Hi
I would like to know how I can remotely logon to my work domain from home.
My home machine runs Win98SE (though I would also like to know if there are any particular settings/considerations that I have to make for other staff using Win2K and WinXP), and the domain is controlled by a file server running Windows2000/SBS2000.
The server has a single network adaptor (for the LAN) and is connected, via the network, to an ADSL router with a built-in firewall (a Draytek 2600).
For example, do I need to log on to my home computer with my company username and password, before logging onto the router via the internet? Will the router automatically pass me through to the Domain Controller and will I be prompted with a domain logon box, or will the router allow me to access the company network without further authentication?
I have looked at various papers from Microsoft on this, but they assume that the server has a direct connection to the internet – no firewall etc, which is not the case here.
If anyone knows of any resources I can access, especially those written from real-world experience, I would be very grateful.
Thanks
