Is it possible place a shortcut to a VPN connection in the quicklinks?
It is annoying to navigate through the menus if i need to start the vpn to my corporation.
Would be nice if someone has a solution for that.
If you're using a custom client you can add that as a program in the quick links. Otherwise, the closest I get is through the Internet Sharing program added in the quick links and then tapping: Menu>Connection Settings>Manage existing connections. Is this quick enough for you?
Out of interest, are you using the WM client or have you installed some other vpn client?
Anyway u can teach me how to use VPN in the HD2? Thanks.

the remote desktop client on my vario ii connects to my work desktop perfectly using our office vpn but it is rubbish! the screen doesn't scale well at all or provide any kind of zoom out function.
I have a vnc client which performs much better but it won't connect over the vpn it only works when connected directly to the office network.
forwarding ports is out of the question. so my question is this.
is there a vnc client for pocket pc which will work over vpn or is there a way to make the remote desktop client less rubbish
also are there any apps out there that will let me browse my work network over the vpn. resco doesn't seem to be able to do it even the ftp client won't work.
am I missing something about vpn connections as it seems the only two apps that work over one are activesync and the remote desktop client.
Did you tried to acces domain controler throught the VPN? If yes it is normal that it doesn't work; Domain controler require security enhancement in auth that pocket devices cannot deliver yet. The only way I know is to reduce the security enhancement by using the GPO on the concerned servers; but this is far of being a clean fix.
Just trying to use connect to a vnc server on my workstation. btw our domain controller is the exchange server and active sync works fine
Active sync & exchange do not use the integrate authentification & kerberos; it uses a plain text auth (crypted with the SSL certs), that's why it works. Even if you are on the LAN you will not be able to access your domain's controller shares because of security enhancement.
This is far from solving your issue; but I just wanted to make it clear. Concerning your issue I can't help you at the moment, I still didnt tried the VPN & advanced networking.
btw, good luck
I have set up a vpn on my home computer, no domain, and can't access shares or a vnc server on that either.
Hi Stemill, I seen your other post about the vpn issues with Resco also, I have heard in the past about vpn issues using the [email protected], are you using [email protected] or [email protected]?
I use the terminal/remote client on a daily basis, and it does blow, vj on the board here has made an app that allows fullscreen with the terminal client, and theres a Mocha remote desktop client that supports scaling but no fullscreen, both of which have their own quirks. The scaling makes the text impossible to read when its even at 25%
I have been working on connecting to the remote desktop on mac with vnc, and I've gotten as far as an error on authentification, so I know its possible outside of a home network, but I don't have a clue about buisness situations..exchange or vpn's.
I not even 100% positive about the wap issue, I just seem to remember reading something about it in the past.
Sorry I wasn't of much help, also I kind of have a question for you, I see you mention activesync, you're not activesyncing over an internet connection are you?, I'm working on installing apps that I don't have a .cab for over an internet connection, but the best route I had figured out was to install to a ftp share and then grab the .cab from there with Resco.
Best of luck to you.
Hi there.
I'm on t-mob in the uk. They have a 3g network with full internet access so i'm not using wap at all.
Thanks for the tips about the remote client tweaks. Do you have a link?
I'm using activesync to connect to my works exchange server to sync email and calendar. Pretty sure its not possible to sync over the air to a pc without using exchange. You certainly won't be able to grab remote files via activesync.
If we could figure out how to get apps to work over vpn you could set one up on your pc and (theoretically at least) browse its contents using resco without having to bother with ftp.
If it's not possible to get stuff working over the vpn then you've probably found the best solution already. use ftp or setup a webserver on your pc and host the cab files on that. pocket ie seems to let you install cab files directly from a link.
btw which vnc client are you using on your phone?
Hi, I forget a lot of the time that people here have so many different carriers, sorry.
Here's the link to vj's terminal addon app
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJFullscreenTSC
And here's the link to the Mocha remote client app
http://www.mochasoft.dk/rd.htm
I used .Net vnc when I was able to get the authentification error
http://www.freewareppc.com/docs/netvncviewer.shtml
I think my problem on the authentification was with the apple remote desktop itself, I read about somethin in the authentification being non standard and sometimes the free vnc viewers don't work..but that was also pc to pc related, the same makers of the Mocha remote desktop also make a vnc client..that was gonna be my next try, I just haven't gotten there yet.
I inistally set up my pc to be able to remote to it from my phone and access aol chatrooms..well mainly one I have hung out in for years, then realized if I set up a server, I could install apps that I couldn't find in .cab form over the net with it, I used to have windows server 2003 set up with IIS(webserver) and the streaming media services, I'm wondering now if the windows streaming media really works with the pocket windows media, and if I could even use it with my gprs/edge connection, I'm still waiting on 3G, suprisingly the remote desktop isn't too bad on gprs/edge.
I'm currently waiting to get a new hard drive before I can really get to work, I'm testing on an old messed up xp install, and half the time I can't even access "my computer" or open folders without it crashin explorer.
Hi,
I'm currently on a HTC Trinity using Mary's 3.3.5 ROM and want to be able to connect to my universities WiFi network but to do so I need to use a VPN tunnel, anyone recommend a good PPC App that will allow me to connect to my universities VPN?
Cheers,

