Accessin local computers using RDP while connected to VPN

Hi guys,

I work from home and have to be connected to my companies VPN to work. I
want to access some other computers in my house using remote desktop. I am
able to access other computers until I sign-on to the VPN then I'm no longer
able to access the other computers.

Any ideas?

Routing Table:

xx = the same value for every instance in the table, eg, 21
xxx = a different vaule than xx

Thanks,

Check with the people who control the VPN. This may be a setting within the
VPN set up to provide an extra layer of security.

It is called "Split Tunneling When you create the VPN connection, it
replaces the normal network connection. It has a new network address and
gateway, and by default all traffic goes over the VPN. The VPN remote
gateway has no idea where your local resources are and is unable to find
them.
When you allow split tunneling you define, for example, that 10.* traffic
should go down the tunnel but anything else e.g. an internet address) should
use the normal network connection with the normal gateway e.g. your local
network router. This is able to find your local resources.
Hope that helps,

Hello,

Although I'm not the OP, that was a good explanation. Helped me too.

If I wanted to change that on my own system, I take it the setting is as
follows ?

Right-click VPN icon and choose Properties.

Choose 'Networking' tab.

Choose 'Internet Protocol Version 4'

Choose Properties

Choose Advanced

Uncheck 'Use default gateway on remote network'.


Regards,

Nrth.
