Oleg:
Hello! Quick comments:
1. Yes, I've noticed too that Kaboodle needs to be restarted
after the registration and partnership info is activated.
Not sure why.
2. The GetEngaged VPN really doesn't work well when both
machines are on the same LAN. Kaboodle already auto
discovers same-LAN devices, and I'm not sure it can be
easily tricked into VPN'ing them. You really need to
use two distinct ISP's to see it work.
