With remote desktop you will still need some way to connect your local LAN to your partner's LAN. If you are using hte remote assistance to setup the remote desktop you would be better with the Hamachi free version and just start it when you need the access.

Were it my business and had to do it a few times per year I would just get the $50 per year Hamachi as a service and be done with it. Drop one of the licenses on a laptop and check things when you are on the road as well.

Setup as a service you can map the raid as a drive on your system and vice versa.

Jeff, with all the dust and crap storms you get, are you going to put a ceramic coating on the paint after he is done?

My business partner and I both downloaded Hamachi to see how it would work. All we could do was open a chat window with each other. Shades of 300 baud modem days. No files, or desktop or anything else. Maybe we are just stupid.

In the past we had Tight VNC working as we needed but that all went away when we started our own company. We may try Tight VNC again.

Nah, the dust is only bad this year because of the current drought. It was like this about 20 years ago, otherwise it's not really something that happens too often. It's never been painted since it was put there in 1973, so the original paint (colourbond) is pretty thin. On Wednesday, I'm getting a simple white gloss that the boffins reckon will take at least 8degC out of the roof.

Then about 20-25 PV panels are going up there.

Odd. Hamachi should show your computers as part of a virtual network.

With a host on your NAT router you should be able to access one machine on each network using the public IP address, or name (with dynamic dns if you have dynamic IPs).

At least that's how my Apple NAT routers work.

I pay more for business internet so I can have 5 static public IP addresses. Mainly for a mail server, mail delivery does not like dynamic IP's.

The network admin at work put all the private IP adress ranges on works VPN. So cant use IPs to access other machnines on my own private network. Thank goodness all the Apple compatible stuff uses Bonjour instead of IP addresses. Just leaves my work PC off my local private network cause it can't use IPs unless I turn off the VPN.

I use the AirPort router now.

Neither of us got into our routers configurations.

First you need to get a dynamic dns account so you can find your public IPs. They sometimes change when your router changes it's lease info. Dynamic DNS uses an app to know when your public IP has changed. You can always goto glen.cms-okc.com or rich.cms-okc.com no matter what IP you are assigned.

Then you need to log into your router that is doing your NAT, ie giving each computer a private IP on your private network to you cable modem. And set one of your private IP as a host. Which routes public computers that try to find a host on your public IP to you private IP hosting the service. Most home routers allow just one private host. This will be required to access a private IP from another device using the internet.

Then configer a firewall on the host computer to only allow login to specific services and users.

Dynamic dns will help you find each other's public IP by using a domain. You won't have to check your IPs before you try to log-in.

VPN usually requires server software on the hosting network, and client software on the remote computer. All traffic goes thru the server software, and the server will have to have a public IP, ie using the host router machine to give the VPN a public IP on your private network. And this will have to be done for each direction depending who is sending to whom.

You only need VPNs if accessing more than one computer on the other persons network or if you want the data encrytped when sending.

I have 4 computers with public IPs. They only have the services used turned on like web, mail, ftp, and my admin Apple Remote Access. Everything else is firewalled off. They have been setup like this without getting hacked for years.

At work I was the network guru. Had a MAC setup with software to make it a router. It had two network cards. One was public with 2 sets of IPs for our 2 internet providers. The other network card had our private network and our DMZ. The DMZ had our internet servers on it with rules that restricted access based on where you were coming from. It only allowed public access to those devices on specific ports, web, mail, etc. The router also acted as a VPN to our privated network for some services on only a couple of machines. It would gang the surfing between both ISPs so surfing was twice as fast. Also hosted 2 DNS servers on on each ISP. The internet serves also had both ISP IPs pointed to them so if one went down within 10 minutes internet traffic would come inn thru the other based on DNS TTL, Time To Live.

Had some people I know that were hackers try to hack our internet connection and they could not get in. If they tried to hack in it answered in Kligon with "Service not available" and started blocking their IPs.

OK, maybe I can get you to translate the posts you made into English and we can try it with my business partner and I.

Morning everyone. Missed yesterday due to crown temp placement and lots of CAD to be done for an issue.

Back to normal weather 50's and damp.

Set up your device doing NAT (that turns yout public IP from cox into a private IP on your network) to make the computer you want to share a local host. Mine would be my Apple Airport. The host setting is under network, advanced. This will set the router so all incoming connections will go to that specific computer. Can also set the computer so it has a local fixed IP address and NOT dhcp. if you don't have an Airport Utility for you PC, you can put one on you iPhone.

You should also be able to setup a public dns name on the router.

I am not sure how to set up dynamic dns, I pay more an have static IPs. Think dynamic dns is a free service that lets you setup like glen.cms-okc.com to point the Public IP address of your cox router. And download some kind of software that tells dynamic DNS you have changed IP addresses.

I have the Airport utility on my computer. I can get to the advanced setting, and see a ton of possible settings. I may just have to get you over here and provide adult supervision and get it set up so just my business partner can see the computer.

Sent an email to try to be more descriptive without boring those not involved.

to late I'm bored.....oh wait that's just work.

Looks like brand spanking new!

Jeff, now you need to put down a good coat of wax, and be sure to wax it every 9 months to keep it shiny and new looking. Maybe even do a ceramic coating like I have on my cars. That helps keep it clean!

I am still sorting through the 4 terabytes of data that I have from various projects. One of them was a real pain in that we did not fly it, and it was not really our project. We just processed the data for a guy in Montana. He flew a project with a camera system we rented to him, and he flew it over several days, some were cloudy days, some were sunny, some in the morning, some in the afternoon. It was a huge area, like most things in Montana. It was the first project I came across that my computer would just puke on because 32 Gig of RAM was not enough. It took us over a month to get it finished. We ended up running it on our 128 Gig of RAM machine at my partners house. Then moved it over here for me to post process it and do the color correction and tweaking of the images. I had 1.4 TB of files that were the steps of making it look good.

All we need to keep is a copy of the final deliverable, and the original images. Just making 100% sure the stuff going into the oblivion of the delete process is truly the trash is tedious.

I had the project scattered over several drives before. It is all reduced to just 330 GB of data. In the end the final client was thrilled with the magic we did. They had to have it flown before leaf out on the trees last spring, and they had a very small budget. We did it for less than 2/3 of the quotes from all her other sources. She is happy, and she will be calling us again next time.

They told me my Cayenne should be ready to go tomorrow, probabiy evening.
Amps are supposed to come in today, according to tracking. And then the just have to figure out how to mount them. Whomever took the stock amp and cd player out also removed the brackets.

The place that put that stereo in sure made a mess. They could have gotten a connection box that would use the stock external amp and speakers for under $200. Instead they ripped it all out. Now it's more trouble to try to put the stock amp back in than aftermarket. I just want to get my cargo area back and access to the trunk and spare!

So, when you upgrade to Windows 10 it asks if you want to keep your files and setting. Why? Id does keep your files but defaults all your setting to open with MS products instead of what they should open with. Like using Edge to open a PDF instead of Adobe Acrobat like you have to for fillable documents. Idiots.

Good day all.
