Local Host not found over VPN

[tvGuy]

Problem: VPN users don't see any local hosts or databases when they Open Remote.

Setup: MacMini running leopard is hosting a single database & it's connected to the network in the office. I have two users that are connecting via VPN from their homes (PC & Mac). Upon selecting Open Remote they get a dialogue box without any hosts or databases being displayed.

Should this setup work? What do I need to change?

Make sure that their home network does not have the same ip setup as where they are networking into.

If the router at home is setup to give an ip such as 192.168.1.1 and the network they are connecting to is setup the same way. filemaker will be looking at the home network for the files.

Also make sure they do not load up filemaker until they have connected to the external network.
