Is the SQL server being statically NAT'ed in any way? I'm having a similar issue accessing a static NAT box by its outside domain name when connected to another network by a cisco VPN client and split tunneling. Have you found a resolution for this?

Is the SQL server being statically NAT’ed in any way?

I’m having a similar issue accessing a static NAT box by its outside domain name when connected to another network by a cisco VPN client and split tunneling.

You can connect to SQL when you are at the location the SQL server is located or at least on a corp lan. You then go home and VPN in and you cannot connect to the SQL server? I was thinking the SQL server was on your local LAN and you were VPNing into another company which was breaking your connection to the SQL server. If the SQL server is at the remote end of the VPN connection and you cannot connect they are either blocking the ports or the remote IPs to connect directly to the SQL server. Not much you can do unless you can get them to open up access for you on the VPN connection. I think I am misunderstanding the situation.

In order to get into SSMS from the VPN, I use remote desktop and connect directly to the server that its running on. Our VPN has all ports blocked EXCEPT Remote Desktop and SSH.

I would try both with and without the local lan box checked. Ah, Try adding the route again but use your regular IP, not the one given through VPN.

Can not ping when I'm VPN'd. I used the IP address given by the VPN connection. No SQL server and machine are on different subnets. Can not ping when I’m VPN’d.

I used the IP address given by the VPN connection.

You said you can't ping it when you are connected to VPN. When you did the route add did you use your local IP address or the IP address given to you by the VPN connection? You can do a route print and that should tell you where all the traffic is going to go. Is the SQL server on the same subnet as your machine?

IP of local machine is not in subnet of VPN network. I didn't uncheck the local lan option. I can connect with no problems whatsoever when I’m not connected via VPN.
