Minal:
Hello! I've not yet been able to try your suggestion to fix
the VPN connectivity. I will try it out soon.
And yes, enjoy the Festival of Lights! I think the
salutation is: "Diwali Ki Hardik Shubhkamnayein!".
Now to your questions:

Same as VNC, File-transfer, or anything else: Zebedee tunnels
all data connections between networks.

All data connections between LANs must use Zebedee. The
"Kaboodle channel" is only for Kaboodle talking control channel stuff
to Kaboodle.

According to Kaboodle's limited view of the world, only
Printers and Appliances are checked for running a web server. If
a server is detected, it is put into the Web Server list -- not all
printers will qualify. Thing is, these devices are scanned only
when they are first "classified". If a web server is turned on
sometime after the device is classified, the only way to detect it
is with a Refresh button.
Hope this helps!
