Re: Connecting WDSC through Remote Desktop

Buck,
I use Remote Desktop Connection on my laptop at home. It apparently(I am not
sure here) connects to a virtual PC on the network which has the software
like client access to connect to the AS400. I then use that to do my work. I
was wondering if while I was connected, if I could use WDSC to connect to
the AS400 and upload source from my offline projects. Then work on them on
the as400. Hope that makes more sense.
Thanks for all the time guys
Tom

The problem is that I don't have a pc at the work location. 
I am a consultant, and all of my programs
are on my local laptop.

There's some confusion about nomenclature, I'm afraid.  The original 
post was 'Does anyone know if it is possible to connect WDSC to an AS400 
that I have connected to with Remote Desktop ?'  Remote Desktop means a 
Windows program running on a PC at work that you connect to from a PC at 
home.  You then 'drive' the work PC from the home PC.  One doesn't need 
WDSC or Word or what have you on the home PC because one uses Remote 
Desktop to literally use the software on the work PC.

It appears that you don't use Remote Desktop at all, since there isn't 
any second PC in the middle.

So how does your employer expect you to connect to his network from 
home?  VPN?
