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.
