Steps for setting up a VPN connection over wireless

Please forgive me if this topic has already been covered here - I've spent the last 3 hours searching but may have missed it.
Although I have a K-Jam, my boss has an XDA Exec / Universal and he's asked for my help in setting up VPN connectivity. This will be a VPN connection over wireless & / or phone network data connection into a Windows Server, used for syncing with Exchange, Terminal Services, etc.
So please (if possible) can someone who's successfully setup a VPN connection please post a step-by-step guide to doing so, or point me to a thread that I've missed.
TIA
VPN on JJ
I have done it, but not able to get it to work. i logged a support call on imate, and they sent me the steps outlining the obvious, and still not able to get it to work. I was only interested in the VPN over WIFI using my home wireless & ADSL to that I could operate Terminal Services.
The VPN does connect, but when TSC was running, it cut off. Going into connections, and create a new VPN is an easy exercise if you know what you are doing, stopping it from disconnecting was the diffiiculty.
I was told, but cant vouch the accuracy, you need your phone networks assistance to do this over a GPRS internet connection as they have to open a port, again, not sure.
There will be more knowledgeable people on this network that can help, if not, then I will try some more.
Hi all,..
I thought It had something to do with the exclusion of a specific ip range or domain name.
Try to go to settings, connections, go to the screen where you make the VPN connection. In this menu klick the Advanced Tab, klick on exceptions and type in the (for instance: 192.168.1.0) range or the domain name of your company if you connect through domain name...
Now I've got an question,.. setting up an VPN connection is not my problem, the problem is that I would like the connection to be established online when I want to go to for instance: 10.0.0.0. Only when (in every program) I connect to this IP range the VPN connection schould be automatticly established. On the original T- ROM I had that fixed, now on the I-mate rom I cannot fix that.
can some one help me making this working? so when I connect to my home server TS, of connect to a home share on the road the VPN conection will automatticly be established...
Best regards
AD
Hi
Dig out my post in this thread:

Should tell you what you want to know.
VPN works much much better on the universal than it did on my BA!
Nigel
Yep,..
after many atempts it's working now...
in the exceptions menu, on the exclusions the option
192.168.1.0 is'n't the correct option.... It must be:
192.168.1.* in order to specify the whle 192.168.1.--- range

need help with Antha VPN and/or WM5 network config

hi,
I recently bought the Antha VPN Client to get access to my university WLAN
(via Nortel gateway).
The software runs properly on WM5 except that it can't connect to anything at all. I do not know if it is a Antha VPN problem, a WM5 problem or a hardware problem with the MDA pro. The software seems not to recognize the built in WLAN of the MDA pro (at least I connot select WLAN among the networks).
But it also won't work with "Internet" ot "ISP". If I chose "ISP" it starts to connect, but then disconnects.
Maybe anyone of you has experience with VPN clients on the MDA pro.
How are the profiles in WM5 "Internet", "ISP", "Work" etc, related to each other?
Is there any hidden firewall, or the T-mobile branding blocks the software etc.?
Thank you very much for every idea and best regards,
Elias
I also had issues with Antha and conatct support where i was told that M5000 (Universal)is not supported yet and that they also have issues.
Unfortunately when i looked at the supported systems i thought that i had seen the SPV M5000 (or Universal or whatever it is called) but it was another one with a similar name.
I think we have to wait until they find a fix for it.
Unfortunately there are not a lot of VPN's out there which work with Windows Mobile 5. I tried NCP Secure Client, but don't get it working either, but this is maybe because of parameter. You may give this one a try.
Ingo
my 2 cents... give your sysadmin a tip and switch to openvpn, hassle free and damn-working ssl-based vpn. There is a openvpn pocketpc client in the works, and it's running pretty fine.
See you at the openvpn pocketpc forum

