Very easy to setup. Not a entrprise class vpn solution but works great for a small office.

Review date : 2007-07-12
Since they first came out, I have set up several of these for customers. This one happened to be for my office. Once set up, they are great. The biggest problem is the tech support people. Slow to respond, foreign accent, and bad attitudes. Figure on 4 to 6 hours between hold time and the time necessary to work through any issues with the tech support people. The documentation is useless. I have never been able to get some of the features to work such as remotely running Word or Excel. I might be able to figure it out if I had the time, but I really don’t.

They have also been somewhat unreliable. I suggest that you immediately register the product before installing it. Then when you do have to call tech support to set it up, it will be somewhat easier. When you register you are offered an extended service plan. BUY IT! If your device fails, you get overnight delivery of a replacement. It also provides access to better tech support, and you get tech support for several years instead of 90 days.

This is a good product and works as advertised - with one small flaw. If you’re an Apple Mac user, you’ll only be able to use it if you’re running a PowerPC Mac. Due to a compilation problem in the VPN client Java library by Netgear, the SSL VPN client will not run on an Intel based Mac (even through Rosetta).

If you’re planning to use this with an Intel Mac - wait for a firmware upgrade from Netgear otherwise you’ll just be staring at a useless blue box with a flashing green light!

WiMAX is designed as a wireless alternative to DSL and cable for last mile broadband access and as way to interconnect Wi-Fi hotspots into a Metropolitan Area Network. Although, the actual uses for WiMAX overlaps those for Wireless Local Area Network up until the mobile Wide Area Network level. Telephone and cable companies are closely probing the potential of WiMAX as a last mile connectivity option. This will result to a better-priced service for both home and business customers and not to mention the elimination of the captive customer bases for both telephone and cable networks.

In theory, WiMAX can provide connectivity to users within a 31 mile radius even if there is no direct line if sight. However, actual field tests show that the practical limits seem to be just around 3 to 5 miles. According to WiMAX proponents, the technology can provide shared data rates up to 70 Mbit/s. This is enough to connect 60 T1-type connections simultaneously and over a thousand homes running at 1 Mbit/s DSL level connectivity. Practical maximum data rates in actual field tests show can only go between 500 kbit/s to 2 Mbit/s and is quite dependent on the conditions at a given site.

Despite the numbers given, there are a lot of ways to improve the speed and range of a WiMAX connection using pre-existing technology. One interesting option for companies with analog cellular network is to let WiMAX share a cell tower since it will not interfere with any of the function of the cellular arrays while utilizing the licensed radio frequencies of the analog cellular network to increase its speed and range. A WiMAX antenna can also be directly connected to an Internet backbone using a fiber optic cable. This is one of the means to increase bandwidth for data-intensive applications running across a wireless network or as a back-haul for cellular phone and Internet traffic from a remote area back to a backbone. WiMAX can effectively improve a wireless infrastructure in a decentralized, inexpensive and deployment-friendly manner.

WiMAX is seen as a very good alternative to expensive urban deployments of T1 back-hauls in developing countries with limited wired infrastructure and cruel geography. The cost to install a WiMAX station as a single hub or using an existing cellular tower will be very small compared to a wired solution. WiMAX’s 31-mile diametrical range also works well with the low population density and the wide flat areas common to developing countries. Some areas have skipped wired structures due to inhibitive costs and WiMAX can easily fill the gap in-between with its low-cost wireless solution.

There is no global license assigned for WiMAX although it has a very wide RF spectrum under the IEEE 802.16 specifications. The primary band used in the US for WiMAX is around 2.5 GHz although majority of the band is already assigned to Sprint Nextel. In other parts of the world, the bands used are usually around 2.3/2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5 GHz where the 2.3/2.5 GHz is widely used in Asia.

Product Description

Virtual private networks (VPNs) based on the Internet instead of the traditional leased lines offer organizations of all sizes the promise of a low-cost, secure electronic network. However, using the Internet to carry sensitive information can present serious privacy and security problems. By explaining how VPNs actually work, networking expert Jon Snader shows software engineers and network administrators how to use tunneling, authentication, and encryption to create safe, effective VPNs for any environment. Using an example-driven approach, VPNs Illustrated explores how tunnels and VPNs function by observing their behavior on the wire. By learning to read and interpret various network traces, such as those produced by tcpdump, readers will be able to better understand and troubleshoot VPN and network behavior.Specific topics covered include: *Block and stream symmetric ciphers, such as AES and RC4; and asymmetric ciphers, such as RSA and EIGamal *Message authentication codes, including HMACs *Tunneling technologies based on gtunnel *SSL protocol for building network-to-network VPNs *SSH protocols as drop-in replacements for telnet, ftp, and the BSD r-commands *Lightweight VPNs, including VTun, CIPE, tinc, and OpenVPN *IPsec, including its Authentication Header (AH) protocol, Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP), and IKE (the key management protocol) Packed with details, the text can be used as a handbook describing the functions of the protocols and the message formats that they use. Source code is available for download, and an appendix covers publicly available software that can be used to build tunnels and analyze traffic flow. VPNs Illustrated gives you the knowledge of tunneling and VPN technology you need to understand existing VPN implementations and successfully create your own.

