Messenger...........need help and advice!!! - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi All,
After signed on MSN messenger or even Agilemessenger for a couple hours, it will disconnect automatically.
I am currently using unlimited GPRS plan, GPRS keeps connected as long as i wished, however, the messengers dont.
For some personal reasons, i need my messenger signed on and connected throughout the night. Is it a setting issue or is there any suggestion how can i resolve this problem.
PLs help.

Do you by any chance have a messenger running on another computer at the same time?
Some DHCP servers has short lease times so that they do not run out of IP addresses. It could be possible that the one serving you is giving a different IP after a few hours.

VPN via GPRS woes..

I'm trying to establish a VPN (PPTP) connection to my office via GPRS, without any success. When I click to activate the VPN connection, a GPRS connection is established, then it tries to connect to the VPN address (203.xxx.xxx.xxx), after about 30 secs it comes up with the following message:
"VPN server problems. Verify your username and password, and try again. If the problem continues, turn the device off and try again."
I've turned the device off and tried again, to no avail.
I've also done a search on the forum and notice some users having similar problems but no solution has been posted yet. So this is a bump for all of us who are having this VPN probs.... BUMP!
Hi,
I am facing the same problem. Initially, I thought that my Telco was blocking VPN traffic. I have tried on two different telco network and none worked. Has anyone got VPN working before? If so how? FYI, I am trying to VPN into an MS ISA box running PPTP CHAP2. My VPN is working because user on landline dailup or broadband can get connection without problems.

VPN forgetting its password/settings after activesync :(

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.

VPN driving me mad!

Over the last year I have tried many times to set up my Windows Mobile devices to connect over VPN and then use RDP to manage my clients' sites. To date I have never managed to get it to work. My config is as follows :-
Within Start \ Settings \Connections \ Advanced \ Select Networks
Programs that automatically connect to the Internet use MY ISP
Programs that automatically connect to a private network "My Work Network"
a VPN is configured under "My work network" and the device can connect to this and using vxutil I can ping the server I wish to RDP to - 172.17.3.3
Supposedly the important bit is to add the exception under "Work URL exceptions", I have added 172.17.3.3 in here.
Once the VPN is established if I enter 172.17.3.3 within IE or Terminal Services CLient the VPN connection is still dropped.
If I enter this IP address without connecting the VPN first then the device will not connect the VPN automatically.
If I enter a non qualified domain name such as ids-vs then the VPN is connected but the name is never resolved.
Can anyone shed any light on this, if I could use a local lmhosts file on the device as with XP then I may be able to work around the above. It appears to me though as though the exceptions list is never processed. I did a hard reset last night just in case, but this has made no difference.
I cannot believe that the above can be so complex.
I am using a HTC Tytn and using t-Mobile in the UK.
Any help greatly appreciated since it is driving me totally mad!
I would love to figure that out.
I was trying to connect to my pc at home like this and suffered from all the same symptoms your having. In the end I gave up, mainly 'cause someone told me that I needed another type of data plan to have vpn (at the time I had the $29.99USD plan) in other words it might be your plan, or something to do with the proxies or something, I hope someone would find out what you need to do in order to get this to work.
It's strange, looking around the web there are loads of people that struggle with the setup, but most seem happy once they are told to add the server name or IP address in the exceptions list.
I have ruled out the data plan since I can establish the VPN connection and can see it authenticate on the other end, as well as being able to ping the server on the work network from the phone.
I have just opened a support call with Microsoft as well, but I am not holding out much hope since I think they will point me at HTC. Assuming HTC ever responded they will just point me back at Microsoft!
Well it would be cool if they could help you, I tried everything myself and zilch. I could also establish a connection but as soon as I would try to access a file on my pc it would disconnect. I would try to help you out experimenting on my side again, but I changed my router to a cheap piece of $h.. and now I can't access my pc via vpn..... I really need to get a decent router
This may sound stupid, but I could swear someone told me something about the speed of the connection. If the connection speed is too low then DNS would fail, although that wouldn't explain why we are able to establish a connection, but not access anything else.
OK, I have made quite a bit of progress :-
1) I was using a cab file to configure T Mobile settings on the phone. This was somehow configuring the exceptions list to be ignored. Hard resetting the phone, installing this CAB the problem remained. Hard Resetting the phone and setting up GPRS manually - everything worked.
2) There is a fault with Windows CE 5 routing over VPN - the subnet information is ignored. Hence for example, if your GPRS provider give you a NAT 10.x.x.x ip address and your corporate network uses 10.x.x.x then you can never route to your corporate network.
And what cab file is that? do you know if it's on the extended roms for the t-mo roms? Glad to see your making progress, keep it up.
It was a Cab file for the Tmobile settings. It either came from these forums or over at modaco, can't remember which.
VPN
I was able to successfully use the Movian VPN to connect to my work using my XDA2.Worked fine for 2 years. Apologies, but I can't help with the settings and my work migrated to an M-notes server so I was able to connect without a VPN.

