We are new to the group and have a question around remote connection.
Trying to launch Vantage offsite thru a clientless VPN. We are able
to download and run program on laptop in office, but when launching
from offsite it could not make connection to server. Getting
error: "The network path was not found". Does anyone use Vantage
offsite (ie home) and use a VPN to connect and what are the special
considerations? Are there changes to the config files that need to be
made so that the software looks for the server in a different manner?
Thank you!
Mike

Mike,
Are you able to resolve the internal server name when you are connected?
What VPN are you using (MS, Cisco, etc.)? This could be a case where
your DNS settings for your VPN connection need to be told where your
internal DNS is (basically what IP address).
Not sure what most users on the list use for remote access into Vantage,
but I'd recommend terminal server.
Thanks,

Mike,
Almost always what I see is that the subnet is the same at the remote network as it is in the work network.
So, once again, DNS and routing need to be considered.
You can change the subnet at one of the networks, or add an entry into the hosts file on the remote coputer that points to the vantage server.
Make note, however, that this address can not work if the address is already in use on the remote network.

Mike,
We connect to our network via VPN. I use Microsoft's Server 2003 with the Remote Access Server role.
Running a Vantage session on a laptop via the VPN will work, but is very, very slow to start. I'm talking 6 to 10 minutes.
I ended up taking a used desktop and loading Microsoft Server 2003 with the terminal server role. After setting that up with Vantage you can connect via VPN then run your Vantage session on the MS terminal server using Remote Desktop on XP. It works really good.
FYI
Paul L.

I have never been able to 6.1 or 8.03 to work over a vpn connection.
Our work around was to setup a terminal server at the location were
the Vantage server resides and have the users terminal in and then
connect to vantage. I think the issue is a VPN tunnel adds enough
latency to cause the vantage session to drop or not connect at all.

user and one MES on a VPN connection over 3meg DSL. However if anyone
tries to load a big file or something, it does bog down the client and
they sometimes get disconnects. Some of this could probably be avoided
if we had a router that could do QOS. If the VPN failed, being we only
had one user, we were also looking at using a remote desktop at the host
end rather than a terminal server, because it was a lot cheaper.

Adsl or Sdsl? Adsl, will of course, make a further difference.
I use a T-1, and while not as fast as LAN connections, I have never had a problem once I added the record to the hosts file for to overcome the resolution issue.

Most server-dependant applications (email included) require quite a bit
of upload speed. A typical scenario for most businesses is the DSL with
blazing fast d/l speeds but often very small upload speeds which can
hinder any VPN or outbound connection.
For example, if I am working remotely and need to download to my laptop
or home computer a 5 MB file from the server VIA VPN or any technology
(FTP, etc.) the server must upload that file to me - sure my d/l speed
at my house may be 10Mb, but I'm only has fast as my slowest link.
Chances are, unless you have a dedicated circuit with a major ISP, you
only have 512Kbp/s upload speed or worse - I've seen some with a
128Kbp/s and that is just dog slow for almost any application.
Here's some food for thought. I email a 5MB drawing to 5 outside
recipients it now has to upload 25MB total for all five recipients to
receive the email.
A good link for testing your bandwidth (both up and down load):
http://myspeed.visualware.com/
Speaking of surveys, I'd be interested in seeing what different types of
internet connections everyone has (use the above link):
1. Download speed
2. Upload speed
3. Perceived speed (basically, do you think your connection is
fast or slow)
No need to mention your providers name.

When your VPN is connected can you ping the Vantage database server by
IP and/or name?
If you are using Microsoft VPN , It may be how your RAS routing is
setup.
Vantage 8.00 onwards works fine down a VPN, and is quite thin. Its does
have issues with wireless. It will connect but may drop out
occasionally.
You may want to look at a terminal server and use something like the 2X
Application so users can run applications from the terminal server
without the hassle of using an RDP window
