ok here is the setup:
domain and exchange setup on a lan with firewalls and vpn gateway.
I have configured the phone to local sync and remote gprs sync.
I have put in exceptions lists to my intranet for my company.com adresses.
it works fine to local sync and after a restart or 2 i can get the vpn connections going.
but after every local sync with AS 4.1 i get a question to re enter my userid and pw for the vpn connection when i´try to remote sync again. its like it foregets it or looses it somehow.
if I enter them again it works..
I have resetted and reinstalled everying 5-6 times always the same story
has anyone had the same problems??
i feel alone here...
Does anyone use vpn on thir WM5.0 devices??
I cant get it to remember the passwords...I am thinking it might be something ralated to AS4.1 but i am not sure...
your not alone lynxlynx, don't be disheartend.
although i can't help i'm sure someone will. just be patient, your not being ignored.
Need some advice on using VPN via GPRS.
Have an O2 mini s which connects to GPRS with no problem and lets me surf the internet. When I try to connect to my work VPN I get no indication at all, no attempt to connect, no error message.
Have setup the VPN connection with my works IP address that works fine from my desktop PC. The vpn type is PPTP everything else is default.
Any clues or pointers would be gratefully received
Hi all,
I'm having problems getting ActiveSync (on the phone) to be able to use the WLAN connection to connect to the internet and sync with my exchange server. It takes forever otherwise, even when I use the 3G connection. I understand that it's not possible to sync with a desktop over WLAN but I was hoping there'd be a way to get ActiveSync to treat the WLAN connection like the cellular data connection and just get on the internet.
Thanks for any help!
I have exchange in my office. If you want to use the WLAN (wifi), the exchange server address is usually difference than if you were using 3G (internet). Unfortunately, the 8525 only let use key in one server address, so when you are in the office...you have to turn off wifi....unles you want to retype your the address.
I key in the server address that i use to access outlook web...so if i'm not in the office, i can still get email. It is easier to turn off wifi when i am in the office.
Hi,
I am trying unsuccessfully to connect to a PPTP VPN using the VPN client built into my new HTC TyTN II.
Wifi - I can connect using a WinXP SP2 laptop using wifi through my home linksys wireless router (which has PPTP passthrough enabled) using the standard Win XP vpn client. When I try with my TyTN II, I can browse ok but if I set up a VPN connection I get "VPN server problems. Verify your username and password, etc"
GPRS - If I try to connect over GPRS, I connect to Orange GPRS but when it tries to connect to the IP address of my VPN server, I get the same VPN server problem error message. (As a side issue, I asked Orange to enable my account for vpn which they did, sent a SIM update and told me to change my apn to 'internetvpn' instead of 'orangeinternet')
As I can connect through my wifi connected laptop, it seems to point to my WM6 vpn client but my forum searches suggest that the WM6 client works ok. Oh, and yes, I have checked that I am using the correct vpn username and password!
Any thoughts greatly appreciated - the ability to maintain some linux servers was my main reason for getting this phone!

Bump!!! Same problem here. I have all the proper ports open on my router and still no luck.
I've been trying to resolve this with the people that manage my vpn server which is my case is a Watchguard firewall - apparantly Watchguard isn't compatable with PPTP on WM6 and they have suggested using IPSec and have provided me with a client (not that I've got that working yet either!)
I suggest you contact the vendor of your vpn server and ask them whether they are compatable and how a WM6 client should be configured. Post anything you find out here for the benefit of others.
WM6 don't connect to VPN over GPRS/ WiFi
Friends...
I have the same problem... the VPN server is Windows Server 2003... My PDA has WM6 (with in-build VPN client)... then VPN PPTP would work OK... but What is the wrong??
Regards...
I also could not connect on vpn over GPRS and got error message, but after I tested all installed programs I have found out that my SPB GPRS Monitor was the reason for the errors. So I killed it.
Now VPN over GPRS connects and looking into register I see that I am really connected i.e. I got DNS server IP, I got name of the local network and dynamic IP for my HTC, but nothing works. As I have found out from server guys they see me but my dynamic IP is not logged in server DNS, so no program sees me and I can not work.
Can somebody help?
Same
I have a similar problem but the difference is that i don't even receive an error message. When i click connect NOTHING happens!! The wifi i am using is an open network but I must connect to vpn to connect to the internet.
Please help as i really need to get this working...
I have been trying to iron this out with IT at my office as well. I have been trying to get WM6.1 VPN working for nearly a year.
I have a TyTnII and my IT office just bought some kind of WM6.1 Motorola/Sprint Smartphone as well which they actually asked me about setting up for them.
The problem what I am experiencing is that I CAN connect to the VPN server (I use one of the TaskMan progs that has ipconfig built it, and I am getting an appropriate IP from the VPN server). BUT I can't browse ANY intranet sites via PIE or Opera Mobile 9.5. Whenever I try to browse to an intranet site I just get nothing, browser does nothing for ~10min then gives timeout error.
I have heard that this has to do with an inbuilt error in the PPTP module of the VPN client that incorrectly makes VPN server requests using the IP address assigned by the GPRS/EDGE/3G/etc. connection rather than the IP address assigned by the VPN connection, obviously will cause problems!
Anyway, we are investigating 3rd part VPN clients...
Only IPSEC works
I also made many tries to get vpn working over BT PAN profile.
The only configuration which worked for my was IPSEC with the Safenet SoftRemote-LT Client on PC.
With the windows native pptp based vpn does not work .
I got the error code 721 what means that the GRE protocol (frame type 47 on port 1721) does not pass through. This seems to be the the real problem of the packet filtering components of the WM device. The problem is not related to bluetooth or PAN Driver, because it behaves in the same way if you try to do it over USB port. No way.
You guys might want to check out my post about getting my PPTP VPN working and actually syncing ActiveSync on a fixed schedule regularly over VPN.

Getting what you want to work over VPN requires work URL Exceptions so that the traffice is properly routed.

Watchguard does support PPTP, your IT guys just need to configure it. As for IPSec which would be awesome because there is an app call Greenbow that will connect you over 3G doesn't work with Watchguard. You can only connect using their own client for it which needs a license and isn't support on Windows Mobile. They got a hate email from me for that crap.
i have a WM6 device which i use to connect to my work network via GPRS and VPN. When i try and connect to our mail server it states that it was not possible to connect.
If I connect via WiFi and then VPN i can connect to our mail server and download email.
Using Windows XP incoming connections (VPN) and Mailtraq for the email server
Any Ideas..
TIA
pop3 is available over gprs unless your cell-phone company block those ports
vpn is available over gprs unless your cell-phone company block those ports
if you connect to vpn you get access to anything the virtual private network have
access to
as anything tunnel over vpn and your cell-phone company's setup just see vpn data
on the vpn port and as such data is not blocked even if your cell-phone company block
the ports the vpn network accessed and transfered over the port their vpn connection use
