I am wanting to remote network our 2 branch offices. All of the offices have a Windows NT 4.0 file server running. The officed are connected to the internet through DSL or cable. How can I get my workstation to connect to the other networks through the firewall/router then be able to control their workstation? I have done some searching and found programs that allow me to control other workstations locally, but I havent found one that allows me to get out through the internet and back into the other offices.

Thanks for any help

Jon

Which product are you using for LAN stealth security and for remote management?

The mainoffice uses the linksys cable/DSL Router (BEFSR11) The branch office has a Netopia Caymen 3300 series DSL router. The other Branch office is not running DSL yet, but should use the same router because the same Telco will be providing the DSL. The routers at each location are connected to the LAN Switches and the router controls the DHCP for the LANs.

Thanks

At both ends, setup ZoneAlarm (latest version). For ease of use, reliability and stability, run with Dameware Utilities.

Hey Jon,

At the risk of sounding naive, I do remote support out of my SOHO. My customers and I use pcAnywhere and when they need my support they startup their pcAnywhere in "host" mode and send me an email (which has their IP address). I then update their entry at my side and connect and do whatever is required.

While we use the simplest implementation, there are additional options for firewalls, etc. to define a complex environment.

Cheers!
