Many thanks for the pointer! I'd shied away from looking into other virtual networking solutions, because they seemed to require a PhD in networking just to follow the README (and I only have a PhD in computing theory :-)) But this was pretty easy to install and set up, and seems to do pretty much what I need. (Well, once I'd worked out that despite my answering YES to some bit of WinXP asking me "are you sure you want to run this Dangerous piece of software?", Windows Firewall *still* didn't open up the necessary ports. This is the point where I probably used Bad Words last time... "Genuine Advantage" my <Jim Royle>.) The free version doesn't support encryption, but then I'm only using it over my encrypted (albeit WEP) WiFi network. They might deserve a registration anyway. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31399 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
