I have a user that is going to be moving to an office in another city for a
couple of months. Problem is he will still need to use a server based
SQL-driven application to do his job (EBM). I have talked to EBM's support
and they state that the application should work as long as he still has the
proper drive mapped. The user has a laptop and there will be no desktop
available here for him to do the Remote Desktop thing so I have to do this
via VPN. I tried using the VPN connection that was set up via Remote
Connection Manager and that did not work good. It took forever trying to
open anything and the application would finally time out or get a read error
after several minutes. I then set up the VPN manually via the instructions
on www.smallbizserver.net (Thanks Mariette and Marina). Same problems
happening still. I also received an error stating that the SBS client
configuration encountered a problem and would have to close.

Network is set up as follows:
SBS2003 Premium
W.S. is using XP Pro
2 NIC
DSL
I have the firewall on the DSL modem wide open while trying to get this to
work.
VPN enabled on server via the Remote Acess Wizard.
User is a mobile user.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Case closed. Finally got hold of tech support that new what they were
talking about and found out that the program was not written for and was
never intended to be used from a remote location.
