Re: vpn access from hotel room

Hi Merv

thanks for your reply.

Yes, i have a modem router - a d-link. What ports do i need to setup on the
router and is it under port redirection?

I do not have a static IP, only a domain name that is registered? But i do
not know how that will work?

Do you have to use VPN?
SBS comes with a nice feature called Remote Web Workplace (RWW)
If you have a PC still in the office, you could use RWW rather than VPN
(provided all the ports are setup correctly on your modem/router and in
ISA).
To access RWW (and I'm assuming you're using Exchange as part of your SBS
setup so you would have mail pointers that point to your server) you type
"mail.companyname.com/remote" or whatever your domain may be into your IE
window, but you must add the "/remote" on the end, otherwise you will get an
error.
This will bring you into a login screen where you can login and take control
of your PC in the office and do everything you would do as if you were
sitting at your desk. One thing which we always have with people who have
never used RWW, you must accept the certificate, and you must also install
the ActiveX client otherwise you'll get nowhere.

You could also use Outlook over HTTP (if you are using Outlook 2003, which
you should be as part of your SBS environment) to read your email from
anywhere. The knowledge base article is KB 884506 on the microsoft website.
There are also some server side settings that need to be configured in
exchange, the knowledgebase article is KB833401

Hope that helps somewhat.

hi

can someone please point me in the right direction as i have not got a
clue
on setting up VPN?

I have sbs 2003 server and ISA 2000. My server has two nics and external
nic is attached to a d-link modem.

i would like to use VPN to access the server from my hotel room and read
mail access my files.

I do not want to dial into the server. I just want to be able to access it
from the internet using VPN.

I am using windows xp sp2.
