How do I set up my very first VPN using a BT Home ...

Greetings!
I would like to set up a VPN via my BT Home Hub.
I've already set up a Windows 7 VPN server on my PC, and I can connect my Android devices successfully using my domestic wireless connection through the hub.
Now I want to be able to connect to my VPN using any internet connection, anywhere.
I'd like to find out what settings I need to set on my hub, and what settings I need to set on the Android device. I'm assuming – perhaps overoptimistically – that I won't need to do anything more with my Windows 7 VPN server.
What I need to do on the hub is a complete mystery to me. Presumably I need to tell it to send VPN traffic straight to my PC, but I've no idea how to do this.
As I've managed to connect my Android devices to the Windows VPN server this aspect of the process seems less mysterious to me. Presumably I need to tell them (the Android devices) the IP address of my hub (which, while it isn't technically static, is more than static enough for my needs). And presumably, if my hub has been persuaded to route VPN traffic to my PC, I can use the Windows account name and password to make the connection.
If anyone can point me in the direction I need to go, or point me at where my questions have already been answered, I would be most grateful. I see a lot of VPN threads here, but they all seem to be about difficulties encountered on existing setups. I need to know how to create an existing setup first: then I'll know if I have issues that require further attention.
Cheers!

"You will need to set port forwarding on your home hub so that the incoming VPN connection is forwarded to the IP address of your PC. Your VPN range you have set on Windows 7, must not be on the same subnet as the home hub.
If its using a standard VPN port, then there may already be a pre-defined application within the home hub that you can use, depending on which version of the home hub you are using. If not, then you will have to define one yourself.
I think its port 1723 for Windows VPN."
Thanks, Keith.
Unfortunately my ignorance exceeds your expectations, so I have to ask more questions…
How do I specify the incoming VPN connection in my home hub?
What is the VPN range I must set on Windows 7, and how do I ensure it's not on the same subnet as my home hub? Is this something to do with the incoming IP addresses assignment settings for the TCP/IPv4 network component of the Windows 7 Incoming Connections' properties?
How can I tell if "it" is using a standard VPN port? And does "it" refer to my home hub, my Windows Incoming Connection, or my Android device?
When it comes to defining an application myself, how do I determine what port range needs to be translated, how do I determine what (port range?) it needs to be translated to, and how do I determine what the trigger port needs to be?
Thanks.

How can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express

how can I set up a wi-fi network, using one time capsule and two airport express ?
The time capsule is near the Mac. ok
The first Airport is on the corridor, ok, works well and the App on the iPad signals so, ok
But when I plug the next Airport on another room nearby nothing happens, and signals disconected ....
is the signal so weak that is not able to go to ono room to the other ?

Well, even if you have the first express set up to extend the network, the second express can only extend from the TimeCapsule.
Maybe you got walls of sheetrook in the way, or kitchen/bathroom tiles, etc, dampening the signal rapidly.

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities? Seems like there isn't an option to set this up. Normally you could add/set up this in the airport setup assistant- but that doesn't exsist any longer.
Thanks for any suggestions

How can I set up an older airport express using the newest airport utilities?
Unfortunately you can't, since Apple dropped support of the older AirPorts with AirPort Utility 6.x.
Using some workarounds....not supported by Apple.....you might be able to download and install an older version of AirPort Utility that would allow you to administer the older AirPort.

I just bought a new MacBook Air. In my old one, I could go from screen to screen by using three fingers to swipe over the key pad. This one just sits there. It is Yosemite. How do I set up preferences so I can use three fingers to move from screen to screen?

Those choices are controlled via System Preferences, Trackpad.

How can I set BOE XI R2 InfoView to use MM/DD/YYYY date format?

How can I set BOE XI R2 InfoView to use MM/DD/YYYY date format instead of the default yyyy-mm-dd that comes up?
Thank you.
Paul

I'm sorry to be dense. Are you using BOE XI R2? I don't see a "preferred viewing local" under preferences. I see "My Interface Locale is..." under the General tab, which I have set to United States. I don't see anywhere where I can enter in the dates and numbers.
I also checked in the CMC under Business Object Enterprise applications, and did not see anything there either.
Can you be specific?
Thanks again.

How do I set the audience when I'm using Siri on my iPhone 5 to post to Facebook

How do I set the audience privacy for when I’m using Siri on my iPhone 5 to post to Facebook?
When I ask Siri to post a message to my Facebook Siri tells me what I have said and then asks tot post it, I then checked on my computer and the post is visible to "ME ONLY" I can change this on the computer and on my phone via the App but I do not want to be doing that all the time.
If I post to Facebook via Siri on my iPhone 5 I want it at the default setting of friends only.
So How do I change this?
I posted the first one 2 minutes ago then went into Facebook via the App and changed it but did a second one hoping that the default privacy had changed but it was again to me only. As you can see via the padlock. Please help. Thanks

What if you do need help or emergency situation while Posting FB via Siri is the fastest way to show you or someone is in danger, and he/she is dying because the post is Only visible to Me !?!?!?!???
Anyone who uses FaceBook to get immediate help for life threatening emergency is mercifully removing themselves from the gene pool.

