I can connect with pptp but would like to be able to use the more secure ipsec. Can anyone recommend a way to do it? I am looking for a step-by-step tutorial? Client would be mainly xp-based but a few Mac osx and linuxes as well. Many thanks, Csaba Hi, I just recently purchased an RV042 but am unable to connect to via vpn.

On the 1240 the battery is under the little board abt 1" by 2" held down by two screws - on the left about 1" in from the telephone jack. Battery CR1220 from Halfords and a set of small specialist screwdrivers to get the wretched screws back in - just two left over from the case. Little blighters! Needed the original wretched Compaq restore disk to get the machine to life again. Now for trying to get Linux on there somehow. (PC World wouldnt even look at changing the battery - £60 at least and then might be soldered in blah blah - 10 mins and a thumping heart and a pair of old screwdrivers to get it apart - modern magnetic screwdrivers to put it back - all it took!!)

I'm using Mocha VNC Lite on my iPhone which works great at running a local PC (TightVNC) while I'm on the WiFi network, but obviously won't work away from the office. Has anyone tried this? Does it work with 3G service? Any special setup tips? Have you had any luck configuring an iPhone to log in to this VPN server?

I stumbled across your blog when I was looking for Brazilian music related websites. I was wondering if you would be interested in checking out a new Brazilian fusion band from Brooklyn, Nation Beat. Here is a link for three free tracks from our brand new album. We hope you enjoy! http://www.nationbeat.com/freetracks/ -NB Here is a bit of writing from the press release: "...Nation Beat specializes in Brazilian (maracatu) and New Orleans second-line funk... the obvious affection for their sources and sheer moxie they bring make Nation Beat's sound near addictive." -- Time Out Chicago Which nation, and which beat? What makes this group special is that it offers no simple answers. They are rhythm gatherers, harvesting the fruit of 500 years of cultural crossbreeding, which is why the sounds of the northeast of Brazil and the southern United States blend together so seamlessly; NPR's All Things Considered music writer Banning Eyre calls them "the most original and alluring fusion group I have heard in years." At the heart of Nation Beat's new album, Legends of the Preacher, lies a totally original 21st century fusion between thunderous Brazilian maracatu drumming and New Orleans second line rhythms, Appalachian-inspired bluegrass music, funk, rock, and country-blues. Conjuring the spirit of powerful and liberated carnival queens, rising Brazilian star Liliana Araujo fronts the ensemble with her soaring powerhouse vocals. A recent finalist on Brazil's "American Idol" spin-off program FAMA, Araujo evokes the righteous soul singers of America's gold age of soul. Bandleader Scott Kettner describes maracatu as "a really high-energy, percussive, Afro-Brazilian dance rhythm that gets all up in your bones and makes you shake. Imagine the sound of thunder when you see a big storm coming across the ocean -- that's what it sounds like when a maracatu group is parading toward you in Brazil." Nation Beat brings the audacious energy of this musical storm to both their recorded work and especially their electric live performances. As a result, their explosive live show has attracted music fans from a wide demographic: bluegrass and country music fans, Brazilian music lovers, outdoor festival-goers, and pretty much anyone who loves to dance.
