Working from home - Cannot access remote desktop

mpearso2 — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 17:31:49 GMT

I have recently started working from home and have to connect to a VPN then access a remote desktop - Citrix Receiver.

I am able to connect to the VPN, but am not able to access the remote desktop whilst using my talktalk internet.

If I connect to the internet via a hotspot on my phone, then I am able to access the remote desktop fine.

My scam protection is switched off.

I have a DSL 3782 router, which I understand has previously had issues in allowing people to connect to VPN's/ remote desktops.

The IT department at my work say that I need to contact my internet provider and ensure that Citrix Receiver is unblocked. I have spoken to a few people on live chat/ phone and they either couldn't understand or couldn't help.

Thanks.

Hi mpearso2

Apologies for the delay.

I think we should send a new router, would you like me to arrange this?

No problem. This will be a Sagemcom WIFI hub.

Thanks Debbie. Please can you also just confirm that I won’t be charged for the new router?

Hi mpearso2

There will be no charge for this router. Please can you return the old router using the pre paid returns bag.

Thanks
