Hello, I'm trying to connect to my server from outside the office network and I'm having problems. It's an Athlon XP 3200+ with Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, and it's in an office with all the computers networked. I can connect to it using any other computer in the office with the IP address: 192.168.1.105, but I can't from home or anywhere else outside the office. How can I fix this?

How are you trying to connect to your server? If you are trying to access it using the IP you have given here it will never work as this is an 'internal' IP address not a true internet address, so can only be accessed from your internal network. You need to find out your external address (usually asigned to your router) and if it is static or dynamic (dynamic opens up a whole new problem!). You then need a method of connecting to your server/network as your router is almost certainly using NAT, so simply using the IP will just connect you to the router. VPN is the most common method, this can be done with your server if the router supports port forwarding, or many routers/firewalls offer a simpler method of setting up VPN. Dial-up networking is also an option. Wizard ICT. Microsoft Certified Professional
