Hi,
Im experiencing trouble accessing www.haltonvpn.co.uk through my Vodafone v1640.
This links to our CSG box to allow me access to a Citrix session through terminal services.
The link works fine through my XDA using GPRS, but i get a white screen on the universal.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance,
Ok,
After lengthy discussions with our account manager at Vodafone, it would seem that the standard IE browser that ship has some faults accessing Https:// sites (such as internet banking). Obviously this isnt acceptable for what we need!
I'll let this board know when the faults are resolved. Hopefully i may be able to post a flash which fixes these problems.
I have installed netfront browserwhich seems to aleviate some of the problems, but it is still definitely no where near useable!
I'll let you know how i get on.
why you do not install the ICA client for winCE?
- You have to download the newest version in english provided from Citrix
- don't forget the installation of your certificate on the pda
- configure your WinCE-ICA-client like the Win32-ICA
This is a well running solution for me and my colleagues! OK it's not really easy to configure the client, but your admins will assist you!

CU at Citrix Summit in Orlando!
I tried that today, but couldnt access the link to our external facing Citrix Secure Gateway because its a Https:// site!

hi Mike,
this should not be a problem! The CSG beyond the IIS is the point! And you're able to configure the ICA-client to use https! How i mentioned above, the configuring of the client isn't simple.
Perhaps some steps to configure the WinCE client!
1) don't forget the certifiate, suggest you've installed the client
2) create a new connection (the next points are reachable at creation or with button edit)
3) goto edit firewall settings, enter the FQN URL from the csg and the port, per default it's 443
4) goto edit options, session reliability MUST be turned OFF - this is really important because of the actual csg DON'T support this feature
5) goto server settings:
-select protocol SSL/TLS+HTTPS
-enter the INTERNAL FQN URL of a internal citrix server, it is really important to enter the complete FQN URL = DNS name
-now you should be able to refresh the servers-list also the PA-List, if you're not: enter the server-name or the PA-name manually
ready steady go!
hope you understand all the it-stuff, if not: write a new post

We have it working
It seems that you cannot even access the Page
This means you need to install the certificate
Login and you will see the Icons irrespective of whether you have the Client or not You will just be able to download the ICA files instead of launching it
The ICA Installation put some files in \windows\startup that needs to be removed
Further almost no Config should be done on the Client side
PIE and Opera 8.50 works
get used to squinting and working in akward places!!!! 8)
Regards Frikkie
I tried accessing the Page and can get to the login screen - I see that you are using a Public CA , so the certificate are already trusted. If the problem is further on , it might be that you are accessing the access center which uses activeX controls not supported by WinCE,
We got around that by makng a seperate Page for PDA that only uses CSG and not access center
Hope this helps - let us know exactly where you get stuck!
Regards
Frikkie
I cant even access the link www.haltonvpn.co.uk
Whenever i enter this link i just get a blank white screen on the V1640.
It works fine on my XDA but not on the V1640.
Vodafone told me that they couldnt help me and that QTEK couldnt help either as we havent bought 50 devices!
Any thoughts would be most useful
Like many other people, my carrier filters all my GPRS through their HTTP Proxy.
- POP/SMTP email can't be polled
- Windows Live Messenger won't connect
- Streaming whatever is obviously impossible
- Whatever other network you want won't work
- All you can do is browse web pages and update RSS news
I wrote a very unpopular thread in the past about how to bypass your carrier's GPRS Proxy server
in order to access blocked ports for emails & other services. It was unpopular probably because
it only worked on a PC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314757
Now I made it work ON your phone.
Basic Guide - This post
Tip to autoload everything once setup - Bottom of first post
Make a SSH server - Second Post
Setup your email settings - Third Post
~~~~~~STEP BY STEP GUIDE ~~~~~~~~~~
1 - Setup a SSH server to listen to port 443. Port 443 being opened to the internet OBVIOUSLy.
Linux users will have no issue with this.
However, Windows XP users need to install a SSH server, so please see my second post for how to do this.
2 - Download Pocketputty for your phone
3 - In your phone, go to: settings / system / About / Device ID (tab) | Write something unique, but in a single word, such as your username.
4 - Go in Settings / Connections / Connections / Advanced / Select Networks | Select "My Work Network" for both options.
