RE: Error.htm when using connectcomputer

Jenny,

Thanks for answering. Since I only have a very few computer to deal with, I
will have them join the domain manually. The thing that was bugging me was
the browsing. My personal laptop was already member of the domain, but I
couldn't browse the domain from a remote location while connected through
VPN. I finally understood that this was also a "normal" behavior, and that I
would have to live with it. But even though the computers and share do not
appear on the browse list as they would when connected locally, they are
there and available to use. So it will be more than enough for me and my
users: I will connect to network drives and put some shortcuts on desktops
and it will do the job.

Again, thanks for you help and patience. I will now concentrate my efforts
on securing the whole thing, since the firewall allows everything to get in
for tests purposes. I am thinking of using ISA2004, but I read somewhere
that if I am not familiar with it, I'm better buy a book and read on it
before even installing it.
