Connecting to my VPN through GPRS for Remote control

Can anyone guide me through how to dial up through gprs, connect to my vpn (IP address) and then run my desktop remotely?
I have WM2003 on my SX-56
I have installed VNC and have a viewer on my SX-56 and a server on my desktop. Do I need them? I am running WinXP on the desktop and can aleady connect remotely with my laptop?
Any help (or hope) for me?
Thanks

accessing LAN from PPC with activesync

Hallo,
I've searched for a long time in the forum and in Internet but I was not able to find how to access a shared folder on my :shock: LAN. It seems I have to use pass-through connections but I'm not able to make it work. Every time I use pocket file explorer to open a shared folder (writing the complete UNC) I receive the message "the network path was not found" and then "network resource cannot be found .....".
My LAN is a 192.168.1.X network and I've seen that IP assigned to the PPC is 192.168.55.101
Thank for every help.
Rudy

I'm not sure.
But have you tried localhost????

I've tried from pocket file explorer both \\localhost and \\127.0.0.1 but I've received always the same messages.

Tryed Pocket LAN yet?

It works
I have been trying to do this for months and pocket Lan works perfectly

There is a freeware network utility, named vxUtil.
Maybe this tool help you to solve the problem.
Utilities include:
DNS Audit
DNS Lookup
Finger
Get HTML
Info
IP Subnet Calculator
Password Generator
Ping
Ping Sweep
Port Scanner
Quote
Time Service
Trace Route
Wake On LAN
Whois
vxUtil (Personal) operates on all Windows CE-based Handheld, Handheld Pro, Palm-size and Pocket PCs and requires Windows CE 2.0 (or later).

I've truid both pocket lan and vxUtil with no results. I can't ping the laptop. I think I could never ping it if the network segment of PPC and laptop are different. Laptop ip now is 10.0.0.8 and PPC always 192.168.55.101. Perhaps I should enabled a proxy on the PPC to route the ping.

do you have a personal firewall installed on laptop? try to disable and check

I have no firewall installed or active.
I was successfull in accessing the LAN using the software "pocket LAN CE", but this is obvious thus it installs a server software that stays resident in the tray bar of the deskop PC.
There must be a solution to access the LAN using only active sync!

As far as I know that's not possible without a LAN card.
The passthrough which is available via activesync works only for internet connections.
I might be wrong. Keep looking. Have done it for a long time an gave it up.
If you find a solution feel free to share at this forum.

How about LAN over Bluetooth?

LAN over bluetooth
And how do we accomplish this with the XDA II while the XDA II has no profile for LAN over bluetooth.
Please share the info you've.
Because this is interesting to me too!

For me too I'm also trying bluetooth over XDA but aint working yet

:?
I have installed bluetoothGPS.zip file (found in this forum) and then I installed the Bluesoleil Bluetooth Software for the PC (evaluation version). I could get an IP for the PPC and see the LAN but Internet wasn't working. Anyway having the two Bluetooth Stacks at the same time on the PPC is not a good alternative...
So please:
-MS give us some more Bluetooth Profiles, cm on, you can doit!
- Tobias and Pocket Bluetooth Tools: Please finish the LAN profile, I already donated you :wink:
Cheers

Make sure that a "guest" account is enable on your server, and try protocals other than tcp/ip. Ipx/Spx is fair. I suppose I should ask first if the activesinc laptop is able to browse the target folder? If it can, then try mapping the share as a network drive on the laptop, and see if you can nav to it using activesinc??? I'm a newbie, and don't even have my MDA I yet (in about 2 hours, I will). I will definantly be trying lots of unorthodox crap, so I'll let you know if I get it to work! Good luck.

Use Terminal Services Client Over VPN

I would like to use the built-in terminal services client to connect to one of our servers using the GPRS/VPN connection I am able to establish.
The problem is as follows:
I can establish the GPRS/EDGE connection to the internet. I then connect to the VPN and it shows that both connections are connected and data is running over the connection. I can ping the servers IP address, but as soon as I try to connect through the TS Client, it disconnects the VPN.
Has anyone been able to get this to work?

