XDA IIi VPN over WiFi problem

Hope some one can help with this - I am sure I've seen posts on the subject but can't seem to find them
Set up a PPTP VPN connection to use the wifi connection, all advanced setting set to enable this (same settings work on and ipaq with 2003se)
what happens is the xda connects to the vpn server receives an ip address and then drops
the logging on the server shows no errors
I have spoken to O2 who recognised this as a known issue but had no timescale for a fix/workaround
I have tried different radio versions and different OEM's roms to no avail
I suspect either the hardware or the WiFi driver but I'm no expert on pocket pc stuff
Would be grateful for a share of thoughts or even fixes on this subject
as this was the primary reason I bought six of them

Have tried latest o2 rom - issued by o2 today
doesn't fix the wifi/vpn problem and doesn't upgrade the radio either
another half hearted effort by o2 :twisted:

I realise that this is no consolation but I have also had this problem trying to connect the WM3 VPN client. You seemed to have got a bit further by getting an IP addr from your VPN server. Another point to note is that if you try to connect to your VPN server via GSM (instead of WiFi),
the connection session goes a little further (if you check thru the server logs) but again, in my case, it ends up with a "VPN server problem, check your username and password...".
Our VPN server happens to be a PIX firewall, can I ask which VPN server are you using ? :x

VPN
We are using a simple Windows server VPN PPTP for the purposes of testing - it works fine over GPRS just not wifi
I have had an email from O2 confirming that they are aware of the problem - but the last rom update is the last one they are going to issue
and they have no plans to fix the problem
I will be taking this further with O2 and will let you know the result
in this forum - but I don't hold out much hope

Active Sync v4 - arggghhh!

I have read all the posts related to using active sync and firewalls and other issues, but just can't get it to work normally unless I:
I fully stop 2 services on my XP machine:
- Cisco Systems, Inc. VPN Service
- McAfee Framework Service
This does not make me happy at all.
Anyone any ideas?

Regarding Cisco VPN, go to the connection manager part and select your connection. In the transport tab, select 'allow local LAN access'. Otherwise, the system will not allow the connection between the MDA and activesync to complete (routing the traffic towards your VPN network, obviously not what you want).

thanks for the hint, but i am afraid it makes no difference. well at least not on my machine (IBM T42)

As per the other experiences. This is what happens once i have plugged in the cable:
- establishes tcp/ip connection and issues ip address.
- then tries to connect over this connection and sits there endlessly
once I have stopped both the services mentioned above it connects succesfully.
I can't seem to find a way of configuring the cisco vpn or macafee software to allow a succesful connection.

Has anybody notice that now activesync with the imate JASJAR goes very very slow to sync (whem it syncs, not all the times... ) compared with my old iPaq 4350 using the same activesync 4.1?
Thanks in advance.

well I seem to have resolved the issues. It turns out there was an option "Stateful Firewall (always on)" selected in the VPN client. Unticking this box obviously did the job.

VPN using L2TP and certificate?

Did anybody ever try to conect to a MS 2003 VPN-Server via L2TP, authenticated by a certificate? I can't understand why they don't fix that issue? Nobody seemed to have a try except NamCE and me (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28706).
For me it never worked. I tried the two German T-Mobile Roms on Wizard and Universal. It's everytime the same: VPN connection bubble pops up for a second and then issues an error "VPN Server Problems". But the damn device never even tries to send a real Packet to the VPN server!!! Of course i checked GPRS or WiFi connection was set up successfully before.
There is only one Exception: If i deactivate the Dialer Skin it works - but only once after soft reset. And on Himalaya equipped with WM2005 it works too(!)
L2TP VPN would be great for professional use of the device in enterprise enviromnemt....
Any idea?

A2DP ROM-update, L2TP any one had any success?

Hi
I've upgraded my Qtek 9000 yesterday evening, and since that, I have not been able to create any VPN-connection.
Also, when I configured Exchange connection in ActiveSync, I can't connect when I use the servername, however ActiveSync connect if I type the IP-address.
No problems until yesterday
Any one here had success with a L2TP connection and A2DP?
Best regards

L2TP/IPSec VPN? Getting nowhere fast on the Wizard forum so thought I would try here

Help.......
I am not getting any help on the Wizard forum so I thought I would post here in an attempt to find someone who can shed some light on what I am experiencing with my HTC Wizard running WM6 and L2TP/IPSec VPN over Wireless.
First off - L2TP/IPSec VPN works flawlessly with the last WM5 ROM from QTEK. Ever since I installed WM6 on my Wizard I have had a problem with L2TP/IPsec VPN.
My current setup is WM6 5.2.1413 (Build 17913) originally provided by mUn but with the Enterprise files from the 5.2.318 ROM. With the 5.2.1413 ROM 'naked' L2TP/IPSec just would not work no matter what I tried. I rebuilt this ROM with one of the Kitchens but removed the Enterprise files (4 directories) and replaced them with the 4 Enterprise directories from the 5.2.318 ROM originally posted by Faria.
I Flashed the Wizard OK and go through the initial setup. Now I connect to my Wireless network and save the profile, I then add a VPN connection on the Wizard that connects to my VPN router. If I attempt to connect it fails. Now if I disable the Wireless and soft reset the Wizard, then as soon as it has started whilst Battery Status is showing something like 12MB of Program Memory, I connect the Wireless and then attempt to connect the VPN it works. From this point on I can disconnect the VPN, reconnect, disconnect the Wireless, reconnect etc and it works every time
If I disconnect the wireless and soft reset again but this time wait until Battery Status is showing 28MB of Program Memory, then connect the wireless and then attempt to connect the VPN it fails and will never work again unless it is soft-reset and everything is started quickly. I have tested this several times now and the behaviour is consistent.
This smells to me like some initialisation issue at bootup that I am somehow managing to get around by attempting to start the VPN whilst the Wizard isn't fully initialised?
Does anyone know what process at boot up is likely to cause this behaviour? And more importantly how to fix it?
Thanks
Andy
