I'm using GlobalProtect from Palo Alto to establish a connection to another location. Then I try to use windows remote desktop to a machine (by IP or computer name) and get the following error:

"Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons: ..."

If I browse to a network share on the machine first (by IP, or computer name, asks for credentials), remote desktop will work. I have to do this every time I connect to VPN, although it seems this doesn't always fix the problem. (Trying to troubleshoot this issue right now, I can no longer connect remote desktop).

Any idea how to successfully connect to remote desktop?

windows 7, x64, let me know any other required information.

Once I'm connected, everything works fine.

Telnet, before browsing network share:

C:\Windows\system32>telnet [ip] 3389
Connecting To [ip] ...Could not open connection to the host, on port 3389 : Connect failed
