Remote Desktop connection problem

I have a peer to peer connection with two computers sharing an adsl connection at home. I am trying to connect remotely to a desktop computer at work. The computer (Home server) with the direct internet connection can connect through vpn and remote desktop to the work computer only when the peer to peer connection is disconnected. On the other computer (Home Client) that is sharing the internet connection, I can connect to the office computer via vpn but the remote desktop connect would not work and will not accept username and password. I don't want to reconfigure, but I would like to connect through the Home client computer with vpn and remote desktop to the office computer. Is there anyway I can do that?

Could be the firewall is blocking remote desktop port 3389. From your VPN properties, click the advanced tab and then firewall settings. Under firewall exception tab, see if Remote desktop is checked.

I did that and Remote desktop wasn't checked so I checked it, but it made no difference. I even disabled the mcafee firewalls on both machines and still it made no difference. I am still unable to connect.

Thanks SysLock for your help. I tried a router and it works. I believe Peer to Peer is a problem with a vpn and remote desktop connection.
