MS Remote Desktop Connection and Cisco VPN Client 4.0.3 D

I have a laptop that I would like to use MS Remote Desktop to connect to over hardwire Ethernet at the same time my VPN Client is using the WiFi adapter to connected to my office. I have no problem establishing the connection, but when I log into the VPN my Remote desktop session disconnects. Is there a way to configure the VPN client to allow this connection? My IT dept does not support or allow split tunneling. Why if I have a separate IP connection to this machine can't this "Just Work"?

Thanks

Peter

Not sure if this will work or not but, try to add a route statement on your pc to differentiate what should be tunnel traffic over your vpn and which should be traffic to go out your secondary internet connections. However, I believe the purpose of not using split-tunnel is for security. Disabling split-tunnel keeps clients from being able to connect to unsecure sites and computers while traversing the secure company LAN you are VPN'd into. So finding a away around corporate security is surely going to p*ss off your network security team and may get you in trouble. The better approache might be to disconnect when you want to surf your internet or have your IT department setup the firewall so you can surf the net and connect to remote stations through the vpn tunnel.
