[FX.php List] Problem with clients iis install

[Bob Patin]

No, it does work *sometimes,* just really slowly.

Here's a question: they use a VPN to connect from one location to another, so that they can open all the ports. I've advised using a traditional method so that we can eliminate one possibility.

So what I don't know is this: do 2 machines connecting in a VPN function the same as 2 machines connecting over the Internet, other than private IPs?

Thanks,

Bob Patin
