Working from home. ? on using Remote Desktop to access VPN connected system.
Hi all! I hope somebody can help me with my issue, even if it's not possible to do.
I am going to be working from home (on private LAN). I am working on a long term contract that involves two separate companies and I am going to have a laptop from each that I will connect using VPN.
I am trying to figure out how I am going to connect the two laptops to my exisiting home pc setup with two monitors and all use the same keyboard and mouse (have limited desk space).
My home PC runs Windows 7 Ultimate. I had considered using Remote Desktop to access both work laptops from my home PC and working that way. But if I am correct, as soon as I connect them to their VPNs I would lose the remote desktop connection due to
the IP change.
So question is, is there any way I can use Remote Desktop (from home PC) to connect to both laptops (all on private LAN) and still be able to connect them to their corporate VPNs? I appreciate any and all help!
Thanks!

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, you can try to disable Use default gateway on remote network and see how it works.
If issue persists, Im afraid that there may be no workaround.
Hope this helps.
