Any experience with AnthaVPN (exMovian VPN)?

Hi,
seems that I found only one reliable (at least by reviews) VPN client for PPC2003: AnthaVPN, in previous versions aka MovianVPN. I know that older version was pretty bad. How about a new one? Does anybody have experience of using it and could give some thoughts? I'm particulary interested: does it support RSA Tokens, how about MS Mobile 5, does it work with QTEK 2020i (there were some probs with HP's)), does it really support all sorts of wireless connections (WiFi, IrDA, GPRS, BT)? Thanks a lot in advance.

See http://www.onixnet.com/antha/anthavpn_features.htm
Yes it does support RSA SecureID

thanks a lot, Wiz. Yes I saw these specs on Antha site as well. But I'm more interested in practise use of this tool, cause I haven't found any more info except advetising and press reviews... In any case, thanks for the link, there are at least user and concentrator configuration guides available to download.

Using Skype to call/qtek S200/

Hi all,
I am trying to use Skype on my S200 and it works ok when using it for text (what could go wrong there anyway )
However if I try to call then I get prob's.
Very slow, then I get sound problems (reception mainly).
Is this a problem anybody else is experiencing as well? Does anyone here have a solution? I remember reading about overclocking but I thought the OMAP processor that qtek s200 had is good enough to handle Skype?!
For info I downloaded the mobile version for 9090 as only 2 were available. The other one was for qtek 9000 (which I have not tried out yet).
"The minimum requirements to run Skype for Pocket PC 2.0 are:
· OS: Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC or Pocket PC 2003
· Display: 320x240, 640x480 (portrait or landscape), 240x240, 480x480
· CPU: 312Mhz + (Optimized sound quality versions for Intel Xscale, 312Mhz and for 400MHz+), b
· Network: WiFi, 3G or EDGE "
Any ideas/suggestions?
P.S. I would like to avoid the overclocking solution if possible.
Thanks!

Hi Makis,
I am afraid you have to go through overclocking to get acceptable performances with Skype. I am currently using the latest version for Mobile (2.0) downloadable from the skype site.
Search the forum for OmapClock and Skype... you'll find all directions to run it.
...until a new version, optimized for Omap/dual core comes out... if ever...
Bye.

Hi
Which one ? The one for slowest processor or the "normal" one ?
Thx for your answer.

slvrbllt,
Thanks for the reply.
I guess no other way around it. Overclocking it is then. One of these days I will give it a try, I remember seeing something about over clocking in here.
PS
Did you download the one for 9090 or 9000?
Thanks again.

See last post in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40583&highlight=skype+arm
and you should be able to try out the older, but specialized Skype for ARM devices, unlike the Xcale version that everyone here is using which is causing problems on Prophet. Download the GENERIC ARM version and give it a try.
Please post your results after trying it out.

krale thanks!
very helpful indeed.
For those who will read this in the future I think it is better if you follow the link that krale provided were you can find more specific and detailed info on this subject.

Look for A2DP tread on this forum... Sorry, I can't point you directly.

skype version
You can use the older Skype ARM version, however you won't have access to the contacts you may have added on your desktop version, since it is the newer v.2 which supports the server contact list.
However I'm using the new version of Skype without problems, overclocked to 240 of course.
Get the 312Mhz version from here:
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/mobile/download.html
I haven't tried the high speed one, it may work if you feel like experimenting.

All,
Thank you for your replies and suggestions, everything was very helpfull.
I decided to give overclocking a try.
I tried the opmapclock that you can find in the forums (search for overclocking) There is also a step by step guide on how to keep your gadget overclocked the whole time, because once the phone goes to sleep you have to overclock it again.
I tried my S200 running on 228Mhz and 240Mhz (skype worked fine) and so did all the other applications. I found the 228 enough to see a small improvement.. DO NOT expect miracles and please be careful since there can be some issues if youi over do it. I suggest you do some research in here before you decide to overclock.
I used the latest skype version (I think it is the 2.0 version).
Anyway I hope someone else can also find this info usefull in the future.
Once again thanks for all the help..
Makis

You also have the option of using other VOIP solutions. Do a search for SJphone and sipdiscount and you'll find more info. I can use SJphone without overclocking, but I need to overclock to 240 for the new version of skype.

Thanks Matterhorn I will have a look.

Skype on the Wizard

I'd like to get Skype working on the Wizard. I've tried searching but there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive guide.
I also just tried downloading from Skype.com for the pocketpc 312mhz version and it downloads and installs ok, however at the EULA stage the text doesn't all fit on screen so I am unable to accept the EULA and test it.
Can anyone give any hints and tips? Perhaps the I-Mate cab is available as apparently that may be optimised for the Wizard.
I have a Wizard with the new T Mobile UK firmware.
Many thanks for your help.

