so ive got an ongoing issue regarding LAN access on my VPN for ages now i can get no LAN access over my VPN, the VPN is assigned users with a different subnet to the LAN ie. lan is 192.168.1.1 and VPN is 192.168.0.1 this is all fine and all connects, however it assigns me a GATEWAY of 192.168.0.2 and IP of 192.168.0.3/255 i just found the my router doesnt support GRE protocol forwarding, so all i currently have forwarded is 1723 for PPTP could the GRE forwarding be related to no LAN access??? and is there a way around it? Thanks

I’m thinking the alleged $15 per Android device per year patent licensing fee Microsoft is said to be seeking from Samsung is the Softies’ saber-rattling price. Here’s why. Source: All About Microsoft

Hotmail Turns 15
by Guest BSchwarz- 0 replies
- 52 views
By Thurrott, Paul Microsoft’s Hotmail web email service celebrated its 15 anniversary yesterday--few remember, but the service was originally called HoTMaiL because those capitalized letters form HTML, the web’s markup language--but instead of a massive retrospective--which I have to say I’d appreciate--the company is instead looking back over the past year.

Windows 2000: A Look Back
by Guest BSchwarz- 0 replies
- 50 views
By Thurrott, Paul As far as the SuperSite is concerned, this is where it all began, with Windows NT 5.0, or what Microsoft later renamed to Windows 2000. While I had previously maintained a section of the Internet Nexus called "The Future of Windows," the SuperSite got its start during an August 1998 reviewer workshop, where I became inspired by Microsoft’s decision (later delayed to Windows XP) to merge the Windows 9x and NT codebases into a single OS.

Drop Dropbox? Why Would You Even Use Dropbox?

By Thurrott, Paul Ed Bott has an interesting blog post about dropping Dropbox for Windows Live Mesh. But the question that I immediately have is, why the heck would any Windows user even use Dropbox in the first place? For Windows users, Windows Live Mesh has always been the better solution.

Windows 9x: A Look Back

By Thurrott, Paul Windows 9x comprises Windows 95 (and the various "OS-R" updates to Windows 95, which were provided only via PC makers), Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), and of course the unfairly maligned Windows Millennium Edition (Me). All of these releases, except for Windows Me, actually predate the SuperSite, interestingly. But here’s all the content I’ve created here for those Windows versions. Source: Win Super Site
