Hi all,
Has anyone succeded to browse a network share once connected by VPN to internal network over a data connection (not wifi, only 3G, gprs, cellular carried)? Over wifi it's possible using TC or even IE browser method.
It's strange that if i use vxutils or pocketlan i can ping the pc where that share is located, either by IP or NetBios name. I can even SSH over putty, or RDP using IP, not NetBios. All this is done when connect to VPN over cellular.
So my question is why doesn't that share appears, giving an error that the network path wasn't found?
It's obvious not because TC, since it works over wifi, and ping with vxutils or pocketlan recognizes netbios name. Why do these tools can use netbios and file browsers can't?
Can it be because it's using cellular line? Does anyone have any ideia why?

I am trying to establish a VPN connection but cannot get the connection to work.
I am using the built in MS VPN client of Win Mobile v5.0 (5.1.1700 build 14352.0.1.0)
I am having real problems getting a VPN connection set up with our network.
I have tried both PPTP and L2PT
When L2TP, I was authenticating with a preshared key
Firewall logs show PPTP negotiation successful, and issues a VPN IP address to the device
It can ping the firewall external interface, but times-out trying to reach an internal address
The VPN session is established, but the firewall logs don't register either deny or allow traffic for each internal ping request, rather the firewall packet error count increments for each failed attempt.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I had problems with PPTP - gave up
I hate the way Windows mobile labels connections.
I connect to many customers with PC Anywhere, VNC, SSH etc and I have access via serveral different windows PPTP VPN.
Like you I setup the details in connections and try to dial.
Nothing seems to happen. The connect option does not change to disconnect. So I assume it is not connected.
I have a feeling these connection do not work over WIFI. and perhaps work over T-mobile 3g only, to maximise data revenues.
Seems very buggy to me. I would really like someone to post a working example/Instructions. Can I get a refund on my MDA PRo?
MS please note it is not a connection to my work or an internet connection it is to a customer for remote support, likewise I often connect remotely to my home via PPTP from my office.
confirmed VPN works over t-mobile 3g not Wifi
SEems the VPN links only work over 3g not Wi FI.
I'm using a PPTP connection over either 3G of WIFI depending on te active connection.
- When WIFI is active the PPTP connection connects using WIFI (I can switch off the phone, so it must be using that one)
- When no WIFI connection is active it automatically connects to 3G first, and than starts the PPTP session
In network management I'v set:
Internet:
Internet (the one containing the 3G connection)
select 'this network connects to the Internet' on the proxy tab.
private network:
My Work (the one that contains the vpn connection)
do NOT select 'this network connects to the Internet' on the proxy tab.
So as you can see, nothing special (I'm using a Qtek 9000 with standard Wm5 ROM)
Hi,
I don't think this is currently possible but I do not see any reason why? Does anyone know if there is a 3rd party app to provide this?
Thanks,
Phillip
Possible ! (Well somewhat)
This is very much possible. I got it working as follows :
(1) Create a WiFi connection on Pocket Pc with ad-hoc feature and Open Security, make sure you select "Work" as the connection.
(2) Give the WiFi adapter on Pocket PC an internal address similar to 192.168.0.2 (255.255.255.0)
(3) On your PC/Laptop set WiFi adapter IP to 192.168.0.1 (255.255.255.0)
(4) You need a program like Pocket PC Proxy to be installed on the Pocket PC.
(5) Enable proxy settings on Laptop as 192.168.0.2:80 (or the port set on the proxy prog on ppc)
(6) Enable WiFi on ppc
And Voila ! You can browse internet using the connection on your ppc.
Hi,
Thanks, I will give this a try. However, I can't seem to find this piece of software (Pocket PC Proxy). Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Here you go...
Thanks for the download, I'm using an HTC Touch (Elf) with WM6. I can't seem to figure out how to create an ad-hoc wifi connection?
(Sorry to be a pain but i think that this will benefit others too!)
Ahaa, I managed to figure out how to create an adhoc network on the Pocket PC, I assigned it the correct IP (as above) and basically followed the instructions.
I'm actually trying to get my iPod Touch to connect to the net via the HTC Touch.
I iPod sees the wifi connection and connects perfectly, I can even assign the ip and subnet mask. However, I simply can not connect to the internet either with or without the proxy. Any suggestions on what I am missing?
THanks
What kind of an internet connection do you have on the ppc ?
- GPRS/EDGE ? Is it always connected/on ?
Got it working, you can ignore the following
Thanks!

