Your right that if the server have an external IP then certainly you could access it but I doubt many companies actually do that (put an external IP on an internal sever but it can certainly be done).
Then there is always firewall port forwarding that could allow an internal server to be accessed externally, but in all these cases you need a good system/network admin to ensure its setup and secure. Anyway we are getting off topic, so if we want to continue this discussion we should probably move it to its own thread. But good points Dougc -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Tom Whitmore Sent: Monday, January 21, 2013 12:13 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Unidata 6.1.13/AIX 5.3 Stops Unexpectedly Hi Doug, We use UniVerse instead of UniData, but I understand the tools are the same. You do not need to be on the same subnet or network, but you do need access to the subnet/network for the RPC port. I have successfully connected to external servers without a problem, you may need to use an IP address rather than the host name but that depends on how you have things configured. I would strongly recommend that you use a VPN or a gateway to access your server, this keeps your sever and network secure. I think using VPN is easier to use with the admin tools than setting up a gateway.

Having said that I think that's a great idea, the customer could setup a windows system with the admin tool installed and logmein/gotomypc/etc .... (which would NOT require vpn access) so that he could access the system remotely and run uniadmin Dougc -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Robert Frailey Sent: Monday, January 21, 2013 11:52 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Unidata 6.1.13/AIX 5.3 Stops Unexpectedly Didn't you get Unidata admin tools?
