VPN Log In Problem with WM6 Black Edition

Not sure does anyone else have the same problem, I can't seem to log in VPN network through wifi in my school.
Tried bother Black Edn. v1.1 and v1.2, neither one can go through.
Anyone who succeed care to share the settings? I was told my log in ID or Password is wrong.
Or maybe it's the network which doesn't support WM6 yet?

Nobody uses VPN here?

I have the same issue, done a search and it appears that the TCP/IP stack is not binding with the VPN client software. This appears to be a general issue, I use the Checkpoint secure remote client but it also does not work with Cisco, maybe others. Unfortunately I do not know of a work round.

I have exactly the same issue with my WM6. I use the AT&T dialer on my laptop and try to connect over the umts connection created between my HTC Universal WM6 via usb connected to my laptop.
If you have any updates on this I would be grateful.

Schap's 3.57a - Impossible to set stun server in voip settings?

Hi,
i need to set the stun server in voip settings in Schap's version 3.56a, but i don't know where to put it and it's impossible to use the voip service over 3G.
Can someone help me, please?
Thank you very much, Paolo

Sorry, nobody's uncovered a way to provision a STUN server yet AFAIK.

Like Sleuth is saying: Nobody has been able to get this working......YET!
Perhaps someone has an answer but then I advise to search the forum for any answers.

TS, which voip provider you using?
For me, am using gizmo (aka sipphone.com). I managed to get it work even without stun (although sipphone configuration page mentioned stun server).

IE woes from a confused newbie

Hi Chaps,
I have an o2 xda iis, which I've cherished for many years. A few months ago I managed to upgrade it's original, awful buggy software to wm6.5 which has thankfully put an end to the constant crashing but it has also created a few new problems I was hoping to get some help with.
1) MMS has dissapeared from the messaging menu. I can't send, receive as it's just not there anymore!
2) Wifi connects to my network, assigns an IP but when I open IE (or any other browser), the browser closes immediately. GPRS works fine.
device data :
WM 6.5 CE OS 5.2.21139
wm6.5pro_QVGA HT4.20
ROM DATE 01/01/09
Radio version 1.06.00
Protocol 1337.38
extrom : black kernel

welcome to the forum!
1. mms is not a feature, that is built into the os by standard, it is an add-on application called arcsoft mms, that enables the account in messaging and gives you back the possibility to send, receive and set the mms again. you can find it in the iolite stuff thread, and since you are new, here's the link: -=the link=-
you will find the download link listed under 01.10.2008
2. that is odd!
-would the internet explorer stay open, when you have no data connection at all?
then you could enable the wi-fi afterwards.
-alternatively, do you get a real ip, when connecting to your wi-fi?
a real ip would be something like 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x in contrast to 169.254.x.x, which means, the devices uses dhcp and demands an ip from your access point, but is not assigned one, either because there is no dhcp server or 802.1x authentication failed or there is a MAC filter or the network is 54Mbit only, wpa2 or wpa-aes.
that would mean, that you have a corrupt wireless connection and no data traffic would work anyways. in that case make sure, your router is set up right, that a device that can only handle up to wlan-b, wpa-psk could access it and try a static ip in your network.
still i think it is strange, since under no circumstances the IE should crash, with or without a conection. maybe you want to try another IE version or an entirely different rom, if you can's fix that.
with best regards,
Chef_Tony

Wow thanks for the quick response.
I wasn't aware MMS isn't a standard feature. I'll look into that asap! Thanks! I feel educated.
As for the WIFI not working, I think it's something to do with the Sun Dream rom i'm using. I had read some of the 100+ pages (ugh!) and realised I was sposed to install IE8 after the ROM. This seems to have fixed whatever was wrong. Seems weird to me!

ok. maybe that is why that issue is so weird. since you are using wm6.5 i was assuming you also used the new internet explorer. but also, you wrote "(or any other browser)" in your first post and since not all the browsers are based on IE (some are) i thought, if you had the same issue there, it couldn't be related to IE but must be something with the conection itself.

Inbuilt SIP VoIP client working?

Just a quick question, has anyone gotten the inbuilt "Internet Calling" WM SIP client working on the TP2?
I've been reading all of the threads that I can find on this site to do with SIP, VoIP etc... and trying to get the InternetCalling app working on my TP2. I'm currently running Sergio's Cell Pro V11 ROM, but I've also tried it on the NRG Phoenix ROMs.
It seems that no matter what VoIP setup cab I use to install the client and it's constituent parts, no matter what registry settings I alter, and no matter what SIP provider I try, it always ends up at "No Service" after "Searching".
I just wondered if anyone had experience of getting it to work, either over Wifi, or over 3G?
I've also investigated whether the problem is that Vodafone UK block SIP traffic on their network, but I've not come across anything to say if they do conclusively one way or another?

I am getting the same problem, I think I am not using the right SIP server. On one of the tutorials it tells me to use my SIP server. I am with Telus but I don't know what the sip server is.

