Netware 5.1 server connect thourgh VPN

[stratofortress]

I have two NW5.1 server (both connect in LAN) and I want to move one of server to another location, but I still want to connect together for file and print sharing(through VPN). Is it possible to do this? If possible, what should I do after move to another location?

As long as you can establish connectivity between the two systems, you should be fine. ie, if IP is routable from one subnet to the other, you should be okay.

Are you talking about BorderManager vpn or another vpn solution?

since the server is joined to a tree, after I move to another site, should I reconfig the NDS setting?

I use cisco router to form VPN.

Theoretically you shouldn't have to reconfigure NDS, but you'll want to make sure that the servers are configured correctly with IP and that they can talk to each other.

Make sure after you make the move that you do a basic heartbeat check to make sure they're synching NDS.. It's not good enough to just ping each other.. make sure NDS is processing between the two normally.

SET DSTRACE=ON
SET DSTRACE=+s
SET DSTRACE=*H

Switch to the Directory Services screen, if you see a bunch of RED and Error codes, it's not working. Or if you don't see anything, most likely not working. You want to see an ALL PROCESSED=YES.
