ps. once you establish a connection with gotomypc to a computer in the
office you can then use remote desktop to connect to any of the other
machines in the office... so they don't actually have to install it on
the server. i haven't ever put it on a server and heasitate doing so
without asking gotomypc if they recommend it or not. if it is installed
on a users workstation then it provides the added benifit of that user
being able to work remotely when out of the office or when home sick...
so i suggest that you have them put it on a specific workstation and use
remote desktop to get to the server.



Chris -

I appreciate your input, even if you didn't notice it was me asking. There
are plenty of areas where I've got things to learn, and I have no problem
asking the group, because of you and a handful of others whose opinions I
happen to respect quite a bit (that happens after years of reading you
guys).

No, this is a "server-only" one-host situation. They don't need access to
the clients, just the one machine that is functioning as the database.

I'm a little pissed about this situation as I had a small but perfectly
functioning network for these guys with room for wireless expansion.
Somewhere somehow, a "management consultant" was called in (to increase
overall office efficiency) and now two additional systems have been added
(unneeded, including replacing the former host) along with what appears to
be a pair of stacked routers that replaced the DI 524 :) So, in effect, this
isn't *my* damned network or problem anymore.

Apparently, my hardware or my remote access solutions just are sophisticated
or sexy enough for someone in the food chain, and that's cool. But whomever
is shoving this Symantec solution down these folks throats ought to have
enough stones to set it up for them too.(g)

Whomever installed the new hardware and software needs to do their job and
set up the remote access as well.

Am I being pissy or am I making sense?

heh
