Unable to connect to my desktop at work via VPN
Environment:
Home computer: Windows XP Pro SP3
Work computer: Windows VISTA Business edition SP2
From home, I can vpn to all the other desktops and servers including to other desktops with the same editions of VISTA. Moreover, we have tested that my coworkers (both with Win XP Pro SP2 and Vista) can vpn to my VISTA at work from their workstations at
work. But, for some strange reasons, I am unable to vpn to my own computer from home. I have successfully vpn from home to my same computer at work before once.
I have checked that my workstation at work in on when I am doing vpn from home. And I have tired it several different days and times but no success.
Could someone please help?
Thanks.

This problem was resolved. It turned out that my office desktop was going into sleep mode after an inactivity for some time. One of the coworkers changed the sleep mode to never expire or something of that sort. And, now I can VPN to my desktop
from home.
