Yes. To set up multiple computers to connect through your broadband provider from off-campus requires a router. However, some routers are incompatible with our VPN software. The current version of Cisco's VPN software available from this web site supports Apple's Airport Basestation and Basestation Extreme. Please contact your computer support liaison at Haverford for additional information and suggestions.

Yes, EarthLink Home Networking* lets you share one high speed connection on all your home computers, as well as share files, printers, and peripherals. And with the free wireless equipment that comes with EarthLink Home Networking, you can enjoy high speed access as you move around your home with a laptop, even connecting from the front porch or backyard.

VPN may be used via a number of home routers (such as Linksys, Netgear and Apple Airport Base Station [except the Graphite model]). While other devices may work with VPN, these are the only brands we know have been tested.

Yes. For step-by-step instructions, please visit our Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sd/cb/deanews.asp. Additional forms can be printed from the CBEDS Instructional Materials Web site or the CBEDS software. Copies can also be made from blank forms. If there is a problem with your shipment (no shipment, incorrect materials, etc.), contact the Educational Demographics Office, at 916-327-0219.

Unfortunately no. We understand that some people like to use two or more computers to spread out and see more at once. It is technically not possible to distinguish between one person using one account on two computers, and two people using one account on two computers.Therefore this is not allowed either.

All computers in your home network should be protected by a firewall. A firewall helps to prevent the spread of viruses or worms across your network if they infect one computer. A computer on the network could also become infected through a separate Internet connection, such as a laptop that is used on your home network and on public networks. Or, a virus could be introduced to a computer on your network through software installed from a CD or floppy disk.

VPN allows you to use the same email configuration away that you use on campus. See Install and Configure Eudora.

Yes. Just make sure that you leave the <unchanged> mark on all the restrictions, except for the one you want to activate.

Yes. If you have multiple network connections on any of your computers, you should turn on the firewall for each connection. If you're running Windows XP SP2, Windows Firewall is turned on automatically and it should not interfere with common tasks like file and print sharing. If you're not running Windows XP Service Pack 2, Internet Connection Firewall can interfere with file and print sharing and prevent your computer from finding other network devices.

If you are currently using a wireless network based on 802.11b, yes! 802.11b uses wired equivalent privacy (WEP) to provide link based encryption of wireless transmissions. Recently, weaknesses have been discovered in the RC4 key scheduling algorithm which allows someone to easily recover the encryption key, and thus decrypt the wireless traffic. VPN is an excellent replacement for WEP. Using VPN with triple DES encryption is generally considered to be very strong encryption.

UC supports computers running Windows, Macintosh, and Linux VPN clients. If you have workstations running operating systems other than these, call the UCit Help Desk at 556-4357.

Most VPN client software is either provided by the VPN vendor or integrated in the operating system (OS). For example, Microsoft's Windows operating system has built in support for the PPTP, IPsec, and L2TP VPN protocols. IPsec is an industry-wide standard suite of protocols and algorithms that allows for secure data transmission over an IP-based network and it functions on the Network Layer of the OSI model.

Probably. Any wireless receiver supporting the industry standard 802.11b or 802.11g protocols should work. However, in rare cases, we have found wireless receivers which had compatibility issues with the computer upon which it was installed.

Yes. You can use the DA on as many computers as you need to; however, your license is only allowed to be active on one computer at a time.

Yes! You will need a router to connect more than one computer. We will give you or your computer professional instructions on how to program the router to talk to your antenna. If you need a referral, just give us a call.

Fill in the Destination IP range. In most cases, 192.168.0.0/16 (home or small corporate LAN) or 10.0.0.0/8 (large corporate LAN). Yes. Rules are examined in ascending order (from top to bottom). If the rule does match, then all following rules are ignored. It seems your corporate HTTP proxy doesn't allow connections to specific destination port. The solution will be to use another external proxy (one that resides outside your corporate network).

Yes. Wired and Wireless routers have controls that will allow you to see who is logged into your home network. The AOL for Broadband Compatible routers can all be accessed through a web browser on your attached PC using the IP numbers supplied by the manufacturer(192.168.1.1 for Linksys, 192.168.0.1 for Netgear, 192.168.0.1 for Actiontec). For other router brands or models you should consult their instructions or contact the manufacturer.

Home networks can be setup in a number of different ways and usually use NAT to share a single IP address with the rest of the network. Since there are so many different ways to run a home network we can't provide support to users on this issue. There are a few ways you can connect to the VPN but they may not all be possible depending on your ISP and the type of NAT router you use. These same options also work with wireless networks.

You can use the PPTP VPN client that is built into Windows. For details on how to configure this. Click here. Providing the third party appliance supports IPSec VPN there shouldn't be any problems. If you need to know for sure, please contact us.

Yes, skyDSL can be used with several computers. You need to install the software on your "main computer" to which the other PCs are connected. At the main computer, you have to make sure in the configuration dialog that all connected PCs are allowed to access the main computer. Enter the IP address and the subnet mask of the skyDSL computer in order to grant access to other PCs in the same network by means of certain protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Socks).

es, you can install any type of internet sharing systems. We have found certain Wi-Fi home wireless systems do not work well with wireless Ethernet. We can provide you with a known workable solution for a small fee. We do restrict sharing of activity to be contained within a single residential home or office. If we discover that internet sharing is being used to allow other homes or businesses to have service, your service will be discontinued as outlined in the contract.

Only one computer may connect to the username at a time unless multiple concurrency is purchased. We can provision you with an unlimited number of connections for a single username however the rate of each session is the same as an additional account. If you want this, setup your first user and then contact billing and request multiple concurrency. This is great for company accounts, or any account which needs to be shared amongst many users from multiple computers.

Yes, absolutely. You can log in with the same email address and password from any of your computers – from any computer on the internet for that matter. The catch is – if you're on the road and using a computer at an FBO, for example, definitely be sure to log out when you're done. Otherwise, if you stay logged in on some FBO computer, the next guy to come along would be able to mess with your profile.

Yes. You can use the same account on as many systems as you'd like. You will not need to buy multiple accounts. Note that only one system can be connected to the Internet at a time (no simultaneous log-ins).

Our pricing policy allows one registered user to use our service from multiple computers, but only one at a time, i.e. you cannot access our service from more than one computer simultaneously.

The basic packages include 5 licenses for 5 computers on a LAN. Those 5 users can be any combination of active readers or administrative nodes. The files can be shared from a single mapped network path on a server or or workstation. We do not install a separate copy of the data file on each node. So you can have two reader systems at different locations, a node in accounting to handle the payroll reporting and a node in the manager's office to handle scheduling and viewing active logins.

Yes, there will be no extra charge for this, but bear in mind that intensive use may cause the speed to suffer and you might want to upgrade to a faster package.
