I am able to get a connection using Wifi with vpn and then terminal server connection to my work computer.
I am not able to do this over UMTS or GPRS, I cannot get a VPN connection.
Funny enough it seems that my UMTS connection is actually faster then when using WIFI
Your problem is interesting because I have exactly the opposite problem. I have VPN workng over UMTS, but when if I have wi-fi on & phone off, the VPN wants me to turn-on the phone to connect over UMTS!
Sorry I have no idea why this is happening.
I would like to know how both of you have done each of yours as I cant get either to work.
1. WIFI or UMTS connect...
2. Run VPN
3. Run terminal server, automatically disconnects my VPN. Servers are secure, no VPN to RDP.
Please advise your methodology as I cannot for the life of me get that VPN connection to stay on.
Dont get me wrong, UMTS, WIFI, and RDP internal of the networks works fine, just the VPN part stuffs me up
I had to create a work URL Exception under settings/connections/advanced
Once I did this there was no problem getting a VPN connection over WIFI
hmmm...
NLMCarl : may I respectuously ask wether when you turn on the wifi, it connects you to the Internet (which would explain why umts seems soo fast, since the path is the wifi then and not the umts anymore)
BBill : for your case, AFAIK, the umts is linked to the Phone provider plan (meaning the SIM card as well) so no phone means no umts at all. (very slow connection then )

Dont know if this will help but...
When I first tried a VPN over GPRS/UMTS on my Exec I, too, found that it didn't work. After a lot of testing I discovered that my provider (O2) was assigning my Exec a dynamic address on the 10.x.x.x network. Unfortuantely, my home network was also a 10.x.x.x network. Therefore, when the VPN was up and I tried to access my home network through the VPN, it didn't go through the VPN at all, but just tried to access a device on O2's local 10.x.x.x network. This, of course, didn't work.
For me, the fix was to change my ip addresses at home to avoid the conflict. I am now on 172.19.x.x at home and haven't had a problems since.
Hope this helps.

Hello all. I have a siemens sx66 with ROM 1.33.10 running on Tmobile in the NYC area. I have no trouble connecting to GPRS with the unit and accessing the internet. I use the internet3 settings and have been provisioined for VPN through TMO. If I try to connect to my small ofice LAN through GPRS and VPN it seems that I get a connection(desktop shows inbound connection established) but can not view or even ping any of the network resources in either of the two network browsers I have. It seems to me that my trouble is in knowing how to properly configure the connection manager.
As a way to rule out the subscription or network in general, I installed the SIM in a GPRS modem on my laptop and successfully connected and accessed the network resources.
If someone could give me detailed instructions for configuring the connection I would greatly appreciate it. We can start from the point that I have a properly configured GPRS internet connection in the MY ISP section of Connection Manager and nothing more. It will have to be easier than trying to correct anything I had already done with the VPN connection.
Thanks!
I am trying to establish a VPN connection but cannot get the connection to work.
I am using the built in MS VPN client of Win Mobile v5.0 (5.1.1700 build 14352.0.1.0)
I am having real problems getting a VPN connection set up with our network.
I have tried both PPTP and L2PT
When L2TP, I was authenticating with a preshared key
Firewall logs show PPTP negotiation successful, and issues a VPN IP address to the device
It can ping the firewall external interface, but times-out trying to reach an internal address
The VPN session is established, but the firewall logs don't register either deny or allow traffic for each internal ping request, rather the firewall packet error count increments for each failed attempt.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I had problems with PPTP - gave up
I hate the way Windows mobile labels connections.
I connect to many customers with PC Anywhere, VNC, SSH etc and I have access via serveral different windows PPTP VPN.
Like you I setup the details in connections and try to dial.
Nothing seems to happen. The connect option does not change to disconnect. So I assume it is not connected.
I have a feeling these connection do not work over WIFI. and perhaps work over T-mobile 3g only, to maximise data revenues.
Seems very buggy to me. I would really like someone to post a working example/Instructions. Can I get a refund on my MDA PRo?
MS please note it is not a connection to my work or an internet connection it is to a customer for remote support, likewise I often connect remotely to my home via PPTP from my office.
confirmed VPN works over t-mobile 3g not Wifi
SEems the VPN links only work over 3g not Wi FI.
I'm using a PPTP connection over either 3G of WIFI depending on te active connection.
- When WIFI is active the PPTP connection connects using WIFI (I can switch off the phone, so it must be using that one)
- When no WIFI connection is active it automatically connects to 3G first, and than starts the PPTP session
In network management I'v set:
Internet:
Internet (the one containing the 3G connection)
select 'this network connects to the Internet' on the proxy tab.
private network:
My Work (the one that contains the vpn connection)
do NOT select 'this network connects to the Internet' on the proxy tab.
So as you can see, nothing special (I'm using a Qtek 9000 with standard Wm5 ROM)
I have problem with VPN connection to my privat network.
VPN connection works if I am on cable, wifi, but whan I am connected over 3G, HSDPA, than my connection works for about 5 seconds and than I hear sound from WM6 side that my 3G connection was broaken.
I can go to WM side and try with VPN connection there and it wont connect. But strange thing is, that if my VISTA is shutdown than I CAN connect with WM6 to my VPN server.
Please help if sombody had the same problem...
bye

I setup Hamachi yesterday on my Shift, on both the WM and Vista sides of the device and it worked perfectly. Of course, each "side" looks like a completely different node on the network, but it was really cool to remote desktop into my home and office machines from VM.

