Qtek 9090, Terminalserver problem.

I have a trouble connecting to a terminalserver when I am connected to Wlan. When using GPRS or GSM I can connect to my office server with no problem.
When using Wlan at home the server always times out. When I am on my work lan I get the question about adding a VPN or proxy. Since we do not use VPN or proxy I do not realy do not now what to do.
Are you not able to connetct to terminalserver via Wlan?
Best regard to all.

WM6 won't connect to PPTP VPN over gprs or wifi

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.

HTC Snap VPN from Laptop over ICS

Hi All,
I have a tough one to solve for a colleague..
He is wanting to use his HTC Snap (WM6.1) Data connection to allow his laptop to connect to office VPN(VPN client is on laptop).
ICS works great via USB for internet access only. The VPN subnet is the same 192.168.0.x subnet as the default IP assigned via ICS.
I changed the ICS DHCP assigned IP range to 192.168.10.x (via reg hacks) and internet works ok from Laptop still.
VPN connects successfully from laptop (Netgear Prosafe VPN client) and stays connected only I cannot access, ping or anything on the 192.168.0.x subnet through the VPN..
Internet continues to be accessible from laptop whilst VPN is 'connected'.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Cannot connect VPN through WiFi Router Program?

I love the connection of the HTC HD2 WiFi router option which allows me to seamlessly connect to the internet to browse, email, download and chatting.
However I have been unable to use VPN properly. I am talking about the Windows XP VPN feature where the host computer accepts incoming connections and the client computer connects accordingly.
The VPN connection connects fine, however I cannot browse shared drives nor connect to the network printer. I know this problem exists when prior to the HTC HD2 in normal Windows Mobile 6, I used to connect to Bluetooth PAN and it has this problem as well.
I assume that being a Router-like program, the HD2 would work just like a router.
Has any HD2 users in this forum had success with WinXP VPN using the HD2 WiFi Router program?

[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?
