Please provide more details.<br />
Which kind of Cisco VPN? The legacy IPSec or AnyConnect (SSL)?<br />
Do you start the Cisco VPN in the RDP session or on your client?<br />
<br />
Most Cisco VPN connections are configured to redirect Internet traffic thru them, and to cut off any local access. That is probably the reason.

<div>
Connects over IPSEC / UDP<br />
<br />
Is there a way to set static routes for all RDP traffic that wont be wiped when connecting to the VPN<br />

<div>
please check mtu size and packet fragmentation between two points. <br />
use windows command line &quot;ping [rdp address] -l 1500&quot; if you can not ping you have to adjust mtu over VPN concentrator.
</div>


<div>
I don't have access to that, its a customer VPN so i've no admin rights to it. Any other Ideas?
</div>


<div>
As said, if the Cisco device does not allow, you can't trick it.<br />
However, this seems to be a VM - maybe a VMware? The VM console still works.
</div>


<div>
Yes, vmware esxi. However the end users dont have access to the host or console.
</div>


<div>
If you are limited to using RDP (because you need multiple sessions), then &quot;you can't do that&quot; is the only answer.<br />
VMWare Sessions can be deployed via Browser plug-in - that is what we do with such Cisco connections (we use the old VMWare Server 2 for that, because it is much more simple to use in this context).

I'm RDP'd into a VPN when I connect to a Cisio VPN I lose my connection and have to log onto the console to disconnect before being able to reconnect.<br />

Does anyone have any Ideas? I can provide more information if needed.

RDP session dies when connecting to VPN

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
