Accessing a server through a firewall

by rob hogan . Updated 24 years, 10 months ago

I have a win2k server that I need to be able to access via the internet. My problem lies in the fact that I am using a cable internet connection utilizing NATS and proxy server and I have no access to these to change any settings. I am looking for asolution that would allow me a secure connection to the files on this server. I also have a database on this server that I would like to be able to access via active server pages. The server that acts as the proxy server is at my location but is administered by the cable company. This server does however double as a web server for us. I do have ftp access to the web server but I cannot move the database because I then would have no access to it from my client computers on my intranet(dont know if this may add any options but it cant hurt to mention it). If you need any additional info please email me