Which VPN client software and version are you using? Or is this window PPTP vpn?
I had some problems with Cisco VPN Dialer client and the pasword manager function of the finger print reading software. Once I turned off the password manger function both the VPN dialer and finger print reader are happy to coexist. ( issue might not be problem if you are not using a RSA fob like I have to)
I am using both on my shift Cisco VPN for work and the Windows PPTP connection to reach my home network. So I can confirm that they both work from Vista and that windows PPTP works from WM6.
Nothing special, just window PPTP vpn client. My internet connection works perpectly, but when I make a VPN connection, 3G just drops the line and than reconects when I disconnect VPN connection... But VPN is allways working for about 5 seconds, a few successful pings...
I just used the magic button FN+F3 and whn vista come up i have the same problem. That means that tre problem resides somewhere in WM part. I am still looking... The problem could be that my service provider and my contry are not on the shifts list, so there could be some connecion settings problems... On my other sony vaio the same data card and HSDPA connection and VPN works OK.
Now I am playing with WM side. I can establish VPN connection to my server, bat as soon as I try to send over some data it simply diskonects 3G connection and that establish it again, without VPN connection afcourse.
So my connection to VPN is working, but when I start internet explread try to conect to any web site, 3G connection restarts.
Any suggestions or somthing....

Hi.
Is there a fix to this? I am getting exactly the same problem. 3G works for surfing on vista and exchange push/browsing on WM side - As soon as I put a pptp VPN across to the work network, the 3G on the WM side drops, and if I am looking at m network connections in Vista, the "LOCAL AREA CONNECTION 2" network "card" disappears from network settings and the VPN stops.
If I disconnect the VPN, the 3G connection restores itself and I can browse again.
any help appreciated as I need pptp to work so I can ditch my laptop!

Have you tried going into the TCP/IP properties of the VPN connection, then 'Advanced' and removed the tick from 'use default gateway on remote network'. That fix the problem for me.

Yes, I did that, but then the internet works fine and the VPN and the 3G stay up okay, but everything seems to go to the local internet and nothing goes via the VPN tunnel.

Hi,
Probably you have to change the MTU settings in the Local Area Connection, here's the command:
netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Local Area Connection" mtu=1440 store=persistent
1440 is only a suggestion. If you low more the MTU you will notice a decrease in speed/bandwith but 1440 will be unnoticeable and will let VPN connections work.

Have you actually got a VPN session working? From what I can see, the problem is the way that the Vista side uses the modem.
If I do a route print from Vista with the VPN up, it doesn't add any routes, so sends all traffic to 192.168.160.1, which appears to be the IP of the modem/WM side of the device.
If I manually put in
ROUTE ADD 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 192.168.99.1
Which is the IP of the VPN router, all traffic gets routed out down the VPN and it works for about 5 minutes, then the "Local Area Connection" network card in Manage Networks, disappears. If I then drop the VPN (because strangely it stays up) the LAC card comes back...

I didn't tried to establish a VPN with my Shift, but I found this MTU problem with many GPRS and 3G connections when establishing VPN (PPTP and also IPSEC ones).
I don't see how to help you more, sorry

vista utilizes ICS from WM6 to get the connection. that's why you see 192.168.0.1
We had a similar problem with Cisco VPN Client constantly disconnecting when using 3G Cards. We use a Cisco ASA 5510.
One solution is to disable the Keep Alive function in the ASA for the specific VPN Profile.
Hope that helps!
Try your Networks VPN APN - it could be an IP conflict.
I tried cisco vpn client over hsdpa and it worked.
I still have problem connecting with microsoft PPTP client. After few seconds connection vista-wm just drops and comes back again when PPTP client disconects.
Problem is ICS from WM6 in my appinion...
Please help me
Im facing a strange problème

Hi Everyone,
Having the Shift as my workhorse since some moths, there is still one annoyance I couldn't avoid: my VPN connections are interrupting the Internet connection when using 3G/HSDPA modem connecting to Internet in Vista/WM.
I was trying to search through all existing threads, but I still don't see anyone finding a solution.
I think the root lays in WM somewhere, since I cannot establish a PPTP connection in WM neither. In my case it is certainly not caused by the data provider, because I have checked it with them.
Let's try to put our knowledge together to sort this out !
This is normal behaviour I suppose
When connected to the VPN, the VPN must provide you with either a proxy or another internet gateway, otherwise you are just connected to a private network...
Maybe you mean something else, but from what I read it seems like you never got on the internet with VPN active.
If you did, and you are talking about intermittent network errors, then only high performance settings on your power settings may help.
If you could give more info I could help more. IP/Proxy/Gateway/ did it ever work yes no etc.

