I have a strange issue. I recently purchased a Lenovo Tablet 2 running windows 8.1. My company uses the Cisco 5.0 VPN client. This client doesn't work with Windows 8 so I found a alternative called Shrewsoft which seemed to work well. My issue is that I can't connect to any computer on my domain when connected to VPN while using the rdp app from metro mode however if I switch to the desktop and launch the rdp app from there I can connect fine. The metro app is a lot more touch friendly so I would prefer to use that one. If I am on the local network (not using VPN) I can connect to computers using the app in metro mode just fine. This is really baffling me. A coworker of mine who has a windows 8.1 laptop and using the same VPN client as me cant RDP from the metro app either so I am thinking it's something specific to my either the VPN client or the metro app. Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?
