Q: I am using a program that a database file. This program allows multiple users over LAN on the same db file simple file share sharing.
How would do the same, but via the Internet? I can add a new network place, but Im not sure what kind of address I had the type to get where this file is on another machine.
Anyone experience with this that may help?
Best Answer: You can use a VNC program, but the computer the files are coming from is "uploading the files" – that's what "uploading" means. You can't have a square top on the round bottom, and you can't have a computer send files to another computer without having it uploading them to it.

Would you need a VPN router for the NAS to be effective? Or could you just use a standard router and have the NAS and a couple PC's?

I was looking at VPN and thought that might be the route I need to go. The database won't be that big so performance probably won't be a problem.
I've read at several articles about VPN but they are all pretty general. From what I can tell, it looks as if I'll need a server and client software? I couldn't really find anything to get into the nitty-gritty of VPN so I could do this. Is there any software that comes as a package to set VPN? I don't mind paying for something that will make life easy. I'm pretty clueless at this point regarding VPN (and not too experienced with networking to begin with) and any help would be appreciated. However, I can usually find my way around once I get going in the right direction. So any software, tools and/or guides related to VPN would be a nice help.
Easiest way to do it is to get a VPN router. We recently bought a couple Linksys RV082 VPN routers (under $300 apiece on Newegg). You can do a router-to-router VPN tunnel, which lets all of the computers at the second place act like they're on the network (just on a different subnet) or use VPN software to "dial" into the VPN router. Linksys includes software and 15 seats for their router (latest software available in the firmware section of their support page). Works great, very slow though unless you have a high upload speed on your Internet connection. Our auxiliary facility uses a couple of Access databases and while it's slow, it's functional. If you have T1 or something you would probably get better results than cable or DSL. PM me if you have any questions about the RV082.

Re:While VPN is probably a good option if the database is large the performance will suffer greatly. If he has a few spare machines he could setup RDP or VNC so that you alleviate the bandwidth issue.

Re:In order to do the type of file sharing you want over the Internet, you'll need to have the remote computer(s) connect using VPN to the network where the database is stored and then connect to the database.
