i installed vpn and server 2003 onto what i thought was my usb drive, now i dont have internet connection on my comp. my wireless router is working and all other comps have no trouble getting online. i tried sys restore and it said it could not complete restore. also there were windows updates that were installed about the same time. could someone please give me some suggestions on what may be the problem.i am average user, but am looking to learn more, any help will be much appreciated.
im interested in trying to learn about IT. at work they use server 2003 and a vpn. i want to be able to install a similiar getup on my system at home. they run xp pro at work 32 bit. i run win 7 64 bit at home with a wireless router connecting 2 more desktops and 1 laptop. can anyone give me advice on how to make this work if possible? where to start and in which order. also, my isp says that im not allowed to have a server, so does this mean its going to be a problem?
Hello watcher6342,
Could you be a bit clearer about what you want the outcome to be?
As far as I can gather, you're trying to remotely control a computer over LAN. If that's the case, then you won't need to run a Windows 2003 Server, nor will it break any terms and conditions with your ISP. When they say you can't run a server, they tend to mean you can't run a server which accesses the internet.
Anyway, there may be a quicker and easier way to achieve what you want.
Cheers,
Nahumi
I don't think he's looking for another way. He wants to emulate what is being done at work.
I have no experience with Windows 2003 or VPN so can't be of help though. Hopefully one of the other folks can.