GPRS Datacall

Hi,
I' am trying to connect two Smartphones over GPRS. At first I used TAPI to establish a connection between the two devices, but I don't want to use a CSD-connection. Then I took a look at the Connection Manager from EVC++, but I think with the Connecttion Manager you are not able to connect the two phones by there phonenumbers, like with modems or tapi.
Is it even possible to do a data call over GPRS? Or is GPRS just used to connect to the internet?
thx foobar
I had an audiovox rtm8000 and I put my home phone number into the gprs connection settings. I was able to log in with terminal services client. I don't know how it could be done using a normal phone hardware.
Thanx, for your post. Could you describe a little more what you did? Which APIs did you use?
I did not do it myself. It was a tool that came with the audiovox phone card. It only works with that card.

PPTP on WM5

Can anyone connect to VPN (PPTP) using WM5 via wireless or GPRS?? When i use my old XDAIIi or II, i can connect by now using WM5 i cannot.
Hope those can connect please share. tks.
I can connect to a Windows 2000 PPTP VPN via wireless -- make sure that in Settings/Network Cards/Network Adapters, your network card is set to connect to the Work network.
Also, in Settings/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks, make sure that the lower droplist (private network) is configured to use the Work network.
Aside from those two items, I can't think of any other gotchas.
Ya still doesn't work......
do you know what the vpn device is that you are trying to connect to?
windows servers tend to be quite reliable. there are known issues with some checkpoint and cisco devices.
Hello,
I am having the same problem! I cant connect via VPN (PPTP) to my Windows Server 2003 RAS setup. It works perfectly fine on my laptop over the internet but when I try to connect using my Cinguar 8125 I get a generic "Invalid username/password' kind of error message. I have tried several differnt things, but I was wondering if there are security settings that are turned off or something like that? I actually have my RAS policy to let any device establish a VPN connection (obviously as long as it is authenticated) so I dont know what to do next... any suggestions??

For me works fine. I have only 2 connections:
a) my isp, with gprs configuration for vodafone
b) my work network, with the vpn connection definition (ip address, user, passw and domain)
I have it set up the same way and I still get the password issue... what kind of policies do you have in RAS?

did you uncheck the security in the connection with the server?
take care with the name user, times exchange get crazy: server/user or only user name for the user field...

Hi! I am not an Network expert at all, but here in Norway with one teleoperator we have to use a special access point name on My Work Network connection to get a public IP-address so Network accepts the connection. Perhaps nothing to do with your problem, but also we experience a lot of PDA users having no problem with pre-WM5 devices and much problems with WM5 devices and VPN

8125 wifi (please help)

Hi,
I just purchased the htc 8125 from cingular at full retail WITHOUT a plan
for use on my trips to Hong Kong using my sim card from a Hong Kong
provider.
While in the USA I would like to use the 8125 to access the internet without
a sim card installed and without cingular service. Wifi does recognize available
networks but I cant open any web pages.
Can you please tell me how to configure the phone to do this. I believe it is
by default programmed to use cingular's access services but I want to configure it to work as a stand alone device similar to a laptop looking for wifi signals to connect to the web.
Please help! Thank you.
David
WiFi is not configured to be used with anything of cingular...WiFi is a standalone feature in the PDA...the reason that you couldn't see a web page could possibly mean that the network you connected to had a WEP encryption...u must connect to an open network in order for it to work...
try this
I have been having problems with my wifi too...the only way that I can get it to work is to say the wifi connects to 'work' and to say that programs connecting to the internet should connect using 'My Work Network'
Turn on your WiFi
Start->Settings->'Connections' tab->WiFi or Network Cards->tap the network you want to use->under 'connects to:' chose: 'Work'->next->next->finish->ok
Start->Settings->'Connections' tab-> Connections->'Advanced' tab->programs connecting to the internet should connect using: 'My Work Network'->ok
hope this will work for you and if anyone knows how I can get around having to change this every time I want to go from GPRS to WiFi I would be much appreciated.
Haha - I just found it...someone else just posted it
