Make sure you get the IP of the VPN adapter, not the NIC. -----Original Message----- From: Romel Ornedo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 12:02 PM To: John Aldrich; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: VNC thru VPN
if i tell the guy on the remote computer to do "ipconfig"on his computer then it should work. is that right? is it the internal ip or the external ip of the remote computer im going to use? logically from the vpn point of view it should be the internal ip. i will give it a try.. i will let you know.. thanks..

As long as they are on the LAN, even through VPN, assuming no XP firewall or something like that, you should be able to VNC into them.

Scenario: Assuming I am the one of the administrator of the local area network in our office. We have VPN setup in our office to make users connect to the internal network remotely when they are out of the office. With the VPN connection they can all access network resources in my office LAN remotely (shared files, printers, all res! ources which they are permitted using their access/permission rights, etc). My Question: When they are connected to the VPN, assuming I'm the Administrator of the LAN, is it possible to use the REMOTE COMPUTER resources connected to our VPN? It's like when the remote computer is connected and being virtually present inside the LAN then it should be possible also for me (INSIDE the LAN) to see his computer and use the shared files in his computer. The reason I ask this question is I want to remotely control the roaming computers when they are connected to the VPN. Since they already established a remote connection I should be able to initiate a connection also in reverse. But what will be his IP address or the "VPN identification" is using during the communication to address the request from-and-to the remote sites. Is this possible to use VNC under our VPN to remote computers even if they are under a broadband connection or inside a firewalled lan? What are the things to put in considerations? What could be possible problems I will encounter for unsuccessful connection? This is a shot in the dark, im not that techie specifically regarding VPN.