WM6 Pro includes both a PPTP & a L2TP/IPSec VPN client. This will work with most VPN routers & firewalls, however they may not be configured to support it. If you can connect using Windows 2000/XP's built-in PPTP or L2TP/IPSec VPN Client then you can almost certainly connect with WM6's.
A lot if VPN Routers & Firewalls are supplied with a 'free' Windows client that has the documentation geared around it. However most (if not all?) of these products will work with the native VPN client in Windows 2000+ (and WM5/6). I would try and stick with the L2TP/IPSec client but this requires some additional steps over setting up PPTP - on both the client & server (router). It is worth the extra steps in my opinion though.

I have the same problem ... I am not able to connect using the default VPN client ...
Hi,
There's a great review of vpn clients by Menneisyys in the Wiki. It's entitled:
'Access Your Desktop PC From Your Pocket PC!'
I'm sure you'll find it very useful because it would point you in the right direction as regards VPN tunnelling to your Uni's server.

HI!
Thank you for your reply, but this articles are about "Remote desktop" - like solutions for WM - based devises. Not for connecting to VPN.
Did anybody have had any success so far?
Any working 3-rd party VPN clients / Solutions?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
You might find Manneisyys' review very long but if you take your time to read it, you'll see that he talks about the various VPN clients and how they compare. VNC, VNC+, etc are all mentioned there.
Just take your time to read it.

Nice article, is the VPN working?
Do you have the WM6 VPN client working? Specifically the ActiveSync -> VPN -> MS Exchange functionality that was there under WM5?

Thank you for your answer!
But. Once again: the article talks about REMOTE CONTROL with the use of things like: RAdmin, MS RDP, etc.
This sofware - are remote desktops, so called VNC, not VPN clients in a classic way.
There is a little mess we get at the moment. (I've defenetelly got)
Let me describe in detail:
People need VPN here for many reasons, for me it is:
- to connect to some VPN through WIFI with our WM5 \ 6 device.
In my case- this is a public WIFI internet provider, which has a wifi coverage in the city.
Wifi is open PPTP. I need to type in a login \ pass on the web page I get, to start using the internet in current wifi session.
The ALTERNATIVE way to conect to internet - is to establish a VPN connection over the wifi.
I can successfully do in on the laptop.
With my UNI, WM5, AKU 3.5 - I can connect to VPN with the built-in VPN Client, but the first request to internet (via browser or Messaging send-receive) - drops my VPN connection, as it described here in the forum.
So: we need some software that can work.
I tried so far:
1. BlueFire VPN - just can't connect.
2. Antha VPN - just doesn't work.
I have heard thah on some other ROMs there is no problem with the built-in VPN client for PPTP, will try with some other WM6 ROMs later.
Any solution so far?
Thank you, kiwi992
Thanks to everybody!

Hi! The L2TP/IPSec is a special story.
It is widely discussed here at forum: xda-developers > General discussion > Networking >
Search for *VPN* string on this forum.
This is the: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302520&page=2&highlight=*VPN* one of the success stories.
You need to obtain the certificate from the system administrators of your network. You may also have some "magic" URL in your campus network, where you can download the required certificate. This URL should point to the inranet web page of the web interface of the VPN server.
If your goal is to securely connect to some specific computer on the network, you should use one of the VNC programs: the VNC server part on the computer, and the VNC client on your device.
In any case - first check your certificate \ settings on, say, Windows XP laptop, connected through WIFI, first, then continue with the device.
Good luck!

