tilt and vpn issues over edge - Networking

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?

Terminal Server/Remote Desktop connection over VPN?

I'm trying to connect to my server at work through the Jasjar's Terminal Services Client over a VPN and it's not working. The VPN connects and I can open up a web site on the server using an internal address, but the Terminal Services Client just times out. I can connect with the Terminal Services Client to other servers without using the VPN and I can connect through the VPN with a PC, so I don't know what's wrong. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Brett
are you using internal dns name or internal ip, if dns the ip should work and its cos your not internally resolving, i have this prob with when i vpn in to my server, dns does eventually resolve but ip is instant
Is the vpn terminal services restricted by IP address? Are you using gprs or wifi? If gprs maybe the ip range is not set up on the vpn??? If using gprs are you using the apn internet3.voicestream.com?
Sorry, I know, not much help. Mine seems to work
I'm trying to connect by IP address over wifi. The Jasjar does recognize that it should go over the VPN because it will automatically make the VPN connection when I try to start the TSC connection.
I'm glad to hear that it's working for you guys, though, so at least I know it's possible.
Thanks,

TSC/RDP
I am also having difficulty in this area and havent been able to resolve when using WIFI from my AP at home over ADSL to the Public IP address, then a TSC/RDP connection to the internal network IP address of our TS box.
I can easily get to the TS box via the WIFI AP at work directly, just not from the home AP. I can easily use the home AP for my home laptops to connect to work, so I know the systems at both end are up and operational.
In summary, I just dont know why the JJ doesnt VPN via the home AP over the ADSL to public IP to use the TSC to the internal IP of the TS box.
I just wanted to follow up on this. For some reason both of the servers I was trying to RDP into behind the firewall were in some wierd state and they weren't accepting any connections from anything but my desktop PC. I rebooted them today and that solved the problem I was having.
Thanks,
Brett

Has anyone got a VPN connection to work with a T Mobile MDA?

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)

VPN through 3G problem

I have problem with VPN connection to my privat network.
VPN connection works if I am on cable, wifi, but whan I am connected over 3G, HSDPA, than my connection works for about 5 seconds and than I hear sound from WM6 side that my 3G connection was broaken.
I can go to WM side and try with VPN connection there and it wont connect. But strange thing is, that if my VISTA is shutdown than I CAN connect with WM6 to my VPN server.
Please help if sombody had the same problem...
bye

I setup Hamachi yesterday on my Shift, on both the WM and Vista sides of the device and it worked perfectly. Of course, each "side" looks like a completely different node on the network, but it was really cool to remote desktop into my home and office machines from VM.

Which VPN client software and version are you using? Or is this window PPTP vpn?
I had some problems with Cisco VPN Dialer client and the pasword manager function of the finger print reading software. Once I turned off the password manger function both the VPN dialer and finger print reader are happy to coexist. ( issue might not be problem if you are not using a RSA fob like I have to)
I am using both on my shift Cisco VPN for work and the Windows PPTP connection to reach my home network. So I can confirm that they both work from Vista and that windows PPTP works from WM6.
Nothing special, just window PPTP vpn client. My internet connection works perpectly, but when I make a VPN connection, 3G just drops the line and than reconects when I disconnect VPN connection... But VPN is allways working for about 5 seconds, a few successful pings...
I just used the magic button FN+F3 and whn vista come up i have the same problem. That means that tre problem resides somewhere in WM part. I am still looking... The problem could be that my service provider and my contry are not on the shifts list, so there could be some connecion settings problems... On my other sony vaio the same data card and HSDPA connection and VPN works OK.
Now I am playing with WM side. I can establish VPN connection to my server, bat as soon as I try to send over some data it simply diskonects 3G connection and that establish it again, without VPN connection afcourse.
So my connection to VPN is working, but when I start internet explread try to conect to any web site, 3G connection restarts.
Any suggestions or somthing....

