to a company VPN. Each time I would connect, my keylogger program would alert me that by connecting to the VPN my Keystrokes and possibly screenshots could be monitored. As another poster said, it is possible that a company could monitor your activity, but they probably do not have time to sort through all of this information. I think the best solution is to have your computer protected and possibly install keylogger protection. It is nice to know when your keystrokes will be monitored, then you have the choice to accept or not accept.

how to connect two computers
I am starting with a new company next week and have received their computer. How do I connect this to my internet (DSL)? My DH suggested that I would need a router which would plug into the modem and then something would go into the new computer, or something like that?? I am not too knowledgable about this type of thing. Know how to use a computer but not sure about all that wireless stuff!! If I need a router does anyone know what kind to get? Or what I need to know to determine what kind to get? If anyone can advise...Thanks!!
DocShuttle does way more than just connect...sm
although you need to purchase all the components. DocShuttle Administrator will let you set up separate accounts for your dictators, and set privileges for which MT's work on which accounts and do they have QA privileges. Also allows you to upload templates to the FTP site for use by all transcribers. So you have to buy Administrator for sure. DocShuttle Client is for anyone who transcribes (including yourself), it lets you download files from the ftp site. When you click on the voice file, it brings up templates that you choose from. DocShuttle Dictator is for the docs. What I like about Dictator is you can set it to work with the Olympus recorder so that when the doc docks the recorder, it automatically imports to the Olympus program, and erases the file from the recorder. Then DocShuttle Dictator can be set up to automatically, say every 4 hours, import from the Olympus program and upload new files to the ftp site and download finished files. I have found that the front desk girls can sink your account by not being able to figure out how to upload or download files. I just did an install with DocShuttle and you should have seen the doc's eyes light up when he docked his recorder and it all went automatically. Also the files stay in the local box and get uploaded to the ftp site so there's always a copy at the doc's office for back up. It also marks the files with a coded number that includes the date, dictator, etc. And at the end of the month, you can run reports that will give you MSWord data such as characters or lines to you can do a line count without opening every single file. Files can be encrypted if you want.
This program is ideal if you have more than one MT working with you. If you are working alone, they just came out with an email program that would work for just an independent contractor working at home for a doc.
Scott and his crew have worked hard on making DS very user friendly, which as I said, is a must because of the front office ladies. Their support is excellent. Just get past the first lady because she usually doesn't know what she is talking about.
one more word - MAKE SURE you purchase the Dongle. You get unlimited installs with the dongle - otherwise three installs and they want you to buy another license. email me with any more questions - I've been using DS for a few years now and am very happy with it
Internet connect is bad
I have cable and upgraded to higher speed for download and upload, and it seems for every hour it works, the next is cutting in and out - worse is when I stop working the TV doesn't want to - too bad it could not connect to air -
Connect to a system via satellite
Rather than satellite, which can have "weather related" problems and so on, have you thought about a wireless connection? I am out in the country and use a wireless internet card which I got through Spring with a laptop computer. There are also companies that can put a wireless tower on your roof if need be, however, that was not an option for me so I went with the laptop and wireless internet card. I would also check to make sure that the software supports satellite or wireless. Many techs will tell you that it either does or does not.
Hope this helps.
Some companies don't really care how you connect, it all
depends on their system. If you are thinking of working from home and can't DSL you most likely can't get WiFi either. If you have a wireless network setup already you can use WiFi that way, but most companies will not allow for using WiFi like at Panera Bread.
How to connect laptop to desktop sm
My desktop will not connect to the internet, no internet explorer working yet my laptop connects so if I can connect to my desktop somehow could I start up the internet that way and download internet explorer to my desktop so I will not get an error message? Confusing, I know, but I did a disk compression and I think that's how it got messed up. A system restore will now be allowed on any old dates tried. It's very frustrating.
Just connect your external keyboard and you won't know the difference.
You may want to attach an external monitor (I don't) or use a box of some kind to elevate the computer. They have boxes at the office supply store in the computer area that have trays for storage or a place to put your keyboard and that is about the right height. I would also suggest an external mouse. If you need a new keyboard/mouse I'd go wireless. If you want to be somewhat mobile, like sitting in the backyard in the shade unhooking and hooking everything up gets to be a pain and if you just want to diddle and not work you can use the laptop keyboard and not have to take the other keyboard and mouse.
If you are used to a large monitor that is probably your biggest adjustment, the rest is fairly easy and may take some trial and error to get everything worked out.
NO, you're off. 0.03 x 60 = 1.80 that's without a direct onesuite connect sm
I used them for years. I didn't pay any attention to their rate, above -- but it doesn't matter how fast you type. You could sit there and NOT type, and you're still paying $1.80 for every hour you're hooked up.
And by the way, there are several dictators I'm 1:1 on. Not many though!
Unless there is a network to connect to, you're out of luck.
Basically, you need to have an available network (also called hot spot) that will allow you to connect to the Internet. The card is only hardware, not the actual network.
I was told that it would connect directly - no ID needed. nm
When I connect to my computer via camera or memory
stick I have a menu come up that asks what I want to do, view, copy to a file, etc. Once they are in a folder you can send pictures as an attachment or copy the picture to the e-mail. If you send as attachment when you request attachment it will ask you to search for whatever it is you want to attach, if you want to include a picture in the e-mail right click on the picture and one of the options that comes up is to e-mail picture. Just follow the directions.
I connect a larger screen - having two desktops is nice. sm
Just got my laptop cooler with its built-in USB hub, so I am adding other things.
Of course, the greatest thing you can do is take your job on impromptu vacations and not have to worry about approval from the boss.
tech help, new wireless router, now can't connect to clients
I am using a wired PC with a DSL connection. Last night I set up a new wireless router and a laptop. I had to have Linksys help me so I know we did it how they told me. Both computers can connect to the internet, but now on my wired PC I cannot connect to my clients. I have one I connect to with VPN and another over the internet through Citrix. That one I can connect to initially, but it keeps disconnecting itself. Help anyone?
Yes. It's called a phone. Connect, dial, and record. NM

Is there a setting on the computer that causes your internet connect to time out - I cannot stay
nm
You need an air card to connect to the Internet. Once you're connected, you can do what you norma
do. I have Sprint PCS and like their service. There are different plans you can choose from. Some give you the air card if you sign up for their better plans. Hope this helps.
If the home you're visiting has a wireless network, you can connect to that.
When you're there, let the computer search for the network and when it is recognized, connect to it. You will need to enter a passcode if it is a secured network (which it should be). You can save that confirguration to your laptop for future visits. It's really the same process as with a wireless router at home.
Now, if neither router is wireless, you can get a cable from places like Staples that will connect directly into your laptop and the back of the router. You will still need to set up the laptop as described above but, again, that configuration can be saved.
I live in a small town and we don't have Starbucks, Panera, etc., close by but the public library has a wireless network that I can connect to for free; you might want to check into that option as well.
The biggest thing you should be concerned with is that you are operating on a secure network and that information going across the network is at the very least encrypted according to HIPAA standards.
