Enable RDP while connected via Cisco VPN

  • 772

I have a remote win xp machine to which I connect via RDP. When I open a Cisco VPN connection (4.8 client) on that machine, the RDP connection drops because all traffic is routed over the VPN connection now.

Is there a way to make this work?

me => rdp => winXp => vpn => target

vpn cisco-vpn rdp

  1. Yup - get the person who administers your VPN connection to allow split tunneling.

  2. Hi you need to configure split tunnelling on your VPN connection.

    Split tunnelliong allows traffic to continue to route to the LAN, and also route through the VPN.

    Here is a configuration example for cisco ASA/PIX:
