Dear Academic IT Experts:
I know this question deviates a bit from the main topic of LLTI, but I am
sure many of you advise faculty members for their administrative use of
technology. I'd appreciate it if you could give any suggestions that may be
relevant to my question below.
<Question> Why can't I access my Windows XP in the office from my home
Windows XP?
<Situation>
(1) The office XP is ready to be accessed. I did access it using the IP
address from another XP in the same building.
(2) Possible Firewall: A friend of mine accessed my office XP (in fact he
reached the screen that prompted him to input user/password) from his home
XP, which was located off campus. So, firewire doesn't seem the issue here.
(3) When I try, I always get a timeout.
I've been doing this with Cisco's VPN. I first connect the college network
wish the VPN.
Then, I try to access my office XP with the IP address. At this stage I
cannot ping the office XP. I know that the VPN is working for me because I
can access the college sites that otherwise I cannot. Apparently only one
channel is open when I use the VPN. I think I read somewhere that VPN
breaks the table of Remote Desk, which is beyond my understanding.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
