I am having problems RDPing from a Win 7 client to a Win 7 box on the other side of an OpenVPN server. Connecting from my Win 7 client to an XP box works wonderfully.
The destination machines do not require network level authentication (IE they are set to the "less secure" setting). I have removed all of the extraneous features of RDP (printers, flash drives, sound, color depth...down as low as I can)
I establish a OpenVPN connection from home to work, then attempt to RDP to a machine say PC2312332.example.com and it hangs at configuring remote session
.
I can also ping PC2312332.example.com from my client computer command line and an NSlookup of any site shows that my DNS is using my work's internal DNS server, as it should.
Now, the real kicker: rarely it WILL finish connecting and allow you in. Sometimes after as many as five minutes of sitting on configuring. Then it will work fine. Usually even allow you to reconnect if you let your computer go to sleep (and the VPN connection needs to re-establish. Can anyone help me get this working solidly.
I did see RDP over OpenVPN in Windows 8, but it seems to be dealing with the destination not allowing connections in the the OpenVPN interface. Either way, I've turned off the firewalls on the source and destination machines for troubleshooting.
Off campus:
- Win7 Client -> Win7 on campus = hangs at
configuring remote session
- Win7 Client -> XP on campus = Connects very quickly and with fine performance
On Campus:
- Win7 Client -> Win7 on campus = Connects very quickly and with fine performance
- Win7 Client -> XP on campus = Connects very quickly and with fine performance
