Guest Harolds Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 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? -- Harolds

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. moncho

Guest Harolds Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 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. -- Harolds "Sooner Al [MVP]" wrote: > "Harolds" <harolds@community.nospam> wrote in message > news:80234157-CB20-4964-BC8C-2EEB746A2F0D@microsoft.com... > >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.

Guest Harolds Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Re: Remote Desktop stops after vpn Please read my reply to Sooner Al. And disabling the firewall does not fix the problem. -- Harolds "moncho" wrote: > Harolds wrote: > > 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.

Whatever server is hosting the vpn connection is probably setting the policy and that may be where your problem is. moncho
Guest Harolds Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Re: Remote Desktop stops after vpn What policy is being set that could be causing my problem? -- Harolds "moncho" wrote: > Harolds wrote: > > 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.

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. moncho
Guest Harolds Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Re: Remote Desktop stops after vpn Update: Though the Remote Desktop connection is dropped when the VPN first connects, after a few minutes the Remote Desktop connection is reestablished. -- Harolds "moncho" wrote: > Harolds wrote: > > 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.
