Yes. MS Networking, NetWare IP, and AppleShare IP all work over a VPN connection. Drive mounting or file sharing which relies on non-IP protocols such as AppleTalk or IPX will not work. However, TSS does not support mounting of servers outside of NUNET. If you wish to mount a department's server, please contact your UNITS representative for instructions.

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.

A VPN is a network in which at least one of its components uses the Internet but is works like a private network, using for that encoding techniques. It is the connection system that any SATNODE user utilizes to communicate with the server Host of SatNode. It is possible to activate terminals used with another supplier as long as, if we use the same satellite, the MAC address of the equipment has been freed in the previous supplier, since the same MAC address cannot be registered twice.

Remote Data Backups is designed to back up a single computer and does not currently support backing up network drives. To map a network drive in Windows XP, Click the Tools menu and click Map Network Drive. Select a drive letter such as Z: Click Browse and use My Network Places to select the computer drive or folder you want to back up. Click OK. Make sure "Reconnect at logon" is checked. Click Finish.

should work. If it does not, you must edit your /etc/fstab file and add a line that refers to your CD-ROM device. In more recent versions of Red Hat Linux, your CD-ROM is more likely to be something like /dev/cdrom. To find out what the CD-ROM device is for your system, type

A motor drive is necessary for many for many types of astrophotography, and it is more than just a convenience for visual observing. At 200X magnification, the Earth’s rotationwill move an object out of your field of view in about five seconds. A Right Ascension ( R/A ) motor drive will keep an objectin the centre of your field where the image is the best without producing the objectionable vibrations experience when tracking manually.

For security reasons this facility has been blocked but you can still access your files using webfolders. The VPN service only supports IP traffic, so servers using IPX are not accessible. Please note that IPX and Appletalk are being phased out across campus in favour of an IP only network.

While Casper Tech Edition has limited support for copying from mapped network drives (remote shares) to a local drive, it does not support copying to mapped network drives from a local drive.

Unfortunately no, we don't stock or supply any spares. What we do recommend is searching eBay for the items you need, eg "USB FLOPPY".

Yes... But you must first map path drive to a drive letter. UNC style connections are not supported at this time.

A VPN creates the effect of a private, leased line network, but without the associated design, deployment, cost and vulnerability issues. Dedicated circuits are established between the host location, the closest Central Office and the subscriber location. Dedicated circuits are not established between various subscriber locations.

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. We provide VPNs to customers for $15.00 a month per location. With hosted VPN service, there is no equipment to buy, configure, or manage, because we take care of it for you as part of your monthly service fee. We also install and work on all types of customer-owned VPNs. Ask your Mercury Network representative or visit the IT Services section of our web site for details.

Some faculty and staff VPN users (but NOT students) may need access to departmental LAN resources (such as shared departmental files and programs). Faculty and staff who need access to departmental resources should contact their departmental CSC for the specific detailed information.

YES! That's one of the reasons we assign each customer a static IP address. You may use your static IP address and any off-the-shelf VPN software, which you'll set up and manage yourself.

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.

VPN uses the Internet to connect remote sites or users together. A VPN uses secure, password-protected "virtual" connections routed through the Internet from the company's private network to, in this case, the remote site of CherryOne Tech Support. Request a quote online today!
