XDAII VPN Issue - Networking

Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased an XDAII and brought it to the states and am currently using it on AT&T's GSM/GPRS network. I can VPN into my corporate network and have validated a VPN Session on the server side...but for some odd reason I cannot hit my intranet site or any servers on my network. I think it is a setting I missed or configured incorrectly on my device. Anyone have any suggestions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Richard

Richard, I'd be interested too, as it's exactly what I want to do. What VPN software are you using? I was planning on using the Secure Remote software, PDA version.
Can you get access to the firewall logs to see what is happening, any drop or messages, etc?

Securemote and Himalaya type phones
Guys, I have a similar problem and checkpoint doesn't currently himalayas!!!
Anybody has a solution?
Thanks
Moustapha

I know the problem
I know the problem(I think), it's the fact that using the default (built in) VPN client the XDAII doesn't pick up the subnet mask from the VPN, it generates it's own based on the class of IP address, setting nthe dhcp server to dish out class c addresses works on my set up - will keep you posted though!

got it working SecureClient 131/ NG FP3 SecureRemote / GPRS
Hi
I have installed the SecureClient for WM2003 Build 131 and the Firewall is a NG FP3 only with SecuRemote configured. First i needed to change the authenification schema on the firewall an enter a pre-shared secret. After that i was able to establish the vpn tunnel.
I tried putty and temrinal serrvice into the internal network and both was working . I just got a message that the secureclient was not able to download the client policy, but i just ignored that.
Hope this helps

VPN with PPTP and GPRS

I have been trying to establish a VPN connection with my xda over gprs to my office computer (PPTP) but I am not sure I have made the appropriate settings. There is no place to type in my username and password (except for the gprs connection).
Can anyone guide me on how to ensure a proper connection?
Also, I am not sure what the VPN connection will mean in terms of pocket pc functionality. Will it mean that I can access my office e-mail which would otherwise require a direct dial in? Will I be able to synchronize with my office outlook?
I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks, apap

hi,
suggest ringing 0845 6006886 (O2 GPRS Helpline).
They have a PDF Doc that may help. They will e-mail it to you.
Doc Title VPN_Access_over_mobile_web.
Good luck
Ric.
Thanks for your help Ric.
I have followed the settings as discussed in the pdf file but I have not had any success. I will call the helpline.
private networks
Please note that if you are using O2 and your office have a private network range in the 10.0.0.0 range, you will have problems due to the subnet mask used, and the fact that O2 use NAT.
I have written a utility which monitors the routing table, and overcomes this problem by narrowing the net mask. Anyone who is interested, contact me for this software: [email protected]
I tried to 'give' this software to O2, but they didn't seem to care. They didn't really seem to understand the problem.

How about this: we'll dedicate a page to it on this site, and possibly even include a small tutorial that deals with networking stuff in general. If everyone in the know contributes a bit of their knowledge, I'll lay it all out, add the screenshots and put it on a page.
Re: private networks
Thanks.
Here's the gist of it.
Often, corporate networks use addresses in the range 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 in order to create private networks. This address range is designated for this purpose, and is the only class A range designated as such.
O2's GPRS network uses NAT in order to cut down the number of IP addresses they require. In doing so, they also use the private address range.
It is not recommended practice to use NAT for subscription networks, as they do not provide a 'complete' internet service. Certain peer-to-peer services will not work through NAT, as they require both devices to be publicly addressable - this however, is not the cause of this issue.
Lets look at the process of connecting to a VPN.
1) a 'dial up' connection is made to the GPRS service. When I say 'dial up' I do not mean a circut switched call is made (before you techies correct me), but still, some kind of PPP connection is made.
2) IP addresses are negotiated. An address is allocated to the device in the 10.0.0.0 range. During this allocation proceedure no subnet mask is specified, and the device assumes 255.0.0.0 as for a class A network.
3) The device adds a route to 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 on the GPRS virtual adapter.
The connection to the VPN can now be made
1) a 'dial up' connection is made to the VPN service.
2) IP addresses are negotiated. An address is allocated to the device in the 10.0.0.0 range (depending on corporate config). During this allocation proceedure no subnet mask is specified, and the device assumes 255.0.0.0 as for a class A network.
3) The device adds a route to 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 on the VPNvirtual adapter.
All seems fine - no? Try connecting to any host on the private network. Mail server, terminal server, web server. I bet you it doesn't work. That's because two routes have been allocated on the 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 network. When you try and connect to your mail server (eg 10.0.0.6) the packets go straight out through the first matching route - the GPRS, and never even see the VPN route.
My software tool watches the route table (I use a function in the IPhlpapi.dll for those interested), and waits for a change. When it spots a change, it re-writes the routing table, narrowing the routing entries to 24 bit masks (it works out the missing octets from the gateway address).
So an example would be:
10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 gw 10.34.23.254 if GPRS
10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 gw 10.0.0.1 if VPN
becomes
10.34.23.0 mask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.34.23.254 if GPRS
10.0.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.0.1 if VPN
This allows you to access stuff in the 10.0.0.0 network.
Drawback:
You won't be able to peer to peer with other O2 XDA's who aren't on the same class C netowork - big deal, does anyone do this?
You are limited to contacting hosts on the same class C within your private network. I am working on broadening this range.
Files:
There is 1 file required - the executable, which should be placed in the startup folder. Let me know where to send this, and it can be made public.
util.
To keep you updated. I've just updated this slightly. It no longer requires MFC. It is 1 x 5.5 K executable.

