3. On the NetWAYS/ISDN computer, open a command prompt and
enter ping followed by the domain name or the IP address of the
AVM Access Server. In the example, the command entered on Jane
Doe’s NetWAYS/ISDN computer is:
ping company-abc-berlin.dns4biz.de
If the server’s responses are received, then NetWAYS/ISDN has
successfully contacted the AVM Access Server over the Internet.
Test Access to a Specific Server in the Company Network from the
Remote Workstation
1. Open the file %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS in a
text editor. (See also the section “Windows Name Resolution and
File and Printer Sharing” on page 95.)
Add a line to this file containing the following information about
the server you want to access in the company network:
<server's IP address> <server's fully
qualified domain name>
In the example, the following information is entered for the com-
pany’s e-mail server:
192.168.10.100 mail.abc.de
Now the e-mail server’s name can be resolved to its IP address lo-
cally on the NetWAYS/ISDN computer.
2. At the command prompt, enter ping followed by the domain
name of the server indicated above. In the example, the com-
mand entered is:
ping mail.abc.de
If the server’s reponses to the ping are received, then Jane Doe
now has access to the e-mail server over a VPN. You can now con-
figure an e-mail client program.
