Terminal services over VPN

[Guest Manfish]

I have a problem when attempting to establish a terminal services connection when connected to a VPN.

I can establish a vpn connection no problem and perform active sync over the vpn etc. But as soon as I try to use the TS client it drops the VPN even though I am attempting to connect to a private IP.

Is there any way of preventing the TS client from dropping the VPN tunnel?

TS client works fine connecting to a public IP address.

Does the TS client differentiate between the "work" and "public" networks? Perhaps it's dropping the VPN because it thinks it is supposed to use the "public" network.

I think this is the case, how can I tell which network the TS client uses as its prefered network?

Is it possible to change this setting?

Sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question but I only got the device a few days ago.

Good question, I've no idea. I took a look at the app, but there isn't much in the way of configuration.

Did a little google, this thread may be of interest to you:

From skimming those I got the impression that alternate (better) TS clients are available. Might be worthwhile checking them out.
