SlingBox! the TV extention to the Internet!

I have learned about the Slingbox from the BU IS714 class. After purchasing it last month, I would say the SlingBox is a pretty cool and great product - and I can watch CNBC in the classroom. The Slingbox is a extension device to bridging your media content from cable/Tivo/etc to Internet.

Windows XP x64 Edition, no VPN so far!

Windows XP x64 Edition. I installed on my Compaq laptop smoothly and found almost all drivers with no problem. However, there is no VPN clients I can use to login my school network environment.

I found the alternative VPN from Japanese website: PacketiX VPN 2.0 - Nevertheless, I have no idea how to configure the same as the Cisco VPN clients.

So........ I use the backup system as Windows Server 2003. ^_^
