As a wifier with a pda2k , how does one know if he has been discovered by the network owner and in addition , where he has gone , not to mention the pda's security . My files can't be looked at can they? I need serious security assistance . My personal data may have allready been compromised! Damn .
Thank you.
(I'll just wait here on a secure network till I can secure my 'lil unit
Treat your PPC as if it were a portable computer running on celeron. As of the moment I can only recall maybe 4 known viri for Windows Mobile. If you are an avid WiFi'er as I am, try to browse your unit from your desptop pc without activesync activated. You might want to port scan the PPC as well. I run an FTP and web server on my unit (for my own purposes), and I have never had any files compromised unless I allow it. If you are really that peranoid, encrypt the files you don't want read without your permission.
Well I'm a Mac guy so browsing on a desktop won't happen. I just need to be able to surf annomously and not have the network owner view me or my files.
The netwqork admin will always know you are using the router because the wifi router assigns you an IP address. No getting around that. But it will be highly unlikely that he can access your unit resources unless you have a backdoor trojan running on your unit. If you don't know, google up "antivirus scanner for pocket pc", and install it.
Hey MACGUY have you seen PocketMAC? It could be useful!
SORRY i didnt mean to hijack your thread!
NOMADMAN - you said your are a wifi junky - How do I surf the net from my MDA3 using WIFI.

Thanks . I installed the viri scanner and found nothing. It maybe that the open AP is being tapped by someone else as well as me , explaining the third MAC address. Can this be possible? It's a ff.ff.ff.ff.ff
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.
Windows Mobile 6 devices offer Internet Sharing feature for Bluetooth and USB. It works in this way that you start Internet Sharing application inside of your Windows Mobile phone and then other devices can share the Internet connection. What if you could fool Windows Mobile phone and instead of Bluetooth use WiFi? Would it be possible? Yes, it is:
how to use Internet Sharing over WiFi, which essentially makes the Hermes an Access Point.
Do the following:
1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN.
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TIACXWLN1" (it should currently be "BTPAN1").
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc"
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
I got this from a different website.

Edward!! you rock! this has got to be the sweetest thing, since wm6..for me atleast, Im actually posting from my old hacked OSX x86, I really cant believe this worked, but it did.
Thanks a ton for sharing the info.
Edward, Can you plse explain why you set the wifi adaptor to a fixed IP?
The 192.168.1.1 is as far as I know only valid if the router has the 192.168.1 range. For me it should be 192.168.123. ...
Thx for an explanation.
a cab would be perfect!
Yes! A very nice feature; could this be put in as a cab?
Or better, in the comm manager.....
Anyone?

I tried the steps to the letter however, I am unable to connect. I tried on one device running Schaps 3.54c & the other vp3G. I get confused after I complete the step "select wireless tab then add new." The new wireless network shows unavailable on my device" I think I'm unsure how to configure the connection on the PC side. I'm unable to get the wireless configurator to allow me to input a specific IP address. I'm using Windows XP Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK, I have been resisting, but why would you do this.
If you are using wifi to access the Internet, and the phone and PC both have wifi (in order to use wifi sharing), why not just access the wifi directly from the PC? Sorry to be thick, but I don't see why you would want this?

THANK YOU
I have tried this out and it apprears to work pretty well- thank you so much, I had hoped this would be figured out. i had the idea to do this but not the technical know how.
This is awesome
but you know what would be also interesting?
to be able to share the wifi connection over Bluetooth or usb instead of the cellular.
Basically using the phone as a wifi adapter.
What say you?

Has any one gotten this to work with the 6800? The registry key for bluetooth is different.
Thanks

Actually, it came from this site - we've been discussing it for days in the Development and Hacking forum! It was in this post by Fluxist who'd discovered it in the first place, and the other sites have been following suit... we're working on a more elegant way to do it now. And you directly quoted his post!
I'm going to be trying to write a full-on NAT router for it I think, although we're seeing if we can do a basic version for now.
man, i cannot belive this..
that is amazing

I was thinking the same thing. I frequently stay in foreign hotels in which are "unwired." I'd love to use my phone as the registered device when buying wifi so that I could make VOIP calls and check my e-mails on ground and tether it to my notebook back in the roam. In Dubai, you can get hooked for $30 a day for wifi.

