hi,
i have a hd2 and want to run different network services like ftp server oder a vnc server on it.
when i connect to my pda while it is connected to my home network with wlan, everything ist working as expected. eg. i start the ftp server on my pda, and connect to it from my desktop using the ip adress that it has obtained from the dhcp server, also vnc and other services are working fine.
the problems starts when i try to connect to my pda over the cellular data connection gprs/3g. the device establish the connection, i can browse the internet oder use email, everything works as expected. but when i try to access the ip address that the telecom provider has given to my pda, i cant make a connection. i get the ipaddress over tools like vxutil oder pocketdhcp and also try webservices like whatismyip.com, to asure that the ip is correct. but i simply cant connect to the device. its like all ports are closed.
are there any restrictions in the ip stack of the pda for incoming connections or is this a provider firewalling thing? i tried 2 different provider my self an both seems to have this problem.
regards mad
it comes down to which ports your phone company leaves open most don't leave too many open
hi,
thats what i expected too. as far as i can see german t-(in)mobile and eplus seems to block hardcore everything. the main application for me is vnc, i want our customers to be able to connect remotly with the ultra vnc sc tool. so the only way to do this when im at gprs/3g, is to use some kind of repeater software on that is always on and is connected to the internet all the time.
regards mad
where is i canfound related forum like this??

