Hi Al, Yes, you will need to get a hold of the appropriate Cisco client. I don't know off the top of my head if this is something you can download from Cisco directly. You may need to obtain the client software from whoever hosts the network this server is on. Once you make a VPN connection, you would connect to the remote server using any of the methods you mention. You will need to know the presumably private IP address of the server. Also, be aware that some versions of the Cisco client will disconnect you from your standard IP gateway while you are connected to the VPN.

I can't really warrant getting a VPN box myself as they are expensive but I need to make contact with the server to update it. Before I used the windows remote desktop connection but that wont work. What do I need to do here to get in without the expense. Can I get a software client. And how does it work. Do I have to connect then use the VPN with remote connect or is it as if it's a drive on the network.
