Access To Corperate Network Via RAS dial in ?

Hi All, well hope some one can help, as have no hair left to pull out. Our company has various free phone ras dial in numbers. I am tring to get my xda to dial into these numbers to allow me to be able to access our servers using terminal services, when problem arise. (all legal here, Its my job)
Is this possible using the xda as the os for the procedure ?
If I use the xda in a cradle connected to a laptop then I can dial in no problem and use terminal services fine on the xda, but there seem little point when I have a connected laptop......!!!!! :roll:
What I would like to be able to do is dispose of the laptop and do it all on the xda, has anyone managed or is doing this.
Any ideas would be great, as have ran out of them.
Cheers

Hey W.C. - Does your company have a public IP address that the Terminal Server is running on? I use the Terminal Services Client through GPRS all the time and it works great. I guess if you have to pay per kb with GPRS then I guess I see why you would want to dial in. I never tried the dial in method. Good luck - Jim

@JimDavis
I can't see what your problem is. (you did't mention)
I use that with my dial-in to my company
* Just setup a Cellular Line Connection (not gprs)
* Enter the Phone Number
* Enter your User/Password maybe Domain
and you are in
Maybe you need to modifiy the Linetype setting analog/digital (i.e. v.110 or v.34)
Does your provider support Data Calls on your Phone-Nr.?

Hi Guys, thanks for the help, but still that darn computer system will not let me in. Dials up ok but just keep getting the error message " There was no answer at the number dialed. Varify phone number and try again etc etc etc"
Yet if I use my laptop at the same time, same number all is fine so I now the number and line and username and password and domain are ok.
May need some super glue soon to piece my xda back together again, know any good makes.
Any more ideas ? anybody

Dial-in data call with XDA
Many GSM cullalar carriers who offer GPRS data packages block regular data calls over their network in an effort to push the GPRS stuff.
My carrier in Canada does this which gives me the exact same error you get.
Call your carrier.

Will O2 be getting a call in the morning..... I THINK SO !!!!
Cheers, will let you all know how it goes. :twisted:

Try checking the Proxy Settings tab under your profile. The "This network connects to the Internet" box should be unchecked. This may be why it only works with your computer. :roll:

Update
Contacted O2 and after 5 diffrent numbers and 30 minutes on hold, they are enabeling something their end. This will take 24 hrs, working days only.
Note: Noticed how payment and billing systems work 24/7 365 yet anything that will maybe help you works 9~5 Mon - Fri.... or is it just me.
Will update Monday :roll:

God knows why I thought that an service provider would be able to help, they are good at removing money from my account, but little all else.
Acording to them I have everything enables on my account, yet I stiil am unable to dial up using my company ras connection numbers. Still the same error message as before.
Could really do with checking settings etc with anybody who is able to dial up to their corparate network.
My mail is [email protected]
Cheers for any help.

There was no answer at the number dialed. Varify phone number and try again etc etc etc"

Every time I've seen this it has been because the provider didn't have CSD (Circuit Switched Data) calls enabled. Can you try some other type of dialup modem, such as an ISP, just to be sure it's not your company? I'll bet they didn't really enable CSD.

It may be more than that. I am able to dial up to my company via CSD however my employee collegues using the same RAS service/company etc are unsuccessful.
Recheck the Proxy Settings tab under your profile.
The "This network connects to the Internet" box should be unchecked. This may be why it only works with your computer.
The other solution is to see if your company provides a VPN RAS. Ifso, you can dial up using GPRS. :roll:

I had this problem
Was trying to dail in and sync outlook
never got it working, but i cured the no answer thing by editing the the dailing location info. turned out that it was dailing completely the wrong number. simple stuff but worth checking!

Posted detailed set-up info in thread

T-Mobile US is nice to allow this and charge air time as if it were a voice call - you get nights and weekends for free data. 7Kpbs is not too bad surfing the net with graphics turned off.

Why incoming call is blocked while GPRS is in transmission?

hi all,
i got a very annoying "feature" in the O2 Cosmo(T-Mobile Dash). The incoming call will be blocked(heard busy tone) if the GPRS is in transmission. I was complained by many friends.
To my understanding, there's a setting in some phones to enable both GSM/GPRS concurrent connections. Is there such setting in Windows Mobile?
My ROM is 1.13.207.2, RADIO is 4.1.13.28_02.63.90
i tried to refersh its ROM, but don't know how to CID unlock. the "RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe" on the server has no luck for me, still "Invalid model ID".
can anythone show light on me?
thank you

I think microsoft released a patch for that: i'll try find it on google for you. can you explain what configuration you used?

I think the 'patch' you need is called 3G.

