VPN and Remote Desktop

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.

help with windows mobile wifi?

at my school, in order to use the wifi connection, you have to log in with your username and password(not like wireless password wep,wpa etc ). I can find and connect to the wifi but it will not work when i try surfing the web as i cannot seem to be able to enter in my username and password.
does anyone know of how to help me?

that is probably your proxy server asking for user/password to let you out...

oh whoops i didnt state my problem.
i do not know where to be able to enter in this information to be able to access the internet.
certificates?
other things?
im not sure.
how do i enter in for certificate?

well, what do you have to do if you were to connect to your school's wifi with a laptop?
At my university, once you connect to the wifi and try to access a page it re-directs you to a page where you must login with your school assigned username and password. Once logged in I can surf just fine. I only use it in lecture halls that have no reception.

Your school's proxy likely authenticates through Active Directory - which isn't, as far as I know, used in Windows Mobile (at least in any practical fashion). In an enterprise wireless environment, even a laptop may have to be plugged in via CAT5 cable first to obtain the proper certificate (something that isn't quite compatible with a mobile phone) - after that, it can authenticate on the wireless network. For this reason, some enterprise wireless networks offer a guest account with limited, more controlled acccess to the school's local network but it may, at the very least, give you access to the internet.
Sorry this isn't of much help, but it at least clarifies why you may not be able to access the internet. I did see this same question come up on the Experts Exchange website but they charge you to see the answer.

okay so i tried to connect to the wireless network on my laptop. it "connects" fine and dandy. What I mean is that the "connected" icon shows up. But the message that prompts me to enter in my username and password pops up after i open my web browser (firefox/chrome etc)
on my friends iphone. same thing. the popup shows up after you open up safari mobile.
is there really no way around this?

Are you using Opera or IE?
Opera in turbo mode will not let you authenticate.

Create a server in defy.

hello... I want to create a server in my mobile from which i can access a webpage which I create.
I used 'PAW SERVER' and it works on my carrier network by enabling wifi tethering and accessing through my laptop.

- I create a server.
- I type address in browser which is shown on screen.
But page is wont open.
should I have to make changes in some files or try another application??
any solution.... please help..

Hy, I think the ip which is shown there is providet via DHCP from the DHCP-Server of your carrier. Your Laptop is in the same IP-Area because you use your phone a modem.

hy, i think changing the app doest solve your problem.
You need to be in the same network with your Laptop.
Is there an Error Page in your browser?
You need to Install a Port-Forwarding, or else you cant acess it from the internet, furthermore you need to know the external ip of your college's
network. For further help pm me or write down the ip's an the used networkmask here.

when you sign onto your computer do you have a sign on and password that you have to use? It sounds like it since you are getting an authentication error.
At my office to connect to the corporate wi-fi, I have to use my domain credentials and a proxy server:
domain\username (sometimes entered as [email protected])
Password
proxy server address/port number
If it is that complex then you probably have an IT department that should be able to help you connect. You would enter this stuff on your phone in the advanced options when you try to connect to the wi-fi.

Thanks for the reply, i work for a super small company. I do log in with a password for the computer but nothing fancy. The it department is literally one guy across the country who would definitely not help me get wifi on my phone. How would i find out the proxy number and port number?

Through the router settings. Check for proxy and other options. Most routers have a default ip and password.

Open wifi may allow you to connect but require you to log into a web site via password or accepting terms and allowing your device to save a cookie for a session. That is how out wifi works. I can only use it about 15 minutes at a time before the cookie dies and I have to re log in.

"Connect to the network" error while trying to unlock (and on chinese vpn server)

"Connect to the network" error while trying to unlock (and on chinese vpn server)
I've browsed more than a few threads on here where the reply for issues regarding unlocking is to use PlexVPN's Shanghai server. Unfortunately I've connected to that server and I'm still getting a "Connect to the network and try again" error when trying to unlock my device.
I've tried more than 10 different VPNs, different servers, etc. I have everything signed up logged in and my message for unlock authorization.
What's going on? I really want to kill these Mi Store ads.

You need to keep trying different ones, eventually it will work. Plex one didn't work for me either.
You also don't need to specifically connect to a Shanghai one, a China one in general will work.
