VPN w/ RDP Issues - EVO 4G General

I had VPN working before the Froyo. After the update, it bombed. Did some research and found out that credential manager has to be enabled.
After enabling it, I can ping out from adb shell to any internal server on our network. Sometimes it will connect for about 2 seconds but very rarely.
I notice tho that when you hit connect, the tunnel dumps. Pinging stops and the connection log on the firewall shows it was disconnected.
Running ISA 2006 and nowhere in logs or live logging does it show any errors or issues.
VPN works fine from any laptop/pc with zero issues so I know it isn't a firewall issue plus I'm the admin so I can see any issues in the logs.
However, I can't understand why several different RDP clients all stop the tunnel when I try to connect.
Any ideas? Once the vpn is connected, I put the ip of the internal machine in the RDP client so it should work fine.

Unable to stay connected to VPN server via Wifi

I am not able to stay connected to Windows 2003 pptp vpn server.
When i look at the logs on the server, it indicates the pda2k authenticated, ip address assigned, then it immediately disconnects, no errors on the server and no errors on the devie either......this is puzzling.
any ideas?
thanks.
I have exactly the same problem. I can see the connection is established on the PC but it drops after about 3 seconds. Really bugging me now.
Iain
found any solution to this problem yet??

believe it effectively relates to the differences in the pocket pc using "internet" and "work" when choosing and establishing a connection type. internet expects "." in its addresses, whereas work doesnt and anticipates the use of Named addresses such as the name of your server, however, I dont find the DNS effective for this.
to allow it to work when the VPN is on a work connection, I think you need to use the exceptions tab, and insert the IP addresses you are using to connect as an exception to the rules, thus allowing 10.0.0.1 as an address if this the address to your server.
There are posts on this forum that are more specific, but this is the gist of it, search WIFI VPN or similar. Same method if using a VPN over GPRS.
I can connect after a softreset...it maybe work 1-10 times in a row...and then it just stops and dont work again...not until I do a softreset again!
I can go up on gprs and such and surf the net just fine...but not onto vpn.

Terminal Server/Remote Desktop connection over VPN?

I'm trying to connect to my server at work through the Jasjar's Terminal Services Client over a VPN and it's not working. The VPN connects and I can open up a web site on the server using an internal address, but the Terminal Services Client just times out. I can connect with the Terminal Services Client to other servers without using the VPN and I can connect through the VPN with a PC, so I don't know what's wrong. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Brett
are you using internal dns name or internal ip, if dns the ip should work and its cos your not internally resolving, i have this prob with when i vpn in to my server, dns does eventually resolve but ip is instant
Is the vpn terminal services restricted by IP address? Are you using gprs or wifi? If gprs maybe the ip range is not set up on the vpn??? If using gprs are you using the apn internet3.voicestream.com?
Sorry, I know, not much help. Mine seems to work
I'm trying to connect by IP address over wifi. The Jasjar does recognize that it should go over the VPN because it will automatically make the VPN connection when I try to start the TSC connection.
I'm glad to hear that it's working for you guys, though, so at least I know it's possible.
Thanks,
Brett
TSC/RDP
I am also having difficulty in this area and havent been able to resolve when using WIFI from my AP at home over ADSL to the Public IP address, then a TSC/RDP connection to the internal network IP address of our TS box.
I can easily get to the TS box via the WIFI AP at work directly, just not from the home AP. I can easily use the home AP for my home laptops to connect to work, so I know the systems at both end are up and operational.
In summary, I just dont know why the JJ doesnt VPN via the home AP over the ADSL to public IP to use the TSC to the internal IP of the TS box.
I just wanted to follow up on this. For some reason both of the servers I was trying to RDP into behind the firewall were in some wierd state and they weren't accepting any connections from anything but my desktop PC. I rebooted them today and that solved the problem I was having.
Thanks,
Brett

Cisco VPN + WM6 Internet Sharing?

