Need some advice on using VPN via GPRS.
Have an O2 mini s which connects to GPRS with no problem and lets me surf the internet. When I try to connect to my work VPN I get no indication at all, no attempt to connect, no error message.
Have setup the VPN connection with my works IP address that works fine from my desktop PC. The vpn type is PPTP everything else is default.
Any clues or pointers would be gratefully received

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.
Regards,
Kueh.
:x I cannot seem to get the VPN side of things working.
Has anyone tried a VPN using WiFi ?
I can connect to a WiFi Access Point and browse the internet. I then try to establish a VPN connection to my network using the IP address of the VPN Server, get prompted for the user credentials, and the XDA tries to connect and just doesn't, no errors. The VPN Server is working, as I have tested the same settings using an HP Ipaq 5550.
Any suggestions ?
VPN Fault
O2 Data Support have confirmed that this is a bug.. Damn ! :evil:
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 isp.cingular provisioned and can connect some of the time.
1 vpn which goes to my home network works using vista as the vpn server connection. It does not always connect the first time though.
My work vpn which is pptp on a watchguard firewall, has 5% chance of actually connecting. Most of the error messages are talking about packets missing etc... When it does connect i cannot ping servers on the network but i see that the phone has a correct ip address and dns servers from the vpn. the gateway is the same as the ip assigned to the connection.
I have the same issue using the tilt over wifi from home where the vpn does not always connect at work.
I know the work vpn is fine since i use it all the time with vista's vpn dialup stuff.
Anyone got answers or ideas?
I have an Asus P750. Under My ISP I have my Providers GPRS Settings and under my Work Network I have only one VPN Connection, Wi-Fi is set to connect to Internet. When I connect the VPN it will first connect to the GPRS and then the VPN and works fine. If in my WiFi List there is a Network which was connected only once and is then disconected the VPN will not work anymore. It will connect the GPRS Connection and the Moment the VPN starts it will drop the GPRS Connection and give me the Error Message VPN Server Problem........ If I then delete all WiFi Connections and re-boot the Machine then the VPN over GPRS works fine till the next time I use WiFi. Everything else works and connects fine. Any Ideas anybody...