It might not be named "My work Network" but it has to be the network which you can add a proxy server to the settings.
5 - Add your GPRS information for the "My Work Network".
6 - Go to "Edit my proxy server"
7 - Check the two boxes in proxy settings, then click on "Advanced"
HTTP : add your carrier's HTTP proxy address. Pocket IE cannot work any other way.
WAP : Useless (unless you NEED this working, add your carrier's proxy, or the same information SOCKS proxy under)
Secure WAP : useless
SOCKS : write your phone's "about" name from step 2, port is 1080
8 - Click Ok,Ok,Ok etc until you get back to "today"
9 - Load PocketPutty
TAB - Session
Hostname : your SSH server's external IP address
Port : 443
TAB - Tunnel
Source : 1080
Destination : (nothing)
Check circle "Dynamic"
Click Add (top right)
Go back to Tab - Session
Stored Session : proxy
Click Save
Click Cancel
10 - Use a registry editor & Edit the following Values (MAKE SURE IT IS DECIMAL VALUES)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER / SOFTWARE / SIMONTATHAM / PUTTY / SESSIONS / PROXY
LocalPortAcceptAll = 1
ProxyHost = (your cellphone carrier's HTTP proxy server)
ProxyPort = (Your cellphone carrier's HTTP Proxy server port, should be 80 or 8080)
ProxyMethod = 3
RemoteCommand = top
12 - Initiate a GPRS connection (Settings / Connections / Connections / Manage Existing Connections /
Select your GPRS connection, Tap & hold, click on connect)
13 - Load Putty
14 - Load settion "Proxy"
15 - Click Open & A black terminal window will appear
16 - go back to the "today" screen as soon as possible (it's the only way it will connect, while in the background,
I think it's a bug or something)
17 - Wait a few seconds, suddenly a window will appear asking you if you wish to save an encryption key. Click yes
(note : this will only happen on the first time you connect)
18 - Go back into Putty (DO NOT LOAD A NEW PUTTY WINDOW, use the task manager to bring back the ongoing session)
19 - It should ask your username then password, fill in the obvious information requirements.
20 - Once you are logged into your SSH server, type "top" and press enter, it will allow you to keep your connection alive.
21 - Go back to the "Today" screen and try loading Windows Live Messenger, for the first time, while using the proxy, it should connect!
~~~~~~TIP~~~~~
With Total Command, you can make a shortcut that will load putty and log you in AUTOMATICALLY
Find Putty.exe
Click on File, then >>>>>>>>>>>>> (A) >
Create Shortcut
Place it in \windows\start menu\programs\
Then browse to that folder with total command
find Putty.exe.ink
Tap/Hold and open properties
tab SHORTCUT
Assuming putty.exe is located in "\" write this in target:
\PUTTY.EXE" -load proxy -l yourusername -pw yourpassword
Then click on ok, tadaa, simply start up Putty fro that shortcut and go back to the today screen.
It will log you on automatically without your intervention.
You still need to initate a GPRS connection first though.

19 - You should then see something like [email protected]:
20 - Success, you have a running SSH server for your phone to connect to.
Notice - Make sure that if your Windows machine is behind a router or firewall, that the port 443 is
forwarded to your computer. Otherwise, nobody on the internet would be able to connect to your
SSH server on port 443, including your phone.
POP/SMTP EMAIL SERVER ACCESS
Im going to write an example for using GMAIL. You can guess the rest for different services.
1 - Load your Proxy session, but dont connect yet.
2 - Go to the Tunnel tab
Local : 35553 (or any big unused port number)
Remote : pop.googlemail.com:993
Select "local"
Click add
Again
Local : 35554 (different from above)
Remote : smtp.googlemail.com:465
Click add
Go back to session and save the new settings
Now connect to your SSH server
Go to your Messaging
Add a new Email account
Email address : [email protected]
UNCHECK : Try to get your email settings directly from the internet
Select Provider : Internet Email
Fill everything yourself until "Incoming Mail Server"
Incoming mail server : alkizmotytn:35553 (that's MY PHONE's name, type in YOURS!!!)