Hi.
Is there a fix to this? I am getting exactly the same problem. 3G works for surfing on vista and exchange push/browsing on WM side - As soon as I put a pptp VPN across to the work network, the 3G on the WM side drops, and if I am looking at m network connections in Vista, the "LOCAL AREA CONNECTION 2" network "card" disappears from network settings and the VPN stops.
If I disconnect the VPN, the 3G connection restores itself and I can browse again.
any help appreciated as I need pptp to work so I can ditch my laptop!

Have you tried going into the TCP/IP properties of the VPN connection, then 'Advanced' and removed the tick from 'use default gateway on remote network'. That fix the problem for me.

Yes, I did that, but then the internet works fine and the VPN and the 3G stay up okay, but everything seems to go to the local internet and nothing goes via the VPN tunnel.

Hi,
Probably you have to change the MTU settings in the Local Area Connection, here's the command:
netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Local Area Connection" mtu=1440 store=persistent
1440 is only a suggestion. If you low more the MTU you will notice a decrease in speed/bandwith but 1440 will be unnoticeable and will let VPN connections work.

Have you actually got a VPN session working? From what I can see, the problem is the way that the Vista side uses the modem.
If I do a route print from Vista with the VPN up, it doesn't add any routes, so sends all traffic to 192.168.160.1, which appears to be the IP of the modem/WM side of the device.
If I manually put in
ROUTE ADD 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 192.168.99.1
Which is the IP of the VPN router, all traffic gets routed out down the VPN and it works for about 5 minutes, then the "Local Area Connection" network card in Manage Networks, disappears. If I then drop the VPN (because strangely it stays up) the LAC card comes back...

I didn't tried to establish a VPN with my Shift, but I found this MTU problem with many GPRS and 3G connections when establishing VPN (PPTP and also IPSEC ones).
I don't see how to help you more, sorry

vista utilizes ICS from WM6 to get the connection. that's why you see 192.168.0.1
We had a similar problem with Cisco VPN Client constantly disconnecting when using 3G Cards. We use a Cisco ASA 5510.
One solution is to disable the Keep Alive function in the ASA for the specific VPN Profile.
Hope that helps!
Try your Networks VPN APN - it could be an IP conflict.
I tried cisco vpn client over hsdpa and it worked.
I still have problem connecting with microsoft PPTP client. After few seconds connection vista-wm just drops and comes back again when PPTP client disconects.
Problem is ICS from WM6 in my appinion...
Please help me

[Q] VPN over wifi Internet doesn't work for some reason

I am able to connect to my home router's PPTP VPN server from my Android phone's PPTP client. I can even see my remote LAN devices; and, my remote LAN devices can see my mobile phone on the LAN.
The problem is when I connect my phone to wifi Internet.... BEFORE connecting to my PPTP VPN server... I can't see the remote LAN; and, the remote LAN can't see my phone. The only thing I can do successfully is get a new public IP (my home Internet public IP).
What can I do so that I am able to use my local wifi Internet connection to connect to my VPN at home?
It might be a route problem.
When you connect to WiFi, some static routes are pushed to your phone.
Those routes might not be refreshed or conserved after a VPN connection.
If it is not a route problem it's a default gateway problem.
Yes, that's what I suspected. I already tried adding routes; specifying the gateway via command-line; however, I didn't have any luck; probably because I didn't know exactly what I was doing.
One thing I noticed; when I use my wifi internet hotspot, I noticed that it gets a private WAN IP.. 10.x.x.x; which then NATs to a temporary real public IP; which no connections instigated from the outside world can make it So, even if I do port-fowarding on my wifi hotspot router, it doesnt help any since the incoming connections are stopped dead in their tracks.
I'm using PPTP VPN; which depends on a TCP port 1723. If that TCP connection is instigated from my remote VPN server into my mobile Internet wifi hotspot based LAN devices, it wouldn't work for the same reason explained above. I didn't see a PPTP VPN passthrough option for my wifi hotspot; only for IPSEC; which I dont have a server for. I'm guessing that if I had a real-world public WAN IP for my mobile Internet hotspot, maybe I wouldn't have this problem for PPTP.??

