Sync XDAIIs with laptop via GPRS

Hi,
I understand that you can sync XDAIIs with outlook on my laptop connected to a server through some software, any ideas please.
Many thanks

Hi,
I'm not 100% sure on what you mean. If you can "physically" connect your IIs to the laptop (WiFi or USB or even BT) then you can simply use the normal ActiveSync route, install ActiveSync 3.8 and just link the two together.
Otherwise you can instead have ActiveSync (on the device itself) running in Exchange server mode and it'll ActiveSync straight with the server IF you have an Exchange server. I use this method myself and it works perfectly even over a GPRS connection.
Hope that was of some help. Sorry if I missed your point.

Network Access trough ActiveSync?

Isn't network access from the PocketPC trough (USB) ActiveSync-Connection possible? I don't get it working. With my old iPAQ (Widcomm Bluetooth Stack) i can use the Bluetooth Network for full network access. I tried PocketLANce but it's only a "remote network" for the host.
Any ideas to get my MDAc really bound in the network?

you have many things to try:
1. in your device.. go to Start>Settings>Connections>Advanced then Select Networks... and choose the internet or work... one of them should work for you..
2. at the same time, if you are using ActiveSync 3.7 or 3.8 ... go to Options>Rules> and make sure the pass through options is checked and matches the same network you choose on your PPC (ie. work & work )
3. for best results, I'd suggest upgrading into Active Sync 4.1 , which does all the work for you automatically :wink:
Hope this helped
cheers

I WOULDN'T upgrade to 4.1
Even microsoft reccomend not to use it for anything other than WM5 as it (4.1) is so monumentally crap!
although I would do the rest of it.
as long as passthrough is set to automatic it should work. Did with mine anyway!

I use ActiveSync 4.1 (since it was released) and i never had problems with it (only with 4.0 and my firewall).
I can access the internet from my MDA, but not the LAN. I want to sync with the Exchange Server, without a partnership on the PC. I get the CONNMGR_36 Error
As the Exchange-Server, i entered \\IP-Adress and used Certchk to disable the Certificat Check.

I got it working! I got my MDAc syncing with the Exchange without a partnership with the computer!
Thank you for your help, and btw, you need AS4 for this.
A good site for error codes:

I don't have problem accessing the LAN (Both USB and BT connection). eg: I can open my songs and video using TCPMP with address: "http://172.18.0.2:8080" (I configure my apache to listen to 8080 instead of 80)
P.S. I am also using the latest Activesync 4.1 (it's slow but I always want the latest)

I want to setup a LAN over USB between my Magician and my PC, with static IP's, but i don't know how. At WM5.0 the PPC takes automatically an IP, but on 2003SE?

ActiveSync issues with Exchange?

I've been having a problem for the past week in that I could not connect to my Exchange Server or passthru to the Internet with and ActiveSync connection.
At least for the moment, on the Connections menu, clicking on "USB to PC" and disabling "advanced networking functionality" seems to have resolved the problem.
Anybody else run into this?
And what is this advanced networking, anyway?
I've also noticed that Sprite Backup would fail with it enabled, so it seems I've solved two problems at the same time...

i had that issue as well the work around i did was connect to my wifi connect my device to my pc sync then disconnect my wifi
still a pain

I've always just connected straight to the server over GPRS/UMTS. I haven't even installed Active Sync on my new PC.

hi Folks,
i have the same issue with Active Sync. I am using Active Sync for syncronizing emails, contacts etc ... I have discovered if you installed the device (hardreset) then you may able to sync with the exchange for the first time. After that you are not longer able to sync it.
I used different ROM's (Dopod, Qtek,O2) all have the same problem. I am not able to sync over Active Sync (4.2 latest and prior versions) with my exchange server. I need to sync over 3G Network and thats a bit expensive over the time with O2.
I think this device is more than incomplete since i am using a Wizard too and i have no problems with the same pc on my Wizard device.
I hope there will be a ROM update really soon that covers many issues discussed in that board here...
At least i am really disappointed about the device which HTC sold over the market.

Hi
On mine this works! - nevertheless i am using the IP adress - could be a hint for you guys
BR
Daniel

do you mean the IP address from the Exchange Server? Or do you pair your device with static IP addresses? :?:

Well ...
I got mine to work after i discovered that the proxy server i placed under gprs connection denied the connection to the exchange server. switching all to MyISP resolved the issue.
If you use a firewall try to look which address the RAPI Manager tries to connect to. Maybe that helps for you to solve your error.

Hi
I use the IP adress for the exchange Server name. The connection Between laptop and device is negotiated automatically

PPTP on WM5

Can anyone connect to VPN (PPTP) using WM5 via wireless or GPRS?? When i use my old XDAIIi or II, i can connect by now using WM5 i cannot.
Hope those can connect please share. tks.

I can connect to a Windows 2000 PPTP VPN via wireless -- make sure that in Settings/Network Cards/Network Adapters, your network card is set to connect to the Work network.
Also, in Settings/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks, make sure that the lower droplist (private network) is configured to use the Work network.
Aside from those two items, I can't think of any other gotchas.

Ya still doesn't work......

do you know what the vpn device is that you are trying to connect to?
windows servers tend to be quite reliable. there are known issues with some checkpoint and cisco devices.

Hello,
I am having the same problem! I cant connect via VPN (PPTP) to my Windows Server 2003 RAS setup. It works perfectly fine on my laptop over the internet but when I try to connect using my Cinguar 8125 I get a generic "Invalid username/password' kind of error message. I have tried several differnt things, but I was wondering if there are security settings that are turned off or something like that? I actually have my RAS policy to let any device establish a VPN connection (obviously as long as it is authenticated) so I dont know what to do next... any suggestions??

For me works fine. I have only 2 connections:
a) my isp, with gprs configuration for vodafone
b) my work network, with the vpn connection definition (ip address, user, passw and domain)

I have it set up the same way and I still get the password issue... what kind of policies do you have in RAS?

did you uncheck the security in the connection with the server?
take care with the name user, times exchange get crazy: server/user or only user name for the user field...

Public IP

Hi! I am not an Network expert at all, but here in Norway with one teleoperator we have to use a special access point name on My Work Network connection to get a public IP-address so Network accepts the connection. Perhaps nothing to do with your problem, but also we experience a lot of PDA users having no problem with pre-WM5 devices and much problems with WM5 devices and VPN

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.
