We have a small office network and each of us would like
to access our work computers from our laptops, home
computers or from the road. The office computer has a DSL
router. Each work computer has a static IP address. What
are the proper steps for configuring our individual work
computers and router for allowing remote access?
It seems that we would:
1.enable our work computers running XP Pro to allow remote
connections
2. Install the remote desktop client software on our home
and laptop computers if not running XP Pro.
3. Establish a VPN connection from the client to the host
(which ports need to be given access through the router)
4. Create a remote desktop connection from each of our
home or laptop computers.
Is this correct and could you please provide help on the
port information and if it is possible for more than one
remote user to establish a connection to the office
computers simul;taneously? Also, if connecting via the
internet on computers other than our home or laptop
computers would we use the web based solutions?
Thank you in advance.
