`
`If you don’t, in fact, have the latest copy of all the files you've selected, Windows
`performsthe necessary copying (assuming you've turned on “Synchronizeall offline
`files before logging off”as described earlier).
`When your computer disconnects from the network, two new icons and a “network
`is unplugged” reminder appearin your notification area (see Figure 20-15).

`Phase 4: Working Offline
`Once youre untethered from the network, you canfind the synchronizedfiles in any
`of several ways:

`It’s easy enough to tell when you're working on a documentthat’s been swiped from
`the network:a tiny, telltale double arrow appears onits icon (Figure 20-15, top), at
`least when your viewing the window in an icon view.(Alternatively, highlightits icon,

`

`
`
`
`
`Now youre free to work with these offline files and folders exactly as you wouldif
`you werestill connected to the network. You can revise, edit, and duplicatefiles, and
`even create new documentsinside offline folders. The permissions remain the same
`as when you connect to the network.
`
`Phase 5: Reconnecting to the Network
`Now suppose you return from your jaunt away from theoffice. You plop your laptop
`down on your desk and reconnect the network cable.
`Once Windows discovers that it’s home again, it whirls into action, automatically
`comparing your set of offline files and folders with the master set on the network,
`attempting to handle discrepancies betweenthe twoasbest it can. For example:
`- If your copy and a network copyof a file don’t match, Windows wipes out the
`older version with the newerversion, so that both locations have exactly the same
`edition.
`
`- If you deleted your copyofa file, or somebody on the network deleted theorigi-
`nal, Windows deletes the corresponding file so that it no longer exists on either
`machine. (That’s assuming that nobody edited the file in the meantime.)
`
`« If somebody addeda file to the network copy of a folder, you get a copy of it in
`your laptop’s copy of the folder.
`+ If you've edited an offline file that somebody on the network has deleted in the
`meantime, Windowsoffers you the choice to save your version on the network or
`delete it from your computer.
`- If you delete a file from your hard drive that somebody else on the network has
`edited in the meantime, Windowsdeletes the offline file from your hard drive but
`doesn’t delete the network copy from the network.
`
`* Ifboth your copy and the network copyofa file were edited while you were away,
`Windowsasks you which one should “win”(andalso gives you the option ofkeep-
`ing both of the copies underdifferent names),
`
`Synchronization Options
`You could spenda lifetime fiddling with the settings fot Offline Files. If you
`want proof, open any desktop window, open any folder window, choose Tools—>
`Synchronize, and then,in the Items to Synchronize dialog box,click the Setup button.
`The Synchronize Settings dialog box opens, shown in Figure 20-17.
`
`The Logon/Logoff tab lets you specify which network connection you wantto use,
`which files and folders you want to synchronize automatically, and when you want
`synchronization to take place (at log on,log off, or both). Here,too, is your chance
`to make Windows ask permission before performing any of its synchronizations:
`just turn on “Ask me before synchronizing the items.” (That's a handy option when
`youre working toward a tight deadline and you don’twantthis process to slow down
`your computer.)

`
`
`The other twotabs in this dialog box (On Idle and Scheduled) offer specialized syn-
`chronization features, discussed later in this section.
`
`Wien synchronization happens
`In general, automatic synchronization is the most convenient. But you can gain
`more control over exactly when the two-way updating takes place, using any of these
`scenarios:
`
`Figure 20-17:
`Left: The Logon/Logotf
`tab fets you specify which
`files and folders you want
`to synchronize automati-
`caily, and when you want
`them synchronized (when
`loggingin, lagging out. or
`both).
`
`Right: The On Idle tab
`alfows you to specify which
`files and folders you want
`synchronized when your
`computer is momentarily
`unused. (Note thatthis
`dialog box also includes
`controls for managing
`offfine Web pages, an In-
`ternet Explorer feature that
`lets you grab pages off the
`Web for reading later.)

`
`* Manual synchronization. Windows doesn’t always synchronize your files auto-
`matically. For example,it can’t synchronizea file that’s open on yourlaptopat the
`moment you log onorlog off, and it doesn’t try to do automatic synchronization
`when you're connected to the networkvia a slow connection (like a dial-up mo-
`dem).
`
`
`: E] Synchronize the selected items while mp computer ie idle.
`
`
`Tn these cases, you haveto trigger the synchronization yourself,like this: Open any
`folder window. Choose Tools—Synchronize. In the Items to Synchronize dialog
`box, select the folders you want to synchronize, and then click the Synchronize
`button. Windows does the rest.
`
`On Idle synchronization. Some people have no problem with the delay caused
`by automatic synchronization when they disconnect from, or reconnect to, the
`network. Theyjust sit back with a cup of coffee, waiting while Windows updates
`the files. There is, however, an alternative: telling Windows to do this copying

