I'm sure someone has dealt with this a number of times and successfully!
I have a client who wants to access her office QuickBooks from home.
I've seen the web-based QuickBooks - that looks like a very simple way to go.
But, let's say they don't want to spend the monthly fee. So:
I've looked at Remote Desktop and it appears we'd need to do this:
1) Have XP Pro on the office machine.2) Set up Remote Desktop on the office machine and on the client machine.
3) Assuming a dynamic IP at both ends, use something like DNS2GO pointing to the office system so the remote system will have something to point to.4) Set up the office router for port forwarding to the Remote Desktop port on the office machine.
I'm confident I can do all these things but I've not done it yet. So, does this sound right and did I leave anything out?
Is there a better way you might suggest?
Thanks,
Fred
