Windows – RDP into PC with VPN

cisco-vpnrdpwindows

I have a work PC (Win 7 Ent) (usually given to me by my clients) where I do work related projects and a home PC (Win 10 Pro) where I do my freelancing stuff.
Both are connected to my home network.

Usually I just RDP from home PC to the work one, spawn the screen across all my three 27" monitors and work happily.

But now, I've got a work PC where I must use VPN to access some of the client's internal resources. The VPN client is Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, v.4.3.01095.

Once VPN connects I cannot RDP anymore from my home PC, even though we are in the same local home network. I can ping it using local IP, but RDP won't connect.

Is there a solution for this? There is no way the client will change any settings on the Cisco server. All I can do is tweak the work PC only.

Please advise.

Can you add a 2nd network card to the work PC, assign a static IP address in a different network and connect that way?
