Hello Everyone. i have a pc that is hooked up on a LAN that gets net access via VPN on a local host. My PPC (XDA2i) on 2003 se is connected to my pc via Bluetooth on a PAN. so what i need is for the PPC to be able to access the LAN so it can connect to the host computer via VPN for net access... i tried 2 different apoproaches.
#1 I bridged the 2 connections (PAN and LAN) under the same Subgroup as the host. eg : 192.168.0.xx , Host = 192.168.0.1 . problem is the pc is unable to ping the PPC and vice versa. so if they are unable to ping what more establish a VPN connection. strangely, the pc is able to access the LAN, but the ppc isn't.
#2 I tried using XP's ICS. I enabled all the forwarding settings and assigned the PAN a different subgroup IP (192.168.1.xx). VOILA !!! the ppc is able to ping the host (192.168.0.1) I'm assuming the pc is forwarding ping packets to the ppc. but the pc acting as a NAT doesnt help solve my problem. weirdly, the ppc is unable to establish a VPN connection.
the type of VPN is unsecure uncrypted PPTP.
thanks everyone in advance
I'm trying to connect my Qtek 9100 to our company network using the Qtek built in VPN software. We don't have a Win 2003 Server but I would think you still could be able to connect with VPN.
(We have Win 2000 Server)
What I would like to do is to connect to the VPN and the send/recieve emails like any other laptop connected through VPN. I don't looking for the PUSH email function, but just the ordinary send/recieve function.
Question: Is it possible and if so -how - to connect my Qtek to our company LAN using GPRS and VPN?
Is there some third part company that have any CPN client to install that might work?
Thanks,
Daniel
Hi,
I am trying unsuccessfully to connect to a PPTP VPN using the VPN client built into my new HTC TyTN II.
Wifi - I can connect using a WinXP SP2 laptop using wifi through my home linksys wireless router (which has PPTP passthrough enabled) using the standard Win XP vpn client. When I try with my TyTN II, I can browse ok but if I set up a VPN connection I get "VPN server problems. Verify your username and password, etc"
GPRS - If I try to connect over GPRS, I connect to Orange GPRS but when it tries to connect to the IP address of my VPN server, I get the same VPN server problem error message. (As a side issue, I asked Orange to enable my account for vpn which they did, sent a SIM update and told me to change my apn to 'internetvpn' instead of 'orangeinternet')
As I can connect through my wifi connected laptop, it seems to point to my WM6 vpn client but my forum searches suggest that the WM6 client works ok. Oh, and yes, I have checked that I am using the correct vpn username and password!
Any thoughts greatly appreciated - the ability to maintain some linux servers was my main reason for getting this phone!

Bump!!! Same problem here. I have all the proper ports open on my router and still no luck.
I've been trying to resolve this with the people that manage my vpn server which is my case is a Watchguard firewall - apparantly Watchguard isn't compatable with PPTP on WM6 and they have suggested using IPSec and have provided me with a client (not that I've got that working yet either!)
I suggest you contact the vendor of your vpn server and ask them whether they are compatable and how a WM6 client should be configured. Post anything you find out here for the benefit of others.
WM6 don't connect to VPN over GPRS/ WiFi
Friends...
I have the same problem... the VPN server is Windows Server 2003... My PDA has WM6 (with in-build VPN client)... then VPN PPTP would work OK... but What is the wrong??
Regards...
I also could not connect on vpn over GPRS and got error message, but after I tested all installed programs I have found out that my SPB GPRS Monitor was the reason for the errors. So I killed it.
Now VPN over GPRS connects and looking into register I see that I am really connected i.e. I got DNS server IP, I got name of the local network and dynamic IP for my HTC, but nothing works. As I have found out from server guys they see me but my dynamic IP is not logged in server DNS, so no program sees me and I can not work.
Can somebody help?
Same
I have a similar problem but the difference is that i don't even receive an error message. When i click connect NOTHING happens!! The wifi i am using is an open network but I must connect to vpn to connect to the internet.
Please help as i really need to get this working...
I have been trying to iron this out with IT at my office as well. I have been trying to get WM6.1 VPN working for nearly a year.
I have a TyTnII and my IT office just bought some kind of WM6.1 Motorola/Sprint Smartphone as well which they actually asked me about setting up for them.
The problem what I am experiencing is that I CAN connect to the VPN server (I use one of the TaskMan progs that has ipconfig built it, and I am getting an appropriate IP from the VPN server). BUT I can't browse ANY intranet sites via PIE or Opera Mobile 9.5. Whenever I try to browse to an intranet site I just get nothing, browser does nothing for ~10min then gives timeout error.
I have heard that this has to do with an inbuilt error in the PPTP module of the VPN client that incorrectly makes VPN server requests using the IP address assigned by the GPRS/EDGE/3G/etc. connection rather than the IP address assigned by the VPN connection, obviously will cause problems!
Anyway, we are investigating 3rd part VPN clients...
Only IPSEC works
I also made many tries to get vpn working over BT PAN profile.
The only configuration which worked for my was IPSEC with the Safenet SoftRemote-LT Client on PC.
With the windows native pptp based vpn does not work .
I got the error code 721 what means that the GRE protocol (frame type 47 on port 1721) does not pass through. This seems to be the the real problem of the packet filtering components of the WM device. The problem is not related to bluetooth or PAN Driver, because it behaves in the same way if you try to do it over USB port. No way.
You guys might want to check out my post about getting my PPTP VPN working and actually syncing ActiveSync on a fixed schedule regularly over VPN.

Getting what you want to work over VPN requires work URL Exceptions so that the traffice is properly routed.

Watchguard does support PPTP, your IT guys just need to configure it. As for IPSec which would be awesome because there is an app call Greenbow that will connect you over 3G doesn't work with Watchguard. You can only connect using their own client for it which needs a license and isn't support on Windows Mobile. They got a hate email from me for that crap.
Hi!
I have a client with a PC <--> PPC app. The pc-app is running on vista and communicates with the device via activesync and TCP/IP, but it won't connect because the ip is invalid. Netstat (and the app) shows ip 127.0.0.1. I guess this is the problem. The device is usb connected running wm6.1.
Any help appreciated
Nicholas

vista don't use activesync
I'm sorry. I did mean Windows Mobile Device Center!

it's not 100% clear from your question what
the user is trying to do
but if it's using some program to access the network from the pc
it could be that you have to
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
and choose ny home network or my work network or whatever the non
gprs connecting is named on that device
if that dont fix it it could be a problem on the pc's side where it maybe blocking the traffic or not being setup to grant hdcp ip to the device
OK, thanks for your reply!
Just to clarify: The PC app is the client and the PCC-app is a TCP-server.
The PC is trying to get the device ip, but it turns out to be 127.0.0.1 instead of the actual ip (I have 169.254.2.2). That's the issue.
Hi
Could anyone tell me how to set the HD and PC such that the HD can make use the internet connection via PC during in Active Sync.
settings->connections->connections->advanced-select network
pick my home network in the dropdownbox or whatever the non isp
network connection is called on your device
in settings->connections->usb to pc make sure
Enable advanced network func is checked if you use usb
and if it don't work your firewall is most likely blocking it
Some stranges, I can connect to Internet at Home's PC but I can't connect at Office's PC. My Office PC set proxy server to browsing internet.

As stated by Rudegar above, you'll probably find that your work has a firewall set up so you are unable to access internet through your phone using usb cable.
Is it possible to by-pass the firewall setting at PC or proxy server?

You would need the access codes from your IT department
