I'm trying to establish a VPN (PPTP) connection to my office via GPRS, without any success. When I click to activate the VPN connection, a GPRS connection is established, then it tries to connect to the VPN address (203.xxx.xxx.xxx), after about 30 secs it comes up with the following message:
"VPN server problems. Verify your username and password, and try again. If the problem continues, turn the device off and try again."
I've turned the device off and tried again, to no avail.
I've also done a search on the forum and notice some users having similar problems but no solution has been posted yet. So this is a bump for all of us who are having this VPN probs.... BUMP!
Hi,
I am facing the same problem. Initially, I thought that my Telco was blocking VPN traffic. I have tried on two different telco network and none worked. Has anyone got VPN working before? If so how? FYI, I am trying to VPN into an MS ISA box running PPTP CHAP2. My VPN is working because user on landline dailup or broadband can get connection without problems.

I have a belkin router. It works well with several laptops.
I can connect to it with my JASJAR and get an IP address.
If I sync pop3 email it uses WIFI and works as expected.
If I sync journal bar it uses WIFI and works as expected.
However if I try to use internet explorer it alway tries to start a GPRS session and refuses to work through WIFI. :evil: Why??
Ive sent hours trying every setting I can find.
Anyone have any suggestions? :?:
Jon
At least your Wifi network doesn't crash as soon as u connect the JJ. Mine doesn't even get that far...
Anyone who can help???
Hmmm I wonder if this is something in the Telstra settings Cab.
Re those having problems all on Telstra?
Might try a hard re set and then manually build the settings.
Jon
Try de activating the phone. this allows you to use IE via your wireless router.
Tried that, thanks.
I just get the "Cannot Connect" message and if I dismiss it. Nothing!
However I can sync the weather without getting the "Cannot Connect" box. SO the WiFi is working, its just that Explorer can see it.
Im running the O2 UK firmware and it works fine (auto gives prefernce to the WiFi if I am in range, try loading on the genuine Imate firmware.
Jon
I know how you feel. I can't get wifi to work. Heck, I can't even use IE when synced to the computer via USB :evil:
Have you tried messing with the settings in start/settings/connections/connections?
I finally got it working.
You have to chose the "Telstra Internet" setting in Network Managment.
Its in Settings, Connections, Advanced, Select Networks, select "Telstra Internet".
I then did, Settings, Connections, Manage existing connections, Modem, and set it to "Auto"
It uses the WiFi first and then only uses GPRS if there is no WiFi.
Hope this helps someone else !

Can anyone help me with just getting my JJ connected to the wifi network without crashing the router?
Have you tried turning off any encryption etc and re booting the router.
Then try to connect at the most basic level?
Now I'm totally confused
I don't know what is going on!
I have finally managed to use IE via Activesync, using "Telstra Internet" as my My network connects to...
I tried again to hook up to the wifi network. The router is connected to my desktop via a physical cable, and my tablet pC is connected wirelessly (my JJ syncs with the tablet). I turned to tablet off, and then connected the JJ to the desktop wirelessly. On the desktop, I am no longer able to connect to the internet, but for some reason, the JJ is able to connect to the internet :shock:
But, even if I disconnect the JJ from the network, my desktop is unable to connect back to the internet until I reboot the router. What does this all mean????
I have the same issue with my MDA Pro! i done even have the sutp option in the modem settings. I can connect to my belkin router with encryption but no response when in IE!
Anyone else got any other suggestions?
I'm beginning to think that nobody has a solution to such connection problems. Is there any hope on the horizon? Any chance of something being sorted out by MS?
BTW, how well does BT syncing/internet connection work?
Ok frustration rising.
I can connect to my Belkin wireless router with no problems but I can only log onto the router and not browse the internet!
I have checked that the proxy is not configured.
Anyone got any ideas?
Nope

Hello,
Hopefully somebody can help me on this one because it is absolutely driving me nuts and I can't find a shred of information on it anywhere.
I have an L2TP VPN setup for work and it works great if my phone is connected over Wi-FI. However, I can't get it to work over the cell network. When I hold down the VPN entry and click "Connect" it waits about 3 seconds and brings up an error saying "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings". If I tap "Settings" it just brings me back to my VPN entry. Again, this works flawlessly over WiFi so I don't believe it's an issue within the settings of my VPN connection.
Is there a registry hack I need like the "ForceCellConnection" key used with tethering? Am I supposed to create a Modem entry in the VPN settings? I've tried this and copied the properties from the default "Sprint" connection but that doesn't work.
Thoughts? Ideas?
Thanks,
Scott
sounds like your phone company are blocking the ports required for vpn try connecting them

Have you heard of Sprint blocking VPN? Also, this worked fine on my old Touch Pro Diamond but hasn't worked since I got my Touch Pro 2.
Thanks,

A similar issue
HI
I have a similar issue
Using windows mobile 6.5 device with a Vodafone 3G sim
Connecting to a draytek vigor 2820 router setup with basic PPTP
the wm6.5 device will connect to the 3G network but the VPN does not connect.
if I turn the 'phone off and turn on wifi, the same VPN settings allow me access.
Conclusion: VPN settings are OK
Using windows xp PC with the same Vodafone 3G sim in a USB dongle
Connecting to a draytek vigor 2820 router setup with basic PPTP
the Windows PC (wifi off, network cable out) will connect to 3G and also connect using PPTP to the VPN
Conclusion: Provider (vodafone) is not blocking the ports.
which leads me to think that the problem resides in the VPN client on WM6.5.
however I'm not sure where to go from there. Have I missed some setting? does it even work? any assistance greatly appreciated.
best regards
Stuart
i think this is the script blocking by the phone company
Try connecting via hostname/IP address in the VPN setting.
