If I go to a client site, I shouldn't be able to configure a printer so I can print things at the client site?
Perhaps, but in my experience (banking, airlines, IT) the client site is unlikely to allow foreign equipment on their network.
Depends on the client, but either way, the point stands that the decision isn't *ours* to make for the user based on any of our particular experience. I've been doing contract work for the past several months (for software companies writing documentation and doing QA work), and in two of three contracts so far, I've been expected to bring my own equipment to their offices and connect to their internal networks. The second client required that I connect to their network either directly (via an Ethernet or Enterprise WPA wireless network) or via a VPN. In the case of the third/current client, I connect to their network using a VPN from home. This is an issue where erring on the side of being more (and perhaps even *too*) flexible is a good thing.
