I have a HTC TP2 Verizon with WM6.1, the PPTP VPN I created in "My Work Networks" only connects to my office PPTP server when I have a WiFi connection running. Cannot get it to connect when the "Verizon Wireless" connection is running and WiFi is off. However, when I tether the TP2 to my Laptop and start a Verizon WWAN EV-DO connection in VZAccess I can get a PPTP VPN connection configured on my laptop to connect (I take that as an indication that Verizon allows PPTP through their network).
So any suggestions on how to get WM6.1 PPTP connection running on Verizon 3G/EVDO would be much appreciated!

I am trying to establish a VPN connection but cannot get the connection to work.
I am using the built in MS VPN client of Win Mobile v5.0 (5.1.1700 build 14352.0.1.0)
I am having real problems getting a VPN connection set up with our network.
I have tried both PPTP and L2PT
When L2TP, I was authenticating with a preshared key
Firewall logs show PPTP negotiation successful, and issues a VPN IP address to the device
It can ping the firewall external interface, but times-out trying to reach an internal address
The VPN session is established, but the firewall logs don't register either deny or allow traffic for each internal ping request, rather the firewall packet error count increments for each failed attempt.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I had problems with PPTP - gave up
I hate the way Windows mobile labels connections.
I connect to many customers with PC Anywhere, VNC, SSH etc and I have access via serveral different windows PPTP VPN.
Like you I setup the details in connections and try to dial.
Nothing seems to happen. The connect option does not change to disconnect. So I assume it is not connected.
I have a feeling these connection do not work over WIFI. and perhaps work over T-mobile 3g only, to maximise data revenues.
Seems very buggy to me. I would really like someone to post a working example/Instructions. Can I get a refund on my MDA PRo?
MS please note it is not a connection to my work or an internet connection it is to a customer for remote support, likewise I often connect remotely to my home via PPTP from my office.
confirmed VPN works over t-mobile 3g not Wifi
SEems the VPN links only work over 3g not Wi FI.
I'm using a PPTP connection over either 3G of WIFI depending on te active connection.
- When WIFI is active the PPTP connection connects using WIFI (I can switch off the phone, so it must be using that one)
- When no WIFI connection is active it automatically connects to 3G first, and than starts the PPTP session
In network management I'v set:
Internet:
Internet (the one containing the 3G connection)
select 'this network connects to the Internet' on the proxy tab.
private network:
My Work (the one that contains the vpn connection)
do NOT select 'this network connects to the Internet' on the proxy tab.
So as you can see, nothing special (I'm using a Qtek 9000 with standard Wm5 ROM)
Hi All,
Is there any way that I can keep multiple connection profiles like "work" "home" "wifi with company VPN" and so on?
Currently there is only "internet" and "work". And when I connect wifi at some hotspot, to connect to corporate VPN server, it just doesnt connect saying "server problem". The corporate server runs PPTP and i can connect thru my laptop pretty fine. Cant I connect to wifi and VPN server both at the same time?

I have an Asus P750. Under My ISP I have my Providers GPRS Settings and under my Work Network I have only one VPN Connection, Wi-Fi is set to connect to Internet. When I connect the VPN it will first connect to the GPRS and then the VPN and works fine. If in my WiFi List there is a Network which was connected only once and is then disconected the VPN will not work anymore. It will connect the GPRS Connection and the Moment the VPN starts it will drop the GPRS Connection and give me the Error Message VPN Server Problem........ If I then delete all WiFi Connections and re-boot the Machine then the VPN over GPRS works fine till the next time I use WiFi. Everything else works and connects fine. Any Ideas anybody...
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

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.

Anybody have experience connecting a Verizon Tab to a PPTP vpn?
For some reason, I cannot connect to pptp vpn using WIFI or 3G (encryption on/off doesn't matter).
I don't have any problems connecting to the same VPN on my Evo.
