Installed on a LAN, server on workstations, viewer on mine.

Question: should the password used for the session when installing be something quite complex or is it just an authorisation thing that helps have on there?
 
doesn't really matter at all for non internet use

if you use it over the internet, then definatly use it over hamachi its a freeware easy to setup virtual private network (so you can see each other and share files, ping etc over the internet as if you were on the same network :) )

You again!! Heh, thanks mate.

I'll have to think of some harder questions for you. ;)
 
well i can answer "the chicken or the egg" question in the meantime

the egg came first (if you believe in evolution), whatever laid the egg wasn't a chicken, it was a kind of pre-chicken, then it evolved into a full chicken in the egg and was hatched as the first chicken :p
 
This hamachi..i already have a number of PCs connected to a domain; if i wanted to create a separate hamachi VPN how would that work? Does it create some to manage this VPN without affecting the win2k3 domain?

We have colleagues in France that i could see this being useful for.

Meaning of life?...if you feel i'm worthy of knowing of course..
 
it creates a new network connection and when it can't resolve a computer using the normal connection it'll look on the hamachi one instead, and its a software connection so you don't need to forward ports to it, you just allow it in your firewall

give it a test, it doesn't mess with other settings or connections (and there are ways of registering it as a service)

-actually the premium (aimed at corporate/domains) has a built in service option

the speeds are obviously limited to the connection you have, but it works really well

i use it for lan gaming over the internet, remote desktop, vnc (sometimes), windows file sharing.

there are linux and mac versions of it too
