problem with Remote Desktop after Cisco VPN install.

[Guest mdurkin]

Hi,

 

I am a consultant and normally connect to clients servers using MS VPN and

remote desktop. However, I just installed Cisco VPN Client 5.0.01.0600 on my

Win XP Professional SP2 pc when a new client required the Cisco client.

Since installing the Cisco client, I get the error message 'The connection to

the remote computer was lost' when I try to use RDC to connect to servers

that I have always been able to connect to before (I am still using MS VPN

with them). The only server that I can connect to with Remote Desktop is

the new one for which I have used the Cisco client to establish VPN.

 

If anyone has an idea what might be causing my problem, please write! Thank

you very much!

Hi Michele,

Cisco VPN Client has its own policies that you can configure for remote

access. Since you are having a problem only after you installed Cisco's VPN

client, it might have something to do with their settings. I would suggest

contacting their helpdesk or support groups for a quick answer.

Thanks,

Munindra

Re: problem with Remote Desktop after Cisco VPN install.

 

some new information on this problem that could be helpful to others reading

this post:

I have now found that as long as I wait several minutes AFTER establishing

Microsoft VPN connection to try Remote Desktop, I AM ABLE to connect. The

secret seems to be to not try to connect too soon. I realize that this

doesn't explain what's going on and whether the change in behavior is due to

installing the CISCO client or some other factor. Anyway, at least I have a

workaround now.
