Hi
I don't know excatly when the problem started but I know that it was working on the stock rom and that it was working on certain versions of ARHD, unfortunately I don't remember anymore with versions these where. Now on 5.2.6 I can't connect my laptop over the WiFi-Hotspot of my Desire HD with PPTP-VPN to an Windows Server. The server logs mention something about the missing GRE (protocol 47). I know that the server is working (tested on normal internet routers, UMTS sticks and other android versions). Is there a way to tweak the NAT on the ARHD so that PPTP-VPN will work again? Or does anyone have some suggestions where I could start looking into this problem myself?
Thank you very much!
I solved this particular problem with the app WiFi-Tether. But I would still be interested in the info if I could change the NAT behaviour myself somewhere in the console.

I have been flashing a few 2.03 ROMs in the last few days and in all of them I find the same malfunction. I first tried with a few cooked ROMs and finally also with the stock one, same result.
Problem is with setting a static IP in WIFI. At first, it works all fine. However, soon after disconetting WIFI, you get the surprise of being unable to use the data connection over GPRS. I have trying everything (dunno how many soft- and hard-resets, even changing radio's), the only solution I have been able to find was simply that of deleting all parameters referring to the WIFI connection (including hence the static ip). By doing that, all gets back to normal. Simple solution but kind of annoying if everytime I want to use WIFI and static-IP (quite often in my case) I have to set all parameters again and again. I am now back to a 2.00 ROM which has not this problem.
Any chance someone can suggest a more elegant and stable solution?
cheers, much appreciated
Same problem here.
best regards
Got the same problem
Got the same problem here: running Dutty's V4 ROM I can't connect if I have a static ip address listed for my WIFI connection. I did have the same issue once before on a 1.93 ROM which was fixed by a hard reset, but no joy with that this time.
bump! so many new good roms flying around... i wonder whether this bug with WiFi/staticIP has been fixed. ???
thanx

Thanks
well u can use wi-fi profiles, to make profiles for each ESSID with the static ip and wep key if any, i have 4 profiles each with different statics ip's and keys. and when using gprs, i just click on dhcp only and voila. altho i didnt had the problem with static + gprs data, i'm not using gprs so much, but still i think this is a good solution, will upload cab tomorow here ( i found it on this forum somewhere cant remember exactly) cheers

i had the same problem, thx for the cab, works until somebody will fix this problem...
today I've tried to make a rom with new wm build and eom and drivers from 2.00 (which don't have this problem) but gprs doesn't work with static ip... so i think it is caused from last wm build... damn microsoft
I'm having a similar problem - I have a static IP and can not connect to wi-fi unless connected to activesync...
Can the wifi profiles program help? If so what do I have to do on it? Do I have to change any values?
Any other ideas?
His!…
the same problem with Touch PRO from the update of ROM.
Installing the old ROM it even follows the problem.
Greetings
I have the same problem as well. I can connect to wifi at home with or without activesync , but sometime I can't connect free wifi at Mcdonald or car wash. Can someone help pointing out problem? or setting I need to do. Many thanks
I'm having the same problem with wm 6.1 build 21043, this sucks so much. I thought it was a problem with the hardware in the Diamond at first, but so many other people are having it that it's more than likely a problem with Windows Mobile.
Any fixes?

Turn on DHCP server on, that means AP will gives you automatically IP, and you can use wireless connection...
In options in "select networks" , select "my work" or something similarly, don't use ISP!
I don't have problem with active DHCP server on my HTC diamond, and i can use everywhere wireless connection...
I use Cloudy1.1 rom

