>>>>>>>>>>Hi,

>>>>>>>>Thank you.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>Hi. Been offline for a couple of days. Did you resolve this ?
>>>>>>
>>>>>>No. Which is a pain because I cannot test the iOS app from my office. And the customers is 60 miles away. And making the trip for every test is not a practical approach. 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.
>>>>>
>>>>>Just to be clear : Can you browse their server on your PC browser when connected over VPN ?
>>>>
>>>>No. I tried it. I can do it when I RDP to their server but not from my PC browser :(
>>>
>>>What URL are you using ? The IP address of the server ?
>>>Did the IT manager tell you why the answer was '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.

>I'd concentrate on getting access to the site from your PC browser over VPN. If that's not working there's no chance that the IPad would work either.
>Can you ping the IP address of the remote server over VPN ?
Yes, I can ping their server from my PC. And yes, I can get the Web API return the version number from my browser, using the IP address (instead of name). Thank you!
But I cannot get the iPad browser to call the server :(.
