Re: Appleshare access over the internet

Some of the staff in our organisation are asking about accessing the local
network over internet.

We currently have three machines sitting on the net - an OSX server box
(development), a linux box (main web server) and an older linux box as a
firewall to our internal network.

What I'd like to know is what options are available to enable staff to
access the internal network remotely through some authentication mechanism.

If by "accessing the local network", you mean filesharing access to the servers, then it's as simple as them opening up the chooser (or apple-k in OSX). They can click "Server IP Address" and enter either an IP address or DNS name of the server. It will then pop up the username/password box and finally the list of volumes.

For the Linux boxes, they would need to have NetAtalk with Adrian Sun's AFP/IP additions.

This will work directly if the server machines have "real" IP addresses. If not, then you would have to use NAT on the router to access the internal machines. If this is the case and you only have 1 real IP address, then you would have to get tricky for access to more than one server, since the NAT box would need to know which server you want to access.
