477591 2006-08-17 10:16:00 Seems I should have RTFM (or I couldn't see the forest for the trees)! Good logical approach - I tried the HD number and it is only staffed from 9-5; I shall try again tomorrow and post the results.... wts Eyeore (10957)
477592 2006-08-17 21:35:00 Martnz - followed up your suggestion and link. TNZ advise that there are no booby traps in the vpn setups so I am back at square 1 (and this guy sounded as tho he knew what he was talking about). If I find a solution I will post back to this thread. Btw does the "tnz" on Martnz have a deep meaningful significance.... ;) Eyeore (10957)
477593 2006-08-17 23:16:00 Hi Eyeore - ref "tnz" - absolutely not, can expect to hear from my lawyers etc!!

Will admit to being a happy Telecom customer, with some experience setting up other peoples gear to work with their services . Use hotspots OK, and VPN OK via Xtra dsl (and home Wifi), but have never tried both at once!

My VERY limited VPN experience is that success invloves getting multiple technologies to work perfectly alongside each other, which creates a troubleshooting nightmare! In particular, Wifi NIC and Firewall must be onside - may live under different rules than your home setup .

Ideally, start with Laptop in the office, on wifi, in front of the IT guy (or girl) . If it works there, go back to the Hotspot!

Interested to know how you get on - regards, Martnz .
