Greetings People,

Is it possible for a user who works remotely, to access a shared network drive, without connecting via VPN???

We use the Cisco VPN at present - but it is proving very unreliable while teams are travelling, Including US, South America, Europe.

I am using Outlook Anywhere as a test, but still need access to shared drives,

It is a fustrating issue, is there a better way??

much appreciated folks

Warren

I know of no way of connecting to network shares when not connected via VPN to your company network.

My company also use the Cisco VPN client and we had problems with our users maintaining connection or establishing a connection on VPN. Over a period of about 6 months I worked on identifying the issue and creating a fix that resolved 90% of the connection issues we were seeing. All this was put into the login.vbs script the Cisco client uses. If you would like to discuss further PM me.
