LapLink MN-LGD011-XX-US manual

Making an Internet connection to a computer behind a firewall

In most cases, a firewall or router will block inbound connections from the internet, including LapLink connections1. Since configuration of the firewall is not easy, or even permitted by the network, LapLink Gold offers a built-in solution: You can use LapLink Gold Corporate’s Firewall Connection Service to make the connection.

When the guest computer (outside the firewall) requests a connection, the host computer (inside the firewall) uses the Address Book entry to initiate the connection.

The Log-in name and password in the Log-in List entry must match the log-in name and password in the Address Book entry.
