== Windows VPN Client ==

We provide a customized, simple to use, client for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. (Windows 2000 workaround: see bottom of page)

* The latest version of HDA Connect 3 can be downloaded from: [http://dl.amahi.org/HDAConnect3.exe HDAConnect3 installer].
* Note: If you have installed a previous version, you will want to exit the service from the tray icon (right click).
* On windows XP simply run it. On Vista, run it as Administrator (this is important). In Windows 7, it should ask for administrator automatically. The defaults should work for everyone. [[Image:Runasadmin.png]]
* Click on "Continue Anyway" warning for the driver, if any.
* After installation is done. It will display a small icon in the desktop tray. It may also display a network icon with a red mark indicating "A network cable is disconnected." This is the VPN "network adapter" indicating the VPN is down. [[Image:Amahi-icon.png]]
* Any time you want to connect, simply double click in the icon. A Menu like this will come up [[Image:Authfirst.png]]
* In it, input
** The nickname of the HDA you want to connect to (as in <code><nickname>.yourhda.com</code>). Note that it's only the nickname, not all of XXXX.yourhda.com. You can find it in the [http://www.amahi.org/user Amahi HDA control panel].
** The username you want to login as in that HDA, and
** The password of that user in that HDA
* Your computer will now connect to your hda. [[Image:Connecting.png]]

* After that, your icon in the Windows task bar will look like this: [[Image:Amahi-Connected-icon.png]]

Remember, the next time you log in it will save your username and username.yourhda.com username, and all you have to do is enter your password.

* Windows 2000: HDAConnect3 looks for 'route.exe' in the 'C:\windows\system32' folder. This folder doesn't exist on Windows 2000, where the systemfolder is called 'WINNT'. As a result, the install works, but the connection will not work. As a workaround, create the folder 'C:\windows\system32' and copy 'route.exe' from the 'C:\WINNT\system32' folder into it. after this HDAconnect3 should work on Windows 2000. DISCLAIMER: This hasn't been tested thoroughly, it might or might not work for your particular setup.

== Old Versions ==

* Version 2 of HDA Connect: [http://dl.amahi.org/HDAConnect2.exe HDAConnect2 installer].
