>Doesn't have the server moderating the connection have to store the password I assign and couldn't that bee misused? No it stores the hash of the password. I have found several places where I just couldn't get either VNC or remote desktop to work. Some kind of router issue. Since this tunnel goes through the firewall it appears that you are supposed to be able to put in the 05.XX IP address and "connect" that way, right through the firewalls. It did NOT work for me at one of my client's though. The Hamachi site says that about 5% of the time this problem may occur so maybe I just hit one of those times. John W.

Since I still use Windows 2000 without the remote desktop feature of XP I use UltraVNC for remote support. Works great as well. UltraVnc (http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/) is also free and works faster and more reliable than anything else I used before. Himachi is supposed to solve the security problem when using the internet as your network connection. I listened to Steve Gibsons Episode18 mp3-track on Himachi. He states that it is absolutely secure. I still have an uncertain feeling about what I should think about it since I'm not that knowledgeable about the whole subject. Doesn't have the server moderating the connection have to store the password I assign and couldn't that bee misused?

Januar 2006 21:01 An: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Betreff: [AccessD] Himachi If I can get this thing working I have several immediate applications for it. I have two different client companies that need a network between dispersed locations, specifically so that they can do backups to remote locations. I am about to write a piece of code that organizes emails from contractors into folders. It will strip off attached documents which are equipment documentation, store them in an external hard disk (usb) and if I can get this private network working, it will then also write to an identical external hard disk at my client's home office so that all documents are immediately backed up in two different physical locations. If the client picks up his email at home and runs the program, it will save the documents to the home office drive, and then also to the drive in his office. I have been looking for a way to do this kind of thing that doesn't require a Notwork guy to maintain the thing. For it to work, my client has to be able to set it up on the two machines. An additional benefit is that I may be able to set up remote desktop over this virtual network so that I can support him. This Hamachi might be just the ticket. John W.