Account type : pop3
Enter your gmail username & password
Outgoing Mail Server : alkizmotytn:35554 (dont be an idiot)
Check box : Outgoing server requires authentification
Click "Advanced Settings"
Check box : Require SSL for incoming
Check Box : Require SSL for outgoing
Network Connections : Work
It should be able to download/send emails now, while using Putty.
ok, so I can connect but when it does it says
Fatal error....
in the terminal it says
Bash: Top: Command not found
BTW! Thanks for this, If this works your my hero. If not well. Your still my hero. lol
Ohhh I know exactly what's wrong.
Here's how to fix it :
1 - Run "setup.exe" that you downloaded from cygwin
2 - Repeat the same steps of installation (you'll notice, it's taking your previous settings already)
3 - Find "Procps" package, click on "skip" just like you did with OpenSSH, Zlib, etc.
4 - Click next, and it will install "procps" on top of your SSH server.
5 - Reconnect, TOP will now work.
Here's WHY this happened
"top" command is a command that is sent automatically. It is added in Step 10.
"top" is ALWAYS part of a Linux system, but aparently not for the SSH server for windows.
I didnt think to check this since I run a small linux server.
now it should work
GOOD NEWS THOUGH : YOU HAVE PASSED THE HARDEST PART! TOP WAS A TINY ISSUE!!!
edit - I edited the SSH Server setup to include "procps" in the package installation list. I hope people read this thread. This is a major improvement for those stuck behind a HTTP proxy.
~~~~~~ TO RUN A SSH SERVER WITHOUT A COMPUTER ~~~~~~~
If you dont like the idea of running a PC 24/7 at home, you can turn your wireless router into a SSH server.
Look at the hardware list here
http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware
If your router's model number and revision has "SUPPORTED" under status, you might just be in luck!!!
You can install a linux based firmware operating system on your wireless router. It will replace your router's OS completely with a MUCH MUCH more powerful one.
I recommend X-WRT since it is VERY userfriendly
http://x-wrt.org/
But OpenWRT is good for advanced linux users
http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Installing
There's also DD-WRT for the complete n00b
http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/index.php
All of them, once installed, have a SSH server right out of the box.
So your server is your router.
Thanks, I will try this.

I'd recommend a Linksys WRT54GL if you are going to dish out the cash for a new router. Might as well buy a POWERFUL router. The WRT54GL can be overclocked to 250mhz (mine runs at 262mhz stable) and you can mod it to add a flash SD card to it to expand the memory to install OTHER applications.
You can run a small HTTP server with 1-2GB of storage with the SD mod.
I run an Asterisk VoIP server + HTTP + the SSH tunnel thing + router can become a relay access point (the router is a WIFI CLIENT!!) and a bunch of other linux applications.
WRT54G and WRT54GS are good too, but you need to find an older revision number.
FON routers are... meh...
edit - Im out for the night, Ill check back in the morning for questions and problems.
PLEASE READ!!!!
I forgot a VERY important registry setting for PocketPutty in Step 10
LocalPortAcceptAll = 1
VERY IMPORTANT!!!! ok?
sorry for the mistakes
Me no Likey SSH
Hmm SSH server has given me lots of trouble. I think I would rather use an HTTP proxy if this made things work.
Nothing really works, and my internet connection is messed up when I use the SSH server.
I won't give up though. THIS IS A GREAT GUIDE.
If this is the way to kick T-Mo's Butt, I'm going to drive this into the ground!
Please try this, and post your results.
Alkizmo and I will hopefully get time to get this to work.
More Alkizmo than I, I'll be the guinea pig
almost working... help please ^^
Alkizmo thanks for the great guide!
I got almost everything to work.. but I guess there's something still missing..
Pocketputty correctly connects to the SSH server with the correct tunnel settings (checked many times). Registry settings for Pocketputty are set correctly as well (also checked..). By the way, Pocketputty doesn't seem to know how to start EDGE/GPRS connection on demand, so I either manually connect, or start Opera browser and go to a random website to start the connection.
The proxy settings changed under the T-Mobile Data network, with HTTP proxy pointing to the T-Mobile well-known proxy server, and the SOCKS proxy (tried both SOCKS4 and SOCKS5) pointing to the localhost:1080 (tried 127.0.0.1, tried the id of the phone).
No luck... Windows Live Messenger still cannot connect.
Let's try to find out the missing piece!
