[QUOTE="damhy, post: 56439, member: 181680"] yeah we do and I immediately dismissed it. The reason is that when you use VPN, you have to connect, so if IP addresses changed then you need to find out the address and change it all round in the settings. And also, more annoyingly when you are the VPN client you lose your connection to everything and your computer dedicates itself to the VPN. So no more surfing the net unless the person you connect to shares his connection with you. There is a way round this of course, by modifying your LMHOST file you can trick the computer in to setting up windows sharesm although this isnt encyrypted and so could be considered stupid. Also there is a speed problem cos we are both on TW and my upstream is 128k being on a lower package, so an alternate network would be faster. [/QUOTE]
