Aloha POS over Himachi VPN

[racsheppy]

Hi. My first post.
I was wondering if anyone tried running Aloha POS over a VPN? I am currently using Himachi as my VPN. Only one of three terminals have connected successfully. The second, makes itself the master (does not verify the existence of term 1's master status). And the third tries to become master but fails once all database files have been read.
I have open all ports and firewalls in the perspective terminals.
I have checked all registry information in accordance to the Knowledge Base Articles.
I simply do not know what else to do.

I hope I was informative. I respectfully ask for some assistance in regards to this matter.

Can each of the terminals see each other via a unc path?

\\term1\bootdrv\

Thanks for your quick response. Yes, they can see each other via UNC path.

Is your Lana Number set to the Hamachi Network Adapter? From what I remember, doesn't Hamachi create it's own Network adapter when using it? It's been a while since I used it.

Restguy has it right, you need to change the lananumber on the hamachi nic to 0. This has to be done on the server, and all clients.

I would like to know if you get this working. Thanks.

Guys, . . . . Still on it. I have done that which was requested, to no avail. Issue remains the same as stated in original post.

I respectfully request any additional suggestions that could possibly solve this once and for all.

I wasn't able to get it working either. I don't think Aloha likes the different IP schemes. I gave up early on. However, you might have some luck with using Windows built in PPTP. Also, you might try mapping a drive to \\ALOHABOH (or what ever your server name is). Also, might try adding information to the Environmental Variables on the terminal. Just some guesses.
