I forgot to say - I made a user/pass on both boxes and they are the exact s=
ame. I have not tried without, so I am not sure if this is required.


I have not been able to take the laptop home and have it play nice. But the=
 whole VPN thing makes it quite a different network config to navigate.

Subject: Re: [Workrave-user] How to setup network preferences


I will put my working config here - as I would love to have found such info=
 in my previous search.


I setup both linux & window the same as far as breaks, timers and total tim=
e goes.


I allowed incoming connections on both and

on garfield (linux) added, under network on the hosts tab - the win7 box

on win7                             under network                          =
  - garfield


There is probably something about starting order, but I have not figured it=
 out. At the moment I just shutdown both and startup one by one till it wor=
ks.

I now know "working" is - the little applet updates pretty much in unison b=
etween the two boxes, and when a break appears on one box, it also appears =
on the other.  I can actually see both screens at the same time.


So while at work - on the same network, with boxes next to each other - it =
works nicely.


I am sending a separate email - for my new issue ... trying to get three bo=
xes to work together.

Subject: How to setup network preferences


My most-used desktop is running

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.1 (Santiago)

workrave-1.9.4-2.el6.nux.x86_64  on Linux garfield 2.6.32-131.12.1.el6.x86_=
64

This box - garfield - is always on and is mine to config as I like. (No fir=
ewalls)


I would like to also track my time on a windows laptop. The laptop is turne=
d on and off as I take to and from home/work. It's windows 7 enterprise 64 =
bit and running workrave 1.10


I read through the mail list and saw something about having to set up the n=
etwork each time you boot. I am prepared to do this if I just knew what seq=
uence works.


Do I need to make a user & pass ? Does it work without?

Do I need to allow incoming connection on both boxes? The windows is the "w=
ork" controlled machine and I don't do windows, so that one would be easier=
 if I did not need incoming connections.

When the laptop is home, it can see garfield via VPN, but I doubt garfield =
can see it - is this a show stopper?


What is the expected behaviour? If I work on garfield for an hour and then =
turn on windows - will the windows show I have worked an hour?


If my total allowed time is 4hours per day - do I set 4hours on both the li=
nux and the windows? Will that allow me 4 hours total vs 4hours on each box=
?


I have been using workrave for a long time and it has been very useful. But=
 I really need to be able to track all my time.


I have contemplated reading the code, but I really hope somebody here can g=
ive me some idea of how the pieces interact, so I can config it usefully :)


Thanks much


Bakkies
