I've set up a VPN connection to my work network on my home PC – running Windows 7
It connects fine.
Once connected, I can ping machines that are on my work network using my home pc, however, if I try to RDP to them, it doesn't connect…
It seems to initially connect,
It asks me for the logon user / password, and when I set them, and click OK, it gets stuck on a screen saying:
"Securing Remote Connection"
Eventually it pops up saying
"This computer can't connect to the remote computer.
Try connecting again. If the problem persists, contact the owner of the remote computer or your network administrator"
I know this computer is configured to allow remote connections etc… (and I've tried it with several different machines on the remote network)
Any ideas what i've set wrong?

On the Win 7 machine, start Remote Desktop Connection. Click on Options and go to the Advanced tab. For Server Authentication, do you have "Do not connect"? If so, knock it back to "Warn me" and try again.