VPNs Illustrated is a great book for those wishing to understand network traffic at the packet level. Author Jon C. Snader was inspired by the earlier TCP/IP Illustrated volumes, and tries to reproduce the Tcpdump-style material found in Stevens’ classics. The level of detail found in VPNs Illustrated easily outweighs any problems this book might suffer, so I recommend you read it for in-depth knowledge of VPN traffic.

The book is divided into three parts. Of these, I found Part I ("Background") to be of questionable value. The introduction (ch 1) should not have been a chapter, and ch 2 ("TCP/IP Overview") should be replaced by a reference to existing volumes on TCP/IP. The crypto overview (ch 3) could also be replaced by a reference to other books, although as a non-crypto guy I found it a helpful refresher. The last chapter in part 1 finally gets to more subject-specific information, covering PPP, IP-in-IP, PPPoE, GRE, PPTP, L2TP, and MPLS tunnels. I really liked reading the author’s criticisms of certain protocols like PPTP and L2TP. He should have included Tcpdump traces of MPLS, since the other protocols featured packet data.

Part II included chapters on VPNs (ch 5), SSL (ch 6), SSH (ch 7), and "lightweight" VPNs (ch like VTun, CIPE, Tinc, and OpenVPN. Some of this material is very deep and probably unnecessary for most readers. The author explains messages exchanged by almost all of these protocols, which is information I’ve not seen elsewhere. Some may consider these descriptions obscure, while others (probably researchers and developers) will appreciate the analysis.

Part III covers IPSec. Ch 9 ("IPSec") should be part of ch 10 ("IPSec Architecture"). The remaining sections thoroughly address IPSec (11: AH; 12: ESP; 13: IKE; 14: the future of IPSec). I think chapters 10-13 are the best IPSec material I’ve read. They made more sense than others I’ve seen, although the complexity of IKE made ch 14 difficult to follow.

Throughout VPNs Illustrated, the author is not shy about sharing criticisms of various protocols. This is extremely valuable. He also repeats sound advice on practices to avoid (like static preshared keys) or measures to consider (defeating replay attacks). Because he illustrates so many protocols, he compares and contrasts them to emphasize key points. He also frequently cites authoritative sources like Schneier and Ferguson.

To achieve a fifth star in a second edition, I would like to see the author incorporate my previous suggestions. I would love to see configuration files for all of his examples in the appendices. He can move existing examples out of the main text to improve readability. Every protocol should have a corresponding network trace analysis, and the traces should be posted on a Web site. I would also like to see a summary of his thoughts on what makes a great VPN protocol, and then his ratings for various implementations.

You won’t necessarily be able to implement the VPN software discussed in VPNs Illustrated by simply reading the text. You will gain a great understanding of how they work, or sometimes, don’t work!

Review date : 2005-12-02
I bought this book aiming to gain indepth understanding of VPN technology, but I was disappointed. The key chapter 4, for example, try to explain tunnel concept left and right, but it mixed the general encapsulation and tunnel, and the verbose wording didn’t make it any clear. Using tcpdump trace to explain some of the field is both a blessing and curse, depending on how you look at it - I think the book is sort of strong in specific details but weak in overall conceptual pictures - however most of those details have been better documented in the RFCs.

Another example - when talking about generic tunnel skeleton using FreeBSD as example (ch 4.8), where some code snippets are presented, I feel some background and detailed illustration of flow/drawing is necessary to clear up the concept and why it correlates prevoius sections, but none given.

It may sound a bit harsh: though the author try to emulate Rich Steven’s style and dedicate the book to him, but it is hard for me to say the end product can really live up to Steven’s standard.

Review date : 2005-11-23
NOTE: This book is not for everyone, if you have not invested at least 40 hours looking at network traffic, I would recommend you pass.

This book is zero fluff, it makes you want to spin up your scratch boxes and follow along. In fact I did just that, I have to switch to a new ISP that requires PPoE and I was always curious how that worked, the book gave me just enough of a clue to interpret what was passing in and out of my house.

