FMS 5.5 & VPN!!!

[Navigating]

Hi,

This may not be new to some but I found an issue with VPN Adapters & FMS 5.5.

I had to install a SonicWall VPN Adapter for a client so I could log into their Term Serv. When the adapter was enabled I could not see the FM Hosted files in the Host dialog box but when the adapter was disabled everything was fine.

I was having the same issue with a very big client. But I logged in to their Term Serv and found that they had a Hamachi vpn adapter running and once it was diabled again everything was fine!!! I don't know about you but I am sooooo glad that this worked. However, does anyone know if there are settings within these adapters that will not block FM?

Thanks, Sheryl

I don't know anything about VPN Adapters, but I've set up VPNs between SonicWalls. You may need to tell the host network's firewall to allow FileMaker or Terminal Services traffic in from the remote VPN connection.
