    how can i log into a domain which is behind firewall

    I do have the administrative access to the WatchGuard SOHO firebox 6 and the domain behind it. How can I log into that domain from the outside. Do I have to create a VPN. This is only one laptop that i would like to be able to access the inside. does the lap top have to have static ip ... is there another solution

    Sounds like you need a VPN. Does Watchguard SOHO allow it ?

    watchguard soho is a vpn client designed to connect to a firebox 2/3. the easiest thing to do would be to allow pcanywhere tcp:5631 udp:5632 and use it to connect threw the soho to a machine you've mapped to inside with pcanywhere waiting

    yes its a little red firewall thats also a vpn client. uses linux as an os. it has four local ports, one wan port and one marked "OTR" that they never came up with a use for.

    you could use realvnc its free from ORL not as secure but ive never heard of anyone with a strong password having any problems with it. im sure others will give you more choices like securevnc and such but ive never worked with them. to allow it its tcp:5800 and tcp:5900. i only use sohos as vpn clients but ill rtfm tomorrow and let ya know

    pcAnywhere is a client/server remote terminel application made by symantec. its really pretty good but not cheap. vnc is free, doesn't have as big a footprint and only requires a 567k client on the remote to connect or you can use your browser and connect to the java applet on the server.

    Use a VPN to get into the remote network and use RDP to manage the windows 2000/xp machines on the "other" side.

    You can implement a SSL tunnel for RealVNC to pass through. That is what I do.

    rabit, my appologies! you can connect up to 6 vpn applications on a soho before you need a firebox II/III.

    the process is discribed on pages 84 - 94 of your "watchguard firebox soho6 user guide" if you dont have it ill scan those pages for you.

    thnx guys for your time, i have more questions, though...

    1. does the Firebox need to be set to accept connection from a specific IP becuse i have only a dynamic cable at my house

    2. how can i log into the inside/local domain server (active directory) and use the inside resources as if i would be local. the inside IP's are on a 192.168.x.x range