The world has a new grandmaster of tcpdump and I have seem some pretty good ones over the years. Once I designed a T-shirt for a SANS conference with the hexadecimal output from a tcpdump; only we flipped it so it was running down the shirt and rendered in green, to resemble the matrix.

The packet was a DNS reply. In the additional records we said good things about SANS; after all, gotta market to eat. There was an error intentionally placed into the shirt and we designated a prize for the first attendee to find the error. A student walked by wearing the shirt and the "4500" in the hex field caught one of the instructor’s eye. She followed him around murmuring, it is sideways, UDP, DNS, a reply, there are additional records, wait a minute that pointer entry is wrong. We watched in amazement, when she was done and looked up, the entire SANS faculty bowed to her. Because a mal-formatted packet can kill a packet analyzer the world needs people like Judy and Jon.

This is not a beginner book and Jon expects you to catch the 4500 stuff pretty fast. However, if you have followed the discipline of tcpdump instead of some packet analysis tool that spells out everything this book can take you to the next level.

VPNs Illustrated is rich in diagrams, including packet headers and state diagrams, examples of network traffic, and cartoons that explain the architecture of the system, or network. It is amazingly well edited, my only nit is on page 93, line 1 spacing off by one character.

The book has a strong linux bias, if you are a Windows person, you will be able to follow along for about 60% of the book using Windump, but you will not be able to use the tools or source.

This is the perfect reference for the person that knows networking and wants to really invest in taking it to the next level.

Finally, the dedication to Rich Stevens was over the top and heartfelt appreciated. I will never forget the man who taught me how to read a packet.

Review date : 2005-11-16
Given the complexity of VPN I was hoping to find a book that could explain key technologies in a concise and an organized manner. "VPNs Illustrated" does contain a wealth of technical information, but it failed on both counts.

The book offers unnecessary detail when trying to explain key concepts. It is so disjointed that the author is reduced to constantly referring the reader to other chapters to find information that is needed to understand a specific topic area. For example, the critical topic of IPSec is first introduced during a discussion of L2TP.

The book contains factual errors such as a typo describing "OC4" when the author meant to say OC48.

Overall, I was very disappointed with this text. It needs to be proofread and completely reorganized.

Trading by computer using specific software is common and easy on the pocket as well. Computers are the best medium for all kinds of trading, but particularly for day trading. The systems works with two monitors connected to the same machine, and day traders can expand their trading screen across both the monitors. Thus, the graphs and the market?s data can be observed through the monitor and facilitate the day trader by cautioning him simultaneously.

Special software is used for day trading and is installed on all trading computers. The day trader analyses the stocks and currencies and places for buying and selling. The trading software is the most important tool for the day trader. The software is popular and widely used all over the world. Usually trading software is part of the deal that a broker offers clients as part of day trading deals.

When the brokerage account is open and is ready for day trading, currency trading is done using currencies trading software that comes in either standalone or Java versions. The requirements for day trading are simple. You need a good computer with a fast Internet connection. Without a fast Internet connection, one cannot receive all the real time information that includes quotes, charts, transaction information, movement of stocks in the market, etc.

A 56 kbps, regular phone line modem is not ideal as an Internet connection. If someone does not have a DSL or cable Internet service, one can simply trade at the broker?s office. The broker has a good set-up with high-speed Internet connectivity and good quality computers to assist with smooth operations. It?s highly unlikely to have a back up in order to support the online trading, but as a word of caution, one can look at back-up systems for emergency purposes.

Networks form a very essential part of the computer world. LAN is a technology used to connect a computer to a network. To make networking life easier and more effective, LAN racks are used. They are very efficient and flexible.

LAN server racks are suitable for keyboard trays, drawers, power strips, and many other items. LAN server racks offer enormous storage space. The 8U cabinet is a nice place for small closets, under-the-desk applications, or countertops. An interlocking corner guard is fixed with every rack and is used to add an additional rack. Usually a LAN server rack is made up of long-lasting aluminum. It can also hold heavy cables because of its side rails.

The LAN server racks are durable, lightweight, stackable, and are completely portable. LAN server racks? prices are also cost-effective. Usually the racks are available in 25, 36, 48, and 72 width, with a height of 72 and 42. To view from seated position, a low-profile 42? unit is suitable. These racks are able to hold a wide range of accessories like caster assemblies, back panels, phone trays, book dividers, storage pedestals, etc. Generally, there are three types of LAN server racks: heavy-duty LAN racks, super-heavy-duty LAN racks, and industrial-strength LAN racks. These LAN server racks can hold up to 1,000 to 1,500 pounds.

