TSWeb Help

[Koie Smith]

Scenario and Question

Windows 2003 Server with 2 NICs, One is configured with a public IP address,
the other is configured with an internal IP address for the LAN.

Windows 2003 Server is running TSWeb that is accessible from the internet.
Is it possible to use the ip address of a machine on the internal network
and connect to it without connecting a VPN first?

If connecting to TSWeb from the Internal network, i can use the IP address
of any other machine on the internal network and connect without any
problem.

Thanks,
Koie Smith

If you access the TSWEB from inside the LAN, using the private IP
would work... If you access the TSWEB from the internet, they would
NOT be able to connect...

The TSWEB client runs on the remote computer, so it will only be able
to connect to machines that it can connect to (which will not include
your private LAN if you aren't connected via VPN)
