Forum for all technical support and trouble shooting of the WinGate VPN.

I have Windows Server 2003 running on a peer-to-peer network at one office, and they're branching out to a new remote location. Can I use WinGate VPN without redoing the Windows Server 2003 as a domain server? It's so beautifully simple right now, and I'd love to avoid it if it's possible.

Hi
with WinGate VPN we added a couple of features (UDP broadcast relaying) to allow workgroup-style operation over the VPN, so no you don't need a domain.
Regards

So I'll be able to map network drives from afar to my remote computer, and use it basically as an application and file server without having the formal "desktop" like a Terminal Services user would?

Correct - A VPN can be envisaged as a very long network cable via the internet. So anything you do when in your local network should also be able to done over the VPN when you are sitting in a remote network.