Anyone get these two to play nice together?
Details:
Cisco PIX 501e at the office
WM6 3g phone (HTC TyTn II)
vista/xp laptop (working properly on either would be great right now )
VPN setup on the pix is, i believe, fine. I could be wrong tho, i set it up by trial and error + reading the manual having never even touched a cisco device before
It works tho and has worked flawlessly for months now with Cisco VPN Client on XP or Vista machines.
Old phone was WM5 and used the clunky and annoying modem emulator to enable a laptop to use it to connect to intarwebs in the middle of nowhere, this was great and after faffing about getting it setup worked fine (required you to be logged in as administrator on vista tho :\ and not just a user account with admin privileges, actually administrator. Annoying.)
New phone is WM6 and uses internet sharing to connect with a laptop, this is a much better solution with no faffing about in vista and XP
Problem: Cisco VPN client connects to the pix through Internet Sharing on the phone just fine, however no traffic gets through.
Cannot ping, web browse, dns, rdc or anything to the network at work. Tried with Cisco VPN client v4.6.00.0049 and v5.0.01.0600 on XP and v5.0.00.0340 on Vista, none work.
This sucks
Now, i know its not a problem with the laptop or the vpn software on the laptop as these work fine when connected over ethernet or wifi.
Its not a problem with the phone's 3g connection, i installed a trial of bluefire vpn client onto it and that connects to the vpn and works just fine when the phone is in standalone mode.
However for the life of me i cannot get the two bloody things to work together.
Plz halp
Hi,
Often times, the inability to ping a local host (computers or other connected devices e.g router, hardware firewall, printer, PPC, etc) or hosts, is due to the firewall not allowing traffic through the router. It can also be that the hosts are incorrectly configured to be on different subnets, even though they are local, as in your own case.
Proceed as follows to troubleshoot:
a). Ping the router
Note that the idea is to see if we can establish communication with the router or hardware firewall such as the Pix.
At command prompt (c:\>) type:
ping 192.168.0.1
(each router manufacturer uses a different default internal IP address for its router) - the one above is for a Netgear or D-Link router - for a Cisco router, you would need to know the Cisco IOS command - see your router manual for this.
b). ipconfig /all
Note: there is a space before the forwardslash.
When it returns the parameters, check to see that the IP addresses are all on the same subnet.
This is crucially important for you to take good note. If you are not able to ping a local host or gateway, it's most likely due to this.
c). Ping the Pix Firewall (using its IP address)
d). Ping a remote IP address, e.g. your ISP's gateway or DNS server
e). Is there traffic? If it returns successfully, then ping the other hosts, including the VPN client.
Pix Firewall
Check to see that the Access Control List is configured correctly by ensuring that the IP addresses of the connected hosts have been entered, with the relevant access rights.
Router
Log on to the router. Whilst there:
Ensure that the hosts (computers, etc) are all on the SAME subnet. If they are on different subnets, you must correct the IP addresses to reflect that they are on the same subnet.
Note: If you do really want them to be on different subnets, then you need to use a default gateway.
Hope this helps.

tilt and vpn issues over edge

i have isp.cingular provisioned and can connect some of the time.
1 vpn which goes to my home network works using vista as the vpn server connection. It does not always connect the first time though.
My work vpn which is pptp on a watchguard firewall, has 5% chance of actually connecting. Most of the error messages are talking about packets missing etc... When it does connect i cannot ping servers on the network but i see that the phone has a correct ip address and dns servers from the vpn. the gateway is the same as the ip assigned to the connection.
I have the same issue using the tilt over wifi from home where the vpn does not always connect at work.
I know the work vpn is fine since i use it all the time with vista's vpn dialup stuff.
Anyone got answers or ideas?

New to VPN, need help if you have a momment

I have a simple home net using mostly windows vista and 7 computers, some printers, external hd servers for backup storage and cameras in a workgroup static ip setup behind an off the shelf router. i set one of the computers as the vpn server since i dont want to buy a dedicated hardware vpn in a vista ultimate machine thats on 24/7 anyway with an incomming server... with the correct ports forwarded from the router to the vpn host.
my remote vpn laptop connects to the vpn fine and can see the network resources, however, has no internet connection once the vpn is connected. do i have to set the host vpn computer to do some sort of its own dns assignments to the incomming connection? its set for dhcp so i dont know why it would assign a valid IP to an incomming but not any other info.
in other words, on my remote laptop, i can connect to a random wireless internet hotspot and have full internet access. I can then enable vpn and log in to my home network and see all the network resources, however if i try to use an internet browser, there appears to be no internet. if i disconnect the vpn, the internet resumes to work fine and obviously the vpn resources are no longer accessable.
what am i missing? under incomming connection properties general tab, "allow others to make private..." is checked, under users the correct user is selected along with "require all users to secure...", and under networking ipv4 "allow callers to access..." is checked, and assign ip auto using dhcp is checked so I would think it should be working fine at this point, however it doesn list anywhere a gateway or dns to assine to incomming connections, only ip's.
host vpn computer is vista ultimate with static ip behind a retail router also assigned a static ip via my home isp.
the remote laptop is running ubuntu 12. just for kicks and to rule out ubuntu causing some problem, i set my android phone up for vpn use via 4g network, and the same thing happens. connects vpn fine, has local resources, but loses internet.
i also was curious as to having a vpn log in for the existing user account on the vpn host machine... in other words, should i just add the username on the host computer as a vpn client, and log in vpn using those credentials? and will that even work if that account is logged in, or will i have to remember to log out when im on the road to use the vpn connection.
thanks all!
