Any idea on what that means(that they're launching LPT)? Does that mean that they'll just have the courseware out or do you think they'll be holding trainings at that conference?

I just saw on the EC-Council homepage (in the banner rotation) that they will be launching the LPT course at this years Techno Security Conference June 3-6 in Myrtle Beach, SC, US. YaY!

bah, restarting works wonders

Figured maybe I made a change somewhere to something at some point that could use a fresh start. Restarted the server and everything seems to be working fine now.

Thanks for the help and suggestions, greatly appreciate it

Hmm...

Yes, I have created the bridge in Windows (on the server), as well as edited the registry key.

The problem seems to be connecting beyond the server at this point. From an outside machine, I am able to connect to the server and ping the server address, but nothing beyond that. On the server side, I am able to ping the outside computer, look at shares, etc.

I'll try adding a 'pull' command for those routes as you have suggested to see if that helps out.

Edit: tried adding the 'pull' statement, but still no luck

Yeah, that's for the client that would be coming in from the outside. I have it connecting to an external IP, 12.191.2.235, through UDP port 1194, and then that's forwarded to 10.1.99.8.

Alright, the quick run-down is that I have two internal networks I'm wanting to allow access to, 10.1.99.0 and 199.1.99.0. The OpenVPN server is running at 10.1.99.8.

Does anyone have any experience with OpenVPN on Windows? I've configured both server and client scripts, everything seems to talk ok, but there's no network connection. When I connect through the client, it says the connection is successful, it recieves an IP and DNS, but it is not receiving a default gateway (not sure if this is the problem or not). I've been looking all around but there doesn't seem to be much out there on this specific issue. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Anyone else taken the CEH course through New Horizons here? If so, how did you go about scheduling/taking your exam? I've taken the course (to much disappointment) and was not given the option to take the test on the last day. I apparently need to schedule and pay for the test separately. I never received an authorization code from class, so how do I schedule this exam? When I called the training center, I was told "I'll look into it" and I've not heard back yet. The person I talked to had no idea as to what I was talking about. Anyone else have similar situations?

On topic: agreed.

Off topic: ChrisG, I'm curious as to how you achieved both CEH and CNDA? Did you take the exam twice?

Where is it referenced? The only thing I can think of is using a birthday/date as a password and someone cracking/guessing that.

I was googling around for something and came across this write-up on InfoSec certifications. I think the writer was pretty fair on his evaluation and such, so I thought I'd pass it along here for those who may not have seen it.

You got it. No problem

The difference between the courses (and today in the training modules for CEHv5, they refer to the NSA course as ENSA) is that NSA is geared towards defensive measures (firewalls, intrusion detection systems, etc) where the CEH is completely offensive.

Yeah, I'm not sure what they're going with on that one. I've seen it both ways, NSA and ENSA.

Yes, I know of the course and I have the courseware.