Hi, here is everything I have done:
Connections, Internet
Modem: T-Mobile Internet, GPRS (UK, no edge)
Proxy Settings: This network connects to the internet
This network uses a proxy server to conncet to the internet
149.254.291.132
(This was all set by the phone when I switched it on)
My Work Connection:
Nothing set up here
WIFI
Add New...
Network Name: test
Connects to: Work
This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection
Authentication: Open
Data Encryption: Disabled
This seems to create an ad-hoc connection and sits there with 'Connecting' until another device connects to it.
Network Adapters
My network card connects to: Work
IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible WIFI....
Edit:
Use specific IP address:
192.168.0.2
255.255.255.0
(Everything else blank)
Wireless LAN
SSID: test
Mode: 802.11 Ad hoc
Channel: 11
When I connect two devices together the IP shown under advanced seems to read 192.168.0.21 (I think this should end .2 so not sure why it isn't)
If I connect my laptop I can 'ping' 192.168.0.2 and that works but both my laptop and ipod touch do not seem to be able to connect to the internet.
On the ipod touch I simply get 'Server not found' or something similar.
(I have remembered to run PocketPCProxy)
Yes, the GPRS is connected whenever I run PocketPCProxy.
I would really appreciate any help you can give, I really like using the browser on my ipod Touch but don't really want to go the whole hog and buy an iPhone because it is so tied down and restricted.
Thanks,
Phillip
I don't know what I have done but suddenly it works, now it comes up and shows the correct ip on my pocket pc.
Anyway, thanks for your help!
Hi everyone,
I have been trying to ad-hoc connect my PC (Lenovo X60s with XPSP2) to HTC Touch via WiFi to be able to share files and stream music.
It did connect and pinged ok, however the two just refuse to see one another on their networks.
Does anyone have any successful experience trying for the same?
Regards,
Madana
I tried this between my TyTN and TyTN II, the latter being the gateway, but the TyTN insists on still using GPRS for its internet instead of the wifi. Very annoying, and it's runing WM5 so (i dont think) you can't turn of the GPRS like you can with WM6.
Does anyone know how to make it use wifi, and wifi only for internet?
Thanks,
Sebastian
i have installed pocket pc proxy after a file called ......ppc3.arm.cab (i don't remember how it begins) but it doesn't work... any idea?

Hi Folks,
I am having trouble trying to access any SMB shares when connected through 3G(or 2G) to my VPN. The VPN connects, and using VXUtils I can see that Host names resolve correctly to IP for my network, I can ping by host name and IP to my devices and I can do an ip range scan and it finds all the hosts connected to my home network. I can use RDP to connect to my XP machine through host name (With or without using pocket hosts) and I can view the setting html pages of my router through internal ip's but I cannot access any shares! Just to make matters a little more complex, if I connect through a wireless network (using the VPN) everything works fine (assuming it is allowing pptp passthrough)!!!
Oh yes, and the VPN itself and forwarding on the router etc is all fine as laptops and desktops can connect remotely (and of course so can I).
It is a Vario 3 on T-mobile.
Any ideas anyone? All I want to do is be able to access my SMB file shares (on a mybook world edition) whilst out on the move.
Thanks.
Hi
Does anyone know how to do this?
I have tried with total commander and many others.
Has anyone got it working?
my purpose for it is streaming music from my pc and accessing documents and saved web pages etc.
P.S. I can connect to the internet over wifi, but not access any PC's on the network.
I am using the latest SE build R2
thanks in advance
its working just fine for me using total commander and gsplayer!
just using the //PC_NAME works perfectly in total commander. In fact, I`m using it right now!
hey i use the htc network plugin works just fine for me, i got a domain network with a win2k8 server and i m able to access all files on it streaming is also possible..
install and soft reset afterwards you got the network entry in settings/connections/NetworkPlugin where you can add computers which you can access afterwards with file explorer

