I recently began using my magicjack and it works fine on my home computer. I work from home and log in to my work computer using a remote desktop connection. The problem is that for security reasons, when I log in to my work computer I can no longer access the internet through my home computer connection. All internet use must be through the work connection. The problem is that since MJ uses the internet connection on my home computer it stops working when I connect to my work computer. Is there a way I can have MJ work while I'm remotely connected to my work computer?
Thanks

Re: Magic Jack when using Remote Desktop
Other than taking it with you to work I don't see how. BUT if there is a way I am sure others will chime in.magicjack37 wrote:I recently began using my magicjack and it works fine on my home computer.

Of course if ATA wasn't having problems right now that would be a way..

Are you launching a VPN client to access your work computer? If that's the case, your VPN client does not allow for split tunneling, so that's why your magicJack isn't working. No workaround available. It's a security feature of the VPN to protect your company network from outside attacks.
