Hi,
I have a client who needs to the ability to connect to his laptop to
his office network from home. Because of the software he uses uses a
lot of graphics to dumb things down
? Not sure what "dumb thingsdown" means....if you mean he uses AutoCAD,
Photoshop, etc., that works just fine using Remote Desktop to a WinXP Pro
computer. It's a bit slow, yes - but it works. Terminal Services, on the
other hand, won't work for many apps like that.
RDC is not an option. What kind
of low cost and simple VPN solutions does everyone recommend? I have
SBS 2003 (not R2, no ISA) and a Sonicwall TZ150 firewall/router.
Thanks for the help,
Dan
But VPN is something you've already got - both PPTP in SBS, and likely also
in your SonicWALL.
However, I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish with this, as VPN itself
is not a very useful solution for "live" remote access. He should not expect
to open & work with his files directly over VPN,especially if they're
graphics-heavy, or databases, or large, or just plain important. . He could
*copy* them or *sync* them to his local worktation using VPN, and then open
them locally, but that gets into all other sorts of problems.