...did you install low cpu version (cab version or pc-windows executable). I installed it from...
http://www.freecabs.de/
program1 (new), you've got to search a little (great place, though, for other freeware).
...and i didn't had any EULA issues.

many thanks i'll give that a try

I've installed the low-cpu version and even with the wizard overclocked around 240 I find the voice quality not adequate enough.

...with overclocking you're able to use high cpu and therefor better quality. Also there are some threads around to improve mic & phone sounds...

I tried the low cpu beta install linked from the freecabs site, same issue, I get the eula and just see a t at the end and no yes / no / i agree to progress past this.
Anyone else have any ideas?

I'm assuming all of these require the use of skype, what other software is out there that lets you use VoiP on these phones? (We use VoiP at the office, but not Skype)

...i don't know any other VoIP software because at this moment there are 3 million skype users online, and i wanna stay in contact with them, so i didn't looked for any other. Or can other VoIP-servers connect with skype servers?...

i down loaded the low cpu cab and it sound real bad even with my qtek 9100 over clocked at 252 and using wifi

hermes and network tools

Hi,
I am a new Hermes owner and I am a networker.
So I am loking for anything related to network on Hermes to play with
unfortunately I am very confused with so many non-working applications for PPC. This is my first PPC device and I still couldn't go further then seeing my IP address on the device.
Of courser I can use it for any network application but I want to sniff, analyze, collect info...
So far, I've heard the following applications:
- VxSniffer
- PhatNet and Phatnet Pro
- Hitchhiker
- Commview wifi for PPC
- Windows Mobile Network Analyzer PowerToy for WM5
- Pocket Warrior
- CENiffer 3.0
- wififofum
- wifiknife
VxSniffer:
didn't work on my Hermes - don't know why but it says that it can't load driver.
it only worked once but then after a reset it gave the same error.
do you know the cause ?
PhatNet Pro:
didn't also work. but it never works. VxSniffer worked at least once.
Windows Mobile Network Analyzer PowerToy for WM5:
It works but really does nothing other than giving me obvious information.
Wifiknife and Wififofum aren't really doing anything sensible. Maybe just for fun.
I didn't try CommView, Pocket Warrior, CENiffer, Hitchhiker yet. But I really have no hope.
I've read the following article :
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1226&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
But it gave me no hope...
So I am still looking for software.
Which one really works on Hermes and really is useful ?
How do you use VxSniffer ? (I ask this because it was the only one that seemed like it would work and I see some people on this forum talking about it)
Does hitchiker or commview work ?
Please help me

????????
Well erm..... what is it you want to do?
Hitchhiker works if you want to connect to a network. Wififofum that you say does nothing sensible gives you info about networks in the area. That is what these sort of apps. are designed for. If you want more then you have to be more specific in stating your purpose.
At random I might suggest something like logmein as a network tool to control your PC, but I live in fear that you will say that's not what I'm looking for it does nothing sensible!!
You ask for apps that really are useful - and that's the point, useful for what?
More detail please?
Mike

ok; detail...
I am looking for network analyzing, packet capturing, sniffing tools.
also talking about wifi, wep key sniffing would be nice.
also, I am looking for an emule/edonkey client for PPC.
I have mobiphant but a better client (if exists) would be nice.
btw, what information do you get from wififofum (I mean information that standart builtin wlan tool does not supply) ?
logmein is a pc controlling software as far as I know from my readings throughout the forum. I need this kind of application but my limitation is that I can only use remote desktop protocol. (formy work pc)
now, you'll say "use the built in TSC" but it is not usefull with 320x240 screen size. So I tried Nyditot to achieve a higher screen resolution. Then it made my stylus unuseful (screen alignment problem)
you see, there are too many problems that I need to solve with my Hermes.

emule/edonkey, wep key snifers - get a life!!

Come on ...
Want to use your HERMES as a hacking tool?
Forget it ...

why not ?
hey guys, why not ?
I don't understand you.
there are these applications...
mobiphant is a working emule client. I used it and I even downloaded someyhing on the go.
I just couldn't find the right sniffing application.
commview and hitchhiker should be working. I just don't know how to install and use these.
if phatnet, commview, hitchhiker, vxsniffer, and other tools are written. then there is a demand. and also there is possibility.
so why not we don't use it ?
I don't understand why you are negative about this.

I think there is negativity because the combination of applications you seem interested in suggests that you want to drive up to someones house or perhaps detect the neighbours network, crack their wep key, and start downloading their files.
Or maybe you have just given the wrong impression??
Mike

I think it's wrong impression.
I am a network expert in a serious network and telco company.
I have high bandwidth internet access both at work and at home.
I don't need to crack my neighbour's wep key.
It's just that I love network tools and now that I have a new toy which can access wifi, I want to play with it.
I need network sniffer to troubleshoot my voip applications on the hermes.
I need the emule client to download ANYTHING from e2dk networks while I am connected with my hermes.
there is no evil idea. I just want to use tools that are available. I am not familiar with this pocket pc OS (I was a PalmOS user for 6 years) and I need help.
besides, if I need to hack my neighbour's network I could use my laptop with many available tools.