Martin
Please note, not everyone will need this update. Only if your office uses a 10.0.0.0 subnet.
Thanks for all the enquiries.

Don't have this file to hand, but if it is the one I think (provided by o2 UK) it is on their site somewhere.
VPN to Win2k server (with fixed ip, and internal ip of 192.168.blah-de-blah) worked first time following those instructions, as did Terminal Server used to remotely control it.

What VPN does for me.
Me and my significant other have 3 servers in our closet and host exchange (email), Active Directory, and outlook mobile access as well as things like ftp, web, and most importantly VPN. All my email that comes to us goes into my Outlook box on the exchange server then activesync sends a text message to my tmo pda phone and activesync begins downloading my mail and synchronizes my contacts and calendar. Once that is complete, a VPN connection is started up and the pda syncs with my desktop computer, so programs like vindigo and files like my documents are up to date. I even have the option of installing over the air or browsing my files on my computer at home.
Hey Sytris, I'm setup the same way pretty much but I've tried with 2 different devices and I can't get it to sync with the local computer. The active synce with exchange works fine and the vpn connects just fine. The active Sync app on the server then gets the connection from the PPC but shows connected as guest instead of my device and the active sync on the PPC still shows connecting but never goes anywhere. Did you run into that when setting yours up? Any suggestions? Thanks - Jim
About PPTP connection via PC I found nice tutorial step by step here at supervpn.net/blog
About mobile, you should try to contact some VPN provider, they have nice live chat support so they can answer you probably on all your questions.
For setup your vpn on your phone you can find solution on worldvpn.net

GPRS and Static IP with VPN

HI guys,
Does anyone know how to get a static IP address when using the GPRS connection to the internet. The reason being is because our corporate firewall has to recognise the device through it's IP. Is there any other possible methods for recognising the user?
Also does a VPN work well over GPRS and is there any extra configuration involved on the VPN server
Cheers
Any answers would be great.
Unfortunately there is no simple answer to your question. AFAIK you cant get a fixed ip on gprs, but if your using the right firewall and the right vpn host you dont need to.
I use and supply windows sbs 2003 servers and vpn into them regularly. I have also used citrix to achieve similar results. Might be a bit difficult to persuade your firms it dept to set up something like that for 1 person though.
PM me if youd like any advice.

Hello Billy,
You ask a good question, but the answer isn't simple. Most carriers do have two types of APN (Access Point Name) provision for your SIM: "private" APN (which provides a non-routable IP assignment from behind a NAT, for basic browsing and e-mail functionality) and "public" APN (that provides a routable IP assignment, which is the Minimum Requirement for a more sophisticated connection type, such as VPN, etc). However, both of them are assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server on a GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node) of your particular GPRS network operator. In either case, the end result will obviously be a DYNAMIC IP address on your GPRS terminal (be it a laptop PC, a PDA, or phone)
Some carriers do offer what is called a "dedicated APN" provision, which gives the subscriber their own IP range to choose from (almost like a small subnet), but it is only available to corporate giants like Pepsi (for example).
Now, to sum it up, you must have the proper APN provisioned on your Mobile SIM account (which the provider will normally call something like a "VPN data package" in billing terms). Then, you must obviously establish a GPRS session before you can connect your VPN client (but remember that most basic VPN clients work the best). It is pretty sad to say, but Microsoft Windows-embedded VPN client on Win2k/XP Pro so far has performed the best with no quirks whatsoever. It has to be via PPTP...L2TP has also worked for me..otherwise, the fancier (and more secure) the VPN tunneling protocol, the more its likely to fail. Normally all you need for a basic MS WIndows VPN client config is the Server name (or IP address), the user name, and the password.
Hope this helps,
Let me know how it goes,
Alex