` quietly in the background throughout the workday, findinglittle pauses in your
`
`work when the computer isn’t being used.
`
`‘To turn onthis option, open the OnIdle tab ofthe SynchronizationSettings dialog
`box (Figure 20-17, right). Now select the files and folders you wantsynchronized;
`turn on the “Synchronize the selected items while my computeris idle” option.
`
`If you click Advanced,the Idle Settings dialog box appears, where you can set up
`regular intervals for the updating (every 60 minutes, for example). The idea here
`is that if your laptop’s quietly keeping things in syncall day long, you'll be able to
`disconnect quickly, content that you probably havethelatest versionsofyour files.
`If your computeris a laptop,this dialog box also offers the “Prevent synchroniza-
`tion when my computer is running on battery power”option.
`
`Scheduled synchronization. The Scheduled tab of the Synchronization Settings
`dialog box (Figure 20-8) lets you establish synchronization at specified times and
`frequencies.(Ifyou're planningto leave the office for a trip at 4 p.m., for example,
`you could conceivably set up a syne for 3:45 so that you can grab the laptop and
`go.)
`To set up such a schedule, click the Add button. In the Scheduled Synchronization
`Wizard, yowll be asked to specify the network connection, what files you want
`synchronized, whether or not you want Windowsto automatically connect your
`computerif it isn’t already on the network at the designated moment(by dialing
`in, for example), and how often you want the automatic synchronizing to occur.
`
`A Full and Quick synchronization
`The Offline Files synchronization process in general doesn’t always leave identical
`copies on your laptop and on thenetwork; sometimes, Windowscopies files only
`in one direction. To use the technical terminology, Windows sometimes performsa
`Quick synchronization, and sometimes a Full one.
`In a Full synchronization, Windows copiesall offline files both to and from your
`computer, thus ensuring that the latest and greatest versionsof thefiles are in both
`locations—the best possible arrangement. But you get Full synchronization only when
`you trigger synchronization in these ways:
`
`+ Ona schedule
`
`* Manually, by choosing ToolsSynchronize
`* Whenyou've turned on “Synchronizeall offlinefiles before logging off”(see page
`602)
`Quick synchronization,on the other hand,is a muchfaster, one-way process.It merely
`checks to ensure that there is some copy of every designated offline network file on
`your hard drive.
`If, for example, somebody else on the network has deposited a newfile into a foider
`that you've markedforoffline use, Quick synchronization will make sure you have a
`copy ofit. Note, however, that Quick synchronization doesn’t compare the network

`

`
`
`
`
`and laptop copies, to make sure that you have the latest copy—it just makes sure that
`you have a copy.
`Quick synchronization is what you get when:
`+ You log onto the network with automatic synchronization turned on.
`
`+ You've turned on “On Idle” synchronization, as described earlier.
`
`» You've turned off “Synchronizeall offlinefiles before logging off” (page 602).

`
`Three Ways to Dial
`
`In from the Road
`
`indows XP Professional provides a longlist of avenues for dialing into
`
`W= PCfromanother.Ifyou're aroadwarrior armedwithalaptop,you
`
`may be delighted by these features. If yowre a corporate employee who
`used to think that you could escape the office by going home, you maynot.
`
`In any case, each ofthese remote access features requires a good deal of setup and some
`scavengingthrough the technical underbrush,and each offersslightly different benefits
`and drawbacks. But when yowre in Tulsa and a spreadsheet you need is on your PC
`in Tallahassee, you may be grateful to have at least one of these systemsin place.
`
`Remote Access Basics
`
`The two most commonscenariosfor using these remote access features are (a) dialing
`your home PC usinga laptop and (b) dialing into your office network from your PC
`at home.To help youkeep theroles ofthese various computersstraight, the computer
`industry has done youthe favorofintroducing specialized terminology—andlearning
`these terms now will help keep your brain from tyingitself in knots:
`
`+ The host computer is the home-base computer—-theonethat’s sitting there, wait-
`ing for you to connectto it. It could be your office computer (you'll dial intoit
`from home), or your home computer (you'll dial into it from your laptop on the
`road),
`
`* The remote computer is the one that will do the dialing: your laptop on the road,
`for example, or your home machine when you tapinto the office network.
`
`The remaining pages of this chapter cover all three systems, but here’s a quick sum-
`mary:
`

