The problem I have (had) is that the wlan nat's the clients and you can not get any connection to them. But a friend of mine poited out that I could make them connect via vpn (pptp) to the network and set up the firewall to allow connections that way.
I'll try that later this week and see if it will work. :) Sometimes it seems like you have to work very hard to keep files safe from their owners. /Jonas Stare On Sat, 2006-08-26 at 15:36 +0200, Nils Breunese (Lemonbit Internet) wrote: > Jonas Stare wrote: > > > I've tried to find anyone who done this before but without any luck. > > > > What I would like to do is to be able to backup clients even if they > > never show up on the local network.
