That will significantly narrow down your search to your VPN connection being mis configured or an issue with your firewall and VPN or possibly your workstation having an RDP issue. The first one to verify your VPN is working right and the second to verify your workstation responds properly to RDP requests. EG can you RDP in from someone else's PC to the PC you want to get to? Once you have verified that you know that connectivity is there you want to verify that RDP works from one PC to another INSIDE your network. One that you know will respond to a ping when you are AT work (EG no firewalls or stealth mode) I do this all the time and more often than not it is a subtle configuration issue on the PC side.īut first (once your VPN is active) open up terminal and ping one of your servers, network devices, workstations or a printer by IP address.
