Well I have four laptops, two running 7 Ultimate and 2 with Home Premium. Of the four three will connect with out any issues, one will not, one of the Premium machines. It connected once but I was "experimenting" with some of the settings and now it will not connect. I have reset all the settings to be identical to the other three but still no go. I have deleted and recreated the connection, no go. Should I post this to the forums? If so which one? Any thoughts or ideas? Came across this article decided to give it a go.

Is the wireless client setup for XP similar? I have two XP PCs and one TiVo box that have a wireless connect to my home network. I am trying to avoid any surprises before attempting this.

The WHS client automatically detects the hamachi address and allows for secure backups and secure Internet surfing via the hamachi IP address. I haven't tried using the Server 2003 built-in VPN.
