LaRcOs Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Hey teleri,If your server is running Windows 2000 Server or 2003 server you could set up a VPN connection through the web.Basically this creates a sort of "Tunnel" between your self and the server- generally encrypted by default - this would then make your computer part of the network - the speed should be pretty good considering its a T1 connection.Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGutts Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 The other option is to use a terminal server, this would allow files and programs to be run on the server, and only the "screenshot" of what you are doing would be sent down the wire.Hope this helps...

BeenThereB4 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 VPN is the way to go for your situation. If you want to do it right considering the rampant security problems today. Look into this:Snap VPNCosts some bucks, so it depends on just how many security and reliability and ease of use concerns you have. You could certainly do it cheaper.