I have the exact same problem and I opened a thread on it as well.
Read here.
The conclusion we reached was that this is a network, not phone dependent problem.

yeah never happent to me ever

thanks for all the replies.
My previous phone is O2 XDA Mini S(Wizard). I used that one to receive push mail provided by GoodLink, which requires GPRS always on. I didn't have such issue with that, at least no complain from my friends.
That's why i am wondering something wrong with the RADIO configuration. I didn't make any specific change to my new O2 XDA Cosmo(Excalibur).
best regards

And back to my memory.
I used to have the classical Ericsson T39. There was a setting to enable GSM incoming call during GPRS transmission(cannot remember the exact name). By enable that, i can still receive incoming call, and the GPRS connection will auto resume after the call.
Is there similar setting for Windows Mobile?

There is not as far as I've ever known. I've used smartphones that determined which was blocked and which was not based on which application was in use at the time. That is, if you were actively using IE or some other network app, phone calls would go straight to voice mail. If a non-network app was front and center at the time, the network would be disconnected and the phone would ring. That (and the SE settings mentioned above which I saw on my SE phones too) showed that it was a phone setting made by the carrier. I'd hope there's a little more intelligence behind it than just "voice trumps network" but if there is, I couldn't tell you what determines which gets through and when.

I've found that it's based on the amount of data being transmitted at the time of the (attempted) call. For example, high-bandwith usage such as media streaming will lead to the incoming phone call being blocked/diverted most of the time, whereas sporadic usage (eg. PING, or loading a very simple web page) has allowed a call to come in, temporarily disabling GPRS. GPRS can never be used during a phone call.

This is normal. GPRS and voice calls use the same radio, so when the data connection is active, voice calls won't work. Former co-worker had this (we tested it) with a wizard. He started the data connection, I tried calling his number, and my call went immediately to the voice mail system. There are two ways to change this behavior:
1. Use 3G
2. Use a phone with dual radios

I've never heard of a setting like that. It may be something that your carrier has on it's own version of the ROM, or something that is available on other phones.
I know my wife's hermes will drop the data connection when a voice calls comes in (happened a few days ago with an official HTC ROM), but I've never seen a setting that is changeable.

Try turning on Call Waiting, that sometimes works, depending on carrier.

i get the same problem.its not your phone because it happens to me when am using my n95 on edge.so i just bought a cheap ass phone n diverted all calls to that number when unavailable.at least am not missing any important calls that way..
i get the same problem to when using the tytn too..so i use the same solution

I check but problem is not solved.

"This is normal. GPRS and voice calls use the same radio, so when the data connection is active, voice calls won't work. "
no it's not a phone or general thing it's how modern the central one connects to is
older ones block, newer ones pause gprs while the call is on
newest can multiplex and run both at once and not just for 3g and edge

the fact that you don't get this problem on other operators could be down to two things.
1: the other operators have programmed their networks correctly to give priority to voice rather than data, and so they pause the GPRS and route the call to you.
2: the other networks give you 3G rather than GPRS. this is more likely to allow simultaneous voice and data.
Of course, as rudegar said, it depends on the infrastructure of the operator. I know of many networks in europe where the network is programmed to go straight to voicemail even on 3G/HSDPA. talk about not using the full potential of the technology....

There isn't a official WM6.1 for the hermes. My wife's phone is running WM6.

Ah, I wasn't aware of this. So if I understand correctly, if the radio (and stack) is modern enough, the data connection will be 'on hold' while the voice is handled, then pick up where it left off, correct? Or is that handled by the carrier, or a combination of the two?

I think this options is write in my countary total five operators i received calls on 4 operator but i not used these operators
but problem only in my operator

"Ah, I wasn't aware of this. So if I understand correctly, if the radio (and stack) is modern enough"
no the hardware in your operators central which recieve your call
it's not phone depending at all

No MMS on ATT wireless

MMS is not working on ATT. I receive forbidden errors when downloading. Sending results in repeated attempts with failed delivery. I've checked the configuration to the best of my knowledge. I called ATT CSR and confirmed my account is correctly provisioned. I can surf the web and other web apps work with the exception of:
(1) Bank Of America returns security error and prevents usage.
(2) Music ID and/or Track ID does not connect properly
(3) MMS
Callers are also receiving not available messages. This is only on incoming calls.
Help!

I have AT&T in USA and MMS works perfectly. What rom and radio versions are you using? Are these issues you were experiencing from the initial day you received your Touch HD or did you notice it not working recently?

I have the original ROM and radio. It the same one as in your signature.
The problem just became apparent. I had to call AT&T to switch me off the iPhone plan so I could receive MMS in the first place. Now even after a lengthy call with AT&T CSR MMS still does not work.
I'm going to try another Hard Reset

Inbound calls go straight to Voicemail

My Nexus is currently stock and has developed a strange fault today...?
All inbound calls are diverted to Voicemail, there is no ringing or indication on the phone that a call is inbound, I can make calls okay and no settings have been changed in the o2 APNs.
I called O2 which was a waste of time as anticipated.
The only thing that has changed in last 24 hours is I installed and then uninstalled the "saymyname" app which speaks contact info on inbound calls.
Would a factory/hard reset fix this maybe ???

Go into your contacts and click on one and check to see if the option to send them directly to voicemail is set. It might have set this option somehow.

.
Try looking at your call forwarding settings. Some programs will change those as well
