Is there a way to access a VPN connected machine remotely besides PCAnywhere or Terminal Services? I am trying to connect to my machine at home which is connected to my work's VPN but everytime I use terminal services or pcanywhere, those applications shut down once connected to the VPN. This is because all tunnels are blocked and one is kept open for a secure VPN connection, security feature. One option is to enable split tunneling on the switch side of the VPN but thats impossible since i don't have access to that switch. Are there any software that goes around this?

I really wish I can access my work's VPN with my mac. The VPN feature with Panther is not sufficient. It doesn't have the option to put a group ID and password like I use with a Nortel client.

Anything helps! Thanks.

Not sure I'm following you on this one. You are saying that once your home machine connects to the corporate VPN you cannot access this machine from within your corporate network that your home machine is connected to?

Or, is this VPN tunnel up on your home machine and you cannot access your home machine from somewhere other than the corporate network your home machine is connected to? I need clearer details.
