Hi all, thanks for the support!

I have a Windows 2003 server plugged in at an isp on a fixed ip address, and
am running SBS2003 on my LAN.

Question: Is it possible to "see" the external Server as part of my network?
(As if i looked under Network Neighborhood) ? and have access to it in terms
of sharing and so forth like any other pc on the network?


Thanks
Sean

Can you set up a VPN site link between the two networks? You can do this
with Windows or, my preference, via two firewall/routers such as Sonicwall.
 
Most simple solution to share files in this situation is
making your server a FTP server. You can then have a
sortcut ftp://server's IP and you can access whatever you
have in your FTP folder.
