Remote desktop to Home network and VPN to work does not work simultaneously
* I have one windows 7 ultimate and one windows 7 enterprise in my home network * I use windows 7 Enterprise to connect to work machine (windows server 2003) using nortel VPN * I am unable to "remote desktop" to my windows 7 ultimate (home network) when I am connected to work network with VPN. Is it possible to connect through "remote desktop" on home network when I already connect to work network thru VPN?

Normally this isn't a problem, but I'm not sure how a Nortel VPN is configured. You'll have to look for an option to turn off using the gateway on the remote network and configure it to use the local gateway only. If that's even possible with your VPN. The reason is it's bypassing local name resolution and looking for your local PC on the remote network and not finding it. Alternately, you should be able to connect using the local machine's IP address instead of its name.
