HI,
First I got Windows 8 Pro x64 on my desktop.
As in many other cases when I connected to VPN server my local connection showed "limited" status (connection to router is via lan cable)
This meant that some of the Modern UI apps did not work (reported no active connections) but some did.
Luckily most of the ones I wanted to use (Netflix) had no problem.
Other ones (Hulu) i could "cheat" by using browser instead of app.
Good thing that browsers in Desktop Mode worked just fine - no issues whatsoever.
Yesterday I bought Asus TF810c (tablet/hybrid) with Windows 8 32bit on board.
VPN connection has been setup the same way as on desktop (or Windows 7 previously).
Problem is that ALL apps in both modes do not work
All apps in Modern UI as well as (and this is much worse!!!) browsers in desktop mode.
I really do not know what to do . This also means that I have lost a lot of usability for this device and system - it was supposed to replace my old iPad.
No it can not any ideas what I can do about it?
I was hoping by now MS will fix this problem as it is reported by (all???) a lot of people that use VPN in Windows 8.
Please, have some good news! I need at least browsers to work...
Anyone has any contact with MS engineers and can ask them about it?

I wonder if anybody could help me? What it is, is that I am disabled. My fingers are paralysed, and so working the intricate parts of the XDA is quite difficult. It is not impossible, but it is hard.
I also have several friends who are in the same situation as me. 12 months ago they were given xda 2 each for free. None of them have used them much because they are difficult to use, because they are stuck in their ways, and because I don't think they really realise the full potential of these little devices. It has took me 12 months to get hold of one of these, but just within a few days I'm quite bowled over with the potential.
So I wonder if somebody would be prepared to lead me through making the most of my XDA, with my disabilities, so I can also share this knowledge with the other disabled guys who also have this Pocket PC?
The first thing I want to do is set up the basic software, to maximise connectivity with my home network. I have already started this, and had some help in this direction on this forum, but I am still a bit stuck.
I have loaded this Pocket PC software onto my xda 2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=17410&highlight=jojo . I have windows XP on my desktop computer. This is hardwired to a 3Com wireless router. I have bought a SDIO wireless LAN card. When you install the software, it virtually sets its self up, the connection displays itself, you select it and have a choice between a Internet connection or a work connection. If I choose work, I am able to connect to the Internet and surf the Internet, but I am not able to do an active sync. I have gone into my start menu/settings/connections/network card/network adapters/socket WLAN SDIO V1 driver /name server and set the WINS to the IP address of the computer I want to connect to as somebody suggested to me, but it doesn't work. I also cannot see the other shared directories on my computer's on the network. (I do have Norton security on, but I have tried these with Norton security disabled.)
Can anyone make a suggestion?
Thanks in anticipation, funny keyboard.
Hello,
I am on an HP Folio 13-1020us running the Windows 8 Consumer Preview 64 Bit. The Wifi can see the networks but it cannot connect to the schools network. I can connect off campus just fine, and I can connect without any trouble in Windows 7
This is very inconvenient for me, but its more difficult to handle considering my friends old Sony laptop has been able to successfully connect through wifi, so I know that it is not because "its just beta"
I am at Western Oregon University, where we use a WEP2 network. I have been to our IT guy and he patched me through as an exception, so theres no problem on the network end.
So far I think I have honestly read every single forum and answer to this, on campuses or not. Please if anyone has any ideas that would be great! But please don't list "Try uninstalling then reinstalling drivers, or updating them" I have the absolute latest drivers to all the components so far.
I have also tried to try the disable Mini Virtual Wifi Port, or whatever it is named, but it does not show up in my networking list.
Thank you very much!
Does your campus have an unsecured guest network? try that if it does.

No it does not but I tried at a Starbucks. No problem whatsoever. and tried with my phone. Also working but not reliable enough on the phone end to use full time
Double-check with your college's IT department and see if they blacklist/whitelist operating systems. Could be Windows 8 CP is getting blocked by the internet security.

