I Remote Desktop into Window Server on my local network, while connected I

connect to a VPN connection (from the Server), once the VPN connection is

made my Remote Desktop connection to the Server is lost. I am also unable to

Remote Desktop to the the Server, though I can still access folder shares on

it.

 

Can someone help me with this problem?

A possible problem may be either you have a personal firewall on your

system that is causing issues or the VPN client does not allow split-DNS

thus shutting off your local network access while connected through the

VPN. Although that does not explain being able to access network shares.

 

I do believe it is a VPN client policy related issue though.

If your using the MS PPTP VPN client you can enable/disable split tunneling.

See this Cable Guy article for help with that...

Note the potential security issues. Sometimes this is also a server side

function, ie. like in OpenVPN. If that is the case then you would need to

talk to the VPN admin about this issue...

Re: Remote Desktop stops after vpn

 

Let me clarify:

The VPN client is the windows server.

 

While the server (vpn client) has the VPN connection active I cannot remote

desktop to the server. Though I still have access to folder shares on that

server.

Please read my reply to Sooner Al.

 

And disabling the firewall does not fix the problem.

That still may be the problem especially since the server (vpn client)

is the VPN client. Whatever server is hosting the vpn connection is

probably setting the policy and that may be where your problem is.

What policy is being set that could be causing my problem?

Like Sooner and I stated, we believe it is the split tunneling policy.

The host system may have it set to no.

 

I am only going on past experiences here. You may want to make sure

that the VPN host system allows RDP 3389 too.

Update:

 

Though the Remote Desktop connection is dropped when the VPN first connects,

after a few minutes the Remote Desktop connection is reestablished.
