We recently decided that we needed to set up a VPN between two sites
and run our
over the VPN. Even though both ends have a fast connection, the POS still runs to slow to be useful. So
what I want to try is using from the remote location and remote
into one of our servers, and then map the
so that it will still use the receipt at the remote location through
remote desktops. My questions is how do I do that. Here is what I
have tried allready. I have went to the Group policy and enabled that
capability. I also check the box that says when i set up the connection in
Remote . I have also tried using the
follow command when I am remoted into the server; "net use com1:
\\tsclient\com1:" but still no luck. Does anyone know how to set that
up, Please help?
Ok, here is the solution. You need to use a
combination of the "net use" command the "change port" command.
First
run the "change port /q" for a list of all currently configured com
ports & LTP ports. Then for example if you want to map com1 on the
to com2 on local computer you need
to remove com1 on the remote computer first. Do this by entering
"change port /d com1". Then run the "change port /q" command to confirm
that com1 does not show.
Then you can run the command "net use
com1: \\tsclient\com2:" which will use the local computer's com2 drive
as com1 on the remote computer. After you have run that command you can
use the "change port /q" command to confirm that com1 shows up as
tslicent's com2 port.
NOTE: Also, if you set this up on one
computer and then you log off and try to set this up on another
computer, you will get errors abour the com port being remembered even
though it does not show up under "change port /q", you can solve this
problem by typing in net use /delete com1.
