[Q] VPN? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I setup a VPN server on my ubuntu laptop so I can access my files using my mobile connection. I can connect to the VPN server ok...
but.. now what? the internet on my phone doesn't appear to be using the VPN. and I can't connect to my local samba server.
anyone have any ideas? how do I actually access my files? it says i'm connected to the vpn server but then keeps using the mobile network as an internet gateway?

Connectivity VPN problems with WM6

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.

[Q] Sharing internet via HTC Desire?

Hello!
I have installed RCMix HD rom, with new Sense, and i have option for Internet Pass-Through. I am wondering, if it is possible, to use on phone internet connection from PC via Internet Pass-Through, and in settings turn on Portable WiFi Hotspot, that will let me to connect to internet on another laptop? I tried this, but i doesn't have internet on laptop...
And, is this possible anyway?
The way the internet sharing works with the Desire is that it acts like a modem which then shares the internet with a PC. You can't do it the other way around, sharing internet from your PC to your phone, just phone to PC.
You can use your computers internet via internet pass through, I know because I've tried it, but you can't use the computer internet for hotspot, I tried that too

@damo : bro can u tell me how u did it???m using windows 7 but cant seem to get it work on the phone....everything is getting connected but no show on the phone....
is there any particular setting u need to do???
as a thought - what about if you made an adhoc connection from laptop and shared internet with that connection...?
just a thought- completely untested..
just remember when I had a machine set up with a crossover and shared wifi from laptop to PC and wondered if you could do something similar with an adhoc wifi connection...
You can't share the internet connection used from a pass through connection. The reason is that it uses the same framework for both pass through connections and Portable Hotspot. Would be cool if it could be done, but with Windows XP and above you setup an AdHoc Wifi connection which will allow you to connect one device and share and internet connection.
