I would like to remote desktop from my Macbook to my Work's laptop from home. I connect to the work's network via Cisco VPN.
My Cisco VPN clients connects fine in Mac OS X but I am unable to remote desktop. I am also unable to ping my work laptop.
The laptop is powered on and not sleeping. I can access it via LogMeIn.
If I were to actually pug into our network at the building. I can remote desktop to my work laptop from my Macbook.
If I use a Windows virtual machine and connect using the Windows Cisco VPN client, I am able to RDP and ping my work laptop.
What is wrong with my OS X VPN connection?

I know with my MacBook Pro, I can not connect to ANY machine via local DNS name (i.e.
SERVER
orOWNER-PC
), but I can connect to remote DNS names (i.e.www.something.com
). Can you connect via IP address after connecting with the VPN?
