RE: Netgear SC101 - A tiny problem

["Nigel Giddings" <nigel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,



This won't help you but it may help me...



I bought one of these early this year and had no end of problems... I'm
no network Guru but like to think I am at least a sophisticated user...
I tried for weeks to get this to function properly to no avail, don't
even get me started on the support desk...



My problems could have been more to do with Active Directory and Domain
control but my feeling is if it's any more than 2 PCs on a 'Hub' then
the SC101 is not for you....



I'm feeling better already...



Nigel

I don't think it does 'proper' networking and relies on software of the
client machines to access it instead of stuff like the standard
protocols.

If this is the case I think you might won't be able to use it the way
you
want - what's acting as the VPN endpoint, is it a PC or a router?