Same here. I could not get internal SIP working.
And fring is a resource hog. There is another software (talkonaut), but I don't have enough experience on that one.

[Q] VPN on Rhod 100 TP2

I have the latest Froyo6 build on my Froyo TP2 Rhod_100 UK
I have been trying to set up the VPN, but I can not get it working. Does anyone know why and how I can sort this out please?
PS. I also tried to run a VoIP (SIP) client (3CX) on the machine, but that too does not work.
My airtime provider is Vodafone UK and they have assured me that both are enabled on my account at a princely sum of £15 per month! Needless to say at that cost I am dead keen to make this work.

Can you get either to work on wifi?

I know there were some Chinese users trying to get the VPN to work, and couldn't.
I haven't tried, as I have no use for a VPN on my phone lol.
Also, I have known people to get SIP working, but it wasn't so great from what I heard...

Sorry I was not getting alerts and the thread was not showing up in my subs....
If I use WiFi then I am at home and do not need the VPN, but the SIP Phone DOES work and very well.
If I use the WM as a gateway for my laptop, then the laptop can run a VPN and SIP Phone via the phone. If that makes sense to you. Thus the Router running the VPN is working and the config works, and the mobile operator has set up the service. So this is just the phone settings - I believe.

If I had a VPN I could connect to I would test it out...
Maybe its a misconfiguration in Android? broken driver or config?

I do not know. It tells me nothing. The settings are as per the router config. How do I find out what is incorrect/broken etc...?

Can you give as many details as possible on the type of VPN I'm trying to connect to?
It's probably not working because none of the devs use that function - and can't debug it without trying to reproduce your setup.
I might play with it a little as it would potentially let me remotely schedule MythTV recordings safely, but it would be pretty low-pri for me.

I am using at this stage a simple PPTP setup for now. The Android settings are minimal - username and PW, and that is it.
But my laptop, which works has more settings o configure. I.e. MSCHAP and MSCHAPv2
Point to point MPPE
Security 128b and/or 40b
Allow BSD
Allow Deflate data comp
Allow TCP header comp
Does this help

OK, sometime in the next week or two I'll try to get PPTP up and running using similar parameters. I've been meaning to do it in general (not phone-related) for other reasons anyway - but it's been a low priority for a long time.

Why not OpenVPN? Seems like it would be easier/more standards-compliant that a craptacular PPTP VPN .

I'll look into what VPN options Android supports - although for the OP, he may have specific reasons forcing PPTP.

Because I am working with Draytek, my router. Vendor to set up the VPN and this was the. First config as it was the simplest. Seems everything else works, just. Not the. Phone. The phone too has PPTP as a standard setting.

Eh, I prefer to avoid PPTP like the plague if I have any choice. Most companies don't provide a choice, so I figured that's why you were locked in.
If you do have a choice, I would try something different. That's just me tho, I'd prefer open to closed any day if I had the choice .

Just a side note - the built-in Android VPN support uses pppd. The ril currently uses "killall pppd" to disable mobile data. If you're using both at once, then this will kill the VPN too. This is a stupid flaw in the current ril code, which is fixed in the "initpppd" branch of my ril repo. (But the initpppd branch depends on a number of rootfs fixes before it is usable, and stinebd has not merged any of it yet.)

Thanks for the reminder of that, I remember the discussions on the dev list.
I'm going to shelve poking at the VPN stuff until the RIL overhaul stabilizes and gets mainlined in this case.

OK, please excuse slowness of response. As arrghh knows from another thread I am in transit across Europe. I reached my destination, Italy and have spent the past few days getting internet access *broadband virtually does not exist here unless you are in a City, so I have to use a very slow mobile broadband).
I am not a techie, but I am a willing player with some knowledge - dangerous, I know. I have been assisted by the manufacturer of my Router, a Draytek 2820 to set up a VPN. We may make it a more sophisticated VPN later, but pptp is the easiest. I have it working on all laptops and PCs, including this old banger here in Italy. What I can NOT do, is get it working on the phone. I think it is communicating with the router, but it is not getting through.
PS the PCs and Laptops are all Linux - Ubuntu 10.10
Hope this helps

I'm one of those Chinese who tried using VPNs on my Raphael, but failed of course. Actually, neither on WM, nor on Android, neither via pptp, nor via l2tp over ipsec. What I wanna remind is VPN on most Android roms on hd2 works fine, but some roms also cannot support vpn.
If you have enough time, I don't know how to pray for, would you please explore l2tp over ipsec? Because in many cities in China, pptp is also blocked by ISP. And I can provide a test account if anyone needs it.
Btw, I believe vpn is necessary when connecting a public wifi

One more report, vpn in pptp could not work..

At this point - I'm going to hold off on poking at this until highlandsun's new RIL settles out and is officially committed. Some of the dev traffic correspondence indicates that the way we currently handle PPP is incompatible with VPNs. His new ril + rootfs combo that changes the pppd control architecture MIGHT solve some of the PPTP issues, I haven't tried them yet.

See it.
May your works come out soon~
