Topic: VPN network : Help

[John Morrison]

Just need a nudge in the right direction.

I need to set up a permanent VPN connection from home (Running E-smith 5.5) to work where they have a CUBE 3.  Between Cubes it's Easy (All on menus) but E-smith doesn't seem to have an option to set up VPN connections.

I've done a far bit of searching and all I can find is that I have to buy Service link....
What am I missing.....can't even find a how-to for it.....

HELP is greatly appreciated
Thank You

search under devinfo lists and advanced lists as the issue has been mentioned before, Think it was a shell command required.

It worked in 5.1.2 but is not quite there in 5.5

Good luck in your search.

Well I'm still hinting for it.

Can't find any mention of it on any of the forums.

Anyone help this is wasting a lot of time for a job that should have been so simple.

THANKS
