Hello,

A client gave me a laptop to set up with an Aircard and wants to be able to
connect to his server remotely. There is nothing in the aircard software in
which to configure a VPN. Can someone either describe how to configure the
machine to logon to terminal services or set up a VPN or direct me to some
instructional content? The server is Windows Business Server 2003 and I
believe Terminal Services is active. I am not experienced in Networking and
don't know where to begin.

Thank you for any help and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam

Hi Mark,

This connection has nothing to do with the Aircard. The Aircard is just
connect the laptop to the internet.
Once connected you can connect to the VPN or to the Terminal Service Server.
In order to connect to VPN you need more details, I would recommend you to
contact the IT support of the company providing VPN access to that user. With
regards to the Terminal Services, you also need details, such as external IP
address of the Terminal server and the user need logon information
(credentials), after that you star Remote Desktop Client on the laptop, enter
IP address, once connected provide login details and logon.

Kudrat.

Thanks for your response. I mentioned the Aircard just for background info
to show what I am trying to accomplish. The IT dept of this company is a
guy out of town, who doesn't respond to questions and infrequently shows up
onsite anymore. I'm an Access developer and being handed of some of his
tasks. Not a problem though, I just have no networking experience and
trying to learn as I go along. If I can determine the IP address of the
server, it might be helpful. I typed ipconfig as a command prompt, but
don't think that is what I need. The IT guy has a static address pool set
up in the IP tab os the server properties which includes that IP address.
So if I can determine the IP address to access the server remotely, I think
I can figure it out.

God Bless,

Mark

I think I am getting close. I found the IP address issued by Time-Warner
and set up a VPN profile on the client machine specifying the IP, the domain
name, and authentication. I think it is a matter of establishing the
correct remote access policy on the server I am trying to access. Does
that sound reasonable?

Hi Mark,

To be Frank I do not quite understand what you are trying to achieve.
I would still higly recommend you to invite a specialist and ask him to fix
everything and hand it over to you.