`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`* Dialing direct. The remote computer can dial the host PC directly, modem to
`modem, becomingpart of the network at the host location. At that point, you can
`access shared folders exactly as described in the previous chapter.
`
`The downside: The host PC must have its own phoneline that only it answers.
`Otherwise, its modem will answer every incoming phonecall, occasionally blasting
`the ears of hapless humancallers.
`
`* Virtual private networking. Using this system, you don’t have to make a direct
`phone call from the remote PC to the host. Instead, you use the Internet as an
`intermediary. This way, you avoid longdistance charges, and the host PC doesn’t
`haveto have its own phoneline. Once again, the remote computer behaves exactly
`as though it has joined the network ofthe system you're dialing into.
`
`+ Remote Desktop. This feature, new in Windows XP, doesz't just make the remote
`PC join the network of the host; it actually turns the remote computerinfo the
`host PC,filling yourscreen with its screen image. When you touch the trackpad
`on yourlaptop, you're actually moving the cursor on the home-base PC’s screen,
`and so forth.

`

`
`
`To make this work, you have to dial into a computer running Windows XP Pro,
`But the machinedoingthe dialing can be runninganyrelatively recent version of
`Windows, including Windows XP Home Edition.
`
`
`
`Fip: The world is filled with more powertul, moreflexible products that let you accomplish the samethings
`as these Windows XP features, from software programslike LapLink, Carbon Copy, and PC Anywhere to
`Web sites like wevixgofomypc.com.
`
`On the other hand, Remote Desktop is free,
`
`Note, by the way, that these are all methods of connecting to an unattended machine.
`If somebodyis sitting at the PC back home, you might find it far more convenient
`to dial in using Windows Messenger, described in Chapter 11. It’s easier to set up
`and doesn’t require XP Professional on one end, yet offers the same kind of “screen
`sharing” as Remote Desktop.
`
`Dialing Direct
`To set up the host to make it ready for access from afar, you first must prepare it to
`answercalls, Then you needto set up the remote computer to dial in.
`
`Setting Up the Host PC
`if your host PC has its own private phone line—the lucky thing—here’s how to
`prepare it for remote access:
`
`1. Choose Start—Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, double-click Network
`Connections.
`
`You see the icons for the various network connections you'vecreated.
`
`2. In the task pane at theleft side of the window,click “Create a new connection,”
`
`As you might have predicted, something called the New Connection Wizard ap-
`pears (Figure 21-1, top).
`
`3. Click Next. On the next screen,click “Set up an advanced connection,” and then
`click Next.
`
`Nowthe Advanced Connections Options screen appears.
`
`4, Ensure that the “Accept incoming connections” option is selected (Figure 21-1,
`middle). Then click Next.
`
`Now youre shownalist of the communication equipment your PC has—includ-
`ing its modem.
`
`5. Tarn on the checkbox for your modem.
`
`At this point, you could also click the Properties button and, in the resulting dialog
`box, turn on “Disconnecta call if idle for more than __ minutes.” Doing so makes

`7. Turn on the checkboxes corresponding to the people who should be allowed to
`dial into this host PC.
`
`
`
`Don’t turn on Guest, which amounts to a welcome matfor hackers,
`
`If you highlight a name and then click Properties, you can turn onthe callback
`feature—asecurity feature that, after you've dialed in, makes your host PC hang
`up andcall you back at a specific number. You can either(a) specify a callback
`number at the host machine in advance, so that outsiders won't be able to con-
`nect, or (b) let the remote user specify the callback number, which puts most of
`the telephone charges on the host computer’sbill {so that you can bypass obscene
`hotel long distance surcharges). Click OK to close the dialog box.
`8. Click Next.
`
`Youre shownalist of networking protocols that Windows XP will make available
`to you when you call in. In general, you should simply confirm thatall the check-
`boxes are turned on.(Highlighting“Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”and clicking the
`Properties button maybe useful to the paranoid, however. It lets you limit a remote
`caller to just this particular PC, instead of havingfull access to the network.)
`
`9, Click Next again, and then click Finish.
`
`A newicon in your Network Connections window,called Incoming Connections,is
`born, Your home-base PCis ready for connections, When the phonerings, the modem
`will answerit, (Of course, you shouldn’t use this feature with the same phoneline as
`your answering machineor yourfax.)
`
`Setting Up the Remote PC
`Next, go to the remote computer and get it ready to phone home. Here’s what to
`do:
`
`1. Choose Start->My Network Places. At the left side of the My Network Places
`window,click “Create a new connection,”
`
`The New Connection Wizard appears.
`
`2, Click Next. Select “Connect to the network at my workplace,” and then click
`Next,
`
`Now Windows wants to know if you'll be connecting via modem (“Dial-up con-
`nection”or via Internet (“Virtual Private Network connection”).
`3. Click“Dial-up connection,” and then clickNext. Type a namefor your connection
`(like “Phone home”), and then click Next. Type a phone numberforthe line your
`home PCis connectedto, and then click Next again.
`
`Youll have an opportunity to specify area codes and dialing codeslater.
`
`4, Onthefinal screen, turn on “Add a shortcut to this connection to my desktop,”
`and then click Finish.
`
`You're nowready to establish a connection between the two computers.

