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.

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. See similar questions...

Please refer to the user guide on how to configure your wireless LAN card to obtain IP addresses from remote server. See similar questions...

Anti-virus software is vital software for any PC. This software protects your computer from malicious files (computer viruses, worm files) that attempt to load themselves on to your machine and carry out commands, damage data, reproduce themselves, and infect other machines. Anti-virus software should be regularly updated and set to work actively, preventing computer infections by these malicious programs. See similar questions...

Personal Firewall software is important software for any home computer user who has a broadband (cable modem or DSL) connection. These types of connections are set to be connected to the Internet always, just like a networked computer at the office. Therefore, your computer is regularly accessible from the Internet. A personal firewall will protect your computer from unwanted access and attack, as well as letting you know when certain types of software attempt to do suspicious activity. See similar questions...

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.

Yes, although Air-Band uses the 2.4 GHZ frequency band. Our equipment uses a frequency hopping system which means that data is sent by a different frequency every 50th of a second. If the signal finds a frequency that is being used by another device (e.g. your wireless network) it will simply 'hop' to another unused frequency. The equipments 'intelligence' means it will soon 'learn' which frequencies are occupied by your own network devices and will know not to try to use them. See similar questions...

A.09 This question gets asked periodically and is not simple to answer correctly, because the question itself is often mis-stated by most users who ask it. Database applications (like the Simple Start Software) don't provide a magical solution that could figure out what work you did on one computer and then somehow figure its way back to the other computer.

A simple VPN is a "virtual" tunnel between two machines. All network traffic between these machines passes through this "virtual" tunnel. A VPN typically uses mechanisms such as authentication and encryption to ensure data integrity and confidentiality. VPN's are typically used to provide secure communication between systems across the Internet. Company to company or branch-office to head-office secured communications are common examples.

Not easily. Once upon a time there was a card called the "Ecolink" to do this. However, few were made, they weren't always completely reliable, and the drivers only work with MS-DOS 3.3. An Ecolink is probably not something you want to install, except for historical interest value. If all you want to do is be able to talk TCP/IP with machines on the Econet, you can use an Archimedes equipped with Econet and some other interface (Ethernet, serial line, ...) as a gateway.

This icon near your password means that your password gets encrypted using MD5 hash algorithm (RSA Data Security, Inc 128 bit). Encryption makes it very difficult for unauthorized people to view information traveling between computers. It is therefore very unlikely that anyone read your password as it traveled across the network. See similar questions...
