Hi,

Can you give me some tips on how to set up an active directory and VPN. I’m running windows 2003 server using NT domain. Will I be able to use NT4 box as a PDC and then use the 2003 box for domain controlling active directories?

Please give your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I have used Avast for years. Some of my friends swear by Kaspersky. Is there a huge difference between the two? I’m also interested in purchasing the Avast Internet Security program. I work at home for a couple different companies, and I don’t need someone getting a hold of their information as well as mine. Is it worth buying Avast?

I have installed Hamachi, but it is acting weirdly. I have no idea what happened to it as it is getting an error saying,

Hamachi has lost the connection to the engine. I tried to restart both the application and my computer, but it does not change anything at all.

This error pops up every time Hamachi is opened.

Am I the only one experiencing the issue?

If not, can anybody give any suggestion to resolve this?

Error:

What type of Virtual Private Network is good for my business? I have a small company from 5 employees, I need to create a VPN (Virtual Private Network). My team is from salespeople, who are not in fixed location. They are roaming users.

I've configured a site to site VPN between two TMG servers. However, I can only ping a machine on the remote site when logged on to the TMG server. I can't ping it from any other machine in the network. Any idea how I can sort this out? The TMG server is the default gateway.

I have just connected my VPN so I know I have a connection on. But when trying to load pages like www. yahoo. com or www. Google. com, the page does not load. I also tried sending mails and let someone send me a mail.

What can I do to fix this problem with my VPN?

It would be my first time to travel to China next month and I'd be staying there for 6 months.

I am aware that a lot of sites are blocked in China but I need to use the internet for work most of the time so I wanted to know if anyone here can recommend a very good VPN provider that I can avail during my stay in China.

Why does my connection to the Windows Domain drop or suddenly disconnects when I'm using the VPN?

I'm currently using the VPN tunnel, should I also use SSH and other "high layer" encrypted services?

What workaround can I do to avoid my AOL broadband connection from dropping or not connecting when I connect to VPN?
