[Q] Help with WPA Enterprise - G2 and Desire Z General

Hello,
I am trying to get my G2 to connect to the company wireless.
I've figured out how to install the certificates onto the phone, but the main question I have is, how do I know which certificate to use?
Is there a way I can find out which certificate my Windows 7 laptop uses to connect wirelessly? There are about 50 different certificates here and I'm not going to try every single one.

I use my Desire Z on my workplace WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise and didn't need to install any certificates on my phone, it just connected. When connecting via Windows machine our settings have "validate server certificate" disabled.
Really though the best way to get an answer for your particular setup is to ask your company's IT people/help desk

Dynamic DNS (DDNS) for Pocket PC!!!

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

Using Lan and Bluetooth ICS at the same time?

Good evenin' all! Hopefully my question(s) makes sense somewhat.
I have a laptop that I connect in via Lan at the office to a pretty locked down network. Only way to even get off the network is using IE with their proxy server. For example I can't even ping google.com.
Now I also have my Hermes connected to my laptop via Bluetooth ICS. If I disable the Lan card temporarily I can browse freely, yay!
Is there a way to tell windows (Windows Server 2003 to be exact) to try the lan and if that fails try the Bluetooth card?
If this is just an impossiblity, then is there a way to tell windows to use one lan adapter for internal addresses and the other adapter for external addresses?
If that again is a no go, then how about an easy way to switch between the two without having to disable the lan adapter over and over.
Also, does anyone know of any Proxy software that runs on WM5/6? That would at least get some web traffic rolling in.
Thanks for tips!
Theoretically, you could have all links up and running and give different weight (metric in Windows terms) to different gateways.
You can also manually setup your routing tables to do what you want.
That said, running a direct link without firewall with a Windows Server is never a good idea. God knows what might get in from outside.
And not to mention the troubles you will get for breaking your company's network access policies

Can't connect to my University Wireless network

hello, I can't connect to my university wireless secured network. I installed the certificate from their website http://itdfaq.aus.edu/faq/index.php?sid=2092887&lang=en&action=artikel&cat=5&id=133&artlang=en and i can see the network and when i press connect and put my username and password it tries to connect, but it does not connect and then it asks me again for my username and password. I think everything in the configuration is correct but when i press on properties i get this message "cannot log on to the wireless network. This network requires a personal certificate ..." I went to my IT Department but they didn't help me and told me that they are aware of this, but i don't know whether it's a problem in windows mobile itself or a problem from them. So please tell me if there is anything i can do in order to be able to connect to that network.
I didn't develop or change anything in the device so you can say it's like the new one. I searched for an answer but noting till now and i'll keep searching.
So Plz help

I doubt you can connect to it using your windows mobile phone. I didn't go through the link you provided but I assumed your university requires its own certificate to keep track on students'/staffs' usage. And of course, to make sure you don't download porn/pirated stuff.
In my case (my uni in Melbourne), they have a similar system as they impose a limit to our usage (slightly more than 1gb for one sem if I'm not mistaken). Furthermore, the faq section teaches you how to set up secure wireless access on vista, xp and mac only so i suppose it only works on these 3 operating systems.

Hmm... I can connect fine to my uni network and they also require a certificate, but it was downloaded automatically the first time I logged in. The network at my university is WPA2 and I'm using Dutty's WM 6.5 Leo R6.
You said that you didn't change anything, so maybe could it also be that the stock 6.1 ROM doesn't support this?

Remote Desktop Help

So I want to use remote desktop on my TP2 to connect to my laptop at home. I've done all the requirements to allow to use this feature; I've enabled port forwarding in my router settings and I have enabled remote desktop on my laptop's Windows 7 system properties. And on my TP2 I enter my ip address for the "computer" field, my Windows 7 account user name in the "user name" field (I only have 1 account on my laptop and it is admin), and the account password in the "password" field. After all of this, my TP2 will still not connect to my laptop. At this point I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. Can anybody help?
Does your computer has public IP Address?
Yes. I go to www.whatismyip.com and it displays my ip address. I've tried entering this address in the "computer" field as well and nothing.
you'll need to forward port 3389 through any router you may be using (check out portforward.com)
you'll also need to enable RDP connection on the machine through System>Remote.
there are 1001 guides you'll find with a quick google, its not a phone specific thing.
edit: ive previously found that the WM RDP client wont start a 'net connection itself. if you find the same, just do it manually through com manager or check ur mail etc.
Did you forward port 3389 to the internal ip address of your laptop?
Do you have a software firewall on the laptop that may be blocking access?
First try to figure out where the error occurs.
Try to connect to your pc, using an other pc ( from outside )
If it works, it must be a setting in your mobile device.
If pc also doesnt work, it should be a port problem, in that case, try using hamachi..
Oh, and check if you dont have a blocking program, or firewall .. like suggested above
Does my phone need to be connected to wi-fi in order to use remote desktop or will it just use my carrier's data service?

