remote node -- next problem
Thu, 26 Jul 2007 14:57:08 GMT
Thanks to Peter I can now log in to a peer network at my home, that is, 
LOGON gives me a two-item box to fill in.  The command NET VIEW at the 
office shows other machines on the network, but it also shows my own 
machine.  At home I would expect to see my own machine as well.  
(Actually, it's the only machine on the network right now.)  But NET VIEW 
says only, "There are no entries in the list," even though I'd set a 
directory as available for sharing. Also, the GUI "File and Print Client 
Resource Browser" cannot find any resources.

What's the next step?  (The ultimate goal is to VPN the office and home 
machines together.  I'm trying the injoy firewall, though I'm beginning to 
despair of my chances of getting it to work within the 30-day trial 
period.  FX.dk won't answer my emails no matter whether I tell them I'm an 
existing user of version 1.4 or a prospective buyer of some 3.0's.)

Thanks, Leszek.  That was it exactly.
