title: VirtualBox, Remote Desktop, and VPN
body: <p>Networking is not a strong skill set of mine and I'm new to VirtualBox..so here we go - </p>
  
  <p>I've got a Windows (XP) VM running on VirtualBox. I am able to use remote desktop to connect to the VM with no problems. </p>
  
  <p>The Problem: I need to connect to another network via VPN on the virtual machine. However, once connected, all local network resources become unavailable. As a result, my remote desktop session is disconnected.</p>
  
  <p>Question: Is there another way to remotely access the VM? Is there some way that VirtualBox can route me to the VM without using the Windows RDC functionality so that I can have an active VPN connection but still control the VM remotely. </p>
