Is this possible? I just want to connect two computers over the internet as if they are in the same network. This doesnt have to be VPN I dont care about security I just want to get them connected as if they are on the same network. I dont really want to have to use third party software because I dotn want to go through anyone elses servers but if it is software that lets me directly connect I am ok with that.

Is there anyway to set this up in my linksys router? Can I use windows VPN? What is the easiest way to get this accomplished? Can you somehow connect two routers through internet like one is 192.168.1.1 and one is 192.168.2.1? Like I said I dont really care how it is done I just need it done.

Please let me know the easiest way to connect two computers through internet so that they are on the same network. Thank you, Dakota. +1 for LogMeIn Hamachi. Yes, you do use their server, but once connected, that server drops out of the picture. You're always connected DIRECTLY to each other. Heck, I’ve even used it for computers all located behind my firewall!

I can drop the Internet connection and it continues to function. All that the Hamachi server does is make it easier to locate and authenticate your VPN partners. And you don’t need to manage firewall ports either.

If you’ve never used Hamachi, you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s easy and works great. I guess the next best solution would be to establish VPN servers on each network, then cross connect your clients.

Of course, each would need to be using different subnets (which it appears is already the case). And you’d need to open/forward the appropriate ports (e.g., 1723 for PPTP). And of course each router would need to support VPN pass-through. And you would need DDNS for location services. And need to make sure your security is setup correctly (anything less than SSL, which Hamachi uses, it’s always suspect in my mind), although you seem less concerned than most ppl, so perhaps PPTP is ok.

Normally when you install CCS the drivers get also installed and should recognize your launchpad. Try to get the latest version of CCS and try reinstalling, maybe that solves your problem. There is a new 5.1 release from february and a 5.2 beta (which must not be installed over an exisiting 5.1 installation). Novation SL MkII User Manual. Use to connect an expression pedal.

You’ll also want to decide if Internet requests would remain local or use the VPN (probably the former). IOW, it can be done, but takes far more work. It’s up to you. A search of Google will reveal plenty of guides on the 'net for setting up both a Windows VPN server and VPN client (it’s all built-in).

No point repeating it all here. The simplest is PPTP. I recommend using MSCHAP2 exclusively for maximum security. The premise of most VPNs is that you’re being given secured access to another network, but that doesn’t mean you want to lose access to your local network in the process.

If you didn’t have unique subnets, there would be confusion when referencing local vs. Remote resources. This is another example of where Hamachi differs (and perhaps is better). Hamachi essentially “joins” the networks to a third subnet (5.x.x.x), so you don’t have any conflicts. So each side would establish their VPN server and port forward to that server on their respective routers.

And each side would create client connections to those remote VPN servers based on their respective public IPs. On the VPN client, you’ll want to decide if gateway requests should be handled locally or passed to the VPN (configurable on the VPN client). Acoustic echo cancellation software informer. On the VPN server, you’ll want to decide if the VPN clients should have access to local resources or only that machine (configurable on the VPN server).

It’s really not all that difficult. Just try it and stumble along, see how far you get, you’ll learn more. Only gotcha I’ve found is that I usually have to specify a specific IP range on the VPN server. DHCP doesn’t seem to work (I believe it’s a policy issue). Thanks for the help. I do have a couple more questions. I have set up a VPN on my computer as the host and we have successfully connected but every time we connect it will last for a minute or two and then the client computer will lose internet connection completely.

Something is conflicting with another. I think it may be what your saying with the subnet as I am still a little confused on what you mean by that. Are you saying one computer needs to be 255.255.255.0 and the other 255.255.0.0? I dont think thats what you mean but im not sure. Also do we need three computers for this to work? Does there need to be a third computer to actually be the VPN server or can one of the two computers be the server and the other the client? My local IP address is 192.168.3.100 and his local IP address is 192.168.1.2 We connected together like I said but after we connect windows gets mad at something and he loses his internet completely.
