Ok, I have 3 computers with WINXP connected to a linksys router and then to a cable modem. In the past I only had to access only one, and I only put that machine's IP in DMZ so I could had unlimited access to it. Now I have to access the 3 of them from my office. How can I differentiate them in the RDPC program at the office? When I needed to access only one I only wrote the IP of the cable modem and taht was it, now I have my doubts on how to access other machnes inthe same network.

My head is aching here....

You must figure out a way to link to the other PCs through the DMZ host. That's not easy because mapped drives can't be shared again. If you loaded Win2K Server on the DMZ host and created a domain, you could do many things - mainly VPN, but RAS would work too.

You could try Remote Desktop Sharing on the DMZ and then you could work your whole network from your virtual desktop. Officially, only two WinXP Pro PCs can do this, but you can set up Netmeeting's RDS feature to accept your "call".

Now my head is the one aching... LOL

1- I dont have win2k server in any side of the connection, just a few win2k workstations and a few win98 in my office
2- In the remote side 3 machines with winxp pro connected to the Linksys 4port router and then to the internet with a cable modem. In that router I can only put one machine at a time in DMZ. So I put mine... now I have to access a small FTP dump I created and anothar machine for another task.
Hope I can get more light to this puzzle... :confused:

No puzzle then...just set up Netmeeting's Remote Desktop Sharing on the DMZ host (with security - natch) and connect to it from work. It will be like you are sitting at that PC at home and you can use the network at will. You can't chain-connect to the Desktop interfaces of the other PCs, but you can access any shares on them. You can e-mail things from your home PC to anywhere as well.