First, are you talking about a free internet hotspot or from private internet hotspot (@work for example) ?
you'll never gonna get a public IP from your internet hotspot. 1-public-IP-for-1-client on a hotspot is just inconceivable, due to IPv4 exhaustion.
I think you only have to try to do port forwarding on your hotspot.
Your assumption "it doesnt help any since the incoming connections are stopped dead in their tracks" is wrong I guess. If your hotspot has a built-in firewall, it might be stateful. As you are initiating a connection to your server, the returned traffic flow shall be allowed.
If it doesn't work after port forwarding, try to look at firewall rules on your hotspot router.
Problem resolved.
My Verizon wireless hotspot (890L) doesn't support PPTP passthough. More specifically, PPTP's routing protocol: GRE (value 47). Verizon does offer another wireless hotspot that does offer support for PPTP; at least via a firmware update.
This issue actually pushed me to install and configure OpenVPN server on my router; instead of using the existing PPTP server which I already had. OpenVPN is fantastic is working through firewalls.
Great !
Yes, OpenVPN is a delight.
me too
I have the same problem,
but I usually change another ROM until there's no bugs

have you tried to configure the wi-fi gateway to match your vpn router?
settings / wireless & networks / wi-fi / long press your vpn connection / modify network / scroll to show advanced options / select static ip /scroll down to gateway and put the gate address in / save
I run a vpn through a 2 router setup, and even though my phone connects to the vpn router, its gateway by default is always the non-vpn router. changing the gateway to the vpn router allows the vpn to connect to the phone. you can verify the vpn connection by going to ip-score.
That why i can't see my phone using wifi in VPN network..
cant connect if theres no mobile data or load
Hi please help ..when i have load i see its connected..but if i have no load its not connecting please ..anyone can explain this?

New to VPN, need help if you have a momment

I have a simple home net using mostly windows vista and 7 computers, some printers, external hd servers for backup storage and cameras in a workgroup static ip setup behind an off the shelf router. i set one of the computers as the vpn server since i dont want to buy a dedicated hardware vpn in a vista ultimate machine thats on 24/7 anyway with an incomming server... with the correct ports forwarded from the router to the vpn host.
my remote vpn laptop connects to the vpn fine and can see the network resources, however, has no internet connection once the vpn is connected. do i have to set the host vpn computer to do some sort of its own dns assignments to the incomming connection? its set for dhcp so i dont know why it would assign a valid IP to an incomming but not any other info.
in other words, on my remote laptop, i can connect to a random wireless internet hotspot and have full internet access. I can then enable vpn and log in to my home network and see all the network resources, however if i try to use an internet browser, there appears to be no internet. if i disconnect the vpn, the internet resumes to work fine and obviously the vpn resources are no longer accessable.
what am i missing? under incomming connection properties general tab, "allow others to make private..." is checked, under users the correct user is selected along with "require all users to secure...", and under networking ipv4 "allow callers to access..." is checked, and assign ip auto using dhcp is checked so I would think it should be working fine at this point, however it doesn list anywhere a gateway or dns to assine to incomming connections, only ip's.
host vpn computer is vista ultimate with static ip behind a retail router also assigned a static ip via my home isp.
the remote laptop is running ubuntu 12. just for kicks and to rule out ubuntu causing some problem, i set my android phone up for vpn use via 4g network, and the same thing happens. connects vpn fine, has local resources, but loses internet.
i also was curious as to having a vpn log in for the existing user account on the vpn host machine... in other words, should i just add the username on the host computer as a vpn client, and log in vpn using those credentials? and will that even work if that account is logged in, or will i have to remember to log out when im on the road to use the vpn connection.
thanks all!
