Bonjour doesn't work through a VPN tunnel. You would have to identify the server by its numerical IP address or by a fully-qualified domain name.

If the name is not resolved, you may need to select the "advanced" option in the network settings to send all traffic through the tunnel, or else use the numerical address. If that doesn't work, see below.

Routing over L2TP or PPTP won't work reliably, or at all, if both ends of the VPN tunnel terminate on the same CIDR netblock. That's why people never give a VPN server a local address in 192.168.1.0/24; the netblock is much too common. Please use something in 10.x.x.x.
