Recommendation

Using the Internet, If I wanted to set up a Wireless Win2K Laptop to be able
to connect to my home desktop Win98se machine through a router, what is the
best most efficient way to do so, VPN, Netbios direct, or something else?

My ISP has assigned a static IP address and I have a NetGear router.

Please advise where I can find the set up procedures.

Thanks!

Tom

I suggest that you use TCP/IP. You will probably need to assign a static IP
address to your Win98 system that is in the same network as your Win2K
Laptop and configure both systems to be in the same workgroup. This article

PattyL,

All that is done and TCP/IP is set up. I can access both machines in both
directions with my home office network.

Where can I find the procedures for accessing the home office machine over
the Internet while I am wirelessly remote using TCP/IP? I believe there
are specific IP addressing procedures that must be used.

Thanks

Tom
