It can't be *that*
difficult, can it???
----------
Perhaps I'm just being
incredibly naieve (or
possibly incredibly
dense), and I'm hoping
someone here can
enlighten me a
bit.
I work for a
Veterinary clinic with
two offices. In the
past, we had to share our
client database over a
dialup connection and
remote desktop. Easy as
pie. Add incoming
connection on the
"server" (just the
computer that the
database resides on, no
special software besides
what comes standard with
XP Pro), add a dial-up
connection on the
satelite clinic's
computer that dials the
modem on the "server",
once connected, start
remote desktop, login,
bada boom, done. I could
map network drives,
access the server hard
drive from the satellite
clinic without having to
use remote desktop,
though remote desktop was
the fastest way to access
the clinic software that
used the client database.
Worked exactly like I
wanted, though slowly
(33.6k connection
speed).
NOW, we
have DSL at both clinics.
Is it really that hard
to get the "server" and
the computer at the
satellite clinic to talk
to each
other?
I've tried
everything I can think
of, but can't seem to get
the "server" to recognize
that someone wants to
connect. I'd love to
have a direct connection
like I had with the
dialup (but faster!) and
Remote Desktop is still
an option, but can't get
a connection between the
clinics to
work.
If someone
could point me in a
direction where I can
start some sort of
resolution to this
(pulling my hair out
screaming) problem, that
would be
super.
Here's the
naieve (or moronic) part:
Why the heck doesn't
"Accept incoming VPN" +
"Connect to my VPN at
work" =
connection?
Thanks
