Reader Bob Crook sent us the following, which I thought I would put out for discussion; over to Bob:
I have a branches-to-main office situation where all users/networks connect to each other by VPN. If you run the Connector Software from a branch computer despite there being a WHS at the main office, the computers at the branch cannot find the WHS. Only simple networks work. Anyone found a way round this?
NB: VPNs rely on a different IP network at the branch sites, for example the main office is 192.168.0.#, but each of the branch networks is on a different network for the VPN to work.
Feel free to leave your comments to this question for Bob.