`Once you've configured both computers,fire up the remote system and follow these
`steps to connect:
`1. Double-click the shortcut icon you created in step 4 above.
`If it isn’t on your desktop, you shouldfindit in your Network Connections window
`(which you can open from the Control Panel). The dialog box shown in Figure
`21-2 appears.
`
`Nofe: if you're using a leptop while traveling, you might have to tell Windows XP where you are before
`you attemptto connect. If you're in a different area code, open the Phone and Modem Optionsicon in the
`Control Panel. Makesure that you've specified your current location, complete with whatever fancy dialing
`numbers are required by it (see page 318 for instructions on establishing these locations). Click the current
`location and then click OK. Now Windows knows what area code and prefixes to use,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`2. Type in your name and password, and double check the phone number.
`This is the same name and password you'd use to log in at the Welcome screen
`if you were sitting in front of the hostPC (Chapter 17). If you've set up dialing
`rules (page 318), you can choose the appropriate set of phone number segments
`by clicking the Properties button.
`
`Figure 27-2:
`You're ready to phone home. If you click the Properties
`button, you can invoke one ofthe dialing rules you pre-
`pared while reading page 320, which can save you a bit
`of fiddling around with area codes and access numbers.

`

`3. Click Dial.
`
`That’s all there is to it. Windows dials into your home PC, makes the connection,
`and—ifthe phone number, name, and passwordare all correct—showsyouaballoon
`on your taskbar (Figure 21-3).
`
`
`
`You're free to open up any shared folders, even use shared printers, on your network
`back home. And although it may make your brain hurt to contemplate it, you can
`even surf the Internet if your home PC has, say, a cable modem.
`
`
`Note: Don't try to run any programsthat reside on your host PC, however; you'll be old and gray by the
`time they evenfinish opening. If you try, the host computer must transmit all of the files that make up the
`program ta your remote machineas it loads (see the box on page 612).
`
`
`When you're finished with your email check, address lookup, documenttransfer,
`or whatever, right-click thelittle network icon in yournotification area and choose
`Disconnect from the shortcut menu (Figure 21-3, top).
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Tip: If you're having trouble connecting, confirm that the name and password you're using are correct—that's
`the number-one source of problems. If the remote system still doesn’t recognize you,click the Properties
`bution in the dialog box shownin Figure 21-2. On the General tab, make sure that your laptop's dialing the
`right number, on the Networking tab, confirm that all the checkboxes are turned on.

`Virtual Private Networking
`If you're a frequent traveler who regularly connects to a distant homeoroffice by
`- dialingdirect, you must be the toast of your long-distance phone company.
`. Fortunately, there’s a more economicalsolution.Virtualprivate networking (VPN)is
`a fancy wayofsaying, “Your remote computer can becomepartofyour host network,

`using the Internet as a connection instead of a long distance phone connection.”Yes,
`this does sound exactly like the direct-dialing feature described above—except this
`time, you don’t pay any long-distancebills, your host PC doesn’t necessarily have to
`have its own phoneline, and (if the computers on both ends have fast connections)
`you're not limited to the sluglike speeds of dial-up modems.
`With a VPN connection, both the host and the remote computers connect to the
`Internet by makinglocal calls to your Internet service provider (ISP). If you travel

