I was wondering if there was a way I could access a wireless network that uses PEAP?
(our university uses PEAP to access its wireless network, the university's tech support guy told me if my pda supports PEAP, then it can access it)
now the problem is, I downloaded FUNKS ODYSSEY CLIENT, and as soon as i installed it, it said "cannot run, trial expired " or something like that, even though it was the first time i install it and never ran it before =S
anyways, i removed it (it was freezing up my cingular 8125 anyways)
is there any other way i could connect via PEAP (other than using oddyssey client?)
thanks

I work in IT and often need to conect to customer sites to resolve issues.
Many of our custoemrs allow me to have VPN access in.
This works a dream from XP PRO.
However I thought I would try and access 2 customers via VPN over WIFI from my MDA PRO which I have just upgraded to the latest T-mobile UK ROM.
I created my 2 connections both use PPTP.
I then tried to connect one of them , holding the stylus over the connection I wanted and selecting connect.
Nothing seems to happen.
Rebooted
tried again the same.
Disabled WIFI and tried over the usb connection and activesysnc, nothing.
How do you know when you are connected.
I removed the password info and tried to connect again.
Exepecting to be prompted for password.
nothing appears on the screen.
no error messages, I would expect to see conenction failed, or a disconnect option once you connect.
Am I missing something.???
I dont think your missing a thing, ive tried it before and never got it working through any connection method. bag of pap as they say
VPN only seems to work over t-mobile 3g not wifi
I can conenct via 3g but not wifi
Seems to be a device limitation
Update
I understand from T Mobile UK this is a problem that their UK partners cannot fix so they have passed it onto T Mobile in Germany who will raise it with their suppliers.
There is no promise of a fix or any idea of timescale
This works fine for me:
1.Set up VPN Connection in connection settings for th server you wish to use
2. - most important - in the advanced tab relating to above under Exceptions you need to enter the IP address of the computer you are trying to connect to
3. Go to Terminal services in Programs and enter the IP address of the cf the computer yo wish to connect to - and press Connect
Hopefully that may work for you

What am I missing? Where can you obtain the updated rom from? I cannot find it on the T-Mobile site.

Hey Guys,
I have a 8125 from Cingular and when, when i try to log in to my work wireless network, after typying in my username, password and domain, it gets connected and as soon as it does message pops out saying: "cannot log on to the wirells network. This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you."
so pretty much i can't get connected, what should i do to resolve that?
Here are the network card settings for my work access:
Authentication: WPA
Data Encription: TKIP
802.1x
EAP type: PEAP
thanks
I have the exact same problem as you. I haven't been able to figure it out either. I believe my connection is LEAP though, not PEAP.
ive just set up my home network. I got everything working on the setup, main puter, 3 laptops, XDA mini s and XDA2i. I then added wpa psk with tkip. The laptops and the main puter all work fine but both the XDA's with the password entered just sit there either saying connecting or netwok available. They will not connect. Very very frustrating.

For some reason using PEAP on a Windows Mobile device requires you to have a Client Certificate installed on the device as well as the server certificate. Luckily the Wizard has a certificate enrollment utility built in (Settings, Connections, Wireless LAN). Make sure the certificate template 'ClientAuth' is enabled on the CA Server.
Obviously you need to enroll whilst the Wizard is connected to your PC and on the network.....

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.
Hi there
I want to connect to my universities wireless network.
The requirements the want are;
Root Certificate installed (I've already installed)
a client device that supports the wireless authentication mechanism, 802.1x/PEAP. (This bit is which I am not sure that the Exec has)
----------------------------------------------------------
Part of the configuation instructions provided by the university
Network name (SSID) = ****-student
Network Authentication = WPA
Data encryption = TKIP
If you do not see an option for WPA then the
software for your network card might need
updating. Please consult the manufacturers
documentation on how to do this.
---------------------------------------------
Is there a way that I can get a patch or something or is it still possible to access my universities wireless network?
I've got a o2 XDA Exec
Many thanks for your help guys
In my previous university, the MAC of the WiFi network needs to be registered before you can use it, even you have all the username or password. First I didn't notice this because other friends got their notebook connected without registering their WiFi cards. And only later, I notice that since they bought their notebook via the university, the MAC is already registered. Double check with your uni IT guys.
Also, check if they have WiFi B support. You may need to check if your phone is capable of using G. There are solution for *some phone to enable G, search.
OK it seems to connect but I need to install my university root certificate on my universal.
How do I do that?
Thanks
Hi
I'm currently using the stock 3.1 rom and prefer not to install custom roms. I can't connect to my university wifi network which uses EAP network. Is there any way to fix this issue?
Thanks a lot!
MY uni uses EAp with MSCHAP, I have no problems connecting, however they provide instructions for how to do it as well, have you spoken to your Uni's IT dept ?
[/QUOTE]=boganslaw;17588042]MY uni uses EAp with MSCHAP, I have no problems connecting, however they provide instructions for how to do it as well, have you spoken to your Uni's IT dept ?[/QUOTE]
I haven't talked to them, but when trying to connect, we put in ID (email) and password. Then it usually connects just fine. My previous tablet worked just fine and my laptop worked fine with the network too. Is there something else that I need to put in in other spaces when I type my ID and password? There were spaces for other stuff, but I have no idea what those are. HOWEVER, other devices connected just fine without filling out those..
EDIT: I just checked my university website for how to connecting it, and it says it's PEAP type, and WPA2, AES, etc..not sure what those are, but..
And it also says that the authenticate method is Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2). So I assume it's the same as yours? But I don't know why it wasn't connecting.. It kept saying "connecting..." and does nothing. I can connect to home network just fine. Help please!

I've had the same problem with our work network, the fix from the thread gets everything back in line and it usually sticks for quite a while before popping up again.
