Unable to RDP into PC on remote LAN
I have a LAN at home with 4 machines, 192.168.1.1 is a Server 2008 R2 machine, and .2 through .5 are Win7 PCs and VPN server is on .2. When I VPN in with my laptop connected to a Verizon hotspot, I can RDP into any machine on the remote LAN. However, when I VPN from any other location, I can't RDP into the .2 machine that the VPN server is running on. I've checked client settings and client adapter settings and all are identical. Help?

Re: Unable to RDP into PC on remote LAN
like linux where you cant ssh the vpn server itself, look likes that the same on windows side.  
what i did is to run vpn server on a dedicated linux machine (or a virtual dedicated one) and if I want to access it, I have to ssh/rdp another machine and from there ssh the vpn server.
For you, as you're running windows everywhere, i think you have to rdp a first machine and from there rdp your machine where the vpn server reside.

Re: Unable to RDP into PC on remote LAN
With windows it is possible to reach the server machine if the SE server hub is configured in bridge mode.