Hello,
I am trying to get OpenVPN working on my HTC touch HD, but I'm having a lot of problems.
Since there isn't the systray because of TF3D, I have to launch the ovpncmgr manually.
Sometimes it launches, sometimes it doesn't...
When I suceed launching it, the program crashes when I try to set up the VPN connexion.
Could someone help me please ?
Thanks
I solved my problem myself, you must deactivate TF3D to see the systray.
The you can use openVPN, it works through my operator proxy like a charm !
Thanks for sharing that with us
Hi Devjr ,
I also make it work, deactivating TF3D.
But have you managed to route all the connections using the VPN ?
I mean I can't use for example remote desktop through it,
It tries to make the connection without using the VPN
I've just tested Remote Desktop over OpenVPN on a Touch HD, and it worked fine. I've also tested PuTTY to another machine on the LAN, and that works fine too.
Solution found, thread closed
Does anyone know of a ROM in which the PPTP VPN actually works? I've tried 6 or 7 different roms today and have yet to find one that works. Is this a Google issue, or something else? Surely some developer must have tested this function and can speak to whether or not the VPN works. I recall that in WINMO only a few roms had reliable VPN functionally, Mighty Mike and Silence come to mind. Just to be clear...here is what is generally happening; the VPN connects without a problem. The RAS server displays the connection and shows packets in and out. Some roms will not route one packet properly to the device. Others will appear to work great, pinging remote resources, but as soon as you try to do anything else, i.e. RDP, the connection crashes.
Thanks
Hey, i'm wondering if anyone got TomatoUSB VPN & Desire HD OpenVPN working? I've setup several diffrent configs and the problems is pretty much the same, i can connect but cannot access local LAN. Key's and Cert's are done but does anyone know how to configure the rest of it? Tried both TCP/UDP, TAP/TUN etc. But i can't for example connect with cifsmanager to localip/share.
I've tried with LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3, and Android Revolution HD 6.1.0 (wich i am on now)
If anyone got it to work could you post what settings you have in the router and you client config?
PS: Connecting works from Windows machines with OpenVPN client and the same config(s)
Nvm, for some reason yesterday 'Fix HTC Routes' didn't work, had to restart it, today it worked. Prly fimbled to much with it
I have an old Windows Mobile 6.5 phone (Touch Pro 2). I have an app that allows it to run as a wifi hotspot (install file is called mobilewifirouter.cab).
Other devices connect to the hotspot fine, but the kindle just doesn't see it... even when they're right next to each other. Otherwise the kindle wifi works ok.
Is there any way I can get this going? It's tedious having to constantly consider wifi availability when I'm travelling with it. Maybe the KF doesn't see anything using a very old 802.11 standard?
ad-hoc vs infrastructure
I think the issue is the phone itself. Or rather, the chip/radio only being able to broadcast on ad-hoc which the KF (and other new 'droid devices) doesn't support. I used the same wifi manager you did, same results...
I have a ATT Tilt 2, btw
I guess I have the same problem:
I'm trying to have my lg p500 (android 2.2.1) working as a wifi hotspot and access it from my galaxy tab (3.2) but I can't never "see" my network from it.
Other devices (laptop, nokia E71) can connect, but not the galaxy tab.
Galaxy tab can connect to other wifi networks, but not the one I create in my phone with "Wifi Thether" app.
Any workaround to fix this?
Thanks,
João
I think WM6.5 wifi router software uses Adhoc mode for wifi rather than infrastructure mode. Android cannot connect to adhoc wifi network unless you have a modified WPA supplicant file (which can make your android device unstable).
Kindle Fire and many smartphones/tables cannot connect to the internet via ad-hoc.
Use Connectify software to create a access point from your laptop.
It's a problem that is corrected easily, all you need is ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher. It works, VERY well.

If you are on Stock ROM and rooted, this is perfect
But, if you are on a CM9 ROM(unsure about others), there is no ad-hoc support yet...

He didn't really say if he was using stock or not. I just posted what I know works. If it is wrong for him/her, then I am wrong!
I tried the app on CM9 ROM's, it doesn't play friendly...
For anyone else who searched this thread and they're trying to connect to an android phone... just wanted to recommend FoxFi. I tried several other apps and they all failed (probably due to some quirk of the Kindle Fire's, everyone's recommending these apps). But FoxFi got the job done. But only if you run it without a password. If you're fed up trying to make the kindle connect to your phone, try it.

the problem here is that KF running CM9 or CM10 cant connect to an adhoc wifi yet, not the problem of the phone.
