			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.proxynetworks.com">Remote access software</a> is the holy grail of network applications. Unfortunately, too many built-in applications are difficult to configure, lack reliability and offer only a small number of options and limited security.</p>
<p>The field of <a href="http://www.proxynetworks.com">remote access software</a> has provided clients with a large number of packages, but few offer high-level encryption: 256-bit encryption – the highest in its class. Proxy Network’s Proxy Pro 6 offers peer-to-peer remote access, remote management tools that come in several flavors, from Workstation Edition to the Gateway Edition.</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-73"></span>Workstation Edition</strong> &#8211; Proxy Pro 6 software can reach unattended remote PC’s, can generate hardware inventory remotely, change settings without interfering with remote users and can find all remote in the network.</p>
<p><strong>Gateway Edition </strong>– This edition offers the ability to organize large numbers of machines into groups, strong authentication using SSL, multiple collaborative connections and mass deployment.</p>
<p><strong>Screen Recording Edition</strong> – This version offers screen captures of a large number of remote machines, unannounced recording, web-based playback and very small recorded files.</p>
<p>A free 30-day trial of PROXY Pro 6 remote desktop software can be downloaded once some basic information is entered into a form.</p>
<p>A full comparison sheet is available for RDP and VNC users who want to compare remote access options, remote control and remote management features.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img title="Image 1" src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Image-1.JPG" alt="Image 1" width="173" height="121" align="right" />Mistyped URLS or defunct domains are now being redirected by Bell Canada to an ad-rich search page. This new “service” is in fact DNS hijacking and a cheap cash grab by Canada’s ISP. Similar programs have been enacted by other ISPs in the United-States such as Comcast.</p>
<p>Bell’s service, DomainNotFound.ca, does offer an opt-out service by using a cookie: <em>Note: In order for opt-out to work properly, you need to accept a &#8220;cookie&#8221; indicating that you have opted out of this service. If you use a program that removes cookies, you will have to repeat this opt-out process when the cookie is deleted. The cookie placed on your computer will contain the site name: &#8220;www.domainnotfound.ca&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>This practice is not only surprising, it is an invasive service that has only one purpose: to raise advertising dollars for Bell.ca. Disappointing to say the least.</p>

<p>Do you have a spare AirPort Express ? Did you know you can use it as an <strong>Ethernet to WiFi </strong>bridge?!</p>
<p><span id="more-31"></span>We discovered this feature some time ago and were pleased to learn this trick is <a href="http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040927125820995">documented</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1515?viewlocale=en_US#2">Apple</a> does mention this ability in support docs : Depending on how you have it set up, the Ethernet port can function as a LAN port (defined as either simple bridging or sharing your Internet connection via network address translation) or a WAN port (connecting to your broadband Internet service provider or upstream router).</p>
<p>Amazing !</p>
