phoned d-link... apparently this is a "limitation" of this product. it only allows one pc from each wan ip address to connect to it at a time. however, we have others (dlinks same model) that allow more than one pc on the same wan ip address to connect. STRANGE DLINK!

yep just an ordinary windowns vpn. The strange thing is, after waiting a day or so, i can connect with a different ip address sometimes... it is the same at different sites. eg, site one connects to site two. and site three connects to site two. but same problem at sites one and three...

i ran up an nt4 server and shared the db. there is no issue with speed now. So, this points to the server - i might try a different nic and see if what you are saying is on the right track. I have tried setting speed hard to 1 gig full and switch. Thanks...

looks like an access db... or whatever myob retail manager uses.

hello everyone... thanks for your help. just one more question. when winzip finds no files to zip - how can i make it ignore and close? it wants me to click on a window to acknowledge the message when it can't find any files to zip. any help would be appreciated..

There are 4 files, total size of approx 500Mb... No subfolders. I tried exit after the batch job and both processes still remain. I also tried "-m" and "-f", and "-u" for the winzip options. It does speed things up but the processes don't terminate once the job completes. thanks..

Hi, how can i let a certain ip address bypass the use of the proxy... it is squid on linux. Thanks..

The batch file is: <start> "C:\Program Files\WinZip\winzip32" -min -m "c:\backup\belvoirsql\Belvior.zip" "c:\backup\belvoirsql" <end> I am guessing that if i just add "exit" to the end it will solve the cmd.exe process; however, how about the winzip process? Thanks..
