktop issue - inside a VM

Alright,

I have tried searching to no avail.

This is the problem. I am trying to use RDP inside a windows XP Sp3 VM. I have connected to my workplace VPN and tried to RDP into my desktop there.

I get the error

THis computer can't connect to the remote computer

If I connect via the Host system it works fine ( with VPN turned on). So I assume this is a guest problem.

This is my current setu

Guest - windows XP SP3

Host - Windows 7 64 utlimate

Guest is using Bridged networking and getting its own IP from my router. I can see the VM on my network places ( host machine).

RDP computer is specified as - computername.workdomainname.com

Any ideas? This should work right?
