I have had a quick search and haven't found an answer so here goes....
I previously had an iPAQ 6365 that I had working with L2TP/IPSec & PPTP VPN connections to a Windows 2003 Server. The L2TP/IPSec took a bit of setting up since I needed to get a Certificate on the device. Anyway after a lot of messing around I got it to work.
I have attempted the same procedure with my QTEK 9100 and I just can't get the L2TP/IPSec VPN client to work at all. I have the PPTP VPN working but if I change the connection from PPTP to L2TP/IPSec the Wizard doesn't even attempt to make a connection. I have put a sniffer on and have captured the PPTP connection setup that now works, but when I attempt to connect the L2TP/IPSec VPN nothing is transmitted by the Wizard at all. There is a brief flash on the Wizard as if it's about to start but nothing happens and the 'VPN server problems' dialogue box appears. I saw the post about disabling the Phone Skin setting in the registry but that has not made any difference.
I am running Faria's AKU 3.2 ROM but I don't remember anything in the notes (now gone...) about L2TP/IPSec VPN's not working....
Has anyone had any success with this?
Thanks
Andy
Just curious, do you use the built-in VPN on the pda, or do you use a separate VPN client for the ppc?

The built-in VPN client. As I said I had this all working with a iPAQ 6365. There were limitations to the L2TP/IPSec client (no NAT-T being the main one), but I can't even get that far with the Wizard.....
I have done some more testing today and used Molski's 2.26 ROM but get the same results. The Wizard doesn't even attempt to transmit anything when L2TP/IPSec is selected. With PPTP it works every time.

Hello : I have in my laptop a cisco vpn client. Is the only way to read my outlook exchange mail.
I have a token
http://www.dealtime.com/xPO-RSA_Security_100PK_RSA_SID_700_HW that i had to use the code with my password to get into my work network.
Ok the question is : Which aplication can do this in wm5 , like i do in my laptop with vpn cisco client.
Thnks a Lot
Luis,
i need exactly the same.
I tried AnthaVPN and Bluefire. Both claim to work with cisco concentrators.
With Bluefire i couldnt get it, but i saw in this forum people that made it work.
I think it depends on the configuration of the concentrator..so maybe you can try it.
About Antha, i could made it work, but made my wifi stop working, and i got some problems with active sync...
So for now...not very good news.
Try NCP Secure Entry Client:

Had similar problems with Antha (wireless could not be turned off any more), NCP works with our CISCOs in wireless and UMTS-dialup mode.

hey guys,
am trying to connect to my office's VPN with my vario II. the default software provided does not seem sufficient. for one, i have one of those security key ring things which means my password changes every time i want to connect.
my pc uses cisco's vpn client...
any ideas? right now i'm just synching my exchange server with my pda using activesync, but wouldnt' midn having it on the go! there's no "external" access as such for the exchange server - it does have a web front end but its highly customized and isn't as easy as just configuring it as an external data source on my pda...
This one works perfect for me..

We use AnthaVPN at my university and it's supposed to work quite well with Cisco concentrator gateways, but be warned, if you have the latest 3.3 aku, you might run into problems like I did regarding loosing 3g internet connectivity on your hermes. However it could have just been a fluke as I didn't bother trying a fresh install of antha after a hard reset or anything since 3g is just as fast as my universities wireless internet anyways
Hope this helps
You can also try Bluefire. They have a 30 day fully functional trial version.

I have installed this but can't see any way of configuring the VPN connection. How did you configure it?
You have to use the PC client in order to create a configuration file and then transfer the file to your device
duh!
thanks!
bluefire is amazing. i bought it.
I came close to getting bluefire to work on our Cisco network... But once connected it would not transfer data.
I read on a seperate post here that alledgely the medianet unlimited plan uses the wap.cingular access point. That point is NAT based and some vpn clients do not like that... So they refuse the connection based on changing ip addresses.
I am not a networking expert so I do not know if this is in fact the case.
I do know I tried every freakin setting for bluefile and could not get a vpn tunnel from my phone to our Cisco vpn... So I gave up!
NCP
Could I get more specific infos about bluefire? They wanted a 5 page survey before they would send me a (business) trial.
Well, NCP Secure Entry VPN Client works perfect for me with Lancom and other standard firewalls. And yes, configuration is made with a Win XP Desktop Application. Nice about this: They got a Desktop VPN client as well which will be configured exactly the same way. So if you got a working setting for your Laptop you can manually copy the settings and they will work on the PPC as well - thats what I did.
Hi,
I'm currently on a HTC Trinity using Mary's 3.3.5 ROM and want to be able to connect to my universities WiFi network but to do so I need to use a VPN tunnel, anyone recommend a good PPC App that will allow me to connect to my universities VPN?
Cheers,
Mike

WM6 Pro includes both a PPTP & a L2TP/IPSec VPN client. This will work with most VPN routers & firewalls, however they may not be configured to support it. If you can connect using Windows 2000/XP's built-in PPTP or L2TP/IPSec VPN Client then you can almost certainly connect with WM6's.
A lot if VPN Routers & Firewalls are supplied with a 'free' Windows client that has the documentation geared around it. However most (if not all?) of these products will work with the native VPN client in Windows 2000+ (and WM5/6). I would try and stick with the L2TP/IPSec client but this requires some additional steps over setting up PPTP - on both the client & server (router). It is worth the extra steps in my opinion though.
Andy
I have the same problem ... I am not able to connect using the default VPN client ...
Hi,
There's a great review of vpn clients by Menneisyys in the Wiki. It's entitled:
'Access Your Desktop PC From Your Pocket PC!'
I'm sure you'll find it very useful because it would point you in the right direction as regards VPN tunnelling to your Uni's server.

