I have O2 xda Orbit upgraded to WM6, I need to connect to wireless access point at school which requires a proxy server. I know the proxy address and port No and add them through settings/connections/connections. I connect to the access point OK and can even browse network using Network Browser but no internet. Had same problem with WM5, WM6 no better.

I am trying the obviously impossible thing:
Connecting my BA (WM 2003 PE) via GPRS (Vodafone Germany) with an exchange server behind a Cisco pix 515e firewall to synchronize my Outlook data.
1. IPsec
Tried all available clients like Antha, Movian and others. No connection is possible with my PDA although a connection with my laptop via a cisco VPN client is possible without any problems. The connection always stucks
with negotiating the security parameters.
2. PPTP
Establishing a VPN tunnel will work over the APN corporate.vodafone.de. But after trying to connect to the exchange server via IE no password login window appears when I am entering the server's IP. After some time IE says "page cannot be found".
Questions:
Is there any workaround available which describes how to connect a WM 2003 PDA via VPN and GPRS to an exchange server ?
Any experiences with Vodafone GPRS and VPN ? Does the APN web.vodafone.de also work for VPN ? Unfotunately Vodafone itself doesn't know !
Any further hints for my problems ?
im using Apani VPN to connect to a Cisco concentrator.
Its the only client I could get to work reliably -& theres a free trial version.
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.
I'm using Black v2.0.2. However, I've had this problem with all the WM6 ROMS. In WM5, I was able to connect to the internet through Activesync and sync the weather, news, etc. etc. With the new ROMs, I can no longer do it.
The older versions of Activesync had an option of entering the proxy server info in. Version 4.5 does not any longer. Or at least I can't find it anywhere.
My work proxy server is inetproxy2.home.net. I also believe it is port 80. How do I configure my Hermes to sync all the data with the internet connection through my work rather than connecting to GPRS eventhough I'm already connected to activesync?
Thanks for any help.
Default port
Try port 8080. That's the default port number for most proxy servers.

Where do I enter the proxy information? Do I choose a profile or create a new profile on the Hermes?

if the proxy information is inserted into Internet Explorer on your machine ActiveSync will use this and overwrite the proxy configuration on the current enabled/active connection in Connection Manager... but for passthrough to work you have to have a profile setup in activesync....

But where in activesync do I put in the proxy server info? I can't find that option anywhere.

as i said in my post... activesync gets this information straight from your Internet Explorer settings on your PC...
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.
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...
