Connectivity VPN problems with WM6

I have been testing most of the WM6 version but impossible to stablish a connection using VPN. I create it but Activesync doesn't connect it. Do you have some problems?

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking but if you are trying to establish a VPN connection to a server through an activesync connection then it isn't a WM6 issue, WM5 won't allow a VPN connection through activesync either.
WM6's VPN does work, you'll need to connect through a wifi or 3G/GPRS connection to use a VPN as activesync won't allow VPN passthrough.

I didn't explain correctly, sorry. Previously I define at My ISP the gprs connection of my operator, and in My Work Network only the vpn details. Just when activate activesync, the system connect first to the isp and later the vpn.
did you check on wm6 with a vpn connection? what steps to define please?

To use your VPN you'll have to disconnect from activesync and use either your GPRS connection or a wifi connection to connect to your VPN server.
The exceptions only work for specific WM application, for 3rd party applications and (inc the Remote Desktop Mobile app) you'll have to connect manually by navigatinging to your work's settings VPN tab and selecting Connect.

I mentioned Activesync because my corporate mail, based on exchange, uses VPN to autent.

Sorry wasn't quite sure how you were connecting, think I have the icture now.
IT sounds as though your VPN is working okay if You get a connection to GPRS followed by VPN connection.
In that case does your exchange server require SSL for the activesync connection?
If it does then you'll need to use the same name within your activesync configuration as the name entered on the SSL certificate.
Could you please give some more details such as any errors that are generated by activesync and also confirm that you do get a VPN connection during the connection process.

VPN and Remote Desktop

Hi Guys,
either I dont know how to search or there is no info on VPN on the forum(I probably dont know how to search) In any case. I need assistance. How do I setup a VPN on my TyTn running WM6 and also how do I get remote desktop client? I am sure this was around previously. Did MS remove it from WM6? Or was it HTC? It this is the case.. how can one get it back?
thanks!

here's remote desktop. How do you use it? I don't know how to set it up.

thanks!!!!
now for VPN....
cheers!

The remote desktop client is available in several places in this forum for download.
To set up a VPN:
add a new VPN server connection
enter the name / ip of the server you want to connect to
select the vpn type -- ipsec or pptp
next
enter your user name and password
finish
The only way I have found to connect to the von is to goto
Start-Settings-connections-connections-edit my vpn servers- -- tap & hold MY VPN
select connect
you must be using a plan that assigns you a public IP (not WAP)
hope this helps

Thanks cmccarter, done it but how will I know I am connected.. It does not say connected anywhere that I can see and when clicking/hold on the item it gives me the option to connect again, not disconnect as I would have thought The other thing is terminal server does not connect. It connects fine on USB. VPN/Remote desktop connects fine using normal internet on pc from outside the network. So I believe the network settings are fine.. How would I know though if I am on WAP or get an IP. Also ow would I know if the VPN is connected?
thanks

fyi
i also have struggled getting rdp to work over a vpn, in particular over 3+/hsdpa
the only i found in wm5 was to add the vpn connect to the exceptions list of the connection manager, so that it didnt disconnect the vpn whem connecting the rdp.
this occurs more when u use an ip address to connect to a work intranet.
suppose if u use the dns name of the machine and not the ip address then it isnt that much of an issue. in wm5 when u put the ip address in it assumes a an internet rather than intranet connection so it disconnects the vpn to look for the ip over the internet
putting the ip into exceptions forced wm5 to not disconnect it when rdp was looking for it.
i cudnt get it to work this way in wm6 so i am also looking for an answer on this.
rdp to my servers when they have crashed and i am on the road wud b wonderful....

Hi,
I've a similar problem.
I use a VPN-1 SecuRemote that normally connect my PC directly to the company network.
Well, using the share modem tool, I'm not able to reach the gateway.
the share modem system give me a private IP that establish a connection between PC and TYTN.
This connection use the Tytn like a gateway to navigate in internet.
Someone know to solve this issue?
Tanks a lot

if i select start the vpn connection, nothing happens - and i can`t ping the IP`s in the VPN. so i think the vpn ist not open - OR the routing entrie is missing....
is there some shiny "pptp - standalone" client?
greets, Nik

for some reason i dont think the vpn option works over 3g/hsdpa, atleast not on my device using t-mob web and walk.
if i connect the vpn when using wifi it connects and everything is fine, if i try and connect when i'm already running a 3g connection it doesn't work.
i dont think the radio stack is capible of handling a 3g connection and a vpn connection. we might need to go down the route of getting a seprate wm vpn client.

activesync is closing existing vpn connection instead of using vpn

i have a strange behavior of my hermes.
in the "configure server" settings i had to change the server name from "ds-exchange" to "ds-exchange.<our domainname>.ad".
when syncing it only establishes the isp connection whereas before it also established the vpn connection.
when establishing the vpn connection manually active sync is closing the vpn connection and only uses the isp connection.
when setting back the server name to "ds-exchange" it works well but could not reach the server.
any ideas?

VPN problem with Desire

I have Desire. Try to create VPN connection to my work net over 3g, GPRS or Wi-Fi. Tunnel creation is succesful. It's working perfect for 15-20 seconds then nothing. No any warnings in Phone. VPN Server says it's OK. But net resources and RDP connections are unavailable. I'm using IPsec/PP2P protocol. Server with Win2k.
Also try to connect to another VPN server (router). Same result in such different situations

Same problem here. Using hideipvpn.com service. No internet connection when connected to vpn
