Scott, Ah, that is right. I don't believe I have been able to initiate a connection from my LAN. I have been testing with some coworkers at a remote jobsite using their hotel LAN. They cannot open ports on their router/gateway but they have been able to connect with kaboodle and with VNC stand alone using add new client.
I opened ports 4182, 4183 and 5500(VNC) on my gateway. However, sometimes they can connect, sometimes they can't. I can't figure it out yet. It may have something to do with the Zebedee server file. I did edit it because, well, it said I had to!!! But, I am pretty sure that I only worked on the VNC ports / portion of that file. If you decide to include IP or FQDN address field, why don't you think about adding a delete feature for the partnership files on the website or at least the ability to create (overwrite) a new file. The reason I say that is because I work with a couple of people that travel a lot. Even though Kaboodle searches for the partnership/registration files, we may never use the same IP address again that we used to create our files with. Do both firewalls need to be open for the file transfer feature? If the router at the hotel needs to be open, that would present an issue. I do remember seeing an email archive regarding the ports. Do I need to open port 11965 exactly or can I use another port that is open? [snip] From: Scott C.

Open TCP ports 4182 and NNNN on your firewall and forward those ports to the two Kaboodle PC's. "NNNN" is whatever you want it to be; it defaults to the Zebedee default port of 11965. You'll see where to adjust it in the VPN Service icon. Just don't pick a TCP port that your PC is already using for something else. :) [snip] Your idea of a 'hub' like system would work well in a lot of situations. I would like to see that implimented.

Yeah, I noticed that too: sometimes during testing we can initiate a VPN connection only from one side, but not the other. I'm going to change the mechanics of getting connected for the 1.0 version to enable a more robust connection scheme, including a IP or FQDN address field for fallback. Once a GetEngaged connection is running, though, I've had no trouble doing a file-transfer from one Kaboodle instance to another. You shouldn't have to touch the default Zebedee settings at all: just install that utility on both ends of the connection, poke a hole in any firewalls (the Zebedee default port is TCP-11965), and it'll work. The only time I've seen it not work is when the control-channel (setup by Kaboodle) is active, but the data-channel (setup by Zebedee) isn't. One thing I'm going to keep looking into is enabling Kaboodle GetEngaged connections when only *one* side has the firewall setup correctly. That'll make it a lot easier. If it's doable, then the KaboodlePro version can support a "hub" like system, where user-A and user-B (who run the base version of Kaboodle) can now see each other *via* user-C (who runs the KaboodlePro version). In this model, only user-C needs to get their firewall settings "right", everyone else can just connect as easily as pointing a browser at a webpage. I'll keep you posted of the bug-fix version of 0.99. My main developer's down with the flu right now, so we're a little behind schedule. -Scott On Thu, 27 Feb 2003, Jim McCabe wrote: > Scott, > So far it looks good. > > I am interested in more content.
