Jerry, thanks for the help. I actually have VPN set up, and can connect the two clinics that way. However, I cannot browse the server from the client, (the folder I need *is* set to "share"), or map a network drive on the client that points to the server. The "microsoft expert help" newsgroup that I found so far has no idea why I can connect via VPN but not browse or map a drive.
My most basic need is to access the client database on the server; we've been using remote desktop via Dial-up-networking, which (I guess) is like VNC in that it takes over the "server"; we could continue that way, but since we added the DSL, I cannot print from remote desktop to my local printer at the remote clinic. I'm guessing this is a port forwarding problem, as I can add a printer that is physically at the remote clinic to the server with no problem by typing in \\computername\printername in the add printers wizard. (it just doesn't print, and I get no error messages) However, I have no clue what port to forward to fix this. I would prefer to be able to map that network drive, but at this point, whether I access the client database via a mapped drive, Remote Desktop, or something else, it's getting to where it doesn't matter how, just as long as it's successful.