VPN and TS Its like pulling teeth
hi all this has got to be the most anoying problem ever. i can connect to O2 vpn access point and hence i can connect to my work vpn server. however as soon as i try to open a TS connection to my desktop (through the vpn) the VPN connection is dropped and i never connect. Can anybody tell me why? if i have a vpn connection to my work server why does TS try to make another connection and bomb out the original. Is there a fix or another way of doing this i.e. does a external IP have to be nat'd to my desktop IP on port 3389? all help greatly appreciated. Ian

VPN Client For Cisco Concentrator

While I was looking for a *working* VPN client solution to work with a Cisco concentrator, I found a couple of potential solutions:
1. Bluefire VPN client (http://www.bluefiresecurity.com/)
2. AnthaVPN (http://www.anthavpn.com/webmaker/portal/wmlink_360)
Both claim to work with the Cisco concentrator (3000 series to be precise). Before I go ahead and install either/both on my MDA Pro (with Imate ROM), I was wondering if anyone had any good/bad things to say about the software?
Any help would be appreciated.
here's an update:
I went ahead and installed the BlueFire VPN client. In general, the installation was a breeze. The UI is also nice and elegant. The configuration isn't too obtruse, either, except I can't get it to work with my Cisco concentrator! It would authenticate with the server fine, but would always choke on "IKE phase 2", which I think is when the client and server negotiate on the IPSec security association (SA) parameters.
I've tried several combination of IPSec configuration on both client and server to no avail. The server throws the following error on every login attempt:
39019 03/29/2006 14:04:59.840 SEV=4 IKE/0 RPT=575 192.168.51.120
Group [***obfuscated***] User [***obfuscated***]
All IPSec SA proposals found unacceptable!
Anyone got any suggestions on how to get around this?

I tried that already, didn't work. It may just be issues with the configuration on the concentrator. I'm going to play with it this weekend to see if I get anywhere. Thanks for the reply, nonetheless.

I filled out an eval request yesterday with Apani and got the instructions to download the client this morning. I'll install it over the weekend to see if it works "out of the box". Thanks for the suggestion, dude!
It appears that Apani doesn't really support the universal. Got the following from one of their support reps. Back to the drawing board, I guess.
The Client does not support the use of Windows Mobile 5. We currently
support Windows Mobile 2003 only.

Bluefire VPN
be careful when installing Bluefire... It is a mess if you install it on the SD card..
it's a nuisance to uninstall it... all advice i got from "Bluefire support" was to try a hard reset.... most helpfull

