currently i check every time my public ip to make sure that it is still fixed to make sure that the 2 office are connected, i wish to make this happen automatically but unfortunately DDNS despair me
I assume that you don't have the ability to get static IPs? Have you looked into Hamachi?
-
@scottalanmiller yes, and also our ISP makes it difficult to possess static IP, he force you to buy a subnet of 8 static ip, and the price is very expensive, because here in qatar exist only one ISP (landline provider) for this reason they do what they want,
-
and also they force you to change you current wire installation and make a new one

Wow. Is it a government controlled monopoly or as the market just not created competition (yet)?
-
@scottalanmiller exactly, it is a government ISP that don't have any competition, so they have freedom to do what they want

I see. That is unfortunate that instead of working to enable business that they use it to make money via the ISP directly. Iceland does something similar with a central ISP but provides high speed, great access to everyone.
-
hhhh, can you imagine our ISP max ADSL bandwidth
-
Hamachi would be "low" cost and should do what you need. I prefer Pertino but in your use case, gateway to gateway, it doesn't have an offering yet.

They are still using ADSL? That is horrible. Qatar is such a rich country, they could go all fiber overnight and really enable business there. The opportunities being missed are tragic.
-
currently they are working in fiber optic, but only in some region not all qatar

Are you outside of Doha?
-
i'm located in doha, i'm from Morocco and i work in qatar,
the problem is having fiber optic in business is not easy, and having it in your home is easy, can you imagine that ?? me for example we have fiber optic at home but no chance in our business, i don't know why they make it that difficult for companies getting upgraded -
and the worse, the maximum bandwith that you can have with this copper wire is 4 Mbs download and 0.5 Mbs upload

I recently worked with a business right next to my house. I have great fiber in my home and the business could not get it. And that was right in Dallas which is a single city with three times the population of all Qatar!

Now that is really awful. Wow.
-
i suffer from this a lot, employees complain about the slow access of our remote resources (file server) in the remote office
-
why they implement this policy, because normally businesses who should have priority than homes

Where is the remote office? How many people are at each? Would a central file server in a datacenter make more sense so that each side gets downloads at 4Mb/s rather than using the 512Kb/s channel to send files to the other site?
-
Or, better yet, move the file server to someone's home, as silly as that sounds, this could actually be a good use of a "residential datacenter."
-
the remote site is located in the same city Doha, and we have 2 servers in the main office, on DC and File server, the second is an Application server, and some printers, in the remote office we don't have any server, but i'm planing to setup an additional DC in the branch office to minimize the load upon this weak link, and schedule the replication in the night between the 2 DC
