Re: RWW through VPN?



Brandy,

Well, I've tried connecting through Windows Messenger too, but again, it
DOES NOT work if both of us are behind routers!

I don't want the remote user to connect to RWW since the reason we've used
NetMeeting in the past is for ME to acecss THEIR desktop. So, I'd want them
to VPN into the network so that I can then use RWW to access their destkop.
I wanted to find out if that will work or not.

If not, then how do you propose I get Windows Messenger to work when both of
us are behind routers?
