Act Syncing Simple question

We use Act 603 on a lan.
The Database is small: 10 users and 1300 contacts.
All ten users use the same single Dbase file on the server.

Two users now have portable PC's and travel.
I did set up the 2 users with their own dbase on their laptop. (shared folders) Everything seems to work fine.
However not all data is now visible for all the people on the central database. F.I. if the remote user sends a fax (or so) the administrator can see the attachements in the dbase but the other inside salespeople can not.

Questions:
1) Is it possible to have a central database with 8 users and two remote users. sharing data like this or does every user now needs its own copy of the database file on their own PC and do I need to set up syncing for every user?

2) Can I setup sync users on a central database file and solve it this way?
(Of course I tried but I can not get it to work!)

Your help will be much appreciated.

Blabla
