We have a guy from another company comming in to see us tommorrow and he wants to be able to connect to his server from our workstation. I have set up an account for him and added him into the VPN users group, what else do i need in order for him to be able to connect to his server remotely from our workstation?

    depends on the design of your network

    ask your network admin ?

    Why did you add him to the VPN users group? Isn't that for people connecting to you? He shouldn't need that in order to go out to his server.

    Is there anything on your network, such as a firewall that would prevent him from accessing his server?

    How's he going to connect to his server? Remote desktop?

    HIS network admin would have to give you that information.

    Generally, all he'd need is access to the Internet, but there is no way you could know that for sure without talking to someone.

    @ Lee

    You can connect to a 2k Server, but not a 2k workstation
