MyLastIP version 1.2
I made little modification to this small little tools recently.
For whom:
If you are always on the move and wants to access your home PC via remote access or VPN, but everytime you reconnect to your broadband connection, the IP is different.
How it works:
Copy the MyLastIP client and run from your PC. You can create a shortcut and place it on your windows startup folder. You can manually trigger the client to update your IP or make a recurring update. So, in case when your modem reset, your latest IP will be updated at the next interval.
Your IP will be updated to the webserver. So all you need to do is retrieve your last IP address from: http://www.kreees.com/MyLastIP
For those who use their Terminal Service from their PPC, it's useful to make this a shortcut in your Pocket IE.
Find out more: http://www.kreees.com/MyLastIP
P/S: This program may not work on certain DSL connection where IP address broadcasted is not your PC public IP.

Any chance this can be modified to include a location box to specify where to upload the IP address too? Most people get a few Mb of space on there ISP's servers with an address that remains static, if this program uses the FTP protocol to upload the IP address it would be really handy to enter a new location and specfy a log in username and password.
Regards

I'm sorry gooroo, I didn't quite catch what you mean. Could you give me brief scenario of how you would like it to work?
I developed this little tool 2 years back when I first got the Xda II and wanted to do Terminal Service Client. So, it is rather no frill for the time being.

In fact, I can modify the program to work in this way, but ONLY if you want your home PC to be accessed like a web server.
On your PC, MyLastIP will constantly update the site of its latest IP address. And any of your friends or clients who would like to visit your website at home, will just need to key in something like http://www.kreees.com/sites/gooroo, then it will redirect them to whatever your IP is ... http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Is that what you mean?

Yeah, so I could run a web server, FTP server, terminal services or anything else for that matter. Instead of using your own server "www.kreees.com" I could use my one web space from my ISP to hold the link to my own PC.
So I am with NTL as my ISP, my webspace is something like http://homepages.ntl.com/~gooroo
your program uploads my IP as mylastip.html to ftp://homepages.ntl.com/~gooroo
I type http://homepages.ntl.com/~gooroo/mylastip.html then my IP appears.
Or maybe I can generate a mylastip.html on my PC and your program looks for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in the file and replaces it before uploadng the file via FTP to my ISP free web space.
Regards

sorry gooroo, my program doesn't work this way, the client on your computer does not invoke any ftp process at all. all it does is send a request to my site via http, and my server (IIS) does the capturing of your IP.

Stopping activesync running.

Is there any way to stop activesync starting up on the wizard as it slows my device down. I stop it in memory programs running and then dont use it to connect to the pc again. Then when I check again later on its running again.
Any way to stop this ?
Ive had a search through the forums but couldnt find anything.

there is an easy solution. I have mentioned this on this forum several times, but here it is again:
In Active Sync on your device, go to menu-Configure server. Then put in a fake server address and leave all other settings as they are. tap next untill you come to the screen that asks which items you want to sync. uncheck all checkboxes that indicate which items are synced with the Exchange Server and finish the configuration. Then go to menu-schedule and set the sync options both to manual. Now Active Sync will not start automatically to try to make contact with an Exchange Server, which is the cause of the problem.

You forgot to mention after you setup the fake exchange server and set the options to manual.. after it times out attempting to connect to the server you can simply delete the server. The manual setting remains.. thus no more activesync in the background issue.

I tried mine, where it said 'Add Server Source', I create some address, but it didn't register. Everytime I tried Menu, it still ask for adding server source. Also, the Schedule option is not highlighted.
Anyhelp how to go about?
Thanks.

Yep. Although, you have to re-do it after every cold boot or soft-reset.

You have to fill out all the boxes, including "domain". Once a server has been added, the schedule option will no longer be greyed out.

[Q] Android VPN settings: how to add the Port of the server?

