When I was on-site, at customer, this Wednesday, I asked their IT manager if what I am trying to do (connect my iPad to the server from my office) is possible, and he said No.

I think I was using the name of the server. But I can try with IP as well.
No, the IT manager did't tell me why. You see even when I was onsite he had to connect the iPad to their network, in order for the iPad to "see" the server. When I am in my office, I am not connected to their wireless network. Maybe this is why.
