I posted this in network forum but I don't think anyone reads that forum so I thought I'd try my luck here....
I'm trying to connect to a network share that is on a domain controller so uses domain level security/authentication instead of regular local computer authentication. When I try to connect to the computer I get an Action Failed message "Cannot connect shared path. The specified network resource or device is no longer available."
I checked through event logs on the server and it looks like the login/authentication went through just fine but the wm device seems to be rejecting it somehow....
Does anyone know what I might be able to do to fix this? Kind of a pain, I would like to be able to connect to my server's shares.
Thanks
and again no one replies
*cry*
How are you attempting to connect to the server shares?
Using what method?
PocketLAN?
I.E.?
Even though you authenticate against AD there should be a local administrative account on that box, try logging on using it. Also what are the permissions on that share, do you have access to it and is your account part of that domain?
Just my $.02 try using z2 PocketLan..
I've used it for quite a while on my Axim, and now on my 6800.. It allows you to connect to a network share, you supply it with your login credentials (Active Directory) and save the connection. It also comes with a bunch of other handy stuff like an IP range scanner, ping, yatta yatta ..

I use Resco Explorer and it doesn't seem to have any problems at all connecting to network shares on our domain controller at work.
i just tried on my domain, i can connect to shares on other pcs and servers, but not on the DC, maybe theres a setting that doesnt allow connections from non domain members
and just FYI, domain controllers dont have any local accounts
ya no local accounts... local computer accounts work fine but it won't connect using domain accounts to authenticate...
I'm not sure if this is a setting on the DC for authentication or if there is something I need to do on the wm device?
Zenoran: You still haven't told us how you're trying to connect. I can't tell you how to do it unless you tell me what sort of program you're using, or whatever. Capiche?
I use z2 PocketLAN without issue, accepts DC auth no problem. Do you use PocketLAN?

Oh sorry! Using Resco File Explorer... are there others I should try? I bought that program because it seemed to do everything. Will give PocketLAN a shot.
hmmm tried pocketLAN and it only locks up when I try to click on that server... bad bad...
something really fishy here because even non-authenticated user should be able to browse that server and see public shares... no one else have issue? maybe it's a server 2008 thing?

lol ya... that's a wm6.1 thing.. ive never been able to get that to work either. no posts for it as well that i could see... i guess no one does much domain integration with their titans?

the domain enroll is a bit of an odd thing, i cant even find much documentation on it from microsoft, but from what i can tell it just integrates with an exchange server, provided the server has mobile device manager installed
im not even sure what features it enables
Have anyone tried connecting to VPN servers on their Galaxy Tab 7.7?
I have tested more than 3 VPN servers. (They all work on PC, iPhone, iPad, Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9, HP TouchPad). When I try to connect them on Galaxy Tab 7.7, it connects successfully but fail to let me do anything once the connection is made.
I have created 2 test accounts and please feel free to test it using them or your own servers... let me know how it go...
BTW, I tried restoring. no help at all.

Hi,
for PPTP you'll need kernel 2.6.35.x!
Otherwise you'll be able to get a connection but your data transfer will break down after 5sec-3min!
I will edit this post with a link to "Issue 4706: Droid phone PPTP VPN dying after a short while." after I'm allowed to.

are you saying that i need to upgrade my VPN server to kernel 2.6.35.x just for 7.7? just wondering cos my VPN servers (and many other VPN servers out there that I have tried) work for all other platforms, like Tab 10.1, iPad, Windows, OS X etc etc...
Yes I do. google botched PPTP for VPN.
But you need to upgrade (/downgrade) the kernel of your Android device (client), not the server. Or do you run your VPN server on Android???
You can search for "issue 4706" or "android PPTP VPN problem" and you will find a lot of pi**ed people and maybe some answers like kernel version and needed OS version.
I can confirm that it works with kernel 2.6.35 and since GB2.3.7 / CM7! Some say it works fine with ICS, but I found also that higher kernel versions will not work.
And yes, all other plattforms will work fine with PPTP.

thanks for the info. now for the million dollars question... how do you downgrade the kernel on Android? does this require flashing a new custom ROM? I couldn't really be bothered with custom ROM as I am waiting for the official ICS upgrade notification ... I guess the furtherest I am willing to go is to root my device and install some replacement kernel (if this is even possible)...
I know linux but my main device is an iPad so I am just too lazy to spend too much time backing up / reinstalling the Android for custom ROM... anyway thanks for your time...

