| 552856 | 2007-05-25 00:35:00 | I have a situation where a client wants to be able to access their server remotely - ie work from home, over the web. They need to be able to do everything on their home PC that they would be doing if they were at the office. System is running Windows Small Business Server 2003. Is it possible to set something up, I was thinking along the lines of PC Anywhere. Would this work and how much of a nightmare will it be setting the whole thing up? |

| 552858 | 2007-05-25 03:07:00 | If they have SBS2003 then no need to buy anything more! They would obviously have a PC that they use at work running Windows XP Pro?? Well, that's what you need to have access to the SBS2003 anyway. Do they have a static IP for their internet connection? If not go to www.no-ip.com and setup a no-ip host. eg: sbs2003.hopto.org Download the No-IP software and install it on the server and configure. What you need to do is run the 'Connect To the Internet' wizard if it hasn't already been done then run the 'Configure Remote Access' wizard. Use your no-ip host to create a server certificate in the wizard. You will need to open a few ports on the internet router: 443, 444, 1723 & 4125 and forward them to the SBS2003 IP address. You should now be able to access, over the internet, the SBS2003 Remote Web Workplace by going to your no-ip host You will get a message about the certificate not being from a trusted providor but that's OK, just install it. Once logged into the Remote Web Workplace you can check emails and log into any of the machines on the work network using Remote Desktop. |

| 552859 | 2007-05-25 03:07:00 | Heres a link to the thread that I started on remote access pressf1.pcworld.co.nz I m using logmein to access my pc at home. But since you are dealing with the server for a company than you might want to consider security as your first option. Logmein is secure but I am not sure about using it to access company servers.. |