it will use any data connection available, no need to connect to wifi if you have data plan activated.
some tips:
1. you must have NAT (port forwarding) configured in your router
2. If your router has public IP address on WAN port, then point 1. is just sufficient if you are on some routed network, than you need to ask your provider, maybe you will be lucky
2.1. (here are network ranges used as private, only for identification)
from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
from 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
from 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
3. point 1. specification - enable NAT from WAN port to local IP address of your computer, specific port is TCP 3389. Also is good to make a reservation on DHCP server for this PC.
4. you need to enable remote desktop on your PC
4.1. computer properties - remote desktop setup - and its middle line on remote desktop settings
4.2. click "choose users" and check if your account is listed
Thanks alot to everybody's help! Your advise allowed me to get this things working, I really appreciate it. I had the port open and had remote desktop enabled on my computer but the thing that was killing me was I had the windows firewall on and my ESET Smart Security firewall on as well. Once I disabled them I was able to make the connection. What a head ache those firewalls gave me. I thank you all once again for your assistance.
I want to remotely access my PC from TP2, what software do I need to install on my phone?

The answer depends on what you have available to connect to. Your network (if any exists) and the machine/OS you want to connect to.
If you could let me know the following, I'll see if I can help:
How you machine's connected to the net. (for example, mines something like PC>Router>Cable modem>outside world).
The operating syustem in use on your PC. Specifically please, the edition and version is important to know. Mine's Windows 7 Ultimate, for example.
but, to cut a long story short: if you're not using a home edition of one of the recent windows OSs (XP and later), I'd suggest Remote desktop's the best way to go. There's a .cab knocking around here if you don't already have it on your phone and the PC end's described in the 'Configure Remote Desktop' and 'Configure Your Router' bits of this page: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/northrup_03may16.mspx (ignore the other sections, they're not relevant unless you're running IIS)

I have a WIFI Router installed, have a laptop with VISTA ULTIMATE and PC with XP Professional.
I am already able to RD my laptop from my PC.
I want to RDS my laptop from my phone via the same network/WIFI. I think it is pretty simple.
This is what I am doing
I have installed Remote Desktop Mobile
I have connected to WIFI
when I run Remote Desktop Mobile & enter my laptop's name, with username and password and click connect, connecting remains on top and is not connecting it. I am not in any domain, do i have to leave the domain name empty?
if you're not using a domain, leaving it blank's right.
Does it just time out on your phone?
Do you get the same if you try connecting via IP instead of your machine's name?

I am able to connect from my pc.
When I try to connect from my phone either by IP or computer name, it does not even time out, it just remains stuck at Connecting...
Nothing happens after 5 minutes, even no error message appears.

Your laptop seems to be configured well ( you can access it using the pc )
So it must be a setting in the phone. You sure it is connected to wifi , maybe it stays on 3g ) Or maybe your laptop only allowes 1 ip to connect ( the pc's ip )
I am even able to connect to my laptop over internet as the port 3389 is fwd.
Do I have to configure anything on my phone other than installing that cab file?
Or maybe the cab file I've installed is corrupt or something, can someone please share the cab file?

[Q] HELP - moto milestone 2.1, wifi EAP, certificates?

Hi,
I m trying to connect to my work wifi EAP but with no success. I heard a solution was to get your a certificate installed on your device.
Now, i also have a work laptop which can connect to the wifi. if we bring our own personal laptops, they do not connect. So i was thinking if i could somehow grab the certificate from my laptop and install it on my device, i would be able to connect to the wifi?
Any ideas on how to?
thanks
