Not finding the machine you're trying to connect to due to DNS not resolving
the name to IP.

Suppose I provide the IP and the port?

The port is not important, but the IP is. Either supply the IP (and as the IP
changes) or keep DNS through the vpn active and correct.

I know the IP and it stays put, but I'm trying to access it via
a VPN created through SonicWall.

My users have no issues connecting to RDP using mstsc across VPN. Are you able to
connect to that box on your internal network without VPN? Is RDP enabled on that box?

That network has only the server and the system I'm trying to get to. I
may have to take a laptop over and connect in order to address your
question about connecting without VPN.
I did enable Remote Desktop service (to the best of my so-called
ability) but I can't remember if I rebooted !8-) Is there a
protocol/service/client that must be installed in the Local Area
Connector? (running Windows XP sp2 on both ends). I will double
check those settings.

You can check that RDP is active from another box by telnet'ing to
the windows box port 3389 (telnet $HOST 3389).

Neat trick!
Sadly,
C:\>telnet 192.168.248.207 3389
Connecting To 192.168.248.207...Could not open connection to the host,
on port 3
389: Connect failed
answers to a ping however.