Logmein.com "Mismatched IP Address" (Solved)

Found the problem!
This problem was being caused by the Blackberry Service on my device. In further investigation I discovered that whenever the Media Net connection goes stagnant the Blackberry connection would reestablish & try to check for new emails. The new BIS connection would change my IP to communicate with our Enterprise Server & of course subsequently, Media Net was killed. When I would try & re-establish my logmein connection it would report the new IP which was hung on Blackberry instead of being reset by Media Net & would report as Mismatched for security reasons.
The solution:
Whenever I need to do some work on my desktop remotely I now suspend the Blackberry Service & have now had no problems with logmein, even through reconnects.
Thanks for all the IM's & emails, there were some interesting ideas
_________________________________________________________________
For years I used logmein with verizon's network without problem. But now I'm AT&T & every time my connection resets I get an error stating "Mismatched IP Address" causing me to have to shut down PIE & start over again.
I have read about a broken proxy fix meant for other client laptops & pc's. I have imported my own"broken proxy" reg.value into logmein security registry settings on my Kaiser. However, every time I lose connection, I still have to start over. Anyone else have this error before?
I'vd tried everything I can think of. Any help?
Thx!
i believe it has to do with using wifi instead of edge/3g. I had the same problem when i logged on with edge and then tried to access my computer with wifi after already logging in to the system. I dont know of this will help but i just relogged in and accessed the pc using the same connection type.
negative, it happens using 3G, edge, gprs, etc.
I thought maybe I could enter an IP in connection settings but then I can't connect period.
Hi, I know this is an old thread, but I'm getting the same error message on my HTC Touch HD (Win Mo 6.1) - any ideas as to how the specified solution could be applied to my device?
Thank you.

VPN connection grabs multiple IP addresses

Hi,
I'm having trouble with my MDA Vario III / HTC Kaiser running WM6.0 when making a connection to my office VPN (PPTP). I have to connect to the VPN to access the Exchange server. However, my IT people tell me that the phone is grabbing multiple IP addresses, so many that they have to eventually kill my access to the VPN.
I stopped using Direct Push, but even when the phone is scheduled to connect every 15 mins, the problem still occurs.
Can anyone suggest what's going here, and what the solution might be?
Thanks,
Jon.
Something seems to be wrong with your networking drivers on your phone. Mine doesn't grab multiple IP addresses just one and it keeps getting the same one in accordance to lease time settings on my DHCP Server and Firewall.
Thanks - your reply set me thinking, so I dug into the registry. The key relating to the VPN connection had 'EnableDHCP=0', this despite the fact that the connection is set to 'Use server-assigned IP address'. I've manually set it to 1, and I'll test tomorrow when I can talk to my IT people.
This is a real headache. The problem seems to be that the VPN connection refuses to use DHCP, even when I toggle the registry setting that I mentioned. If anyone has any ideas I'd like to hear them.
