VPN from Terminal Server 1

[DTrak21]

Hello, I'll try best to explain the senario here without confusing you as much as possible. I'm running a business where I am trying to connect remotely to terminal services using the Remote Desktop Connection. I VPN to a Cisco
PIX 501 and then use Remote Desktop to access the terminal server. I need to then VPN out while using terminal services and connect to another network. Reason being is I need to enter information stored on the server at the server I'm trying to VPN to while using terminal services. Problem I'm running into is that I connect, it prompts me for a username and password, I enter it in and then it just drops. I don't know what to do and the provider refuses to allow split tunneling (which I understand why now). Can someone please give me some help in solving this issue or another viable solution to the problem? Thank alot for your time and thoughts on this.

Without split tunneling, you won't be able to do it. Without split tunneling, the VPN client will always only allow network access to the network or host it's VPN'ed to...nothing else. That is why whenever you VPN out from the terminal server, your connection instantly drops as soon as you establish that connection. Split tunneling is the only way to solve it.

I've never understood people's fears of split-tunneling. If the rest of your network is sound, then you have nothing out of the ordinary to worry about...but that's just me...