Thank you!
p.s. using AT&T Tilt, with Dutty's hybrid ROM.
sorry for the late reply. It's been a while since i've roamed these forums.
So, you should try the SSH tunnel on another computer with the PC version of Putty and see if you can tunnel through sock4, so you can eliminate the server as a fault.
Second, you can do another test to see if it's pocketputty's fault or T-Mobile's proxy being very strange.
You test it by changing pocketputty's proxy settings to be very specific with a pop3 email server as explained in the guide. Then create a pop3 email account on your phone to connect through the pocketputty proxy.
If that doesnt work, then im thinking that there's something else at work to prevent you from tunneling. I had someone else with t-mobile that couldnt SSH tunnel for some reason.
I found your MISTAKE mmoroz!
You enter in the SOCKS proxy - localhost:1080
however, as specified in the step #3, you have to first give a unique ID name to your phone. Name it : mmoroz
Settings / System / About / Device ID / Device Name : mmoroz
THEN in SOCKS proxy, you enter - mmoroz:1080
WM5/6 dont seem to understand localhost or 127.0.0.1, that's why you got to specify your phone's Device ID as the localhost address.
windows live mail on windows mobile
Does windows live mail (hotmail) works with this method? The instruction looks complicated, but I'm willing to do it if it works with live mail with push feature. By the way, do I need static ip address for the server?
Thank a lot! This is a great guide!

Hotmail push email will work. The moment you're connected to messenger, all the other services will follow.
You dont need a static IP, but you'd need to have a system to either update your DNS address with your new IP every time, or manually change it yourself.
I got a dynamic IP, but since im on broadband, the connection is active all the time, so my IP pretty much never changes.

Thanks A LOT! I'm working hard to get this work (no xbox for past 48 hrs). I'm using dd-wrt router to do the SSH server, but i have to change my verizon router to bridge mode first & i'm still trying to change it. Anyway, i will keep you update w/ my progress.
Guys, I STRONGLY recommend you setup a TEMPORARY SSH server before making all this effort to setup a permanent one. You can do this on your computer directly connected to the internet.
You should TEST with your phone BEFORE making a permanent server. That way, if your carrier blocks something special prevent SSH access, then you wouldn't have wasted your time setting up the server.
problems!
Hi,
I set up a SSH server on my Buffalo router with DD-WRT firmware. Instead of just use password, I used a private key for SSH server authorization. I did load/save the private on to the client on my phone. I got this error msg. on my phone when I try to connect to the SSH server.
PuTTY Fatal Error
"Server unexpectedly closed network connection"
I check the firewall log on the router, it confirmed that it accepted the connection from my phone. I did double check the IP address of the phone and confirmed that it's the same IP address from log:
Source IP------Protocol------Destination Port Number-----Rule
66.94.XX.XX------TCP ---------------------https------Accepted
By the way, I'm using T-Mobile USA service. Please see the attached picture for the SSH setting on my router (I did exactly as show on the picture, but I copied the pic from the web). I also enabled SSH remove management on my router.
I have been reading a lot of information regarding SSH. I can't figure out the problems yet. Please offer any suggestions.

I wouldn't suggest leaving any router, whether it be DD-WRT, OpenWRT or etc... open to SSH for an extended period of time... you're going to open up a bad can of worms security-wise. It's cool to do it for a short amount of time for testing, but when your done... close the hole and shut it down

You're not using port 443. You need to use port 443, that's one of the only ports opened by the T-Mobile proxy.
Also, im not sure if SSHD will work with my trick. I only tested with SSH

Make the password extra extra long and block your router from responding to ping requests and you'll be fine. SSH is a very very very secure protocol.
Is there such a thing?
Im using unlimited internet plan for port 80 which means i can surf over the net for html pages with no additional charge.
Now my question is if theres a messenger that uses that port so i dont must wifi or data plan to use it?
Thanks.
eran.
im not sure but you could try ebuddy, or any other html based messenger
if you have access to a vpn, ssh-server or a proxy server you can tunnel your connection through them which is supported by almost every mobile messenger client.
hi,
use open vpn, a good solution to create and use a tunnel via your pc connection, than your pc will be the server that you can connect on with your 3g+ connection.
i tried that today with success, and used msn messenger and push mail, all with my wap Sfr connection, that use the port 80.
use google for research, and send a message if you need help....i'll try even if my english is not perfect....but think i can help.

