As someone else mentioned, the VPN scripts from IUWare should work for
most Linux distributions. Also, the wireless setup at IUB and IUPUI
recently changed and VPN is only needed for specific situations that
don't apply to most faculty/staff/students.

Re: [BLUG] IU VPN connection on Linux

Dirk,

I can connect to the IU VPN from my laptop (running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04). AFAIR, there were issues with Ubuntu Hardy initially, but I had got it going with a few workarounds. That said, the new IU VPN Linux installer on IUWARE should work out-of-the-box.

(I use the Linux VPN PPTP script for IU)

Cheers,

Hi,

Has anyone gotten the IU or IUPUI VPN connection to work on Linux?  I am running Xubuntu on an older laptop and my wife is taking it to IUPUI next week for some classes.  She needs to connect to the IUPUI VPN over wireless while there.  My wireless works fine and we can connect to the IUPUI VPN on my XP box using the downloaded VPN connector from IUWare Online and her credentials.  I've been using the information from http://www.ussg.iu.edu/support/documentation#iuvpn but can't seem to get a connection. 

 

If this works, she'll willingly switch the whole house over to Linux (though we may keep a dual-booted XP machine around just in case).  I'd appreciate any help on this matter so I can ditch XP as a daily OS in the house and get her onboard with Linux.

[BLUG] IU VPN connection on Linux

Hi,

Has anyone gotten the IU or IUPUI VPN connection to work on Linux?  I am running Xubuntu on an older laptop and my wife is taking it to IUPUI next week for some classes.  She needs to connect to the IUPUI VPN over wireless while there.  My wireless works fine and we can connect to the IUPUI VPN on my XP box using the downloaded VPN connector from IUWare Online and her credentials.  I’ve been using the information from http://www.ussg.iu.edu/support/documentation#iuvpn but can’t seem to get a connection. 

 

If this works, she’ll willingly switch the whole house over to Linux (though we may keep a dual-booted XP machine around just in case).  I’d appreciate any help on this matter so I can ditch XP as a daily OS in the house and get her onboard with Linux.

[BLUG] Tron 2

I know that some of you guys are Tron fans...

Did you hear that they are working on a Tron 2, called Tr2n? John
Lasseter, the brains behind Pixar is working on it. You can watch a
bootleg trailer of the movie here:

if you are going for the the freerunner you shouldn't have a problem. a
unlocked gsm phone should be used on any gsm carrier with out a problem.

Re: [BLUG] More OpenMoko

Also, if AT&T hasn't been impressing you, you might want to steer clear
of the iPhone. It is the only carrier available to those who buy an
iPhone. This may have changed with the newest iPhone, but I'm not sure.

Re: [BLUG] More OpenMoko

I'm firmly on the list of those interested in the OpenMoko, but I have
one nagging question...which is why I'm now posting here :-)

Is there any carrier in the central Indiana area that will let the
phone be put on their network without hassle?

I've been a Verizon customer for almost 12 years now, so I have no
knowledge what so ever of the GSM side of the coin. I'm coming up on
my next "new every 2" in September. While I'm very happy with
Verizon, the OpenMoko could make me jump ship if any of the local
carriers will let it be used...assuming that I can find one to buy, of
course, since the OpenMoko store seems to be perpetually "out of
stock".
