High speed internet access - Remote login to server


Expert: Bob Waltenspiel - 5/21/2004

Question
I am a beginner in this field, and have a question.

How does one access a distant corporate server (not web server), maybe running on unix/win-nt, from a local pc on win-xp?  An account is already created in the server for the local pc, and the user-id & password is known.  So, how does one connect to the server in the first place?  

Answer
Just so you know, I am not a network admin, merely a WAN consultant.

There are multiple ways to remotely access a server. RAS, PC Anywhere, Citrix, VPN, etc.

I am assuming the remote server is VPN enabled, if so, you must load the VPN client software on your machine and then you will be able to access the server.

Hope this helps a little.