G'day all,
Well I got my jasjar today, and essentially I was originally under the impression that with this I would be able to use the wireless technologies of my laptop and jasjar to sync outlook, and browse the fiels on the notebook etc.
Then reality hit me.
You cannot sync via wireless. Then as it turns out I have no clue on how to setup a wireless network..
So im just wondering if anyone can inform me, is it possible for my jasjar and centrino notebook to communicate with each other wirelessly? If so what do I need to do in order to do that.
Thanks in advance
a very confused wireless enthusiast.
ActiveSync will not work on wi-fi, but you can setup a device-to-device network and use files on a share on your computer. If your Centrino has Bluetooth, you can use ActiveSync with that.
i have AS over bluetooth fine, and allows me to browse the internet etc
i have WIFI configured at home and work which allows me to browse shared folders with passwords and permission, run terminal server to my XP and our Terminal Server, and allows me to run Terminal Server over wireless over the internet direct to my remote work servers.
so it really depends on what you want to achieve, it will more than likely be a combination solution.
WIFI <> AS
WIFI = Internet and Shares and Terminal Server
WIFI = Streaming music and videos
Bluetooth = AS
Bluetooth = Internet
Bluetooth <> Shares and Terminal Server
Well my laptop doesnt have bluetooth so that is no good to me.
Yeah I just want to access the laptops music, video or documents wirelessly. Im a little or completely lost as how to do this, I do not have broadband, and I have no networking experience really.
All I have is a Centrino laptop armed with the latest wifi components, and a jasjar.
I managed to make a device-to-device connection as someone suggested, and the devices appeared to connect, but I couldnt seem to do anything with them as such.
Try Resco Explorer (www.resco.net) It allows you to map network drives (once you have your device-to-device connection sorted)
Wiz - Off topic but can you share how you got your O2 Exec Blackberry Enabled? I'd like to do the same. Ta - philg
Got resco explorer, gotta say thats a handy lil feature packed app. But to my problem at hand....does anyone have or can anyone give me a run down of how to get a device-to-device networking happenng.
I can get the two devices to connect as such via wifi, both jasjar says connected as does XP, however when I go to map a network drive, in Resco or XP fo rthat matter, I just an a message saying no computer is connected or availbe. This despite the fact that it is right there!!
Any suggestions, tutorial recommendations?
Thanks.
r u using xp pro or home?
what sort of antivirus r u running?
firewall? ms or other
any other security settings imposed?
generally, go to pc, find folder u want to connect to, RMC, properties, sharing, enable with a name you like, apply security with password (nb sharinmg over wifi will allow others to access without security).
goto pda, resco, map drive, type in \\computername\sharename, enter your username to log onto pc and password (assuming these were the same pemissions you applied when setting up)
I had this working using a wifi access point via a local router, but norton screwed it up and been unable to fix....
Yes XP Pro
Default Network Security really, like I said ive never really used them or accessed the features so usually keep em closed.
and running NIS 2005. But yeah look im not a total noob, ie I disabled NIS at one point to see if that was hampering the connections, and even enabled it and enabled full access and that did nothing either.
what you suggested I pretty much did.
however, when ive set up the device to device connection it gives me security options ie WEP WPA etc, done these restrict other networks from using the shared folder?
I ask because there are a fare few wireless networks around me, wouldnt want to give any of them access to my stuff, even if it is only my music and some documents.
If you start your WIFI on your PPC and PC, does the WIFI icon on the PPC create the connection, ie the antennae and two arrows that remain still.
If so, then you have got the connection to the PC, we just then need to get the folders and access to each other. If not, then we cant get any further till we resolve this issue.
RMC My Computer or go to control panel system. Far right Tab allow remote connections, tick the box to allow. This should allow a Terminal Server connection from your PPC to your PC. So find out the IP of your PC, then open TSC and enter the same IP address and see if it connects. If it starts to get create a connection via GPRS/3G cancel it. This will be due to the "My Work" and "Internet" settings which we will have to come back to.
If it you can open a TSC then you have established the WIFI and can create and authenticate a connection, so it means we have a problem with the foler sharing.
So in summary, doing the above will:
1. Estabish that the WIFI connection using WEP is working
2. That you are connecting over the same common network using TSC to connect and control your PC from your PPC
3. THat the problems are folder sharing related
Let me know how you go.
I wont be able to try these suggestions until tomorrow but im pretty confident one of these will work, thanks for taking the time, I will definitely try em tomorrow.
But just for what information I have ATM, yes the wifi icon you described is there, so like I said the PPC is definitely connecting, just when its connected I dont seem to be able to do much.
Will let you know how I go
THanks again
I have resolved the problem that I have been having with connecting to a network share, when I could before and cant now....
The answer was simple, and I cant believe how simple.
The answer was found here, and posted by DUTCH
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21317&highlight=network+wifi+connection+share
"Make sure you have "Enable Netbios over TCP/IP" checked in your TCP/IP Advanced settings."
If your not sure where this is let me know, but it provided and immediate fix for me. ...
Well, actually, I did two things simultaneously, so not sure which actually worked. I also went into the specific connectsion > Network Cards on the PPC, Network Adapter set to work, then Wireless tab, found the specific network opened this and changed this from internet to work.
So the combineation of the IP settings and the change from internet to work allows my ppc to connect to my computers folder shares.
well, i tested it furter.
If i left the work setting on my network, then when I used the internet, it opened and connected a gprs connection to open the web site.
so i changed the network connect back to "the internet", and was able to use the network card to connect to the internet and access the web.
I was also STILL able to access a network share whilst the network connected to "the internet", so the solution for me was
"Make sure you have "Enable Netbios over TCP/IP" checked in your TCP/IP Advanced settings."
I used to be able to access the internet on my MDA Pro when connected to my laptop via activesync.
Now I can't!!!!
Could anyone tell me how to do this & the difference between work and internet settings?
Thanks
have you selected the pass through function in activesync?
work allows the use of VPN connections as it is expected to use names for the machines you are going to connect to. thus disallowing the use of "." in addresses.
internet allows the use of ".", but connecting a VPN connection is difficult over it. in order to use "." vpn connection addresses over the internet, you have to start placing exceptions in to the connections advanced section.
you should set it to Internet to allow the internet pass through feature.
hope it helps and is clear enough. if you need further clarification let me know. i just had to setup my wifes 2 days ago, and i can back track how i did it if necessary.
another question with same content.
use PC as a bridge for MDA (connected via BT or cable)
PC connected via proxy to the i-net.
on MDA the IE works fine, Opera doesn't.
any ideas??
greets, Ben
sorry dont use opera at all.
does it work with IE?
like I said before:
IE works fine
Opera not.
Hello!
I am looking for a Dynamic DNS updating software similar to the ones for PC. I found one made by TZO found here: http://www.tzo.com/index.html However I already have a free DDNS service from www.dyndns.com and I want to use that service on Pocket PC's running Windows Mobile 5. Is there any type of software out there that can do this? I primarily need it to perform VNC tasks on multiple mobile phones. Thanks!

hi
not sure about any programs to do this, but if you could how would you connect to the phone? via GPRS/3G, wifi ?
just tested and you cant ping a PPC thats on GPRS/3G from the internet, might beable to if your on the same network but i dont think you could, most ddns clients i know of use the internet ip which is different to the PPC address
if wifi then the ports would need to be forwarded from the router to the PPC unless is on your own wifi network then you would be better of giving them all there own ip
you could get them to connect to a vpn when you need to connect to them, that might allow to connect to them, but not 100% sure