`

`
`
`with a laptop, that’s a good argumentfor signing up with a national or international
`ISP that has local access numbers wherever you plan to be. On the other hand,if you
`don’t move your computers around much,youcan just use your regular ISP as you
`always do, whether you connect using a dial-up, a cable modem, DSL, or whatever.
`
`Ifyou're connecting to your corporate network, no problem: your company probably
`has its own Internet service. Ifyou are the sole proprietor ofboth machines, however,
`ali of this may mean thatyou'll actually have to have twedifferent ISP accounts, so
`that both machines can be onlineat once.
`
`Not only can VPN save the frequenttraveler quite a bit ofmoney,butit’s also extremely
`secure. When you connect using VPN, the information traveling between the two
`connected computers is encoded (encrypted) using a technology called tunneling.
`Your connection is like a reinforced steel pipe wending its way through the Internet
`to conneci the two computers.
`
`‘To create a VPN connection, your host computer must have two important compo-
`nents:
`
`° It must be on the Internet at the momentyou try to connect. Usually, that meansit
`needsa full-time Internet connection,like cable modem or DSL. But in a pinch—if
`it has only a dial-up modem,for example—you could phone a family member or
`co-worker just before you need to connect, with the direction to go online with
`your home PC.
`
`* It needs its own, fixed IP address. (See the box on the previous page for a work-
`around.)
`
`The remote computer, on the other hand, doesn’t have any such requirements.
`
`Setting Up the Host Machine
`To set up the host PC for the VPN connection,do exactly as you wouldfor direct-dial
`connections (page 613)—but in step 6, choose “Allow virtual private connections.”
`When the wizard finishes its work, the host machineis ready for action. Instead of
`setting up the modem to answer incomingcalls, Windows XP nowlistens for incom-
`ing VPN connection requests from the Internet.
`
`Making the Connection
`Now moveto the laptop, or whatever machine you'll be using when you're away from
`the main office. These steps, too, should seem familiar—theystart outjust like those
`that began on page 615, except that in step 3, you should choose “Virtual Private
`Network connection.” Then proceed like this:
`
`1. On the Public Network screen before you, leave “Automatically dial this initial
`connection”selected. Use the drop-down list to select the connection you use to
`access the Internet.
`
`Now Windows XP can automatically dial up your ISP when you launch the VPN
`connection.

` 2. ClickNext. On the VPN Server Selection screen, type the host nameorregistered
`
`IP address of the VPN host—thatis, the computer you'll be dialing into.
`
`er :
`|Networking
`
`If you've signed up for one of the dynamic DNSservices described in the box
`on page 618, you know what the host computer’s nameis. Otherwise, specify its
`registered IP address.
`3. Click Next, turn on “Add a shortcut to this connection to my desktop,” and then
`click Finish.
`
`The result is a new icon on your desktop (and in the Network Connections win-
`dow). When you double-click it, you seeadial-up box like the one shown in Figure
`21-2. As with direct-dial connections, you can use dialing rules (page 318) to sim-
`plify your life as you move from area codeto area code in the course of your life.
`At this point, you've once again joined your home network. Exactly as with the
`direct-dial connectionsdescribedearlier, you shouldfeel free to transfer files, make
`printouts, and so on. Avoid actually running programs on the distant PC,at least if
`one computer or the other is connected to the Internet using a dial-up modem;the
`situation improvesif both are using high-speed connections.
`When you wantto hangup,right-click the connection icon in your notification area
`and choose Disconnect.
`
`
`Note: All of this sounds simple enough—andit is, if you have only one PC at home,or several that rely on
`Internet Connection Sharing (Chapter 18).
`
`Unfortunately, setting up virtual private networking (and,for that matter, Remote Desktop, described next)
`on larger networks, or on networks that don't use Internet Connection Sharing, can be extremely compiex.
`if you've installed a router to share an Internet connection with your network, for example, some hairy
`technical bushwhackingis involved in setting it up to accommodate remote-access requests from the road.
`Acconsultant, or call to the router company, may be in yourfuture.
`
`Remote Desktop
`Ifyou optto set up your host computer to use Remote Desktopinstead of a standard
`direct-dial or VPN connection, dialing into it from your remote offers some spec-
`tacular advantages. When you use Remote Desktop, you're notjust tapping into your
`home computer’s network—you're actually bringingits screen onto yourscreen. You
`can run its programs, print on its printers, “type” on its keyboard, moveits cursor,
`manageitsfiles, and so on,ali by remote control.
`Remote Desktop isn’t useful only when you're trying to dial into the office or reach
`your home computer from the road;it even works over an office network. You can
`actually take control of another computerin the office—to troubleshoota novice’s PC
`without having to run up or downaflight of stairs, perhaps,or just to run a program
`that isn’t on your own machine.

`
`
`If you do decide to use Remote Desktop over the Internet, the requirements are the
`same as they are for a VPN connection. That is, the host computer must be con-
`nected to the Internet when you try to accessit, and it must havea fixed, registered
`IP address.
`
`
`
`Tip: WindowsXP Pro contains the software thatlets you create both ends of the Remote Desktop connection:
`the host (server) piece and remote(client) piece.
