Thanks for the help, thats what I was looking for. This is an awesome forum!!!

I realize from previous experience and posts how to uninstall existing devices. However how do you remove traces of old devices that aren't listed anymore? In Win 2K A/R Hardware would show you old CD drives,hard drives, display adapters and more, where is this in XP and don't say the device...

Thanks for the wise words and help. I understand there are many eccentricities involved in higher end management and manufacturing software. I was just trying to help out a struggling company of 60 or so employee's that's been hit hard from 9/11 recession with their upgrade to newer workstations...

Thanks for the replies. I was logged in to the local workstation as a user with administrative rights not the administrator. No I don't know what version of betrieve or how to even check to see what version. (Possibly in the ODBC settings in administrative tools?) Do I need to install betrieve...

What are the proper steps for a Win 2K install of Macola 7.5.103f. My client has a Netware 4.11 server and can't locate the manuals. Have all the CD's though and license disks. I ran setup from the install folder (f:\macola70\install\setup.exe) on the server and almost immediately the install...

Just a side note is this WAN filter suppose to be basic knowledge? Also I was told by Linksys support that the BEFVP41 works with DSL, Cable & T1 connections but not a fractured T1. Is there another solution because one of the remote sites of the 2 is a fractured T1. Oh boy here we go again.

Low and behold my problem was that by default the BEFVP41 has a block WAN request filter enabled. Linksys support caught that one, every now and then you end up connecting with someone knowledgeable in Linksys support. Guess I got lucky.

Well I got another BEFVP41 to connect from remote office to main office. Still not there yet though. I followed the superb drawing by RGN and made sure both BEFVP41's are using the same firmware 1.40.2, setup the Key area identical on both ends, made sure both advanced IPSEC pages are identical...

I am a computer consultant with what I consider a vast knowledge of PC's and local area networks. However I have never attempted to setup a VPN before now. I found this Tek-Tip thread about the BEFVP41 quite enlighting and it also answered a number of questions I had but also posed a couple new...
