hi, I currently use Ipeer and remember having trouble setting it up. Any way, the reason I am writing is to let you know that I recently contacted Jim Sibley about an Ipeer matter and he told me to look at WebPA http://webpaproject.lboro.ac.uk/ I am not using it this semester but will probably make the switch in Spring 2010. Cheers!
