Enable RRAS as a VPN and I lose RDP

Hello!

Strange problem here! I will give you a quick background.

I have two servers, both are configured as domain controllers. One is
at my house, the other I have racked here at work. I use the one here
at work to test stuff that I dont want to break my network at work.
Even though my two domain controllers are at different sites I want to
set them up to be able to talk and replicate through VPN over the
internet.

I installed RRAS on the one I have here at work and as soon as it
enabled my remote desktop connection to it got dropped and I was no
longer able to connect through remote desktop. Is there a reason
remote desktop would no longer work once RRAS is set up as a VPN?

I guess a side question would be...is that really a good way to do
what I am trying to do? Install VPN on one of them, have the other
connect to it and then set up two sites in AD and schedule
replication?

Thanks in advance!
