how to connect to a LAN pc from home pc. LAN pc is behind proxy.

Normally, you set up a VPN connection to get through the firewall and or
proxy. Once connected, the VPN settings override your local settings and
you can see the PC(s) on the LAN as if they were local.

Show quoteHide quoteIMO you really don't want to get into writing your own VPN software as
their is a lot to handle within the various protocols. It's far safer to
use those that already exist and have been tried and tested. If you
really have to write your own VPN Client then I would suggest you get a
commercial library like those from Power TCP and others which wrapper
the more complex parts of the process.

To create a VPN connection you simple go to "Network Connections" under
the control panel and create a new Lan Connection selecting VPN. You
point of access to your LAN at the office MUST have a Static IP address.

With the VPN created, you simply right click on it and select Connect.
Run or use your software to do whatever is required and then Disconnect
when finished. I appreciate that you may like to automate this by doing
it in code however, if this is for yourself as suggested, then is two
rights clicks that much of a hassle.