VPN problems
I don't know if this issue is specific to my device (pharos gps 600 gps phone), or to windows mobile 6 which I'm running.
I can't connect to my vpn through wifi, the reason being is that I cannot associate any connections through the wifi card with the vpn info.
Wifi card doesn't show as a selectable modem in the modem tab next to the vpn tab in the vpn config. Only modems are cellular line modems, bluetooth, and one "hayes compatible com1" which is my usb I would guess.
Does anybody know how I might get around this?
this took me hrs to figure out, & I couldn't find it posted here anywhere, so at the risk of sounding simple, I thought I'd share it - I was trying to rdp to my terminal server at work using vpn on my T-Mobile wing w/WM6.1 pro & I couldn't figure out how to start the vpn connection - I created the vpn server connector under settings / connections / connections / edit my vpn servers, but I couldn't figure out how to launch the connection - so I pressed the stylus on the server to delete it, & wa-lah! - one of the options was "connect" - THAT did the trick! - connected the vpn, then went to the rdp client & was able to get to my server!
That's really very helpful. Thanks a lot.
what about smartpone?
I have the same problem: I don't know how to start the VPN Connection, but I don't have touchscreen!!!
Anybody has a solution?
Can someone tell me how is get this app to work?
Can't connect to my PC at all.
Cheers!
Hmm. I'll get back to you on this. I knew how to do this before lol. I just use LogMeIn now (Logmein.com)
i use"real VNC" it's very easy to handle and works good....
Imma try to get "real VNC" to work, thanks!
Still hope to hea from you soon Kraize92
EDIT: Uh, is there a specific VNC for WM6? Cause now I only got it on XP .. how do i get a VNC viewer on my Diamond?
Cheers!
http://www.realvnc.com/products/beta/ce/
DotNet VNC is an excellent viewer for WM5/6. One single (tiny) exe, no install, fully functional:
http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/
I'm using the beta 1.0.1.17 with no problems. Just note that when you click connect, the window will disappear momentarily as it connects to your host/vnc server.
RDP--you must disable proxy..
Microsoft RDP requires the proxy be disabled, at least for the AT&T network version.. There is access in the settings menu to enable/disable the proxy.
I can remote control my servers over the Internet through my firewall just fine, using Server 2003 RRAS as my RDP server. Should be the same for MS Small Business Server 2003.
(Note:the AT&T proxy filters out the GRE packet type needed for MS version of RDP).
You might need to re-enable the proxy for normal Web surfing..
Hey guys..
I am trying to connect to my VPN so that i will be able to view some webcams i have on several shops.
I can connect to the VPN without no problem but as soon as i open ANY browser (opera internet explorer... etc..) i get disconnected.

I have been using Hamachi and VNC Server. I can access and control my Pc from my HD2 and TYTn.
This combination has worked very well for me. I can watch my webcam from the phone and see what my dog is doing . Besides I can access my shared folders and listen to music, etc.
Hamachi by itself will be enough to establish a VPN connection and access your shared folders.

Hello,
you are writing that you can connect VPN on your HD2. Please, what software do you use? Can you upload it there? Because I want to connect from my HD2 to OpenVPN server, if it is possible.
Thank you for your reply!
Hi,
I use Hamachi as my VPN. Once you install Hamachi on your PC you can access it using the Hamachi mobile client.
Here is the to the Hamachi Mobile Client https://secure.logmein.com/labs/
I use VNC viewer for connecting to my RealVNC server. Here is the link to the original post that took me to the VNC viewer cab. I hope it helps

Hi everyone .
sorry to ask you guys but im new here and im so confused !
can anyone please explain to me how can i connect to a vpn with Hd2 .
i dont see any option to choose that when im connecting to the internet with my wifi connection ,so please help me .
Hamachi is not VPN, it goes through some 3rd party servers, so it isn't safe. OpenVPN should be okay.
a quick clarification to your statement:
google.fi/search?hl=fi&defl=en&q=define:Hamachi&sa=X&ei=-fdiTJGJN4OQjAfU3uCWAQ&ved=0CBYQkAE
the 3rd party server is only use for the initial negotiation of the connection between Pcs.
Hi there!
I've got OpenVPN installed and working perfectly
You can get it here:
http://ovpnppc.ziggurat29.com/ovpnppc-files.htm
I installed the german 2.1.0 version. Works almost perfect.
The only thing is, i have to disable htc sense to see the small icon located in a kind of task bar on the bottom of the screen. Does anybody know a workaround to access this Icon without turning htc sense off for the home screen?
This would be perfect.
Best regards
