Sap remote access

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I just installed ECC 5.0. I would like to be able to access the system remotely on my laptop. I'm able to log in as long as i'm in my home network, however when i try to log in away from home using my server ip address i get timeout error. I'm using a DSL router with a firewall. I think the firewall might be part of the problem. I tried to forward a port to my computer ip but still no access. Does anyone have a clue as to what else i could do. Any suggestions wiil be greatly appreciated.

Franklin,

You will need a VPN router or server then established the connection via PPTP, L2TP or SSL connection.

Hope this will help ^^

Thanks Jeffery

I configured VPN server in windows already, but remote log on is still not possible. Do i have to use third party VPN sofware? If so, could you suggest any that are worth trying? thanks

Franklin,

When you mention you have created VPN server in windows, which windows server have you configured it? If you have configured a Windows Server 2003 VPN that has the Remote Access role enabled, and that accepts incoming PPTP connections. Please refer to this <a href="http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-1035-5814036.html">http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-1035-5814036.html</a> to setup the remote VPN dial-up.

Hope this help ^^