Be sure that your terminal server name does not has dots in the name. WM5 thinks that any name with dots is from Internet, and any name without is the Intranet ("my work network"). So, if you try to connect, for example, to the server named trm.company.com, WM% decides it is on the Internet and drops МЗТ connection.
To fix it: go to "Settings" -> "Connections" -> "Advanced" tab -> "Exceptions..." button, and add the server name with dots to the "Work URL" list.
If it helps, please, let us know here.

Thanks.
I have tried you recommendations and now the VPN does not disconnect. I think their must be some security enabled on the terminal server as I still can't connect. I think it must be something to do with Citrix or the encryption level on the server. I will investigate further.

Can you explain me waht is Terminal Services Client? (Any screenshot?)
Can I use it with my Jamin and laptop with USB cable or WiFi?
Many thanks!

The terminal services client is an application which is included in the ROM of most PDA phones. It allows you to connect to a terminal server from you PDA much like you would normally do it from you workstation using Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop Client = Terminal Services Client
If you go to Start, Programs on your PDA you should see the application listed there.
You can either do one of the following to use the client.
1. Connect you Jamin to you PC using the USB. You will need to activate the Modem Link application. Dial the GPRS connection from the PC and then connect to the terminal server using Remote Desktop on you machine.
2. Open a GPRS connection on the PDA (Not Connected to the PC). Open the terminal services client on the PDA and connect to the terminal server.

Great!
The connection must be always GPRS? I'll pay for do this?
Have you some screenshot?

Relaxxx! If you don't know what is it - it means that you don't need it at all
To access aremote desktop you need any IP connectivity: GPRS, EDGE, WiFi, but the desktop you connect to is not a service It can be your home PC or your business server, but it is not a thing you can use as, for example, any web site.
You need to establish a server by yourself or got an account for your company IT guys. You will pay for IP traffic, of course...

I've checked out the remote desktop with Win2000 server, but without VPN, on the Active Sync connection, it is OK. Ensure that your server uses RDP protocol (Microsoft), not Citrix propiertary protocol.

Help with CheckPoint VPN

Hi all,
I'm trying to configure the VPN "SecureClient" on my p3600.
I've installed the SecureClient and configured it.
From my phone I can connect to the company VPN. Using the Remote Desktop I can access the computers inside the network, so the VPN seems to work correctly. I've tried with UMTS and Wi-Fi network.
I've configured the Messages application to access the Exchange servers via IMAP4, because I don't have access to the OMA directory to access it via OWA.
Using the network via activesync when I'm in office, everything work correctly and I can download the emails. So no VPN.
The problem is when I try to access the Exchange servers via VPN. Seems that the Messages application doesn't route the traffic trough the VPN application like the Terminal Server.
I'm using WM6.1
Can someone help plz?
Thanks in advance.

Connect from PC to PPC over wi-fi

Hello,
I'd like to be able to connect from my PC to my PPC using wi-fi, nit USB/ActiveSync. This is part of an effort to establish connection between all networked computers - one PC and two PPC, including the possibility to connect from one PPC to the other. I am not sure how much of this is possible, and will appreciate advice.
Currently I have:
DHCP enabled wi-fi router and assigned static IPs to both PPCs, e.g. 192.168.2.100. I try to access this via FileZilla by typing the IP or the host name (WM_Cheeseus). I never get beyond:
"Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Error: Could not connect to server".
I can ping the device, but I cannot see it from Windows Explorer's Network Places (only see other PCs, not the PPCs).
From the device, I can ping the PC (192.168.2.102) but I get "request timed out" when trying to ping the second device, 192.168.2.109.
I think I am looking for the WM version of "sharing" my PPC's folders on the network.
So, what settings should I be looking for? Thanks!

Um... what do you mean by "put a ftp on it"? Will Total Commander's FTP/LAN plugins do or do I need something else? I have tried to connect to the other PPC via TCMD's LAN plugin but I can't.

no total commander got a ftp client not a server

Thank you!
Mocha FTP did the job - as far as connecting to the PPC from the PC. Unfortunately, it is still not possible to connect between the two PPCs by starting Mocha FTP on one and typing its IP into the other one's browser.
