ISP firewall? What happens if you want to connect to your own network, via SSH or VPN?
Never do that. If I'm out of town and using my laptop the computer is usually turned off. If I'm just running around town, and IF I should take my laptop for some reason, I can't think of any reason I would need to. Any pertinent data I might need at any given time is already on my laptop. I honestly can't think of any reason to need to connect to my desktop. Someday that may change but for now............................. I'll cross that bridge when the time comes. I'm sure there is some way to get there . Have to ask Sam if/when the time comes.
I access my home system frequently. For example right now I'm at work and getting my email from an IMAP server on my main home computer. To get there, I run OpenVPN, which gets me through my firewall and to all the resources on my home network. I also have SSH available, should I choose to go that way. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