My wife and I both have iPhone 5, I have iPad 1st gen and have set up iTunes w my iPad. I attached my wife's iPhoneto my PC (sorry) and tried to backup her phone to iCloud but it sync'd to my icloud. How do I set up her phone w iTunes using one PC?

My wife and I have iPhone 5. She has iPad ver 3, I have iPad ver 1. I set up iTunes on my PC w my iPad and iPhone and ICloud backup. I tried to backup my wife's iphone to the iCloud by hooking up to my PC. I checked the new iPhone box but it sync'd the phone to my accoount. How do I set up her iCloud account to backup her phone then sync w her iPad?

iTunes on your computer has nothing to do with an iCloud backup. If you wife's phone is backing up to your iCloud account it's because you are sharing the same account. Migrating her phone to a separate iCloud account will fix this.
If you want to mirate her iPad to a separate account, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your iPad to her camera roll by opening the my photo stream album, tap Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account her iPad, not from iCloud. your devices will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPad. Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload the data to her account. Note: you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes, it does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.

How do I set up my new tc to work with my home hub 2?

Hi. This is my first time in this community, so hope I'm doing this right! I have a bt home hub2 and have just purchased a 2tb time capsule to go with my brand new iMac. Please help me to set up the tc to work with the bt home hub. I want to use the tc wireless capability and think I will have to set up a new network and switch off bt wireless, but I'm not sure. Bit of a novice at this kind of thing so any help you can give in nice simple steps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

In UK BT generally use PPPoA authentication only so you will have to keep using the home hub as the main router. Put the Time Capsule.. TC.. in bridge mode. To do this go to the airport utility, on menu selection go to internet, and make sure it is set to ethernet for method of connection, and in connection sharing, select bridge. Then select update.. it will probably list some issues like password needing changing and access via wan etc .. almost all of which you can simply ignore.. as you are not using it in router mode.
The TC will save the setting and restart.. it will now exist as a wireless access point and switch on the network. The WAN is swapped to LAN, so there is no WAN port as such but it is still convenient to use WAN port marked <...> ethernet between home hub and the TC. Then setup wireless as you like. You can turn off the wireless in home hub, and just use the TC.. or use both, on different channels. That is no big problem. Set the security for the wireless is important and I would also manually set wireless channels and use different name for the 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless. But just start and learn what you need to as you go along. Getting the basics working should be fairly easy. Some of the more complex stuff you just need to read carefully the instructions..
And read this site.
Carefully and until your eyes bleed. Almost everything you want to know is there already.

How to add new group entry in Cisco Vpn using powershell

I am working on a powershell script to connect cisco vpn using powershell, I am able to connect to vpn but not sure how to add new group to vpn. I am using the following script$vpn_profile = 'Test'
$username = 'TestUser'
$userPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "Password" -AsPlainText -Force
$credentials = new-object -typename System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist
$username,$userPassword
$password = $credentials.GetNetworkCredential().Password
Set-Location 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\VPN Client'
.\vpnclient.exe connect $vpn_profile user $username pwd $password
Write-Host "You Are Connected"
cd "C:\"

Have you entered .\vpnclient.exe /? to see if it will return information about other switches you can use with this executable? Other than connect, I was able to track down a few without actually having the executable (http://www.scribd.com/doc/40108893/Cisco-VPN-Client-Command-Line).
That said, I do not believe that there is a switch that will help you create a connection. These are either done manually through the GUI, or can be likely be added by supplying a properly formatted file in the proper place.
If you're using the version of the Cisco VPN client I think you are, then your connection settings, or profiles, are stored in individual .pcf files somewhere on your computer (likely in the Cisco directory). These are simple, text-based files. Find one
on your computer, save it with another name, and then modify it manually. If you really want to use PowerShell, then use this opportunity to learn how to create and edit basic text files using PowerShell. If you have a standard connection file, then you can
put that file onto remote computers any number of ways. If a .pcf file exists in the proper place when the VPN client is opened, then it likely will not prompt for a new connection.
Update: Added more info; clarified

How set up Capsule for first backup using ethernet

Friends,
I thought I had this solved, but my problem is the following:
1. For speed use ethernet in initial backup (2-3 times faster than by using airport)
2. Connect ethernet cable from LAN port at Capsule (TC) to laptop
3. Enable ethernet and disable airport.
well well
I apparently go wrong by using Airport Utility (AU) for this. Everything goes fine. I see the TC as a shared device in the finder, but as soon as I close down the Airport connection for doing the ethernet backup the whole TC disappears. If I don't close down the Airport I see the backup starting and I se the TC in the finder but I suspect the backup does not use the ethernet cable.
Where do I go wrong??
regards,
pyry

Welcome to the discussions!
You don't need to use AirPort Utility. Do not turn off your wireless from there.
Simply +turn off the wireless on your computer+ by clicking on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your screen.
Connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN ports on the Time Capsule
Start the backup
When the backup is complete, you can turn the wireless back on at your computer and disconnect the ethernet cable from your computer and the Time Capsule.
