RE: SBS 2008 VPN Network Resources Access Issue

Discovered something else interesting.

Once I login to vpn, of course I cannot access the network resources, but i
also cannot access the sbs server via RDP using an internal IP address of the
sbs server.

So once i log out of vpn, i can access the sbs server via public dns host
record. I am officially..?????
