The second location has got the server and the connection between your office and that classroom is a vpn kind of connection managed by your IT Department. The only way to reach the other classroom is to use this connection thereby you have to "enter " the school network. In that case it is probably the best solution to use a tunnel ( which would then be a tunnel in a tunnel ;) at the outside. ( internet ) You probably could do it by routing directly without tunneling by makeing a static route from your Bering to the student server .your route to the studentserver haveing only its IP ,this is in effect the situation you have if you nat an external address to an internal server. But I think useing a "tunnel" and thereby isolating the traffic from the local "school" traffic would be better. So IMHO your primary idea was the best :) BTW 1 . Unless you have got experience with ipsec.,I would do the setup with the local boxes at one location untill they work and then transfer the second box to its definitive location, thereby minimizing connection problems with for example a firewall at the IT Departments router. 2. Perhaps it is a good idea to create a second "virtual" connection from your office computer to the student server to be able to remote controll the computer. Also a nice opportunity to play with TC ;) regards and a great weekend also Eric Wolzak member of the Bering Crew > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek > Welcome to geek heaven. > http://thinkgeek.com/sf > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user > SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
