VPN connection

[Scott Taylor]

Actually this shows how limited my understanding is.  BTW, I knew I would be
caught by Jim on my statement about Bonjour, as I don¹t get it very well.  I
didn¹t think it or Apple Events would route.

Yes, VPN lets me work with my entire home network, but it¹s not all that
important every time.  I am surprised at what you can do through port 80,
but I¹ll give that a try.  It¹s a lot easier (and cheaper) than having to
have a VPN client.  Are you saying that you only have to be connected to the
Internet, start up a Panorama client file, and it automatically connects
without further ado?  Tell me about your Enterprise settings and sharing
settings on the client side, if you don¹t mind.  I am running Enterprise on
a Mac Mini, on Tiger.  Is that enough, as long as I open port 80 to the
outside world?

Maybe I misunderstood.  I generate web pages but I also share Panorama files
from a client while outside my office and open the files as though as I was
on my local network.  Enterprise internet sharing is done via Apache. I do
not use VPN and the only port I have open on my router in the office is 80.
All I have to do is double click a file and it opens and synchronizes like
magic.

I think you are talking about connecting to all devices on your local
network while I am strictly talking about sharing Panorama files remotely.
