Wifi access to internet via ISA firewall

I've just set up a small wireless network at home through which I intend to use several devices to connect to the internet through my LAN!
The LAN gateway is running ISA 2004 and my home computer is running the necessary Firewall client (a completely secure connection with username and password)!
Now everything's working fine... the pocket pc hooks up just right and i can browse the network and do what I could probably do using my own personal computer BUT the internet doesn't work!
It keeps asking me for a username and password (which like i usually provide in internet explorer on my personal computer) which i do supply... three times in a row after which it gives me an error saying that ISA cannot authenticate me!
The home computer doesn;t run the internet without the firewall client, and i'm supposing the pocket pc is facing the same dilemma! is there any way to circumvent this issue? perhaps a mobile version of the isa firewall client?
Please help. Thanks!

afaik there isn't a mobile version of the firewall client.
I set my ISA server to allow anonymous internet access ,and set all my machines up as secure nat clients (set isa servers ip as default gateway, I use a dhcp scope to do this). There is lots of info on this on microsofts ISA server website, I'd suggest a look there first, or try a google for secure nat.
Good luck, works well for me but ymmv.

Use Terminal Services Client Over VPN

I would like to use the built-in terminal services client to connect to one of our servers using the GPRS/VPN connection I am able to establish.
The problem is as follows:
I can establish the GPRS/EDGE connection to the internet. I then connect to the VPN and it shows that both connections are connected and data is running over the connection. I can ping the servers IP address, but as soon as I try to connect through the TS Client, it disconnects the VPN.
Has anyone been able to get this to work?

Be sure that your terminal server name does not has dots in the name. WM5 thinks that any name with dots is from Internet, and any name without is the Intranet ("my work network"). So, if you try to connect, for example, to the server named trm.company.com, WM% decides it is on the Internet and drops МЗТ connection.
To fix it: go to "Settings" -> "Connections" -> "Advanced" tab -> "Exceptions..." button, and add the server name with dots to the "Work URL" list.
If it helps, please, let us know here.

Thanks.
I have tried you recommendations and now the VPN does not disconnect. I think their must be some security enabled on the terminal server as I still can't connect. I think it must be something to do with Citrix or the encryption level on the server. I will investigate further.

Can you explain me waht is Terminal Services Client? (Any screenshot?)
Can I use it with my Jamin and laptop with USB cable or WiFi?
Many thanks!

The terminal services client is an application which is included in the ROM of most PDA phones. It allows you to connect to a terminal server from you PDA much like you would normally do it from you workstation using Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop Client = Terminal Services Client
If you go to Start, Programs on your PDA you should see the application listed there.
You can either do one of the following to use the client.
1. Connect you Jamin to you PC using the USB. You will need to activate the Modem Link application. Dial the GPRS connection from the PC and then connect to the terminal server using Remote Desktop on you machine.
2. Open a GPRS connection on the PDA (Not Connected to the PC). Open the terminal services client on the PDA and connect to the terminal server.

Great!
The connection must be always GPRS? I'll pay for do this?
Have you some screenshot?

Relaxxx! If you don't know what is it - it means that you don't need it at all
To access aremote desktop you need any IP connectivity: GPRS, EDGE, WiFi, but the desktop you connect to is not a service It can be your home PC or your business server, but it is not a thing you can use as, for example, any web site.
You need to establish a server by yourself or got an account for your company IT guys. You will pay for IP traffic, of course...

I've checked out the remote desktop with Win2000 server, but without VPN, on the Active Sync connection, it is OK. Ensure that your server uses RDP protocol (Microsoft), not Citrix propiertary protocol.

Pocket explorer problem over VPN (GPRS)

Hi all,..
Maybe someone of you can help me with the following problem concerning VPN over GPRS.
I'm using the WM5 build in VPN client often, and seems to be working fine for the terminal application (Remote desktop).
Now I want to access shares and folders on the VPN server with my WM5 client (same server as the remote desktop server). When I set up a VPN connection with my universal to the Windows 2003 server, I cannot access shares and folders. When I try to connect to the remote desktop it goes fine.
On my laptop I can access the shares, but only on my Universal I cannot.
I think it must be something with a default gateway. There is an option on my XP laptop, which say's "use default gateway on remote network". But this option is not avalable on my universal. Is this the problem? how come I can access the remote desktop and not any shares?
(PS: When I connect internal through WiFi It works fine, only over GPRS-VPN is doesn't work)
Best regards,..
Arjan

no one?

I have not been able to get VPN to work over GPRS. How do you configure connections?

VPN to Nortel switch over GPRS (HSDPA), then Exchange/POP/IMAP over THAT VPN

Hello,
I want to connect to my Company's VPN and read my e-mails.
My Company uses a Nortel Contivity switch to which I successfully connected with Bluefire Mobile Security VPN v2.7.5, Build 706 (IKE=DES+MD5+DH1; IPsec=3DES+MD5+LZH+PFS; NAT traversal active), using a cellular HSDPA connection. Now comes the bad part: I cannot configure Outlook to use the Exchange server nor the IMAP or POP servers (I tried with Flexmail 4 but with the same results) - it always say that the servers are not accessible. As far as I could figure it out, it seems that after the tunneling is operational, Outlook or any other software still tries to access the internet through the cellular connection (I tried to traceroot some addresses and it ALWAYS goes through the cellular line (not the tunneled connection).
What would be the correct settings in my connection manager so I could access the my Company's Exchange / POP / IMAP servers after I setup the VPN manually with Bluefire?
Thanks a lot!

DO you work for VZ ?? i too would like to connect to my vpn network ... I spoke to our techsupport and advised that wasnt possible ...just for bllackberry ... which i found odd ... i would be interested tofind out how to also

Connecting to university through VPN with hybrid-authentication?

Hi, i'm using a HTC HD2 and would like to use the web when I'm at university.
The wireless network there is protected by Cisco VPN, using hybrid-authentication ("mutual group auth."), which means that both - certificate and group password login - are needed to connect.
I haven't found a WM6.5 VPN client yet, which can handle this kind of connection.
From the administrator i got two files, the rootcert and a .pcf file with connection informations.
I just tested bluefire VPN client, but it hasn't been able to connect.
Thanks, sorry for my bad/German English!