i'd be glad if you explain it here shortly,
it will be available for the rest of the guys either
you can use a simple ssh server for tunneling, too. that's more simple than the configuration of a whole vpn.
First you have to have con trol over such a server (I use a vserver of mine), than have the server listen on not only the ssh port but also a http one(if you have a webserver too running in the ssh server host, you maybe can't useport 80, but luckily my provider has also port 8080 open, because it is often used for http proxies).
now download pocketputty from the internet.
in the session tab enter yout servers ip and choose ssh, but change the port to 8080.
now go to the tunnel tab (as there are many tabs, maybe you cant see it at first, but it's there).
now you enter a free port on your mobile in the source field (I use 50 for example), the destination is the ip of your ssh server, and check dynamic. now click add.
then change back to the session tab, give you settings a name in the field stored sessions and klick save.
now the settings are stored and you can start the connection by double klicken on the name of your session that is now listed unter (Default Settings) in the sessions list.
The ssh connection will open and you will to have to log you into the ssh server, with a user (the name is not important, and it needn't to be the super user ;-) ), that has a shell.
when you're logged in open your mobile icq client. now go to the proxy settings of it and choose socks as proxy server type, the proxy address is localhost and the port the one you chose in the source field in the ppcoektputty tunnel tab. (so putty is your local socks proxy server).
now you should be able to connect thorugh the ssh tunnel to icq.
if you use your mobile sionmetimes as modem for a laptop, the trick works very similiar with the normal putty and a non mobile windows ;-)

The ssh connection will open and you will to have to log you into the ssh server, with a user (the name is not important, and it needn't to be the super user ;-) ), that has a shell.
when you're logged in open your mobile icq client. now go to the proxy settings of it and choose socks as proxy server type, the proxy address is localhost and the port the one you chose in the source field in the ppcoektputty tunnel tab. (so putty is your local socks proxy server).
now you should be able to connect thorugh the ssh tunnel to icq.
if you use your mobile sionmetimes as modem for a laptop, the trick works very similiar with the normal putty and a non mobile windows ;-)

I really got lost...
I couldnt find application for ssh server which i understand how to work with..
i wouldnt mind some help...
first you need a server in the internet for that, because you need an endpoint for the ssh connection.
as i said i have a linux server under my control. if you don't have an internet server or access to one with a ssh account, which I doubt reading your post, this solution isn't maybe the best for you, because have such a server costs about 8-10 euro or dollars a month, and as I need it for other things to, this costs are ok for me.
an alternative maybe would be an vpn account by a vpn provider which costs less, but then the way to get it to work is a bit differnet.
I just thought I could set up such a server on my own computer...if possible.
I did understand i can do that, but i didnt understand how
Nevermind, I will try other solutions..
thanks
hmm, this would be possible, but your computer would have to be reachable under a fest address from the internet (which oculd be done using dyndns). Are you using windows or linux in your machine?
Usually my computer is online all the time, so it wouldnt be a problem
And using a dynamic hostname with dyndns is what I thought about at first place.
my pc is running windows

Thank you for your help.
I used that guide and Im not sure about the last stage, when creating the client.ovpn file,
in the line 'remote' - i leave it xx.xx.xx.xx ? They didnt mention different...
And after that, How do I config the vpn connection on my mobile? I need a step by step in this stage because I dont want extra-charging....
Thanks

instead of XX.xx.xx.xx you must fill your internet IP thaht you can see here http://www.ip-adress.com/, and may be you have to change port to 443 instead of 80 in config files....that works with me,dont forget port forwarding in your router if you have one, mens you have to redirect incoming connection on port 80, and 443 to the pc that have openvpn.
but first of all you have to make your server work on the pc, some times you have to kill openvpn activites making CTRL+ALT+Del, to make open vpn GUi work and the vpn connect....see for next episode.
Ok,
im kind of stuck again....
I configured the vpn program and did everything by the guide,
Now i need to add a vpn connection to my regular 3g settings?
I did that, with my IP address, and it asks for user and password
i assumed its tcp-client like in the config file,
and password one of the keys in key.txt file..
but it doesnt work.
or i didnt do it right.