That seems fair comment to me.
Unfortunately not being an expert in this area, we'll have to wait for replies from those who are.
Mike

I've found another one: ministumbler
it's available at :
http://www.stumbler.net
and
http://www.wardriving.pl/new.php?nr=193
it seem like a new application however, it didn't work...
Maybe I am doing something wrong.
Should I enable wifi card or disable it before using such applications ?
as soon as I enable my wifi card it connects to my wifi network.
maybe this interrupts the sniffer application ???

I use WiFi Companion, so you can chack that out if it suites you
Here is the link: http://www.jiwire.com/socket-wifi-companion-product-review-1.htm

wifi companion seems like a nice application. should I install it to devşce or the storage card ?
any special instrucions ?

You can install it on storage card, it works fine from there..
No special instruction needed for network experts..

here is what i have on my Hermes.
btcrawler - bluetooth snarfing/scanning tool (not really that useful but fun none the less)
mtoken - serial/telnet/ssh client
pocket tty - ppc version of putty
sniffi - wireless scanning tool (btw ministumbler doesnt work on the hermes)
wififofum2 - wireless (not sure which one i like yet)
vxipconfig - release renew etc..
vxutil - ping/traceroute/finger/nslookup etc...
Others
CE Sniffer v3.1 - packet capture (like ethereal, i have used it on my old ppc havent installed it on hermes yet)
vxSNMP - read/write snmp (havent installed it)
vxSniffer - packet capture (havent installed it, but Cambridge software generally is very good)
WEP cracking - havent seen anything for ppc running windows. Generally you need linux on a IPAQ or similar.

thank you
I will try these...
However, I have a very generic problem:
when I install something related to wifi adapter, I generally can't run it.
all of the apps I tried say that :
"can't load driver"
"driver not loaded"
"driver not available"
I got these for most of the apps. Now I try the Socket Wi-fi Companion as suggested and I get a similar error:
"one or more components of WLAN tools were not found, or there are too few resources available to start the program. please verify proper installation of WLAN tools and try again"
I tried several times and the result is same.
My wifi is working. I am connected to my home wifi router now.
So what is the problem ?
Should I start these apps when my wifi is on or off ?
should I run them when I'm connected to a wlan or not ?
maybe there is a conflicting application I think but the only continuous running app is Wisbar Advanced.
What do you suggest ?

most of the wifi apps were written a while ago and dont contain drivers for the wifi in the hermes. A good example is ministumbler, it has not been updated for years.
You dont really need a wifi scanner to do more then tell you a network exists, if it is secured, what channel, power of the network, and if your lucky what brand of AP it is. sniffi and wififofum2 both do this and have gps tagging too.
There are plenty others out there though.

senergy,
I understand you but I can't run any of the apps that you (and others) report working.
I have a problem using these drivers on my hermes. what could it be ?

anyone using any of these sniffing applications successfully on Hermes ?

which vxsniffer version works on Hermes ?
vxSniffer.hpcPro_arm.CAB
vxSniffer.hpcPro_I486.CAB
vxSniffer.hpcPro_mips.CAB
vxSniffer.hpcPro_sh3.CAB
vxSniffer.hpcPro_sh4.CAB
vxSniffer.ppc3_arm.CAB
vxSniffer.ppc3_mips.CAB
vxSniffer.ppc3_sh3.CAB
I still can't get further than "cannot load driver"

I'd go for the PPC ARM cab

Website with Compatable Software?

Hi, i've been lurking around the forums for a while, and i managed to unlock and update my wizard to Blackdiamond 3.1 thanks to the wonderful tutorials (evilmonkey rules).
However, i've been trying to find a source for programs that are compatable with the wizard (be it wm5 or wm6) and i can only really find crappy sites that charge money for free programs.
i don't want anything illegal , but i'd just like a source of where to find programs that will work on the wizard that are free, like Java support, a Sudouku game, games, misc apps...etc
searching around the forums, i've found a few programs such as Mplayer (that doesn't work quite well on the wizard) and pocketnester (freaking Awesome) but does anyone have a more concise source of what works for SURE on the wizard? ( there are some programs that aren't included on certain distros, even though i would love to have them)
thanks in advance. If i have missed a similar post, then please feel free to call me an idiot and direct me to the post.

many here
http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=free+pocketpc+software&btnG=Google+Searc

yes, i already did that, what i was referring to in general, was software that actually worked flawlessly on the wizard be it wm5 or wm6.
