Bluefire Mobile Security VPN and WM6 not playing well together. - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Hello all,
Has anyone been able to install and run Bluefire Mobile Security VPN client against a wifi network on a hermes running WM6?
I've tried installing on VP3g 1.0 and 3.0 and Schaps 3.57a and I get the same issue...
Basically after install, my wifi is turned on but doesn't pick up any wireless networks. I tried turning off and turning on the wifi but still can't find any wifi networks. I opened my wifi network with no encryption and broadcasting it's SSID but no connection.
Did anyone figure out a way around this?
Thanks in advance.

If you are a business user, get your IT folks to take a no cost eval and try it

Hi Stefc,
Did you try this software connecting to a Cisco VPN concentrator?
Did you have any install problems with WM6?
Thanks in advance

IPSec VPN client for HTC3300

Does anybody tryed VPN client for HTC3300, supporting Windows Mobile 5.0 and Nortel Contivity switch?
I have tried several solutions, incl. Bluefire VPN, AnthaVPN, ApaniVPN, NCP client - but could not get satisfactory result - some of them doesn't work at all, some of them couldn't establish connection or run on Windows Mobile 2003
Some experience with Bluefire VPN:
I have installed trial, it works on WiFi connection, but doesn't work on cellular (GSM/GPRS). An error -56 appears (no physical connection is present) although device connects to GPRS successfully and I could browse Internet
Could anybody advice?

My experience
I had to set up such a connection to my company VPN. Ok, I wasn't working on HTC p3300 but I was in the same condition for days. At last, I discovered that the provider was masking off the VPN frames. I had to buy another service and I had to connect to another "access point". (I don't remember how it is called exactly in GPRS). From then on I could either navigate internet or use vpn, but they are mutually exclusive for the provider policy. "we did it for security purposes..." they said. The problem is that one technician on 100 knows it. The compant was Vodafone ITALY. So I suggest you have a check with your provider. Maybe there's nothing wrong in your configuration.
Bluefire VPN is currently not compatible with WM5 AKU3. It works on devices wiht AKU2 and below. This has something to do with the way AKU3 names the GPRS data connection. It is different than previous versions.
Bluefire is aware of the issue and said they will have this corrected in the next release, due anytime now. I am running a pre-release build that the sent me and can confirm that it works with GPRS. The problem is this build breaks wifi on the device.

Wifi Problem after upgrade to WM6

Hi all, I've just installed upgrade my Jasjam to WM6 ( Black 1.2) - very nice and fast. However, after upgraded I'm unable to connect to my NetGear Router via Wifi (WEP enabled) any longer.
The WEP Key and MAC address are correct - sometimes the software SOCKET WIFI can identify the SSID but unable to connect still. I've tried to connect without WEP key but no success. The only success I have with the Jasjam to use the Internet is via MS activesync thru notebooks ( via WEP wireless ) to the router. Can anyone help ????....
Is there some setting in WM6 that I'm not awared off.
Many thanks in advance.
I had the same problem with my netgear router on WM6 until I realised I had to check/enable "This is a Hidden Network" in the network card settings.
should work

Thank you very much. That tiny check has saved me hours of frustration. It worked perfectly.

WPA Enterprise

Hi guys, I need to know if a Windows Mobile 6 smartphone (e.g. htc s620) can connect to a WPA Enterprise protected network or need some extra software to do that... can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.
In theory all you should have to do is enter the details or pick it up from your list. However, I've been having problems connecting to radius connections as well.
I've followed all the settings, but it's still not working.
I'm using WPA2 AES, PEAP, and I've even downloaded the root certificate for the server.... and still it doesn't work.
Ok, thanks for the reply. Next week I'll try to use that connection (I'm away now) and see how this works even if I'm not so trustful...

VPN over WIFI

Hello All!
I have a problem:
- need to connect to VPN through WIFI.
I'm running WM5 AKU3.5 Rom, UNI \ Qtek 9000.
With the built-in VPN client I CAN connect to VPN, but the first request to internet (via browser or Messaging send-receive) - drops my VPN connection, as it described here in the forum (Networking).
I tried 3-rd party software so far:
1. BlueFire VPN - just can't connect.
2. Antha VPN - just doesn't work.
Any solution so far?
Did anybody succeed with it?
Thank you very much for your answers!

** Let me describe in more detail:
In my case- this is a public WIFI internet provider, which has a wifi coverage in the city: GoldenWiFi.
Wifi is open PPTP. I need to type in a login \ pass on the web page I get, to start using the internet in current wifi session.
The ALTERNATIVE way to conect to internet - is to establish a VPN connection over the wifi.
I can successfully do in on the laptop, but not with my UNI.
WM5 has some bugs in PPTP implementation and there are problems connecting to VPN servers other than Microsoft ISA. I've spend couple of hours trying to connect my universal to poptop (linux pptp server which is quite popular) and it was imposible using mschap-v2 (which is required for security reasons). WinXP stations are connecting fine to the same VPN server. Poptop is included in many linux embedded devices (access points, wireless routers) and I think that this is your problem.

static-IP over WIFI and 3G: 2.03-ROM bug?

I have been flashing a few 2.03 ROMs in the last few days and in all of them I find the same malfunction. I first tried with a few cooked ROMs and finally also with the stock one, same result.
Problem is with setting a static IP in WIFI. At first, it works all fine. However, soon after disconetting WIFI, you get the surprise of being unable to use the data connection over GPRS. I have trying everything (dunno how many soft- and hard-resets, even changing radio's), the only solution I have been able to find was simply that of deleting all parameters referring to the WIFI connection (including hence the static ip). By doing that, all gets back to normal. Simple solution but kind of annoying if everytime I want to use WIFI and static-IP (quite often in my case) I have to set all parameters again and again. I am now back to a 2.00 ROM which has not this problem.
Any chance someone can suggest a more elegant and stable solution?
cheers, much appreciated
Same problem here.
best regards
Got the same problem
Got the same problem here: running Dutty's V4 ROM I can't connect if I have a static ip address listed for my WIFI connection. I did have the same issue once before on a 1.93 ROM which was fixed by a hard reset, but no joy with that this time.
bump! so many new good roms flying around... i wonder whether this bug with WiFi/staticIP has been fixed. ???
thanx

today I've tried to make a rom with new wm build and eom and drivers from 2.00 (which don't have this problem) but gprs doesn't work with static ip... so i think it is caused from last wm build... damn microsoft
I'm having a similar problem - I have a static IP and can not connect to wi-fi unless connected to activesync...
Can the wifi profiles program help? If so what do I have to do on it? Do I have to change any values?
Any other ideas?
His!…
the same problem with Touch PRO from the update of ROM.
Installing the old ROM it even follows the problem.
Greetings
I have the same problem as well. I can connect to wifi at home with or without activesync , but sometime I can't connect free wifi at Mcdonald or car wash. Can someone help pointing out problem? or setting I need to do. Many thanks
I'm having the same problem with wm 6.1 build 21043, this sucks so much. I thought it was a problem with the hardware in the Diamond at first, but so many other people are having it that it's more than likely a problem with Windows Mobile.
Any fixes?

Turn on DHCP server on, that means AP will gives you automatically IP, and you can use wireless connection...
In options in "select networks" , select "my work" or something similarly, don't use ISP!
I don't have problem with active DHCP server on my HTC diamond, and i can use everywhere wireless connection...
I use Cloudy1.1 rom
