accessing a Citrix server over modem
Authored by: chabotd on Nov 15, '01 12:46:48PM

Hi,

I have another question.

Has anyone been successful connecting their java client to a Metaframe server over modem?

With the Citrix client under OS 9, I can connect to the NT server via ethernet AND over a modem connection, using RemoteAccess.

This client runs well under classic, and I was in no rush to try the java client... until I noted that the Citrix client did not like working over a modem connection under classic. Please note that this solution works under Mac OS 9.2 (and 9.1 before that).

So I tried the java client, which works fine over ethernet. In fact, if it was not for the problem with mapping of a mac partition (see my other post) I'd use it routinely for work.

But from home it suffers from the same drawback as the regular Citrix client: it cannot find the metaframe server over a modem connection established by Internet Connect and OS X.

I get my modem connection to the NT server to open, and I can use email (even with MS Outlook 2001 in Classic) and surf the web. But the Java client tells me it is unable to find the server (or some other wording to this effect).

Would you happen to know why? Or even to suggest things I may try? If possible solutions that do not require any action from the people running the network and server, as they do their best to stop me from using a Mac.

Sincerely,

Denis