So, when you launch open vpn on your PC, with the GUI (the incon of open vpn on the bureau), do you have the little yellow incon down right your pc screen and a message of connection success....you must first of all secceed to make your vpn work...after for the pocket pc its really nothing.....
PS: the client config must be in the config folder of your ppc with the key....personnally i made a copy of the key in the base folder of the device cause sometimes the key is not detected in the config folder.
and important to set your connection on "my work network" not wap in the avanced connections configuration.....but tell you make a seccessful vpn connection first and for the ppc its will be a joke...

Ok, i feel like it comes to an end...
the vpn server on my pc is working, the application openvpn.exe is running in the background and i do have that network enabled and running.
I found and installed open vpn for ppc,
its a bit annoying it cant run on a window and that its running on the background screen, meaning my touchflow (im using htc diamond) is hiding it, so i need to disable the touchflow when i need to configure the app.
(maybe solutions?)
now i need to copy the configuration files and the key file i have in the config folder of the computer to the ppc folder?
And what next?
Thanks

Some univeristies use a WLan called EduROAM.
http://www.eduroam.org/
But somehow HTC HD2 cant connect to it.Seems like a personal certificate is the problem.
Has anyone got this working on HD2 ?
It works on Nokia phones running Windows mobile 6.5
you need to download one of the latest version of securew2 client from your uni website or the developer's website. follow instruction to set up the connection given by your uni IT department.
I'm using eduroam connection now in UCL.
Thanks for your answer.
I downloaded securew2
But I still cant get it to work.
Do you have to provide this information on your campus ?
SSID: eduroam
authentication: WPA2
kryptering: AES
EAP-typ: PEAP
authentication: MSCHAP v2
For me WPA1 works better, also AES is wrong. Then you select "Secure W2" in the drop down box not peap. SecureW2 needs to be configured as well. Your university should provide you with that info. You usually don't need the radius part with the cert! That's just to protect you from connecting to the wrong network (and thus giving them your password).
Above information about WPA2 is from my campus informationsite.
After I made some settings on "Eduroam connection" i cant change them.
As soon as push eduroam it tries to connect.
The only way to change them is to install a new rom, so that the phone is
like it was from the first time.

I took my mobile to my University's IT Department and they set it up for me and it works great, I get all of my student emails directly to my mobile. Hope this helps.

ROM version ?
In my case,
I download SecureW2 personal client 2.04 ce, install it on my phone via active sync.
Settings>Menu>All settings>Connection>Wifi>Wireless networks>Menu>Add new
and start configuring the settings. Different network will have different settings.
I don't think ROM version matters in this case. It should work with your device, if you got the right SecureW2 client and settings set up on your phone.
Btw, IT department or university's website should provide sufficient information for you to set up the connection.
Good luck.
The IT people cant get it to work......
They say that they cant get it to work on HD2.
Thats why I turned to you guys.
Still no luck, secureW2 keeps asking for user/pass, and yes I know its the right user/pass. A friend at work tried his username and it doesnt workl either.
If I connect to Eduroam on my pc it works, so nothing wrong with user/pass

You might need to get another version of secureW2 client.
I tried a secureW2 client provided by my uni and i faced the same problem as you. It kept on prompting me for username and password. I changed to another client (SecureW2_Personal_Client_204_CE), downloaded from SecureW2 forum, and it worked great!
During the installation of the client, registration is needed, i could register and install it couple of times on my phone without any problem. However, yesterday when i tried to reinstall the client after upgrading my ROM, the installation failed at the registration part. Maybe because they stop providing the free version?
I managed to get it installed on my phone again via activesync though.
Cant find that version.
I downloaded version SecureW2_Enterprise_Mobile_313_GA_TRIAL.exe
bump..
I still cant get it to work
http://www.chalmers.se/insidan/SV/arbetsredskap/it/bastjanster/eduroam
Chalmers University of Technology uses Thawte premium server certificate for authentication.
What you need to do is this, go to Thawtes website and download their certificates:
(Apparently I cannot post links, but just google for "thawte root certificate" the file is at www dot thawte dot com slash roots)
The certificate you need is located in the folder Thawte Roots\Thawte SSLWeb Server Roots\thawte Premium Server CA\Thawte Premium Server CA.cer
Download that to your HTC HD2 and install it by just clicking it in the file browser on your phone.
