My network setup has changed recently.
Originally, I had this:
Net -> Broadband Modem -> Router -> Computers 1, 2, 3, voip and my server where my email files reside
Unfortunately my broadband left and I had to move over the Mobile Broad Band. Mobile Broad Band (sprint) is USB based, which means I had to use a computer to connect to the net and all the other computers connector through it.
My new setup, by necessity is:
Net -> USB mobile broad band in the "server" computer -> router -> computers 1, 2, 3 and voip
Here's my problem. In the past, I have MS Outlook (email) on all the computers set to use the .pst file stored on the server. That way, any computer that opens outlook sees the same emails. It's a cheap way of not dealing with exchange, etc. I did so by putting all the computers in the same workgroup and sharing the directory. I locked out all IP addresses except the ones in my home network with the firewall.
Now, the server computer is on the "other" side of the router from the other 3 computers. How can I still do the same thing, i.e., share that directory and have all the computers on the other side of the router access the .pst file for MS Outlook?
