mcroftThe connection chain required to do my job...
Powermac->Virtual PC->VPN to office->VNC to build machine->VNC to my work laptop
Many people could skip one or two of these.
The VPC is required because we have an old version of the VPN software.
The VNC->VNC connection is required because there's a router that doesn't pass all the traffic between my laptop and the VPN, but it's not a problem if I go to an internal machine on a different subnet and go from there.
Yes, computers. They make our lives easier.
I'm currently burning a DVD in my office that someone will then take up to someone else to be duplicated and released...
