Hi Andy NetOp would be first choice for this: http://www.netop.com/netop-13.htm A free trial is available so you can test everything out. Support is pretty good too, should you need any advice. /gustav >>> andy at minstersystems.co.uk 03/17 2:21 pm >>> I have to say at the outset of this that I doubt if this is possible, but I've been instructed to find out so here goes... Customer has two servers - NT Server 4 and Netware 5 on token ring. I say this because any solution that depends on W2K server or W2003 Server is a no go. We've just created a VPN tunnel for the first time from boss's house into the network. We've done some reconfiguring so that everything is accessible via IP (previously some areas were IPX only). All fine and dandy. Can login and has access to everything. However, unsurprisingly really, some apps (notably my major Access app) are slow through the VPN. In conversation I suggest that such apps as these might be better run on a remote control basis so that all we were transmitting was the screen/keyboard. Ok, says he, but now that he's got the tunnel configured, is happy with its security, gets access to all parts of the network that he wants, can he instigate a remote control session via the VPN? He doesn't want to instigate another communication from home into his desktop. He's logged into the network. In essence he wants to now run an app that will change him from being a logged-on user at home to being in remote control of his PC in the office, and then switch back again. God this is probably mumbo jumbo. Or is it? And please - don't forget that any solution that depends on W2K server or W2003 Server is a no go. -- Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk
