Home VPN

[jmbender]

Anyone use or have configured a Home VPN?

I am not talking about connecting to your employers cisco VPN, i mean so you and a friend can connect and access whatever or do whatever (gaming)

Just curious what people use and what works with WIN7

Yes, jmbender i have, although i have yet to set it up for win7 as of yet. I just assume its not much different from XP. I rather use MS vpn, instead of installing a third party like Hamachi or openVpn (which i did pickup, yet to check it out).

Hmm, I am starting to think that there is no setup of VPN, only vpn connections outbound............ Yikes!

Certainly I am just not finding it, i hope... but i have searched and searched myself just now

Anyone, help on this? Is it avaiable for setup in win7 like for XP? I'm on ultimate install so i would have just assumed it was available, but so far no good.

Am going to take a good guess and say that this has to be configured thru the IAS/Radius Server?

yeah using openvpn...
sorry...
guessing thats the only viable way...
also pickup the beta which is compatible with vista (just checking if you knew..)

unbelievable for MS NOT to include this for 7 in any build/version?? Wow, this sort of a big factor here. Why in the world would they not include it? I'm sure some ppl like to use open/hamachi or whatever, but for MS not to include their own... on an Ultimate version at that

yeah

So yeah thats what i was thinking too, that windows 7 does not include a home vpn service like Vista and XP..... pretty upsetting....