If you do not require a mount server rack, then a LAN server rack is an excellent substitution. A heavy LAN server rack is designed for any application of floor plan, width, depth, or height. This way, a LAN server rack surely makes networking life easier and more efficient. These modular and flexible server racks help us to organize our computers and communication equipment to operate more efficiently.

"SSL VPN - Understanding, evaluating and planning secure, web-based remote access" - the only thing wordy about this book is its title. The rest of the book delivers information clearly and concisely through text, diagrams and examples. "Hacker Bob" animates key passages to keep things from getting dry.

As expected, the audience for this book is techies. Basic network concepts are explained, so anyone with a technical background will understand. Any network fundamentals quickly lead to SSL VPN applications.

The authors are good about explaining "why" and providing the pros/cons of a decision. Key criteria are also provided for both technical and business decisions. I found one of the most valuable parts to be about bad architectures. The authors illustrate several common architectures and point out weaknesses. The focus on diagrams and flow was quite useful.

As I said in the first article in this series, when you enter the world of event planning, the one thing you realize very quickly is that flexibility is a necessity. Your event planning software will need to track appointments, events, journaling or diary entries, projects, and to-do lists. In this article I will discuss the benefits of journaling. Before we talk about the event planning software journaling feature, you need to know that journaling or diary writing is very important; however, the importance may not be readily apparent from an event planner?s perspective. Let?s look at just two benefits:

1. Your ideas can flow inhibited onto the page. Let your uninhibited thoughts lead you. Since you don?t have to proofread your writing, your real feelings come out about your day. This is where you will be able to uncover how you are feeling about the people and things of your event planning career. This will also allow you to realistically see where you need to make changes to enrich you life.

2. When you journal you end up writing what you need to know. You will discover valuable insights about yourself that will allow you become more successful as an event planner. You will be able to lean on insights about yourself to guide you into more productive work within your niche. Remember you are unique and knowing more about yourself will undoubtedly show you that you are strongest in a niche within your event planning niche.

The most important features of your event planning software in regards to journaling should be your ability to make flexible entries and your ability to view an entire month of entries in your event planner software at once. Your software should be able to provide you with a text entry area to write your journal entries. This will serve two purposes:

1. This monthly view of your journal will allow you to find certain journal entries quickly at a glance.

2. This monthly view will allow you to see from a monthly perspective how consistent you have been at making journal entries.

Event planning software in the management of journals can be a great help in this process provided you have the minimum features above. There are other great features such as multi-category journals. The 2 features above are essential to productive journal management for your event planning software.

I have a love-hate relationship with my computer.

In fact, often I love to hate my computer!

It will do things I know even the great Mr. Gates didn’t intend, and it usually does them at the least convenient time (like when I’m on a deadline or in a hurry).

Rather than the usual whining and doing nothing about it, I’ve decided to share a couple of things that previously annoyed the heck out of me and the solutions I found to help you avoid these same problems.

*Disappearing Internet Explorer Status Bar*

The status bar at the bottom of the Internet Explorer web browser serves many purposes.

It allows you to hold your mouse over a link to see where the link will take you.

It enables you to see a page’s loading progress as you wait for it to download.

Most importantly, the status bar allows you to see the little gold lock symbol that lets you know you’ve made a connection to a secure server (very important to know before you input credit card data).

For some inexplicable reason, from time to time, this status bar disappears from my browser.

Also, the toolbars at the top tend to move periodically and mess up my system for surfing the Internet.

Now, it’s not the end of the world, but it really ticks me off when things change and I didn’t change them! If this ever happens to you, here’s how to literally lock the toolbars and status bar in place so they don’t disappear or move again.

First, close all your Internet Explorer web browser windows except for one. If the status bar doesn’t already appear in the window, go to View and then click status bar.

Also, make sure you have all the toolbars arranged the way you want them.

Next, place your mouse over a blank spot on one of the tool bars at the top of the Internet Explorer browser window.

Right-mouse-click and a menu will appear where you should check the option Lock the Toolbars.

Then, while holding down the key, click the X in the upper right corner of the window to close it. This will set your selection.

If you ever need to change your toolbars in the future, simply right-mouse-click on the toolbar and uncheck the Lock the Toolbars option, make the changes, and then re- lock the toolbars to keep them from moving or disappearing.

*Missing File Extensions*

One of the biggest pains in the neck involves opening Windows Explorer, viewing a list of files, and not being able to see the file extension (.doc, .txt, .html, etc.) for each file.

For some reason, Windows considers this classified information!

To make the file extensions show up, click Start then Control Panel. Double-click Folder Options then click the View tab. Scroll down the list and uncheck the box that says Hide extensions for known file types.

You will now see the file extensions any time you open up Windows Explorer.
