so, i have a home PC running windows 7 pro and a laptop running windows xp pro. what i would like to do is run software from my university, which is installed on my home PC, from my laptop using a remote desktop. however the software must be run through the university vpn for the license to work.

i have been able to connect with remote desktop, however when i try to connect to the university vpn over this connection, using the windows 7 built-in network and sharing center, it cannot connect to the vpn. i should mention the vpn works fine before remote desktop connects.

why is this not working? it must be more complicated than i think it is.

thanks in advance

The vpn is probably trying to direct ALL network activity to the university, which would kill your remote desktop connection and is being blocked from doing so by RDP.
