Does it happen to you that annoying message were you can’t connect again to a server you were connected to in the first place.

Why is Windows so stubborn as not to recognize that you are the person logged in the session that just disconnected and want to reconnect via terminal server.

Try this, it works like a charm
mstsc /v: /admin

It works the same in Windows Server 2003 and 2008

Best way to create a VPN – Use Hamachi

Posted in IT on March 11th, 2009 by Xavier – 2 Comments

I was this close to paying Amnet (one of Costa Rica’s useless ISP) for a public IP to be able to use my nice server which is set up (or in the process of) with a lot of tools that I use for my next enterprise, setting up my own company. We already achieved our first little baby steps milestone. Will it be custom dev? SEO? marketing? a tool? a product? a service? I will tell soon :)

Well, let’s go back to the story, I had to have access from anywhere to my files while I am developing (and also my Music – 70 GB don’t fit in an iphone).

So, what is the solution? Use Hamachi. Hamachi is a vpn emulator that’s free for non commercial use and as little as $4 for commercial use.

LogMeIn Hamachi: Instant, Zero Configuration VPN

Try it, it works wonderfully. I am listening to my itunes library from across town and logged into my Microsoft Windows 2008 server via terminal server.