Yeah, that's it, BUT I would wait - like you mentioned - for the ICS upgrade and try than again.
Or you try another protocoll like L2TP over IPSec…

L2TP over IPSec was a bit weird too. the server address has to be an internal IP for it to connect, giving it an external IP or domain won't work. God figures! oh well good thing it's not my main device so I won't stress much over it.

You are lucky, my MS2 is my main device and has a locked bootloader and only a 2.6.32 kernel .
I solved the VPN problem by changing to CM7, which wasn't possible for a long time, and using OpenVPN/SSL now.
Lucky me.

mmm... we know how to setup the VPN here. just saying that the VPN never worked on any PPTP servers I tried
I have the 6800 and pptp for me works well over wifi. On mobile, I have the same problem you encountered, meaning while I can connect fine I cannot initiate any data transfer. Hope ICS will fix this problem.

thanks for the info. for me (on the wifi only version) vpn won't work on wifi
I also have the wifi only version, I connect de VPN, works for a while and suddenly stops transfering data althought the connection appears as established. To make it work again i have to disconnect and reconnect.
Just for your info - I got a L2TP VPN connection working just fine on my P6810 Wifi-only Tab. Not sure whether it is just the VPN service (AceVPN) I'm using, or whether I was just lucky.
My wifi tab is an import from HK, Kernal version 2.6.36-P6810ZSLA1

Rubbish -- I use it all the time w/ gotrusted...
For anyone interested in data security the ability to encrypt network traffic is obviously important-- especially in light of the myriad of recent well publicized reports of private and government electronic snooping. It is also relevant to mention that to date no one has come close to cracking "TwoFish" encryption which can be used by SSH. With this in mind, consider the following tutorial which describes a method for encrypting all 3g, 4g, and Wi-Fi data, thus beefing up phone and personal data security.
Setting up a global SSH Tunnel on Android phones
This tutorial assumes the reader possesses a fully configured SSH server and rooted phone. In lieu of a server, (eg., the reader only has only a Windows-based operating system), research into CYGWIN is recommended. I use CYGWIN to run my SSH server and I have found that it is the most robust option for Windows users; however, setting this up on Windows can be a daunting task.
Setting up global SSH Tunnel on Android
1. Download 2 apps from the Google Playstore: ConnectBot and ProxyDroid
2. Install ConnectBot and ProxyDroid on your phone.
3. In ConnectBot set up Port forwards for your SSH connection. For "Type" field use "Dynamic (SOCKS)." For “Source Port” use 56001 or any local port not being used. The reasoning behind using port 56001 is this: System Ports (0-1023), User Ports (1024-49151), and the Dynamic and/or Private Ports (49152-65535)
4. Open ProxyDroid and configure as follows:
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 56001 (or the port you chose to use in step 3)
Proxy Type: SOCKS5
Global Proxy: Check the box
The above procedure accomplishes several things. First, ConnectBot remotely connects to your SSH server. Next, the ConnectBot connection forwards to the local port 56001. ProxyDroid then redirects all network traffic through the localhost on port 56001. Once you are connected through ConnectBot and ProxyDroid is activated all of your data will be tunneled through the encrypted ConnectBot session. This is an excellent way to set up a global proxy because it does not require manual configuration of any applications to connect through the proxy. You can test the functionality of the connection by opening up your phone browser and performing the Google search: What is my IP. If the proxy is functional you will see the WAN IP of the network of your SSH server. Additional and more thorough testing can be done with packet sniffers such as WireShark.
An application called "SSH Tunnel" is an alternative to accomplishing the above. However, I find ConnectBot and ProxyDroid is more elegant and gives better control-- not to mention being more sophisticated/chic. When correctly performed the ConnectBot and ProxyDroid method encrypts all 3g, 4g and Wi-Fi data on your phone. This is obviously useful for phone access of sensitive materials especially using unfamiliar or alien network connections. With the current proliferation of identity theft via electronic snooping on mobile devices I do not advocate using cellular phones for any banking or electronic transactions without setting up a robust and reliable encrypted connection.
I'm having trouble with this exact setup on Android 4.3 with DNS Proxy (proxydroid) enabled in China. When DNS Proxy is enabled, no traffic will come through at all. If I disable DNS Proxy, it works but without proxied DNS requests, I can't get to Youtube/twitter/FB.
Any ideas?
SSHTunnel for 4.2.2 is a much better alternative than running 2 separate apps and I still use it on my 4.2.2 tablet. But I don't want to downgrade my phone to 4.2.2 just for this