Hi!
Does anybody know a trick on Froyo to set a port number for VPN servers?
My VPN connection requires port 443, but if I set the VPN server address with ":443" at the end, when I try to connect to it, I have "ATTENTION: server name cannot be resolved"
It looks like it only like VPN server addresses without any port i.e. it used port 80 by default. I'm really surprised it cannot be added.
I tried L2TP, PPTP and L2TP/IPSec. Same issue.
FYI: I can connect without problem to other VPN servers that use port 80.
thanks a lot for your comments.
[I'm running Froyo on HTC Desire]

Hi!
Isn't there anybody that faced/faces this problem?
It's unbelievable that one cannot specify the port of a VPN server in Android settings!
Thanks for any tips.

As far as i know you cannot set the port used by PPTP or L2TP.

Hi,
Tada! I've found out how to force the use of a port number in L2TP and PPTP VPN configurations:
after you've input the server's IP address do not use ":" but just a space character before imputing the port number
e.g. 10.245.123.456 443
It also works with iOS VPN config, and of course any kind of ports which are supported by your VPN service provider's servers (443, 8000, 1194, 8292...).
Enjoy!

Hi, there is some solution for android 6?
Space is not suitable.

Same problem. Android pie

The reason why you're getting the "ATTENTION: server name cannot be resolved" error is because Froyo is trying to resolve the VPN server address as a hostname, but the port number is preventing it from doing so. If you remove the port number from the VPN server address, Froyo will be able to resolve the hostname and connect to the VPN server.

[Q] Incorrect exchange password after each "interupt'

all,
since this morning I'm the proud owner of a HTC 7 trophy. After some hassle to get my personal exchange certificate on the device, I have the following annoying effect - exchanges looses its password - uncrecoverable unless reseupt of email account on the device.
I set up the exchange connection correctly with the "advanced option" etc - everything runs smoothly, mail sync, calender sync, contacts etc...
however, after each sms, call or whatever, it seems the connection is lost by some means and I get the error "exchange password incorrect" and I'm prompted to re-provide my password. Entering the password does not solve the issue (I keep on getting prompted for the password), only removing the email account on the phone and resetup helps, till the next "interupt" of a sms or a call. Very annoying.
Anyone experienced this and knows a solution?
thx

Sounds like certificate issue to me.
A colleague of mine had almost same problem as you on his laptop. After every restart of his laptop he had to enter password. I gave him proper certificate and his Exchange problems gone.
So, first check your certificate.
There is another possibility. I can access my exchange server using two different addresses, but only one of them is covered by my certificate. I need to use the one from certificate.
If you are sure that your certificate is good, check if your server address match your certificate.

thx, any idea of what the certificate issue could be? (so I can try to give some more dierection to the exchange guys here?)
(I'm using the certificate generead for my login and server name is correct)
Strange is though that on my P3300 (WM6.1) with the same certificate, it works like a breeze...

That sounds very strange. Now I am confused.

How does your Exchange account tile looks like?
Like Outlook or Google mail tile?

The exchange account looks like your outlook tile...
In the mean time I use my WM6.1 device again and I noticed that indeed there I had te re-enter my exchange password again as well after reboot (so not after each interupt) which is then nicely accepted by exchange...
My trophy is back in the box until I have a solution - little disappointment...

Exchange tile should look as Outlook tile, that's good.
Asking for password after reboot on WM6.1 - NOT GOOD! If it happens every time after reboot, than you have certificate problem or server address you use is not covered by your certificate. You have same problem on both devices, but because the way WM6.1 works you do not see a problem as often as on WP7 device.
Copy your certificate file on your PC. Double click that file and certmgr will open. You will see Certificates - Current User, and a folder with name of the file you just double clicked. Open that folder and you will see Certificates folder inside. Open Certificates folder and you should see what is in your certificate file.
In Issued To you should see name of your server, for example exchange.yourcompany.com
In Intended Purposes you should see Server Autentification
Also check Expiration Date.
To have VALID certificate, you need to see exact address that you use and date should be some date in the future.
Hope this will help to resolve your certificate issue.
btw. that is not my phone in the picture (that's not trophy after all), I just wanted to be sure that your account is set up as Outlook (because it should be that way).

mmm, thx for the tip...
what I see is that the certificate is not issued to the server, but to my userid and the intend is "proves your identity to a remote computer"
my I do need to install the corporte root certificate as well..

