I have VPN access setup on my Secure Computing Router. The Router also has a firewall. At home, I can get on our LAN and access our servers. My home access is DSL. The work LAN is a domain LAN. All the workstations and my home PC are Windows XP. Some SP2 and some SP3. A contractor with a Vista laptop has access trouble. From some locals (A different corp LAN and I think from home), he has no trouble accessing our LAN and getting on our servers. But if he is at a hot spot, he often can’t VPN to our network at all, or if he can, ends up having access trouble with our servers. Does it have something to do with the firewall on the router? This will become an issue for me as well, as I will want to be able to do remote support from some place other than home and was considering a netbook with Windows 7 when that is available.
