Laplink Gold 11.5 - FAQ's
 QUESTION
Can I use an "always on" connection to the Internet (DSL, Cable Modem) with Laplink Gold?
 ANSWER
Internet access through firewalls using ILS is made in one of two ways.
In the first method, Laplink automatically overrides the IP address you publish on the Internet Locator Service (ILS) server with the address for the firewall. You or your IS department simply modify the firewall configuration to forward connections on that port to the Laplink Gold computer. In addition, you can modify the specific port that Laplink uses to connect through the firewall. See Technical Document 633: Overview for Modifying Router and Firewall Settings to Allow a Laplink Conntection.
The second method takes further advantage of the ILS server and allows Laplink to support a secure reverse connection from inside the firewall. With some minor configuration, this method authenticates the computers on both sides of the firewall. This double authentication along with full data encryption and ensures a secure connection.