Heh, it's cool dude - PPCGeeks got it from us - but check your research ;-) No point having duplicate threads.
Hi to everybody, I am a fresh HTC S620 user.
After I bought it, I flashed ookba's rom, it's working great. But my wifi connection isn't working. "Cannot log on to the wireless network. This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you.". This is the error message.
I searched the forum and also from google but I didn't find a working solution. My network is working with WPA2 protection.
Thanks for all the replies.
From the sounds of it, you need a certificate on your phone. I am not entirely sure how certificates may work on the phone, but google terms like "Windows Mobile Wifi Certificate" or the likes, even search on XDA. I am sure you will come up with something. Like wise, I will search a bit and see if I can find an answer.
Good Luck
Thanks Cyclonezephyrxz7 but I searched about 2 days with a lot of key words, and I tried a lot of ways, I can't solve the problem ):
Could you post some [safe enough to share] info about the wireless router you are using? Possibly some [safe enough to share] connection info.
I am not a WiFi guru or any sort, which is why I put in [safe enough to share], as I leave this to your own discretion. Obviously, don't post your MAC, IP, or data of that sort, as that is not safe to share on an open forum.
Knowing data about your router may help me find a solution for you.
Thank you
my modem has 802.11g wireless connection and using WPA2-AES for protection
and also I tried wi-fi without wpa2 protection, my HTC connects to the internet but with wpa2, it can't connect and also it hasn't wpa protection, only have wpa2 protection.
Thanks for replies.
Well, I did a little Google-searching. Are you using a PEAP connection? If so, refer to this link (here)
In any other case, I will continue to search for an answer, of sorts.
Good luck
change firmware of dsl modem, I have same problem with connection I tried all rom(WM5,WM6.1 WM6.5)but no change, I flashed my modem with different firmware version , now ı can connect wifi with WPA2.
try it may be it solved your problem
mourndare you can test your modem with this program, it is virtual wifi router program.
Program : http://htcexcalibur.blogspot.com/2010/01/turn-your-windows-7-laptop-into-wifi.html
thank you very much dear friends but i can't solve the problem yet
@sincap virtual wifi router needs windows 7, I dont switched to windows 7, still using vista, i will try as soon as possible
Hello fellow XDA users,
I've tried to connect to my universities Wi-fi network but they use WPA2 Enterprise. They have a page for the Iphone on how to set up the connection, http://itdfaq.aus.edu/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=5&id=159&artlang=en.
However I can't seem to find the same exact settings on my Desire.
Can you help me connect to my network?
I am using Sense Froyo right now, any help is really appreciated!
Don't think you can connect to that type or network with the Desire, might be wrong though

I really hope it's not true. Because we have a high end phone & because the Iphone can do it.
Hmm here WPA2 Radius Auth. is working fine out of the box with Open Desire ... also Stock unrooted is working fine.
Radius is working fine, even VPN. As fast as with an Iphone! ;-) (a little bit faster ... no benchmark, personal feelings )
You need the Username and Password and some auth settings (can also be done with testing), thats all ... perhaps the admin uses an cert., so you have to ask for one ... but i dont think that you will need an Cert ... too much admin work for so many students ;-)
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use WPA2. However, many universities and schools use SecureW2 or similar software for authentication. Just pay a visit to your university's helpdesk.

I have zero understanding about networking. So can you please take a look at this and help me understand: http://itdfaq.aus.edu/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=5&id=19&artlang=en
Thank you.
My university uses a WPA2 Enterprise secured wireless network and the good news is that I was able to connect with my stock HTC Desire. The bad news is of course that it isn't as simple as it should be.
What I did was reset my phone's so called Credential Storage and assign a new personal password to it. Then I proceeded to identify some specific Root Certificate Authority certificate needed to establish a connection between a random device and the university networks in my country. In Switzerland, I had to download the QuoVadis Root CA2 certificate and install it into the Credential Storage. After that, the phone determined after connecting to the secured network what parameters were necessary to get internet access.
I was able to simply specify my account and password and link those parameters to that network. Since then, everything works as expected.

So I need to download the .cert file and install it through the credentials storage. I will try that and report, thank you guys.
I use WPA2 Enterprise at uni all the time, and it downloaded the certificate upon first connect. Requires secure credentials to be enabled, but i think if its disabled it will prompt you at the time.
There are different Settings in your Link (first page) and the xp infos on the site. ... i thought that the following infos will do it for you.
Download the cert to sd
Add an connection (manually)
Network name: AUS_Wireless (makes sure it is typed exactly this way)
Security type: 802.1x
PEAP / EAP
Encryption type: WPA/TKIP
Leave the security key field empty
User name: b000xxxxx/g000xxxxx (without adding @aus.edu)
Enter your network password (provided by IT via email)
Now you should be able to connect.
I did it.
A weird thing happened. I connected to the network and this time I was asked to add a password for the credential. So it seems that my phone downloaded it this time and saved it.
Thank you guys for your help.
