i noticed under connections a VPN area. i added my pptp connection for my work server but how do i dial it so i have a connection? ideally, i'd like to dial the vpn then use tsmobile to connect to my pc's local ip. is this possible? i can connect to the server via tsmobile but that has static outside ip.
i would also like to know how to do this!

im trying to get an internet connection through my wifi connection. i have done search's and lots of people seem to be asking the same question but nobody has the answer.
at the moment i can access my c: using an application called Resco explorer. but i can not connect to the internet. im not sure what setting i should have on the wifi manger and on my pc. im also using AOL as my isp.
PLS PLS help :lol:
Edit:
also i can not connect to activesync (version 3.8.0) via wifi. maybe if i was able to connect to this the internet would work as it does when its docked??????
looks like a no then
I got mine working but setting my wireless network adapter to connect to "Work".
Under Settings>Connections>Tasks>Manage existing connections>Proxy Settings> check the "This network connects to the internet" box
then
Under Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks> "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" to "My Work Network" (and the same with one for private network)
Also in your active sync settings, make sure your connection settings allow network (Ethernet) and RAS connections.
From previous research around this, i'm pretty sure you can only use the internet pass through under "WORK" settings only.
*thought i'd better register and contribute as i've gained a fair bit from this forum.
no good anyother ideas. i have searched through hundreds of threads and still no go
help pls
Make sure you have "Enable Netbios over TCP/IP" checked in your TCP/IP Advanced settings.
i have done this on both my wifi network and my isp network.
still not working
Have you checked if you're getting an IP address from your Wireless Router's DHCP server? Also DNS settings and Gateway address should be there.
You can check this easily by using vxUtil (free )
these are my settings:
tiacxwln1 - tiacxwln compatible wireless
Ip address 192.168.0.2
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.0.1
primary DNS 192.168.0.1
secondary dns
primary wins
seconfdary wins
DHCPs server 192.168.0.1
under serial usb
IP address 192.168.55.101
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.55.100
primary DNS 127.0.0.1
Getting this error when I tried to allow my broadband connection to share with my wifi connection. If I unplug the wifi connection and try and share with another network I don’t get any errors.
Internet connection sharing (ics) cannot be enabled due to IP address conflict on the network. ICS requires the host be configured to use 192.168.0.1 please ensure that no other client on the network is configured to use 192.168.0.1
hmmm ... ever had the same problem. all devices are able to connect to the same router except mine sx66.
then i change the router's channel to '1' .. tada .. now everyone is connected. it might sounds silly, but it worked for me.
try changing your ap wireless channel.

i found the problem with activesync 3.8 and 4.0 somehow, so i reverted back to 3.7, now wifi can sync.
afaik, connecting to internet has nothing to do with activesync. its a direct connection to wifi router. use work location and check the proxy settings if u hv any? (at home i use connect to internet without proxy, at work i use connect to internet with proxy).
Also, for Activsync with wifi, make sure that the WINS server address is that of yr PC u want to sync with.
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 have a strange behavior of my hermes.
in the "configure server" settings i had to change the server name from "ds-exchange" to "ds-exchange.<our domainname>.ad".
when syncing it only establishes the isp connection whereas before it also established the vpn connection.
when establishing the vpn connection manually active sync is closing the vpn connection and only uses the isp connection.
when setting back the server name to "ds-exchange" it works well but could not reach the server.
any ideas?
I'm using CM9 on my galaxy nexus.
I can connect to my PPTP VPN server (my router running tomato) fine without tunneling, both inside my lan, and outside it.
I can connect to my SSH server (again my router), both inside my lan and outside it. And have successfuly forwarded ports before w/ connect bot and remote desktop apps.
But everything I try results in my VPN connection timing out when I try to do it over the SSH tunnel. I have it connecting to localhost on the VPN settings side. And on the connect bot side i am forwarding port 1723 to 192.168.1.1:1723 (which is my routers lan IP).... but it still times out.
Does anyone have any ideas? is this even possible?
bump - so no one has tried to do this?
edit: nevermind, not possible with PPTP http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=666728
PPTP requires the GRE protocol, which you can't tunnel over SSH. I've googled this extensively and have tried it repeatedly without any success. You could do PPP over SSH, but it's not very easy to set up, and depending on what OSes you're running, it might be out of your reach.
Check out OpenVPN; it runs on both Windows and Linux, uses a single configurable port for communications, and does everything over that port; as long as you can find an unblocked port on your network to use it on, you should be fine.

I have Private Internet Access as a VPN service, and I wanted to use that for my FireTV alone. So I have a second router in my LAN, which basically serves as a VPN filter for my FireTV. Everything else on my network goes through the first router. So it looks like this:
192.168.1.1 = main router
192.168.1.12 = my Macbook
192.168.1.111 = second (VPN) router's address on main network (I can connect to this from my Macbook and administer the VPN router)
10.0.0.1 = LAN address of VPN router
10.0.0.50 = FireTV IP address
So! My question is...how can I ADB connect to my FireTV from my Macbook using adbFire?
You could opt to disable firewall functionality on your VPN router, unless your main router has static routes to your VPN and open for certain ports from the WAN side. That should be the easiest option.
Or you can open specific ports used by ADB on your VPN router to allow inbound traffic to your FTV along with static route to the FTV. In this case, you will connect to FTV using the WAN IP of your VPN router and forward traffic at the designated port(s) to FTV
Or you can run a local hotspot on your FTV using an application like WiFI Tether Router (or even ES File Explorer) and connect your MAC to the router (that is FTV) and work like that. Note, this only works if your FTV is wired and thereby freeing up your wireless so that it can be used for client connections to it. And also, your MAC has to go wireless in this case. But it is a convoluted way to go that way.