Hi!
I have been trying to connect to my to vpn pptp server (witopia.net) for 2 days. I tried every combination that i could think, but there must be something i am doing wrong. I think the mobile is trying to connect to the vpn server through gsm because everytime i try to connect the gsm signal bars disappear for a few moments. How can i make sure that the vpn connection goes through wifi?
I have managed to actually connect to the vpn server, but i cannot access websites like facebook and youtube from the Leo (I live in China and they are blocked). I am able to access blocked services through my iphone and laptop through the same vpn connection.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
PPTP on WM6 is a major problem. Especially if the server (and most do) required MPPE. Its one of the few niggles I have about WM. If you own the server your best setting up the conection using L2TP/IPSEC.
Or if you dont own the VPN server, and have a server laying around the house (as I do) you could set up your server to use the PPTP VPN then set there server as a Proxy, and connect WM6 to the server via proxy...so basically WM6>Proxy>VPN>interwebs
Hi Jagnet, Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately i am not able to use Ipsec/L2TP in China, only PPTP works fine with blocked sites.
After trying many combinations, there is a step that i havent been able to figure it out.
Once i am in Start > Settings > Connections (tab) > Connections (icon) > Advanced (tab) > Select Networks, How do i select the WIFI connection in "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using" opcion? . On the modem tab i only can choose "celullar line", "Celullar line (GPRS)" or "Hayes Compatible on COM1:", there is nothing about WIFI there, so when i try to connect at the vpn server specified in "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using", the phone seems to be trying to connect via GPRS.
¿Any ideas?
Thanks

having similar issues with HD2. CMCC as well, in China.
I am getting a proxy IP address if I check on ipchicken.com, etc
but I am not able to open FB.
I am not using the PPTP option, but using their SSL service with
openVPN. but STILL not working..
right now on support chats with witopia.
VPN PPTP is simply broken in WM. It will work, but only with no encryption at all, which beats the purpose.
First of all sorry for bumping this old thread. But I have been looking and it seems kinda close to what I`m doing, oh a little new to vpn.
I have managed to sucessfully connect the HD2 via VPN in connections only when on the lan (outwith I need to contact O2 to get it enabled apparently). I setup a dialup connection in Win 7; HD2 says I`m connected to the VPN.
However heres the thing. Am I right in thinking that folders by default have to be shared. Therefore when using resco I can see network folders anyway, when connected to wifi.
So how would I prove that I can see folders shared to the VPN and not on the LAN as I cant seem to prove whether I`m seeing the folder via LAN and not on the VPN?
Sorry if its confusing but perhaps you get my drift? Or am I missing the point entirely....
Please assist.
1. My PC identifies the HD2 as Ad-Hoc and not as Infrastructure. Is it the case?
2. The WiFi router application registers only the WAP APN in the internet connections. I usually use the Internet APN, why is it not chosen?
3. On my PC, should I enter the 10 digits WEP key for all four WEP key slots, or just into the first slot?
4. When I try to connect, the HD2 prompts me to enter a Static IP address (no DHCP support). Where should I enter it? what mask and gateway addresses?
Thanks
anyone using that app?
I tried, but I can't. Unlike the original poster, it tries to connect to my MMS access point, of course there's no internet access there. I haven't been able to figure out how to make it work yet.
Mine works perfectly but only if the HD2 is right next to the computer. For some reason the range is ridiculously minimal.

Battery drain, if the range was increased it would kill the battery.
I have the same problem as the first poster : I can't choose the correct 3G connection. Only one connection is displayed in HTC Wifi Router with one single radio button on its right and it's not the right internet connection for unlimited internet.
in order to choose the right APN, please choose SETTINGS>CONNECTIONS>CONNECTIONS>ADVANCED>SELECT NETWORKS and enter the right APN (Internet) in both tabs.
That will do the trick.
still, although HD2 is discoverable by my PC (in wifi Find networks), with a good reception level, my PC insists that it is an Ad-Hoc connection (no DHCP) and when I try to use Infrastucture (with the wep key), my PC cannot establish association (get IP address from the HD2) and it shows no signal level.
Please assist.
Zolom, thanks? I did that and it improved a bit the situation: now email clients work (pop) but web surfing still doesn't work. I didn't try yet other internet connections.
not working anymore
before i installed 1.48 everything worked perfect but after the upgrade it doesnt work anymore. now my computer can connect but the phone also connects to its own network.... very strange behavior.... tried to turn off wifi but that also turns off router. any suggestions anyone?
Voila I finally got rid of the "HTTP 403 Forbidden" error with a (partial?) solution.
I have installed user agent switcher (http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/installed/07/) for Mozilla on Windows Vista, and I entered the user agent of my ISP on my HTC HD2 . It works!
Questions:
- Is it possible to set the user agent on other browsers such as IE or Opera?
- I noticed the user agent is not necessary for pop3 email clients. Is user agent mandatory for other internet services, like Messenger, SIP, Skype, software updates, etc?
