I agree with Robin's explanation, but think you should try to fix the VPN
first.

If you investigate, you will likely find that name resolution through DNS
never worked -- because your VPN connection doesn't push the internal DNS
servers and / or the correct DNS suffix to the clients.  When it worked, the
resolution was working through NetBIOS broadcasts.

Getting DNS to work over the VPN would be preferable for the long term.  If
not possible, Robin's suggestions should restore the service as well.
