My University computer is running on Ubuntu 22.04 and have xrdp installed. My home computer is Dell-Inspiron with Ubuntu 20.04. The connection to the University is via VPN Pulse-Secure. The VPN connection is to my University SSL server. When the VPN connection is established, I try to connect to the xrdp server on my University computer using Remmina RDP protocol. The connection fails. This is the output of the Remmina:
me@me-Inspiron:/$ remmina
Remmina plugin glibsecret (type=Secret) has registered but not yet initialized/activated. Initialization order is 2000.
Secret plugin glibsecret has been successfully initialized and will be your default secret plugin
StatusNotifier/Appindicator support: your desktop does support it and libappindicator is compiled in remmina. Good!
Running under Gnome Shell version 3.36.9

Using the same VPN from Windows connects to the xrdp server with no problem. How to I diagnose and fix this issue? Will other remote controls like VNC may work better over VPN?
Thank you
Following @Saxtheowl suggestions I tried to ping internal IP and got this output:
