VPN Client

I have the Contivity VPN client on my laptop which I use with a SecureId fob for access to my work e-mails.
Is there a version of this for my XDA Exec that would allow me to pull the e-mails back in to outlook?
Will software designed for WM2003 work on WM5?
Thanks

Are you ready for a useless answer? Here goes:
"Maybe :? "
Some WM2003 software will work fine, some will work with problems, some won't work at all.

Actually realised that I could do what I wanted to via activesync over 3g or gprs. Don't really need a VPN client after all and I guess that data transfer will be much lower than over a VPN connection. Am I right?

vpn client for wizard?

I recently purchased a tmobile mda and was trying to access my campus's network. But when I logged on, the only page I could view was about downloading a vpn client for multiple os's (but no windows mobile) to use the network.
Is there a vpn client for windows mobile?
Any help would be great.
Thanks!

There's a built-in client that will handle L2TP and PPTP VPNs. If you go into Settings/Connections and click "Edit my VPN servers" you can configure the client for your VPN. It's worth a try.

Tried that, didn't work... I decided to ask my University about their network, they said it was a cisco 3000 or something... And also informed me that "to their knowledge" the windows mobile 5 built in client isn't compatible...
I then went to the College of computer science help desk to see if some peers could help me. They said someone had bought a $100 program to be able to connect to the concentrator but didn't know who made it or where to get it.
Does anyone know of such a thing? Or a cheaper alternative?

AnthaVPN
I have found AnthaVPN wich is about from 40$ to 100$ depending what you need.
I'm trying also to open VPN without this IMHO too expensive solution. But if it's the only way - then I need to buy....
Maybe some kind of tunneling from own Linux-server (With Swan) might be the free solution....

I have been testing Bluefire Security's VPN and it works great, but my employer is using a Nortel system sio I cannot comment on the Cisco compatibility. It costs $79. I have also tries Antha but is cause problems enabling Wifi and Gprs.

Long time I could’t make connection with the built-in VPN client. After the latest ROM update from Qtek it works (I tested only PPTP). I can make VPN to SBS server and Windows XP. Also I can use Terminal Services true VPN connection.
The only thing I can’t get working is to access network shares (I tried GSFinder+ and NetUse).

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.

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.

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.

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?

Cisco VPN on HD2

Hello everybody, first of all sorry for my bad english!
I am thinking to buy an hd2, but i have a question.
At my work place, there is a WiFi network protected by Cisco VPN with a certificate and user-password autentication.
I would to connect with my hd2 with this network.
In Cisco VPN integrated in WM6.5 or i have to install a dedicated software? in this case, the software is free or i have tu buy it?
Another question: is WM6.5 multilanguage (localized in italian in particular) or only in english? If it is only in english is not a big problem, but, well if WM is localized in italian is better for me.
Thanks for reads and answers.

I don't think there is a built-in support for Cisco VPN client in WM. There isn't one even in "classic" windows. Only operating system that has built-in support for Cisco VPN client is MacOS X from version 10.6

I really spent more than 10 nights on that desperately trying to figure out how to make it work with SecurID RSA and Cisco VPN groupname authentication... Still nothing helped.

Why on earth did you lose that much time? When there is no built-in support in "regular" Windows for that, why would it be in WM?

If you are talking about Wifi by Cisco AP, it has nothing to do with VPN. The way enterprise authenticate user by Cisco AP is normally thru EAP-Fast which doesn't support by WM by default. If that's the case, install Juniper Odyssey for WM (not free but you can try it for 30 days) should solve your problem.

mate, there is no 64bit version of Cisco VPN Client for Vista and Windows 7, and you expect it to be for WM?

AnthaVPN...
But it doesn't work for me as we use groupname authentication at work and this is not supported with AnthaVPN...

I know, Verizon VZAM also supports it, but some parts

AnthaVPN or bluefire
I can connect to my office VPN (Cisco contentrator) with Bluefire VPN.
Some time ago I tried also AnthaVPN with success.
I had to make some (many..) experiments before the success.

for groupname auth you need to have root CA certificate installed on your computer/device
if the CA is Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services, then try to export the root CA from the web interface (it's usually http://computername/certsrv), and to install it on WM

Cisco Anyconnect
Cisco Anyconnect works with Windows Mobile / Vista (x64) / Windows 7 (x64). However requires additional licenses for ASA / Cisco Firewall.

WinCE client for AnyConnect works with WM? Didn't know that
Btw you don't need additional license for ASA afaik, you just need ASD 6.x and ASA 8.x