Then you can just follow the instructions you found at their webpage.
Hope this helps.

how to connect to EDUroam
Firstly, this refers to connecting an HTC android phone (specifically the HTC Desire, but what I get from the web is that they are all much the same, these HTC android interfaces).
The problem starts when an innocent user looks for a WiFi network and finds eduroam. It then asks for not particularly relevant password information and cannot connect because the configuration of the default network setup is wrong. If you try to get the phone to forget that network it appears to do so that when you reconnect it still assumes that the connection was correctly set up. In order to get it to forget their network properly you have to enter the wrong password several times so that the phone thinks you have illegally trying to access the network. It then completely forgets.
The network discovery procedure will again come up with EDUroam, and the configuration should follow the instructions on the following website from Oxford University: <search for android eduroam oxford in Google>
In fact the names given on the HTC desire setup are slightly different. The important thing is that the EAP type should be PEAP, and the secondary type should be MSCHAPv2.
You then enter the username which will be effectively your registered e-mail address at your own institution, and then use as a password the thing eduroam calls "network access token" (16 lower case alphabetic character password generated for you if you buy your institution on request.
You then connect up and miraculously you have the connection you wish!
You should check that the connection is mobile roaming capability on your phone and checking that you really do have Internet and e-mail access as you wish through the WiFi connection directly.
I have been looking for the SecureW2 Personal Client 2.0.4 for Windows CE package (original filename: "SecureW2_Personal_Client_204_CE.zip"). I have been unable to find it and the sources given in this thread no longer exist or are no longer available.
If anyone has the file, please provide it.
Hi,

Explorer tries to connect to the device on port 80. If there is no service running you can't connect I wonder what page is viewed connecting to localhost when running wm5
I'am developing a mobile application based on OpenMobileIS open source framwork, this techno use the internet explorer web browser for application interface : webserver includes in the framework. So for that I have to access my application throught the localhost on internet explorer or another mobile web browser.
im having a similar problem on a wm6.5 device.
I want to dynamically forward ports back to my device from a remote ssh server, and im having problems...
I think its to do with wm6.5 not having a concept of a localhost...
localhost 127.0.0.1 connect
hi,
im trying to get a webserver running on my WindowsPhone!!!
i wanna exchange data with my home server later if WLAN access exist.
i used WindowsPocketPC 2003 and all worked well... now i have 6.5 and nothing works...
ok i have find out:
You need to change the registry because there is no hosts File like WindowsXP has. Or you can use a tool for this "Pockethosts"!
(or try 127.0.0.1:80/index.php - 80 is port of your server and give full name of file)
and you need to have Internet access. (I tested it with WLAN internet over my Router)
---------
but im still dont get it to work without internet access
can some one help with this?
(Internet access to connect localhost LoL)

I know it's been a year but I had previously tested on a device with Windows Mobile 6.1 and worked locally without connection, but now I have a just got a Handheld Device with 6.5 and if there is not a connection. The local web server is not accesible and says: Cannot Connect: Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings.
I am using PocketHPH (Web server and simplified PHP engine with SQLite)
There is no place like 127.0.0.1 (home sweet home) !!
What happens if you install the Network Folder plug-in and NbstatCE ?
Nbtstat for the Pocket PC. Written in Embedded Visual C++. All versions of Windows CE have a file explorer which can not view windows shares easily. Nbtstat allows the user to view netbios shares on all IP addresses in a subnet.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nbtstatce/
Though I'm not running WM 6.5.x I'm curious if these both links help you out...
and
Did you forward a port on your router? Thus trying http://127.0.0.1 : portNumber (no spaces here, I typed it this way otherwise appears)
..
There are 65,536 ports which can be used, though every port below the 56,000 is for the industry; thus use a port above 56,000
The web server was on default port 9000, then changed it to port 80. Like I mentioned before, works fine if there IS a WiFi Connection, but once it is lost I can't connect to the local web server.
Don't worry try one of this browser skyfire or uzardwebp and let me know

Can't download Skyfire, cause it's not available in my area. Tried uzardwebp, but just won't connect to anything. Installed Opera 10 Mini and similar results with IE. If there is a Wifi Connection present the internal web server works great. Once there is no WiFi connection I get Network Problem message in opera.
