Hi,
This seems a strange question - either its a stupid one and I shouldn't be asking it, or its really simple and I'm missing the point!!
I am currently setting up an Intranet which will eventually be an extranet (accessible by employees working outside the office - after authentication).
We want to make certain company documents accessible to everyone via the intranet/extranet. The problem is that the file server is not directly accessible through the extranet and I don't really want to put duplicates of the documents from our file server onto the extranet server.
Is there a way to link to the files on the file server via an HTML page on the extranet server?
I tried simply putting a <a href="... to the files I need. This works fine inside the network as the server is accessible. But if you try this from outside the network, the browser tries to connect a website with the name of our internal server!!
I'd appreciate any suggestions even the ones telling me how stupid I'm being (as long as reasons are given
)
