    VPN OK - but SSH can't leave remote network

    Thanks for that suggestion. I hadn't even thought of that! Good news: I can now SSH to my server :) I'm still wondering though why I can't use the SSH through the VPN and out like other services (like HTTP which I know works through the VPN). Thanks again, Steve -- Steve Root...

    Can not access the Internet

    Its an option in the Windows XP VPN client - you won't be using that if you are going router to router by VPN. May be a bit more info on how your set up is would be useful, EG hardware details Regards Steve -- Steve Root http://www.rootskitchens.co.uk

    ykfc said "I don’t have previous vpn experience at all. I've got broadband connection but for some reasons I could only start testin my vpn connectivity to the server via dial-up internet." Not sure I follow correctly. A VPN looks like this. Site A > [VPN over internet] < Site B So to test...

    Can not access the Internet

    Try checking the following: In your VPN client software, is "use gateway on remote network" checked? This sends all the traffic through the VPN, rather than directly to the internet for web traffic (eg web pages). It may be that your office network is not letting you see the internet when you...

    Can a database server store its files on another network server?

    thanks svanels, you've confirmed what i thought, and i've since discovered that a NAS with mirrored disks costs just as much a server! Now, where did I leave the piggy bank.... -- Steve Root http://www.rootskitchens.co.uk

    Can a database server store its files on another network server?

    Strange question i know but.. Our small office is growing, I need to either a) buy some network attached storage or b) buy a proper file server. I would rather do a) as it is cheaper and simpler, and still allows me to organise backups of all our data. However, I expect next year we will need...

    Now i'm really confused! I was always taught by my Math teachers that if you have 97.825 but you only want to show 2 decimal places, you round it up to 97.83. But i have two controls on the same form, one rounds up to .83, the other rounds down to .82! Please help, all i want is a consitent...

    Thanks Walt, but i dont quite understand. I still dont know how to select the customer from the combobox.
