VPN: please help! - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Ok, this is driving me nuts. I cannot perform a VPN connection using WIFI, but it works fine with GPRS. So, the VPN server is fine.
Whenever I do an activesync, or click the link to connect my VPN server... it says "Connecting to <VPN server>"... and then after a few seconds, nothing! No error message.
Am I missing something here? How can I troubleshoot this problem?
I am using Pocket PC 2003

Fixed it!
Ok, so I was wrong: there is no error message because it does connect to the VPN server - except that it disconnects after 2 seconds.
I was using the latest T-Mobile ROM 1.42, and so I downgraded to Orange 1.40: same problem... and finally... back to... 1.31!
And it works! The VPN is stable, and works as expected.
Has anyone been able to use a VPN connection using ROM 1.40 or 1.42?

WiFi Issues
I have exactly the same issues and have tried installing both Opera and Netfront to no avail. I can connect to Wifi perfectly can then sync Avantgo, download quick GPS updates and surf a couple of pages, then the DNS seems to fail, have tried with DHCP and fixed IP's. Think the o2 Orbit has some sort of DNS cache fault...As a side issue when the Orbit does connect it runs the Internet very slowly...Both a XDA IIi and XDAs run perfectly on the same wireless!!
Get the devices early and wait for the fixes!!
the same thing on Artemis - device gets IP from WiFi Access point by DHCP, but without DNS. I set DNS manually and Internet is working thought WiFi now.
I had the same problem then installed Wi-Fi Companion, issue resolved. You can download a trial for three days from Pocketgear or Handango.
I changed the wireless mode of the router to only wifi g
has anyone any idea how to get round this yet?
Tried to connect today and all that happens is ie sits there saying 'locating'
I tried Wifi companion..it shows me connected and everything but still can't surf the net.
how can I set DNS manually? might be worth a try
thanks for any help
quick update...Ive just been doig a tracert and ping of my service provider and although the trace and ping come out ok...i.e. still just sits there saying locating...
anyone any ideas?? getting desperate here
Apologies..another quick update....
it's not that I can't connect to the net..it's that there is a default page on IE that tries to connect to pda.o2.co.uk or something..and this page is either not there or something...so, changed the default page and I'm good to go...
apologies again
Mine did the same ... Heres the fix ... It has trouble locating the home page . Type in manually to the address line the url for say GOOGLE and wait for it to connect . Then go to tools options and save current page ( Google) as home page and hey presto ! Sorted
Hi
I also have a similar problem
I have a 802.11b broadband router (linksys) which works fine with my two wifi PC's and my Wifi XDA Exec to access the Internet and collect e-mail
I just got an XDA Orbit and although it "sees" and connects to the Broadband router it will NOT allow access to the internet or e-mail (apart from one very short half page of ntlworld.com home page on one occasion)
WORST than that , when I use the XDA Orbit with Wifi and Internet Explorer - it HANGS the wi-fi router after about 30 secs and I have to reset it before I can access the Internet from any other PC's !!
What am I doing WRONG ???
Any suggestions welcomed
I tried the above 'fixes' and it DID get me a BIT further
i.e. I was able to get a connection to google.co.uk for about 30 seconds and do one enquiry - but then it STILL hung the router and the XDA Orbit was stuck saying 'locating'
Take a look here this worked for me.
Sorry did not work for me - after 30-40 seconds of surfing IE hangs on 'locating' and the router hangs and has to be re-set
ANYTHING TO DO WITH 802.11b compatibility ????????
Where can I get Opera browser to try that ?
How many posters have fixed this problem ?
OK
I downloaded the latest trial version of OPERA and tested that
EXACTLY the same result
If I switch on WiFi and connect to the Internet via Opera, I can access the internet for about 30 seconds, then the browser cannot access any more
If I switch of WiFi on the Orbit quickly, then the Router is OK - if I don't, then the Router Hangs and all my computers lose internet access
Has anyone else seen this ??
Has anyone cured this ??
Is is an 802.11b problem ??

WIFI wont work!

I cant seem to get WIFI working on my xda orbit. I can get the wifi to connect to my wireless router fine, It gets a IP address but when i open up PIE it gets stuck on locating and then says it cant find the webpage.
I have WEP security setup on my router and i know that its not that because i can access the web fine from my Dell Axim X50v. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
I've just set my XDA Orbit up in the last 5 minutes on WiFi through a secured Netgear Router. I get an IPaddress, and then recieve the same message. PIE is looking for a PDA web page. I just typed in www.google.com using the keyboard and it works fine. I've now made ths my home page. PIE works great.
Hope this helps

WIFI does not work in open network

HI!
From I have upgraded to WM6 I can connect by WIFI to my close network at home, but not in open network that I used to do before (airport, Cafeterias, etc), I connect, I get IP address but the internet explorer does not work.
Any idea? Have I forgotten something?
Thanks
Rafael.
I have a similar wifi problem!
I can connect fine at home, but on an open network such as at my university, I can connect briefly, then it will seize to work after loading a page or so.
Then I cannot connect again.
Anyone know how to solve this problem with open networks?
btw, I am using Black 3.0.1
Thanks!

Help XDA Orbit wireless through PC

Hi guys,
Having some trouble connecting my Orbit to the internet through wi-fi...
I set my desktop to share internet connection through wireless and have been surfing on my laptop via this for ages...
Now when I switch Wi-Fi on the orbit on, it finds the network, put my WEP key in and it connects... then when I go into IE and go to a page it says "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings click "settings"......."
When I click settings it just takes me to the page that says
"My Work Network
Add a new modem connection
Add a new vpn server connection
Set up my proxy server"
Can anyone help with what the heck I need to be doing to get the internet working?!?!
Cheers
GK
UPDATE:
Whilst I was typing the message (supposedly still connected through wi-fi to the internet) the Orbit beeped at me and message said
"Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings"
Could that be whats causing the problem and how can I fix it?
Cheers
M
Solved my own problem thanks to the BBC website...
What are the chances of this happening on the same night as I get my XDA and try to set up my wireless...
