How do i make a database that pulls info from a server localized? trying to vpn and connection times out?

I have a project where I have the files needed but it still pulls data from a server. The app is java based. I have all the files and put them on the laptop. When connecting via VPN, it doesnt pull or see the data. When the laptop is connected on the domain it populates all the fields perfectly. I tried to gather all the files and make a directory locally so that the user could use the database then when he gets back from the field would be able to synchronize. The application just hangs and fails. I ensured that the server recognizes this users account and laptop. The server that the app resides is windows 2000, the vpn is cisco. Will post more detials if it helps.|||From what you describe, it seems like the data is pulled from a database. You need a local copy of the database running on the laptop in order to use the data - simply having the data is not enough. Also, you probably need to repoint the app to look at localhost.





Hope this helps.
