I have a NT 4 PDC server behind a firewall in Singapore, i have 2 workstations (NTworkstation, Win2k Pro) in Hong Kong would like to log on to the domain in singapore every working day. what are the procedures i should do?

my thinking:
1) get aleased line in Hongkong
2) setup RAS in NT 4 Server
but how do i make the the workstations in Hongkong able to find this doamin in singapore during setup and subsequent log on?

you'll need to create a connection to the server on each workstation. I don't know how to do it in NT4, but in win2k, right-click on my network places, properties, make new connection. Choose 'connect to a private network through the internet' andjust follow the wizard. It will ask you for the IP of your server, what users will have access to that connection, etc.

here is a link that shows you how to setup a connection on NT Workstation.

Which firewall do you have there? Usually commercial firewall software (PIX, CheckPoint, etc.) have embedded VPN capability. I don't reccomend you to use Microsoft PPTP. It's acceptible as "last resort, if you don't have anything else... For example, if you have Cisco PIX firewall installed there, you may install Cisco VPN Client on your PCs, make it available for all users and you will have VPN login prompt before NT login prompt. Sure you should tell NT that you is part of Hong Kong domain. Examples of PIX and Client configurations you may find on Cisco's website.

But if you want to have big and long relations with Microsoft... :-)

In this case I would recommend install Windows 2000 server in Hong Kong, open ports on Firewall, makeNAT and pray to not to be hacked...

Good luck.