Unfortunately, I have not done any testing with android 4.3 yet so I'm not sure why the dns request wouldn't be proxied. I'll look into it and get back to you.

So I finally had a chance to upgrade to 4.3 this week. I tested the dns proxy with proxydroid and it seems to be working fine. What rom are you using? I'm on Sacs rom and I would highly recommend it. Heres the link:

I have been looking for a new way to setup SSH tunneling since the app "ssh tunnel" from the Google Play store stopped working with Android 4.2+
I can't wait to try this out..

Thank you Dr.Tautology
I was searching a big time for the solution you gave me.
First I was using SSHtunnel app from google play and it worked on my note 3 SM-N9005 (rooted) with jb 4.3. After upgrade to 4.4.2 kitkat (rooted) I could connect but there was no changing to my home ip in the browsers that I use with surfing by example to whatmyip . I also have a tablet "nexus 7" 2012 version upgraded also to 4.4.2 and on this device SSHTunnel is functional and the ip is changing??? I did not understand. Now I was searching for alternatives for my galaxy note 3 and I've found ssh connectbot and proxydroid. After I added the settings that I always used with dyn socks5 port 11723 on both programs.... -> connection to my DD-WRT router (with connectbot) was also possible. I also booted proxydroid and again after running chrome or firefox I still had the same ip so it didn't work.... Now I've found your post and read that the socks5 port must be above 49152. I changed the ports on both programs to 56001 in ('connectbot and proxydroid) and BAM! Connected with my home IP from outside my home :laugh:
The weird thing is that it worked on JB 4.3 with socks5 port 11723.
Now my woking SSH tunnel config -> Host = home-ip:7500 (default port = 22 in DDWRT)
user to connect to DD-WRT router = Root
password = Router password
dyn proxy socks5 port = 56001 as you suggest.
I have an app from my isp that I only can use with my home ip so I had to be home and connect by wifi. Now it's possible again with tunneling
Now the only thing that I have to do is thank you. :victory:
Never thought that the port number should be the problem.
Best regards DWroadrunner
I managed to set this up using SSH Tunnel for android. However I would like to use SSH Autotunnel as it's supposed to handle network changes better and is also more light weight. Does anybody know what type of private key this programm accepts? I have had no luck using putty keygen and the id_rsa I created in ubuntu does not seem to work either.
Glad to help!

Hey DWroadrunner,
That's great news! I'm very happy that my post helped you, as my intention was to provide all the necessary information to do this in one place. It's not always the case that a user port wont work, but unless you are big on port level security it's not easy to determine if/when the port is being used. This is probably why 11723 did work for you, however it's always better to go with a dynamic/private port range. Also, if you want a simple way to improve the security of your ssh server change the default port from 22 to something else. You'd be surprised how many attempts to connect will be made by attackers on a daily basis.
Regards,
DocTaut

Hello,
I've used auto tunnel a handful of times. Just wanted to check to see if you figured out what key it accepts. I will test it out when I get a chance.

