Sure: how about "Dad's PC (on Smith LAN Network)" ? So, "<DeviceName> (on <LANName>)". > Will the Zebedee server port specification be in VPN service icon for > all LANs? I think we should add this field only for my LAN. Please give > your opinion on the same.I have added the above GUI changes in WinCVS. > Please let me know if there are any changes required. Keep in mind that the "My Services" group will be, by default, a "private" group once we get that feature working. So I won't see my partner's "VPN" service icon by default, so I won't see the port specification field. That being said...if I can access my partner's service group, I should be able to see this field and change it. The *next* time a Zebedee server on my partner's side, it would use the new value. > I have tested the zebedee server command with the target host as 0.0.0.0/0 > but it did not work. I tested it with target list as 192.20.10.0/24 > 192.20.10.5 where 192.20.10 is my network ID and 192.20.10.5 is the IP > address of the zebedee server host. Ah! So, a target list of "0.0.0.0/0 192.20.10.5" should work as well. But whatever: using the *correct* network specification is better than using 0.0.0.0/0. -Scott > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Scott C.
