I think it's possible to estabish a VPN connection from the command-line. If so, you could script the startup of the vpn and the addition of routes. Keep in mind that if you're using a vendor's VPN client such as Cisco or Nortel, then the administrator of the VPN concentrator can choose to...

What are the IP addresses, subnet masks and default gateway on each? It's possible that they've been assigned DHCP addresses on different networks. Wade

The Cisco client works fine, so that should be no issue. The administrator can even give you one of the PC profiles to use - you just need to convert the linebreaks to Unix and put it in /etc/CiscoSystemsVPNClient/Profiles. Wade

Why not put them in a subdirectory of your home directory? If you want to, make it readable only by root. Wade

It appears the problem is encryption related. One side is demanding encryption and the other side is refusing. It looks like it's your side that's demanding it, but since I don't have a ton of experience with those logs, I can't say for sure. Wade

Firewire would not a realistic option for long distances. Get yourself a Linksys Ethernet switch and connect the machines together with Ethernet. You'll be glad you did. Although wireless has a theoretical speed of 54 Mbps, it will never come close to acheiving that. And while you...

Sure. Just set the airport to bridge, not distribute address, and set your Mac's address manually. Wade

It'd be easier to answer if you post the IP addresses and subnet masks. Then we can tell more about why they're not able to talk to each other correctly. The other thing you could investigate is whether the DSL modem has the capability to act as a NAT router. If that were the case, you...

Could possibly be an MTU problem. Go into the advanced settings for your Ethernet connection and lower the MTU to something like 1400. This will allow for the extra overhead of IPSEC. Wade

First, remove the wireless from the equation. Do all your tests connected straight from the iBook to the DSL Modem with Ethernet. The DSL modem should have a link light on it (usually green) that indicates whether or not the Ethernet connection is working. When your PC is hooked up and...

Looking at the OpenVPN man page, it appears to me that the keepalive option you have specified in your config file is invalid. Remove that line and try it again. You can view the man page here: http://andthatsjazz.org:8/openvpn/man.html

ldd is a Linux thing (maybe others too). On the Mac, it's "otool -L" What others have said is correct - if you don't have all the source code to this application, it's not going to work. Wade

Well, if you want to stay that Microsoft-focused, life's probably going to be a bit more difficult. There is no option for programming in Visual Basic on the Mac. The closest thing would be RealBasic. I'm sure you can access SQLServer from some of the DB tools on the Mac, but it would...

First, I would seriously consider dumping OS 9 support. If you're new to the Mac, dealing with the idiosyncracies of OS 9 and the fewer supported functions is going to do nothing but add to your frustration. Since FSpOpenResFile takes a FSSpec, you'll need to convert from a full path to a...

You're going to have to use a combination of products. I think XCode 2.0 will provide some similar features to VSEA's UML-diagramming and header-generation. Unfortunately, it doesn't come out until Tiger. The database stuff would depend largely on what type of database you're using. A...

Robert, I don't have any code, but what you would do is: 1) Use the File Manager functions to locate the files. 2) Call FSpOpenResFile to open the file and read its resource map into memory...

You need to include the /sw/include path into your header search path. Then you won't have to run around editing header files all over the place. To add a search path, find the CC_FLAGS = line in the Makefile and add: -I/sw/include But this begs the question - I assume you've...

Al, I'm a little confused. It sounds like you're taking a C++ class, but then you also mention VisualBasic? Which is it that's required for your class? If it's VisualBasic, the closest thing on the Mac would be RealBasic. If it's C++, then you already have the compilers and IDE...

The first thing you have to decide is what language you want to use OpenGL from. If it's from Objective C, then what I say below doesn't apply. However, since you mention C++ (or C for that matter) the advice below would apply. To program in OpenGL, the first thing you have to decide is...

OpenGL is accessible from Objective-C, C and C++, RealBasic (I think) and probably some others. Wade