You need the one that says "Ensures the identity of a remote computer", and that one is for your server.

I only have the one I mentioned above, the corporate root certificate is for the correct policy.
I wondering though what the differnce is between "proves your identity to a remote computer" and "ensures the identity of a remote computer"
any message i could give to the tech guys over here?

Those two certificates do opposite things.
The one you have is to assure your server that you have right to use that user and password, something like: "yes he is the one he is telling you he is".
Another one (the one I have) is to assure that your server is the server that should receive your user and password, something like: "yes that is the right exchange server, feel free to send my data to it anytime you want".
I hope it's clear now.

very clear - thx, but no clue what to do now ;-)

Open your Exchange server from browser.
https://exchange.yourserver.com (or whatever your exchange address is.
If you use Chrome, you will get red or green lock, depending of address of server that you use for that, and certificate installed on your PC. Green one preferred.
In any case, click on that lock.
Something like "The identity of this website has been verified by ..."
And you have Certificate information link, click on it.
You will see "Ensures the identity of a remote computer" in purposes.
Issued to should be address of your Exchange server. Be sure that you use that address, and not any other one to connect on your devices.
Click on detail, and then Copy to file. You will see export wizard. Click Next. Any format should do. Finish the wizard and you will have certificate on your PC.
There is no difference what you should do in case of red or green lock. Only difference is in the displayed message. In case of red lock you will see something like "The identity of this website has not been verified." That probably only means that you used some other address for server than the one that have certificate. In worst case it means that certificate is not valid.
Easiest way to transfer it on the phone is to put it on some website. I have mine on one of companies websites in password protected folder, so I can open it over IE on my mobile at anytime. Another way is to send it to your e-mail. Or do whatever you did to transfer first certificate.
Install on phone, try and let me know the results.

it's crystal clear, howevern, I have no clue what to do know .... ;-( (besides using my old artemis...)

Have you downloaded certificate from your exchange server and install it to your phone?
If you do not understand my previous post (with details how to get your certificate), you have 3 choices:
1. You can ask someone to help you to follow the steps I explained in my previous post.
2. You can ask your IT to give you certificate that will assure identity of your exchange website.
3. You can send me PM with external address of your exchange server, and I will download certificate and send it to you.

thx!
I spoke to they IT guys - they acknowledge the issue.... and will work on it.
i installed the certifacte via the procedure i've been told... (adn again on my other device it works like a breeze...)

https links

i want to access https links
but it says you are unauthorized without popping for username and pass
Which browser can handle https?

Use Dolphin Browser... It supports HTTPS Links....

I tried dolphin and opera mobile
even tried changing their user agent to desktop
but of no use...

Might be a network restriction, have you spoken to your operator?

try deleting the values under "proxy' and "port" in your apn list. save new apn and try loading the https pages again.

This has nothing to do with either the browser used (the stock one does support https!), or the fact that the page is HTTPS.
The page you are accessing simply requires authentication information. Without that you cannot go any further.

I was working on the assumption that he was trying to access a page he already had cridentials for. Go to this page https://msp.f-secure.com/web-test/common/test.html. if the page doesn't load you have a problem if it does all I can say is doh

If your are trying to access secure pages from facebook, twitter or something similar, make sure you have enabled this option from your account using your pc. Some media platforms require that you activate the option of signing in from unknown devices.

Https does not prompt for credentials - it never has and never will. Credentials have nothing to do with secure connections. It must be the website/webpage that you are visiting that requires this information.
Can you give us the URL that you are having problems with?

I'm asking this because if you use a proxy then all the requests processed are sent to it and the S/W (firewall) authenticate the request. In case of a intranet site say a sharepoint portal it requires windows authentication to proceed.
In a desktop browser or maybe a Symbian env (not sure) it may prompt for a username password but in case of android all such authentications fail.
I've been looking for a workaround on this don know yet.
Need more digging