HI!
Thank you for your reply, but this articles are about "Remote desktop" - like solutions for WM - based devises. Not for connecting to VPN.
Did anybody have had any success so far?
Any working 3-rd party VPN clients / Solutions?
Thank you in advance.
Dmitry.

Hi,
You might find Manneisyys' review very long but if you take your time to read it, you'll see that he talks about the various VPN clients and how they compare. VNC, VNC+, etc are all mentioned there.
Just take your time to read it.
kiwi992.
Nice article, is the VPN working?
Do you have the WM6 VPN client working? Specifically the ActiveSync -> VPN -> MS Exchange functionality that was there under WM5?

Thank you for your answer!
But. Once again: the article talks about REMOTE CONTROL with the use of things like: RAdmin, MS RDP, etc.
This sofware - are remote desktops, so called VNC, not VPN clients in a classic way.
There is a little mess we get at the moment. (I've defenetelly got)
Let me describe in detail:
People need VPN here for many reasons, for me it is:
- to connect to some VPN through WIFI with our WM5 \ 6 device.
In my case- this is a public WIFI internet provider, which has a wifi coverage in the city.
Wifi is open PPTP. I need to type in a login \ pass on the web page I get, to start using the internet in current wifi session.
The ALTERNATIVE way to conect to internet - is to establish a VPN connection over the wifi.
I can successfully do in on the laptop.
With my UNI, WM5, AKU 3.5 - I can connect to VPN with the built-in VPN Client, but the first request to internet (via browser or Messaging send-receive) - drops my VPN connection, as it described here in the forum.
So: we need some software that can work.
I tried so far:
1. BlueFire VPN - just can't connect.
2. Antha VPN - just doesn't work.
I have heard thah on some other ROMs there is no problem with the built-in VPN client for PPTP, will try with some other WM6 ROMs later.
Any solution so far?
Thank you, kiwi992
Thanks to everybody!

Hi! The L2TP/IPSec is a special story.
It is widely discussed here at forum: xda-developers > General discussion > Networking >
Search for *VPN* string on this forum.
This is the: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302520&page=2&highlight=*VPN* one of the success stories.
You need to obtain the certificate from the system administrators of your network. You may also have some "magic" URL in your campus network, where you can download the required certificate. This URL should point to the inranet web page of the web interface of the VPN server.
If your goal is to securely connect to some specific computer on the network, you should use one of the VNC programs: the VNC server part on the computer, and the VNC client on your device.
In any case - first check your certificate \ settings on, say, Windows XP laptop, connected through WIFI, first, then continue with the device.
Good luck!
Dmitry
VPN problems
I don't know if this issue is specific to my device (pharos gps 600 gps phone), or to windows mobile 6 which I'm running.
I can't connect to my vpn through wifi, the reason being is that I cannot associate any connections through the wifi card with the vpn info.
Wifi card doesn't show as a selectable modem in the modem tab next to the vpn tab in the vpn config. Only modems are cellular line modems, bluetooth, and one "hayes compatible com1" which is my usb I would guess.
Does anybody know how I might get around this?
Sorry to be a pain with a new thread, but I need to connect to a standard IPSEC (cisco) VPN gateway. IPSEC is built in on the iphone2.0 but apparently not on winmo so what's the cheapest (free?) client to use that will work with the HD?
Thanks
Nothing good for free so far...
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395622
You can go green or blue, but neither of these is free:

I connect to my workplace using IPSec/L2TP built into Win 6.1 on my Diamond, IPSec is what the connection is at work and I connect without any problems..
Trixster,
What firewall do you use with this? I'm using a CISCO ASA (previously PIX) and can't seem to get it working. In the ASA logs it looks like it's not selecting the right tunnel.
Are you using a cert or a preshared key?
Thanks
Pre-shared Key and the unit is SnapGear 560, I haven't setup the HD yet to connect as I'm still playing with it but I don't see why it should differ from the Diamond?
Native IPSec stack on WM6.1 doesn't seem to be compatible with Cisco IPSec.

I'm beginning to think this, but I also have a feeling it might be to do with NAT-T.
I'm going to carry on trying today, failing that I will be going to bluefire (or anything else you can recommend? I'm after a lightweight VPN client just for the odd session, it doesn't need to be smart)
Hi, my problem is that I need a VPN Client for my Diamond but I can't find one. Actually I found some: NPC, Bluefire and OpenVPN (alpha). But those are for WM 5.0. So I don't know whether they function on WM 6.1. Another thing is that the WLAN I want to connect to is a Cisco VPN. I don't know whether those programs support Cisco VPN or not.
Hope you can help me

bluefire works like a charm on my wm6.1 diamond
as far i know my uni has cisco and bluefire works for me. Openvpn doesnt...
I would appreciate if there would be some mortscript automation, because you always have to dial wlan, then vpn and type in your password for vpn everytime...
Would you upload it please? The Bluefire homepage is down. Can I use *.pcf files to configure Bluefire? Because I only have a *.pcf file to configure the Cisco Client on my laptop.
Edit: Which version do you use? The newest version I found was 3.0 but as I said, the homepage is down unfortunately.
