VPN connection

Jeff,

That¹s all very interesting (and probably fully documented), and I didn¹t
realize it was so easy.  Fortunately, the ³Internet Database Sharing² option
is on by default if a database is set to Shared at all.  I am already setup
with my IP addresses on client to the IP of the server, however it is an
internal address, because I access it internally, even when using VPN.  I
would have to set it to the external address to see it from outside (as well
as open port 80 on the firewall).  Unfortunately, the firewall programming
is very arcane and not something I can do right away, although it can be
done.

I generally don¹t need to use this aspect more than once a year, at a trade
show, so I have lots of time to experiment (and read the documentation).
Thanks for the info.

Scott

Yep. On the server, turn on Internet sharing and set the "Address" to
HTTP://youtIPnumber. On the Client, go to Wizards, Sharing, Available
Servers and click "Add Remote Server". Type in your IP number and the
Enterprise server will appear in the list. Close the window and double click
a shared client. It will open and synchronize. You can find more details in
the Enterprise docs.

I was assuming that you have already shared the database using the
Database Sharing Options Wizard. On this page you need to check the
"Internet Database Sharing" option for each file you want to share
and apply the change before you can share the database remotely..
