Posted March 18, 2013 Hey what's up everyone. I have just a quick question and i have been looking on the web for some time now. I have at home a spare pc that is just used for storing movies and stuff via my home workgroup. Now, i would like to access that pc from my school that is obviously not in my home workgroup. I'm looking for a way to perhaps "fake" the computers to think they are both in the same workgroup or connectoin for me to be able to access the public files from my school network. If you've got any ideas i'd love some replies :).

Posted March 18, 2013 Set your self up a VPN, higher end routers support it, not sure of any software for that though. Something wrong with your connection ? Run the damn cable :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 18, 2013 VPN way to go if your school network allow it. A lot of schools deny VPN traffic. Easiest way to go would be cloud storage. Dropbox,Google Drive. Also you'll probably get faster file transfer speeds with that as well unless your home server + network has decent upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah you would need to create a VPN, but your not going to be able to connect it to your homegroup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
