RE: [OT] Office Networking questions!!

["Andrew Tedford" <andrew.tedford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Danny,



Sorry not much advice on your setup but a couple of pointers=



File and printer sharing - I have this setup, but there are security
problems with it, you should look at using Netbeui for file and printer
sharing.



If your PC's are XP pro then you can use remote desktop, which there is an
option to use by connecting from another location (i.e. work <> home)



You can buy routers that have VPN enabled (virtual network) which will also
enable to you connect remotely, don't know much about that bit but at least
there's a steer in the right direction



Regards,



Andy

Fellas,


Could anyone help me with hardware questions? I want to be able to work
from

home and see and change all my files at work. I have four computers in my
offices, all networked to a cat5e patch panel. I was thinking of putting a
switch in to network the PCs. I was just going to allow file sharing on all
machines? or I was thinking maybe to have a dedicated machine for all my
work files? My setup is: Four PCs to a Wall cab 24 port patch panel, with a
BT broadband router in the cabinet as well, what else do I need? And what
is

the best way to do it?

Thanks

Danny
