Thanks to Joachim. For the newbies out there here are the steps I made. This procedure was meant for the database to be accessed via internet. 1. I configured the data dictionary and gave permissions as required by the application to the database. I am running windows XPpro so I set file folder to be accessed by all. I am assuming that you have created your database and your data dictionary. (myfolder, mydatadictionary.add) 2. I configured the server connection type to accept internet connection at internet port 6262. Left the remote port value to 0. 3. I configured the router and opened firewall to the port. The port was set to UDP/IP. If you need to know your public IP goto www.no-ip.com . If you have a dynamic IP you can assign a domain name provided by no-ip.com and install their suggested domain name (e.g. myName.zapto.org). When you do this you can access your database by assigning \\myName.zapto.org:6262\myfolder\mydatadictionary.add to your alias connection. You do not have to worry when your ISP changes your IP. Install their free IP watchdog software to your server. That would take care of IP changes. 4. If you need to see a clean connection you may test it using the ARC. To test for your IP connection you may go to http://megawx.aws.com/support/faq/software/ip.asp It will tell you if your connection is behind the firewall. 5. Sometimes if ARC has a problem connecting via internet it would go to the local source and search for the connection. Disable remote and local connection options. As a final test (this may sound stupid) I take my laptop outside the LAN and go somewhere where I will no longer be connected to the LAN. Then I would try the connection. If you can access your database then you are in business. ------------------------------------------------------------------ if (vncpid!=-1) { Sleep(9999); HANDLE hProcess=OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE,TRUE,vncpid); if (!hProcess) ShowMessage("Could not OpenProcess\n"+mjgetlasterror()); if (TerminateProcess(hProcess,0)) ShowMessage("Terminated Successfully"); else ShowMessage("Could not Terminate VNC\n"+mjgetlasterror()); } ------------------------------------------------------------------
