Hi
I've successfully connected from home to my work network via VPN (using
QuickVPN from Linksys which came with the router for my office). I can
connect to either of 2 computers at work using Remote Desktop, but only if I
use the internal IP address for them. I can't RD if I use the name the
computer has (i.e. schedule1, schedule2). This is fine for me, but I need
to set this up so someone else can access these 2 computers and they'd be
much more comfortable with the name, rather than typing in a buncha numbers
and dots.
Anyone know why the names wouldn't work? And, how I can get them to work the
same as the IP addresses?
TIA
