Hi all, good forum glad to see there is help out there.
I have a question on VPN for Small Business Server.
I have a small business server that has just been given a static IP address from Road Runner, the road runner modem is connected directly to the gigabyte nic that is resident in the back of the server (dell,on motherboard)there is also a second nic (linksys,10/100) this is connected to a linksys wireless router, that then links to a dell switch that connects to 3 workstations using win xp pro.
There is also 2 laptops using win xp pro.
The linksys has the DHCP disabled on it and VPN allowed.
I have made users and loaded them into the server and can log on no problem.
But can anyone answer a couple of questions for me please?
is this the best order to set the routers?
I can log Remote desktop from my frontier connection at home to the server, but when i connect using VPN it connects (i can see the 2 computer screens bottom right)but doesnt seem to do anything other than that, no folders or anything from the server(even though the users folders have a share in the server)
What I am trying to do is 1 have a VPN connection for myself so that I can allow websites or just generally look after users machines or server.
2 make a connection for my boss to use quick books away from the office ( i know the database has to be on server) she will be using her workstation in the office and her laptop when away.I have added all the user templates, remote, user , etc.
we need wireless running as well as the bosses daughter uses internet when the office (which is there house as well) is closed.
Hope I didnt just confuse everyone more!
any help would be appreciated
Many thanks
Mick
