Hi, Everyone:

My wife works for a small city (50,000 people) on the east coast. They have
three people employed in their MIS/IT department: One manager, two techs.

She finally received permission from her boss to remote access her files,
but is meeting with a recalcitrant MIS/IT manager. The manager had to be
"directed" to cooperate.

My wife's workstation indicates Windows 2000, so I assume they're using
Windows Server software.

My query is, is this the right Newsgroup for me to post questions concerning
this subject?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Ernie

Here is a link which should answer your VPN questions:

Here is a link with a list of all the MS newsgroups:

I see there is a newsgroup for microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely
and that is probably the one you will want for future questions.
