Presumably we're talking MS Win9x/NT here?

Can you dial-out to the server?
Does PING to the server work?
Does TNSPING to the server work?

I have to use Dial-up networking to start the phone call on my NT4 PC to the server, when the connection is up I can then use SQLNET quite happily.

Of course, your intranet and remove server do have different subnets...
