Hello experts,<br />
<br />
We have a file server within our office and are trying to access it remotely.<br />
<br />
I work from home and need to access this file server (which is hooked up through a router and firewall).<br />
<br />
The router will only accept connections from known ip addresses so we got ourselves dyndns accounts which worked great for 1 or 2 weeks then stopped working. We then got ourselves no-ip addresses and the same happened with those, they worked until when (we think our ip addresses changed).<br />
<br />
We have had words with the network admin and he said the no-ip addresses are matching our ip addresses at home. He also set the router to resolve the hostnames every 4 hours.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know if there are any solutions to our problem? is this a regular occurance with resolution of hostnames etc?<br />
<br />
thanks

Remote access using no-ip

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
