Hi Randy,
        Remote desktop should work fine if you use your clients virtual
address.  This should be of the form 10.228.0-7.x for the standard
gatorlink VPN, or a larger range within 10.228/16 for the dept specific
VPNs.  Your IP will bounce around a bit, but both the full tunnel and
/campus tunnels should work if you hit the correct IP.  I will try it
again at home tonight over Cox just to confirm.  What version of the
client are you using BTW?  I don't know that I have tried RDP with the
3.x client, but have with the 4.x client.

Thanks
Chris