Lucid,
Thanks for replying. I will try to explain it another way.
1. When I am connected to Internet via Wifi, I have no problem using my VPN connection. I get authenticated and connected to the company network and the connection stays active as long as I want.
2. Using 3G/HSDPA Internet, the following happens:
- I start the same VPN connection, and get connected.
- Than my 3G/HSDPA connection breaks up, and the PPTP dialin stays alive - it doesn't have any use this way of course.
- When I disconnect from VPN, the 3G connection comes back automatically.
I hope this is more clear this way, any hints are very welcome !

Thats exactly the same problem that i have had for over months - it just doesn't work and I can't see any way to get it to work - so much so, I don't use the Shift anymore - got a Tytn II and redfly and just remote desktop to a PC on the work lan!

The VPN that you are running is on VISTA side.(if yes try to see the routing table) by default the VPN get the default GW, and try to change it.
If this is the issue then you can go to the VPN connection properties -> Networking ->TCP/IP -> Properties -> Advanced -> IP Setings -> unchek the use the default GW on remote network.
regards
Is this a problem caused by this vista "feature", which disconnects the 3G Modem from Vista, as soon as an other network is being connected via WLan or via cable?
I think this is a stupid feature. Instead of that the users just should set the metrics for the networks manually and you can be sure, that Vista always uses the WLAN instead of the GSM/3G modem, if both where available.

alazarid,
Thanks a ton, the TCP/IP part did the trick ! Now my VPN has a use ).
cheers !
Ok guys heres the issue...
At first I thought this problem was associated with the fact that there may have been some software monitoring for other data connections, to disable the GSM modem when not needed...
After checking into everything, I found that there is probably NO software that does this...
Since WM handles the passthrough for the 3G connection, and ontop of that the actual endpoint for the data connection on the GSM connection is the WM side and not Vista, what happens is what when the VPN creates a connection and you opt-in to use the default remote gateway (I prefer to use it, because I require this for the work I do), the default gateway is updated on the 3G network interface.
I beleive that this update of configuration, then causes the WM side to stop the connection because either a) it doesn't know howto interprit this or b) retries to create the connection because it thinks there is an error.
I havn't played with this for a few weeks, and have my fair shareof other stuff I deal with, so I cannot remember if WM NATs the 3G connection, but the key thing breaking this is the WM side.
I beleive that IF you did want to hack up a configuration that uses the remote gateway, you could configure a VPN connection under Windows Mobile and have WM connect to the VPN, therefor the PC would be using that connection (but wouldn't be aware that its connected to the VPN), therefore giving the user access to the VPN, WITH the remote default gateway being used.
Again, as I mentioned its been a while since ive gone tech on my Shift, but I beleive this is correct. If anyone wants to add anything, please feel free.
Please assist.
1. My PC identifies the HD2 as Ad-Hoc and not as Infrastructure. Is it the case?
2. The WiFi router application registers only the WAP APN in the internet connections. I usually use the Internet APN, why is it not chosen?
3. On my PC, should I enter the 10 digits WEP key for all four WEP key slots, or just into the first slot?
4. When I try to connect, the HD2 prompts me to enter a Static IP address (no DHCP support). Where should I enter it? what mask and gateway addresses?
Thanks
anyone using that app?
I tried, but I can't. Unlike the original poster, it tries to connect to my MMS access point, of course there's no internet access there. I haven't been able to figure out how to make it work yet.
Mine works perfectly but only if the HD2 is right next to the computer. For some reason the range is ridiculously minimal.

Battery drain, if the range was increased it would kill the battery.
I have the same problem as the first poster : I can't choose the correct 3G connection. Only one connection is displayed in HTC Wifi Router with one single radio button on its right and it's not the right internet connection for unlimited internet.
in order to choose the right APN, please choose SETTINGS>CONNECTIONS>CONNECTIONS>ADVANCED>SELECT NETWORKS and enter the right APN (Internet) in both tabs.
That will do the trick.
still, although HD2 is discoverable by my PC (in wifi Find networks), with a good reception level, my PC insists that it is an Ad-Hoc connection (no DHCP) and when I try to use Infrastucture (with the wep key), my PC cannot establish association (get IP address from the HD2) and it shows no signal level.
Please assist.
Zolom, thanks? I did that and it improved a bit the situation: now email clients work (pop) but web surfing still doesn't work. I didn't try yet other internet connections.
not working anymore
before i installed 1.48 everything worked perfect but after the upgrade it doesnt work anymore. now my computer can connect but the phone also connects to its own network.... very strange behavior.... tried to turn off wifi but that also turns off router. any suggestions anyone?
Voila I finally got rid of the "HTTP 403 Forbidden" error with a (partial?) solution.
I have installed user agent switcher (http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/installed/07/) for Mozilla on Windows Vista, and I entered the user agent of my ISP on my HTC HD2 . It works!
Questions:
- Is it possible to set the user agent on other browsers such as IE or Opera?
- I noticed the user agent is not necessary for pop3 email clients. Is user agent mandatory for other internet services, like Messenger, SIP, Skype, software updates, etc?
