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 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!