I got the BlueFire client to work finally! I had to enable the PFS (Perfect Forward Secracy) on the concentrator along with the encryption set to 1024 bits on my group profile.
After I got past that, I got the DirectPush client to work with my exchange server! Now I can confidently say this phone has been worth it for me!
OpenVPN
FYI - I just came across this openVPN port for windows mobile and thought it might be of interest for some of you guys:
http://www.ziggurat29.com/OVPNPPCAlpha/OVPNPPCAlpha.htm
Its still in the alpha stage and is continually being worked on by the author, David G. Lemley, III
I am in the same boat - need to use IPsec VPN to connect to our corporate Exchange server.
I am testing BlueFire 2.3.0 client for more than a week now. Overall it is very good - it does its job done. But after running it extensively for a week I discovered several issues with it, mostly cosmetic, but they are really annoying. Especially, if you want to have Direct Push. Those issues are:
1. "Save credentials for auto-reauthentication" does not work - you have to enter your password every time you connect.
2. It does not reconnect on its own, if it looses the connection (i.e. EDGE/GPRS goes down temporarily)
3. Detection of disconnect is not very reliable - sometimes when you loose signal and GPRS connection wants to disconnect, it cannot do it because of VPN still thinks it is connected and prevents GPRS from reconnecting.
4. Extensive use of on-screen push-buttons instead of soft-keys. And soft-keys are mapped to rarely used functions, like About - poor interface design. It woldn't be so bad, if the VPN client was not requiring user interaction to reconnect and authenticate...
5. After several minutes of standby, it brings its window on top of Today screen, kinda like letting user know that he better check his tunnel/connection, because it could be already disconnected... In most cases it is not true, because the unit wakes half the way up every several minutes to check email or sent a heat-beat packet, which keeps connection up (this only applies to GPRS/EDGE connection and not WiFi, unfortunatelly). But sometimes the VPN tunnel becomes dead, and you have to click "Disconnect", "Connect" and enter your password again.
Ok, that is my impression about BlueFire VPN client. Now the question is - is there any better IPsec client for PPC (WM5), which allows you to have Direct Push email over IPsec all day long without your intervention to check the connection status and reconnect manually?
Thanks for your time.
Im also trying to connect to our corporate network using a vpn client.
with my laptop i usually do this with the cisco vpn client and a very simple configuration.
My target is doing the same with the universal.
I tried Bluefire VPN, and AnthaVPN.
Eventhough i tried a lot of times, i couldn't make a connection with bluefire
With Antha, the results were better. I could connect , but after installing it, wifi stop working, and the active sync, sometimes doesnt recognize the device ( i saw in this forum somebody with exactly the same problem).
Is there anybody that use Antha in Universal without problems?
I checked the official web of Antha, and universal is not supported.
Do you know any other vpn software that works with Cisco?
Thanks

vpn client?

hey guys,
am trying to connect to my office's VPN with my vario II. the default software provided does not seem sufficient. for one, i have one of those security key ring things which means my password changes every time i want to connect.
my pc uses cisco's vpn client...
any ideas? right now i'm just synching my exchange server with my pda using activesync, but wouldnt' midn having it on the go! there's no "external" access as such for the exchange server - it does have a web front end but its highly customized and isn't as easy as just configuring it as an external data source on my pda...
This one works perfect for me..
http://www.ncp.de/english/download/testsoftware/index.html
We use AnthaVPN at my university and it's supposed to work quite well with Cisco concentrator gateways, but be warned, if you have the latest 3.3 aku, you might run into problems like I did regarding loosing 3g internet connectivity on your hermes. However it could have just been a fluke as I didn't bother trying a fresh install of antha after a hard reset or anything since 3g is just as fast as my universities wireless internet anyways
Hope this helps
You can also try Bluefire. They have a 30 day fully functional trial version.

I have installed this but can't see any way of configuring the VPN connection. How did you configure it?
You have to use the PC client in order to create a configuration file and then transfer the file to your device
duh!
thanks!
bluefire is amazing. i bought it.
I came close to getting bluefire to work on our Cisco network... But once connected it would not transfer data.
I read on a seperate post here that alledgely the medianet unlimited plan uses the wap.cingular access point. That point is NAT based and some vpn clients do not like that... So they refuse the connection based on changing ip addresses.
I am not a networking expert so I do not know if this is in fact the case.
I do know I tried every freakin setting for bluefile and could not get a vpn tunnel from my phone to our Cisco vpn... So I gave up!
NCP
Could I get more specific infos about bluefire? They wanted a 5 page survey before they would send me a (business) trial.
Well, NCP Secure Entry VPN Client works perfect for me with Lancom and other standard firewalls. And yes, configuration is made with a Win XP Desktop Application. Nice about this: They got a Desktop VPN client as well which will be configured exactly the same way. So if you got a working setting for your Laptop you can manually copy the settings and they will work on the PPC as well - thats what I did.