Thats what I thought as well, but my friends laptop works on wifi on windows 8
Did you ever figure this out? I'm considering upgrading to Windows 8 here at BYU but we use Cisco and if my WiFi isn't going to work I can't upgrade.
Hey guys, this is the noob here. I was foolish enough to go to iOS forums looking for answers but quickly found they're, let's just say, unfriendly. Anyway, my issue revolves around iDevices dropping the PAN connection with Windows Mobile phones after 20 seconds. Is there a registry edit on the WM side to fix this? It's not the ICS app because my ES400 works perfectly on both my Windows 7 laptop and my Mac desktop (OSX 10.6). The PAN connection doesn't fail with an iPhone though. Some Androids like the DX2 work perfectly as well without root or 3rd party apps. This is baffling because I'm not about to give up my ES400 anytime soon.
Same problem here - any closer to solution?

Hi,
I have the same problem here. Got a new iPad for a business project and it will connect OK to an Android phone via Bluetooth PAN (even if phone not connected to internet) and the connection will stay open. However in our case we are trying to connect to a Windows CE 6 device and this exhibits the same behaviour. After around 20 seconds the bluetooth connection is closed even though before it closes you can use Safari and get a webpage up.
Windows CE is closely related to Windows Mobile so hopefully finding a solution in one will also work in the other.
Hello. First of all I want to apologize for my bad English... I'm still learning it. Second of all, this problem is appearing on any device I try to connect to my PC's Wifi Hotspot, but to be specific:
- Huawei Ascend Y511
- Samsung Galaxy Y (GT5360, not really sure for that one, I don't have access to check the exact model)
- Vonino Sirius QS (Tablet)
- Prestigio Quantum Multipad 4 (9.7" / Tablet)
- Samsung Galaxy Tab3 8.0
- Samsung Galaxy S4 / S5
- LG G Flex
(I have a hobby to collect different phones and tablets, yeah... it's crazy I know )
Recently I installed Windows 7 on my laptop because the old windows XP was bugged completely... The only working components were the browser and the Bluetooth (Which is not working currently). First of all I tried to start a wifi hotspot from the networking and sharing center that comes with Windows 7, but I couldn't manage to do so. So I went to another option - softwares that enable the Wifi Hotspot on your laptop. The best result I got was Connectify, but I don't have the funds to buy it, so I used it temporarly (a week or so), and then it stopped working (Ethernet Sharing problems). Since then all the softwares I tried are starting the Wifi Hotspot, but when I try to connect every device gets stuck at "Obtaining IP Adress...". I tried looking for solutions, but I couldn't find anything that helps. I tried setting the IP adress to automatically obtain IP adress (The one in the change adapter settings tab in Control Panel), but then the network itself does not want to work. I ran out of ideas on how I can fix this...
Just some additional info: The local area connection is shared and the wifi is allowed, also the WLAN Autoconfig service is working properly.
Refresh IP

Try checking your IP Configuration and refresh the IP In the Windows Internet and Sharing Center.

Did that many times, but didn't work. I just hate Windows 7... it's the worst windows for network adapters -.-
I have a weird problem with my Samsung SM-T590. since I updated it's firmware to the latest Stock firmware. It has never been tempered with in regards to rooting.
I mostly just use it to stream movies form my Windows 10 pc. And that has been working just fine for months until now.
Until recently I had no issues at all and I noticed that a firmware update was available. So I let it update, which ran fine and everything seemed to be working fine.
I however now noticed that I'm unable to access any applications like DLNA or FTP or Remote Desktop on my main Windows 10 pc. All this used to work just fine before I updated the firmware. And I'm pretty sure that also after the firmware update, I had initially no issues accessing applications running on my pc.
I first thought, that the issue lies on my pc, and I made sure that firewall, IP's and ports etc. are ok. I can rule out any issues on my windows pc.
Troubleshooting so far:
Rebooting the Tablet.
Shutting off the tablet.
Assigning new IP's.
I tried accessing DLNA, FTP and Remotedesktop from another Andriod device (huawei) and my Iphone 6, and I can access the applications on my Win 10 pc just fine. That means, the Windows 10 pc is fine and the problem lies with the Samsung SM-T590. tablet. They are all on the same Wifi network.
Only my Samsung SM-T590 just times out If I want to connect to my Win 10 pc. The tablet behaves as if the PC wasn't found on the Network, while all my other devices can find my Win 10 pc just fine.
It was working fine for months in the same network environment.
Apart from that the tablet works just fine and can access internet over the same wifi network as the other devices.
I failed to find a solution and am out of ideas. Why is the tablet behaving suddenly like this? Anyone has observed such behaviour before? And has a solution?
