DLO over VPN

I want to setup the DLO agent on some workgroup machines outside of our domain connected via static VPN tunnels. The clients don't use the SBS server for DNS but they can ping the private IP address. I have installed the DLO agent from the network shared folder on the SBS server but it can't connect as it is looking for the server name rather than IP address. I have changed the DefaultMedia server in the client registry but I am still having problems.

Please advise the best configuration for this scenario with regards to firewalls, account logins and client settings? (I have read document ID 280675 but that didn't appear to help!)

    As i understand Backup exec needs name resolution for client and server. If your don't want to use DNS, edit host file.

    Specify port for DLO and media server to communicate on firewall. I would suggest to create rule for media server and DLO for allow all as DLO are the trusted cleints.

    i think admin guide will help you to decide the settings for the DLO client