Connect to schoolNetwork

Hi, I am from Sweden and this is my first post here at XDA.
I got a HTC p3600, it´s upgraded to WM 6.5 and it works awesome.
Now the problem. The WLAN works great at home and other open networks/ if i got the key.
In my school we got WLAN but i can´t connect to it. I find it in the WLAN-list but there it ends. My friend with an Iphone just select the network and then he can insert his username and password, and woila! He´s in.
When i try to connect the server wants a "Certifikat" in swedish. I have tried to do a "Domain enroll" to get it But it always fail.
I think they use Windows Server 2003.
Does anybody understand my bad language? If you wanna know any more, just tell me.
Same problem here, trying for some weeks to find a solution and so far all attempts with different clients failed. I`m sure it`s not a windows server but a cisco concentrator that let`s You access wlan and it seems there is no free client that can communicate correctly with cisco hardware for winmobile. Iphones have a vpn client directly from cisco integrated and can pass without problems. Try to ask Your computer center what concentrator they use and if they know of a client that supports winmobile.
Some forums mention a registry hack that deactivates certificate authentication but just setting it didn`t help. We`re still trying if this might work in conjunction with a locally installed certificate. Try to get the root certificate of Your CA and import it to Your device. Might help. Somehow they screwed up PEAP on mobile clients cause it`s supposed to work without local certificates but alas...

Thanks for the answer!
Would it be possible to to install some kind of program from cisco to make it work?
Unfortunately Cisco doesn`t do any winmo clients, they licensed it to other companies. Tried with Root CA yesterday but that didn`t work, maybe we need a valid client cert too. Have to get a personal one from our uni CA the days.
Try installing secureW2
http://www.securew2.com/node/3
This is a program specifically designed to work with wpa2 networks offered through a radius server. Most schools and universities use a radius server. You will need a local login and password though.
When installed, you can select securew2 in the certificate window of wifi settings, when you try to connect to the wireless network.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried with various clients, none of them worked, securew2 was among them. But maybe it works with fiddyboy.
A page mentioned some older hardware may not cope with mixed wpa modes, maybe P3600 is among them but I really don`t think so...

Edit: I am not getting it to work. Can someone help me with the settings?
I am sorry, but I don't know what settings to use in your specific case... These settings should be made available by your school or company, most of the time the settings for laptops will give enough information too
which rom do you use to upgrade to windows mobile 6.5
Finally got it to work. We have different WLANs here at our university. I had no luck connecting to our VPN-network so I tried our eduroam WLAN. Eduroam is a roaming network for educational purposes. If You have a login from Your uni/school/whatever You should be able to access the internet from any eduroam network worldwide.
As You said You were asked for a certificate I think Your network relies on the same technologies as ours because I had the same error before. Following explanation:
Our eduroam RADIUS server is certified.
This means our uni gave it a certificate. Our uni was certified by and got a certificate from the DFN (german research net). The DFN was certified by and got a certificate from the german Telekom.
This is called a certificate chain with the DFN as intermediary and Telekom as root certificate authority.
What I had to do is import just the root certificate (from Telekom) to my mobile device by downloading it from our unis webpage, transferring it to the Trinity and just click on it. It confirmed installation and the root ca is listed under the Settings>System>Certificates>Root.
Edit : Normal certs are with *.crt ending. MinMo wants *.cer-files. If You only can get Your hands on *.crt import them into Your PC browser, export from there with DER-encoding and rename *.der to *.cer. That`s it.
Our eduroam RADIUS server authentication is via PEAP.
So I configured the network connection like this:
connects to : internet
authentication : wpa2
data encryption : aes
eap type : PEAP
Connect. When prompted put in Your uni account credentials.
This worked on WinMo 6.1 and 6.5 Without the ValidateServerCert reghack or any other other special program.
WinMo5 failed! Also tried the ValidateServerCert reghack but it`s of no use. Think it`s because WM5 has no wpa2-aes support. If Your RADIUS allows wpa and tkip it may work.
Maybe if this doesn`t work Your server it uses something other than wpa2 or aes. Try different options. Maybe it`s not using PEAP. Ask Your admin but try with a certificate first.
The strange thing is that PEAP was used to avoid handling of certificates; it`s especially there to NOT have to fiddle with them. Anyway, this works here, hope this is the solution for Your location...
you should just buy a protable harddrive or a flash drive and transfer your files onto that and then onto your computer.
Hi, I have same problem, trying to use eduroam on CTU, my Notebook/Laptop WiFi work ok, but I can't connect with TD2 Topaz. I have instaled required certificate, but in options I have no way to set concrete RADIUS server to connect (which is required to be specified in settings on Notebook). Any ideas please? I Also installed securew2, but I can't add Cesnet CA in securew2 options, even it is installed in system (I is present in setings-certificates in WM).
When You have WinMo 6.1 You shouldn`t need securew2 and there is no need to explicitly set RADIUS IP. Have You tried eap-type : PEAP ? What`s the error message if any ?
