SQL Access with Cisco Systems VPN Client Active and Connected

Here’s a quick question for anyone out there with SQL connectivity and VPN access experience.

I’m trying to figure out why I can no longer connect to a SQL database within my local network when I’m connected to a VPN into another network.

As you can see from the above setting in the VPN client, I’ve got the “Allow Local LAN Access” checked.

Is it just not possible? Am I confused about what “Allow Local LAN Access” actually means? I can still connect to other network shared directories and machines on the LAN. I just can’t get access to anything through Microsoft SQL Server Studio and no applications that connect to a database on the network will connect either.

Here’s the error message I receive when I try to connect to the other database via SQL Server Management Studio.

Working on looking into those settings now.

I’m running Windows XP Pro SP3 and the SQL database I’m trying to connect to in in the LAN is running on a Vista Business laptop.