Hi, the developer send me a mail saying that autotunnel should accept both private key types. None of them worked for me, though. He also suggested to try and paste the content of the private key into the bracket. I might give that a try. Edit: I can confirm copying and pasting the private key works. But it does not seem to transfer traffic via the the server, at least not the 3g traffic while using chrome. Edit 2: Turns out SSH Autotunnel does not use a socks proxy. Therefore secure browsing is not an option. The app is for secure pop3/ftp-server/smtp-server connections only. Thanks go to Matej for his kind support.
I've been using OpenVPN but I'd prefer to use ssh, as I have several ssh servers around the world, plus their pipes are bigger than my home line I have openvpn running on.
I have yet to get SSH Tunnel (apk) to work reliably; it randomly stops working and it's just a dead connection.
Using ProxyDroid unfortunately requires me to launch ConnectBot, connect ssh, then start the proxy. It'd be nice if ConnectBot could bring up the connection automatically, or ProxyDroid could do it. What I do right now is VPN unknown wifi connections and I can automate that with Tasker. I might look to see if I can automate connecting with ConnectBot then enable the ProxyDroid connection.
You can use ssh tunnels also with Drony if some proxy with authentication is involved. Works also on non rooted devices.

I think so, it's just firewall settings etc.. Unfortunately for me, I need stuff that doesn't support SOCKS so I've gone back to looking into a faster OpenVPN service.
But this is good for browsing and things that use http etc.

Do you have to login to the proxy or is it an open proxy? If it's open, you could see if you can find a OpenVPN server that listens on 80 or 443. Then use any OpenVPN client on Android and you can add/update config to match the directions here: https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#http
have a Galaxy S4 on verizon, and have a dual-stack IPv6-enabled LAN with Comcast-provided prefix delegation from the router. Every other device - Windows/Mac/Linux computers, iphones/ipads, Lumia 2520 windows tablet - has no problem pulling addresses & connecting to each other either using the link-locals or the global addresses. Except for Android. Using the app "IPv6 and more", it shows me pulling a proper IPv6 global address, but using the ping/trace tools in this app I am unable to connect to any other host on the LAN. I CAN connect to global addresses outside the LAN. The app (which looks pretty substandard IMHO) apparently runs 2 tests, "via API" and "commandline". The API shows any other LAN address as "NOT reachable". Global addresses on the internet show "reachable" via API, but still not from commandline. Additionally, the ES file explorer has the same problem connecting to LAN hosts; it can connect fine to an IPv6 FTP server i've setup elsewhere, but has no access internally.
Any idea what's going on? Is IPv6 LAN access broken in Android?

I CAN connect to global addresses outside the LAN. The app (which looks pretty substandard IMHO) apparently runs 2 tests, "via API" and "commandline". The API shows any other LAN address as "NOT reachable". Global addresses on the internet show "reachable" via API, but still not from commandline. Additionally, the ES file explorer has the same problem connecting to LAN hosts; it can connect fine to an IPv6 FTP server i've setup elsewhere, but has no access internally.
Any idea what's going on? Is IPv6 LAN access broken in Android?

Eh, can you ping from the command line to ipv6 addresses on the wan?
And what android version.
Also, the app is probably buggy.

do you mean "command line" as in a terminal emulator app? if so, ping6 isn't there and ping doesn't appear to support IPv6. (at least, no "-6" option)
and it is Android 4.3, non rooted.

Well, have fun with that. You could temporary root just to put the busybox binary on it.
Then remove su and its dependencies with the supersu unroot button.
Then busybox will have ping6.
Hello Gent and Lady SATV Enthusiasts,
I need a little assistance setting up a VPN on my beloved SATV. Searching through various forums, I understand that a number of users have had success using either OpenVPN for Android or Open VPN Client "Free" installed via sideloading.
I would like to get either up and running if possible with the VPN service Pirvate Internet Access. When using OpenVPN the program, I am able to create a new profile and select username/password authentication. However, when I attempt to "select" my CA Certificate, I get an error pop-up that says, "You don't have an app that can do this." A bit curious, as I thought that OpenVPN for Android would be able to do it itself. For those of you who were able to select your CA Certificate, did you have some other program also installed on your SATV? Or was there another trick to it?
As for OpenVPN Client "Free" I was able to complete the setup. However, when connecting, it would briefly connect, then go through a loop of reconnecting, authenticating, reconnecting, authenticating, etc.
If anyone can offer some help on the matter, I would be greatly obliged. Thank you!
For the openvpn client free, are you using Ethernet by chance? It will continually connect and reconnect if you do. It only works right on Wi-Fi, I think the app was built assuming there would be no wired connection.
With openvpn for Android, I haven't used it, but someone else said they used es file explorer to select the cert and selected the app to open with.
