VPN and Terminal Services Client with XDA IIs

I used to use the XDA to VPN into a Windows Server, then control it (for problems) with Terminal Services Client. No problem, worked fine.
With my new XDA IIs (original ROM) I can't figure this out at all - and the instruction manual provides little info.
Any ideas?
What I've been doing so far is:
To set up the VPN conn:
[start, settings, connections, connections]
edit my vpn servers
new - (e.g. vpn1 212.123.123.123) - enter logon info
To connect on the VPN (maybe where the problem lies)
I click on the sig strength icon and choose Mobile Web
Then click again on the icon again, and choose 'vpn1' (weirdly this option seems to come and go)
Also, there seems to be no way to see if you have actually succeeded in connecting to that IP address
Now when I look at the sig strength icon... it says 'O2 Active connected'.
Needless to say, if I use TSC at this point, no luck.
Any ideas? It does not seem a very intuitive process.
Thanks

Hello,
Just moved over from a XDA2 to an XDA2s myself and been having the same probs. Check you work connections and make sure that you remove the O2 active setting from the modem tab. This appears to be the prob.
Now when you hit the signal strength icon, you should click on VPN1 only and it should go out through Mobile web and then initiate VPN when it connects.
However, mine is still having an issue with the password!!! Something very strange is happening and I can't work out what it is.
I'm still playing around with it, and will post when I work it out.

Sorry to be dumb, but >>remove the O2 active setting from the modem tab. << - how to do that??
This system must be the most counter-intuitive process I've encountered!

I used TSC through VPN to connect to my work server with my XDA11. Set up GPRS connection, set up VPN with my user name and password, enter the right server name in TSC and hey presto. Simply go to programmes, TSC click and the device connects to GPRS and then automatically to the VPN via GPRS and on to the server.
Now have a Qtek 9090 (XDA2s equivelant) on WM2003 second edition and whilst it will connect at first to my server, it won't connect a second time. After a hard re-set it connects once but never again. I have tried other devices and they do exactly the same. Anyone know what's going on ?

How to force the use of proxy ?

I want to connect to internet via a wifi proxy running on another computer. I have configured the network as 'Work'. Also configured the proxy at Start->Settings->Connections->Proxy . Also did PIE->Menu->Tool->Options->Connections Select (i.e check) "Automatically Detect Settings".
But PIE keeps connecting directly to internet via wifi. The direct connection also alows the internet access but I want to go via proxy. The setting in PIE "Automatically Detect Setting" uses proxy if there is no direct access to inetrnet.
Any idea how I can force PIE to use proxy instead of direct Wifi access.
Thanks

I do not think it is possible by the sounding of it, it does not seems possible but I could be wrong.

It seems that the use of proxy is dependent on the application implementation. Some application do use proxy and some do not. e.g. PIE uses it but messaging do not.
The behavior is similar to desktop applications. There also each application has its own proxy setting. In WM, apps do not have individual proxy setting, but they chose whether to use proxy or not.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb840031.aspx#EstablishingaConnection
Look into function ConnMgrEstablishConnection and dwflags (flags to request proxy)
Now to answer my own question. How to force apps to not to use proxy. There are three ways.
1. Delete all proxy.
2. All set up connection as "work" connection but set up work URL exceptions as */* or *
3. Set up connection as "internet".
Now to force the connection to use proxy. I do not think there is any way to do this. And this is what I wanted to do.

Any APP or Script to select a default Wireless server ?

Hi,
I wonder if anyone has encounter this issue with WM6.1:
The Comm Manager has no option to set a default for the defined Wireless Server.
Say if there are 3 "defined" profiles for wireless server available (Wifi detection), at home or as work for example, the device will connect to one of them, but we cannot set a default one.
There is no-way to set a "don't-detect this server anymore" either, so delete it will make it reappears after wifi detection.
So has anyone found a way, in WM6.1, to set a default Wireless server to connect the WIFI to, when there are several Wireless Access Points available ?
Say if I have several wireless modems all running, and I all setup a profile for each.
How do you set a Default ?
Thanks very much.

[Q] GPS doesn't work when in dock

I installed the MIUI ROM and my GPS doesn't work when I put it in the HTC car dock. It'll work perfectly if it's not in the dock, but once I put it in the dock, the GPS immediately stops working and just says "searching for GPS" and only rarely updates my location.
I tried applying the fixes recommended by the developers of MIUI with no success. The fixes are below. Any help would be appreciated!
menu-settings-personal-my location
use wireless networks - ON (your wifi must be on, doesn't have to be connected)
use gps satellites- ON
see of gps works, if not, go back to same menu
go to gps configuration
in NTP server address, add a 0. in front, to make it 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
supl server address: supl.google.com
supl server port: 7276
hit ok

DNS changes

Has anyone foynd a way to change the cell DNS?
I've tried apps like the 1.1.1.1 but it just sets up a vpn which still uses the cell DNS (which is very slow)

You can use hidden settings for miui app from play store and edit the dns that way. It works for wifi and mobile data for me.

Thanks, I've tried a few of these apps and haven't found any of them to work
