Re: Paradox over internet

Kristian

It is possible to connect to servers over the internet as long as the
server 
owner is willing to enable these network settings to the internet. Michel 
provided instruction for doing this for Net Bios and there are other 
settings that can be enabled to do this for other network protocols as
well.

The real issue is network security. By enabling your operating system 
services to be accessed over the internet, you also enable them to be used

by hackers to access and take control of your computer. That is the reason

most users that want to have access via the internet use VPN (Virtual 
Private Network) hardware/software as a security measure to control access

between private networks/computers over the internet.

Using NetBios as the protocol helps reduce the risk to some extent as not 
many users or hackers are attaching this type of setup, but its still a 
risk.

The real questions you need to ask is what risk am I prepared to take to 
expose my operating system to the network and hackers?

Just my 2 cents - Rick
