Accessing Hosted file via proxy

[Genx]

Hi Guys,

Here's my situation:

HOST

| Internet

Proxy

FM Client trying to connect to host via WAN

Anyway to connect?

Sounds like some kind of VPN tunnelling might be called for...

[Genx]

Lol, I'm already using a VPN to get access to external sites anyway. I'm pretty sure you can't be on two at once?

[jamesducker]

No, I don't think you (as a client) can be on two VPNs at once - but depending on the router setup you may very well be able to connect to one VPN, then using a machine inside that network connect to another.

I'd need to know more about your setup and what you're trying to achieve. Couldn't you find a shorter route? ;-)

Well here's the thing, I'm at Uni two days a week.. and we have a fairly annoying setup where you have to connect first via a cisco vpn client and then further with the proxy... So it's not really a choice.
