I’am planning to make a VPN connection. So i can go on the internet with my ipod touch. I just want to know if people can like hack onto your computer if they try to go on it?
Yeh well i don’t have wifi

I am currently attending a university which allows internet access by opening PuTTY and keeping it open while I surf. If I close PuTTY I no longer have connection to the internet. I am trying to use a VPN and PuTTY at the same time but PuTTY always experiences an error when I open the VPN connection. The issue is not throughput overload. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. If anyone has any experience with this "tunnel within a tunnel" configuration your help would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Does someone knows another vpn software that i can use from home besides the netgear vpn client? Are there any open source programs that i can use to create a vpn connection from home to my office? If there is can someone provide me instructions on how can i accomplish this?

Thanks

When I’m working from home, I use one computer to connect to my work’s VPN. I recently got a new Vista computer for my home to replace my old XP tower. Now, whenever I boot up the Vista computer my work computer gets disconnected from the VPN. Why would the Vista computer be interfering with the VPN connection and are there any settings that I can change to prevent this problem?

Any information about the computer that you need just ask.

Thanks

I have two pc’s connecting via a broadband router. I want both to be able to connect to using a vpn to the same location. when one is connected and the other tries to connect, it cannot. If I cannot get both computers to connect – can I use Internet Connection Sharing to share a VPN connection?

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.

I’m trying to connect my Netbook to my home network. Instead of connecting, I get this message: “VPN connection error 800: Unable to establish connection.” This hasn’t been a problem before. Is this because I’m using a new router? I just bought a new one about the time this started.

I am telecommuting to a university and need to access a shared drive there. I am using a wireless home connection, and am logged into the VPN connection, but when I try to map the drive I get this error message: "The drive could not be mapped because no network was found."