Thank for this app.. works like a bomb!
nice to hear, that it works for you
Hi can you use this appplication to also access the internet via the pc's internet connection e.g. if pc is on a landline and xperia connects via wifi to the pc I want the xperia to be able to use the internet as well ..
do u know?
use a vpn connection to connect to remote network then the plugin should work with this connection and find the computers from the vpn network.. hope you understand what i mean
i am using bulletproof ftp and resco explorer.. resco explorer got possibility to add ftp connections.. so you have just to add port forward to your firewall and to connect to ftp.. if using a single server where all files are stored on it is a very nice alternative to share all things via ftp because you can access it from anywhere.. you need a dyndns hostname or something similar too, but i guess i dont have to say this
i use logmein and the cab works fine for me, i fix customers pc's from the x1 and they pay me for doin it via paypal
still no luck
ok
thank for the help so far
i am feeling really stupid.
i installed the network plugin. then reset and connected to my wifi network at home.
now I try add new or browse and it keeps saying map drive failed or no computer was found in the network.
Could it be my wireless network settings?
I am able to connect to the net
the Ip address is inline with that of my pcs and all the PCs can see each other.
I do not have a domian or VPN setup
Please help.
What am I doing wrong?
I have tried pinging my phone and it works, but if I try ping my Pc from my phone it doesnt work. I am using vxutil
I've been playing around and i noticed that I can ping my phone from my pc but i my phone cannot ping my pc ( doesnt find it). i am using vxutil
any firewall on the host pc? How do you try to connect? Through Hostname or with the ip,.. ? Never had such a problem but you can try to add the drives without browsing by just adding them with the path for example
//mynetworkpc(better you use the ip instead x.x.x.x)/sharedfolder
i think it should be a problem of your host pc i guess.. can you access it from other network computers? Try to ping it from another computer in your network, sounds like a firewall problem to me
Here is what I can do
1. Ping my computer and any other computer from any computer connected to both wired and wireless network
2. access the files on my computer from any other pc in the house
3. stream music to and from my pc to any pc in the house
4. ping my Phone from my pc
5. connect to the internet though the wireless network, using my phone.
What I cant do
1. ping my pc from my phone
2. connect to shared files on my pc from my phone
Let me know if there is something I am doing wrong or any settings to check or anything else I can do to get this working please
I found out some more info that might be useful
it has to do with IP addresses of the phone
Current IP
XPERIA
169.254.2.1
Adapters
NE20001 - NE2000 Compatible ethernet driver
IP Address : 0.0.0.0
TNETW12511 - IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wifi adapter
IP Address : 192.168.11.4
Subnet Mask : 255.0.0.0
Default Gateway :192.168.11.2
Primary DNS : 192.168.11.2
DNCP Server : 192.168.11.2
Now my pc's IP address is 192.168.11.9
My routers IP address is 192.168.11.2
Should I be changing the Current IP address?

I use Resco File Explorer2008. It sees my Vista x64 pc on my wireless net without a problem. I can map and explore any shared drives on it.
I also use a app called Iper. It sees all my net devices and pings them without a problem either??

You have logmein working from the X1? if so, how did you get this to work. This would be really useful for me
Ok I have installed IPer
I have noticed again the IP address for RNDISFN1 is 169.244.x.x and the Ip address for my network is 192.168.xx.x. could this be the problem and if so how do I change this IP address ( the phone)
I really want to get this working and all help will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!
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....
