I'm unable to connect my Universal to my work wireless network. I set the network up in the first place, and have managed to connect other WM5 devices, so I know it's not specifically a WM5 problem. I've tried a couple of T-Mobile ROMs and a Qtek ROM.
The network uses EAP-TLS to authenticate certificates. When I try to connect, the Network Cards applet shows the connection as Connecting, but the Wireless LAN applet shows the connection as Connected. However, it doesn't receive an IP address and eventually gives itself a 169.254 address. The IIS server shows the connection as authenticated.
I reported this to T-Mobile months ago, but have given up on ever getting a reply. Does anyone have any similar experiences?

Hi
I searched the forums for info, seems that others have had issues trying to connect a VPN session over WiFi. Basically, my wifi (internet) is connected, the 'Connect VPN' option appears in the 'Connectivity' bubble, but tapping 'connect vpn results in the unit trying for a while to connect and then giving up with no error.
Probably yet another XDA bug. My device is the XDA IIs (Blue Angel).
Anyone got a VPN going over wifi?
For the record, it (VPN) works fine over GPRS, although the implementation is shockingly bad. You cant hit boxes on yr lan via IP, it drops the VPN the moment you try. I guess i'll have to set up some hosts file to fool the sack of crap into realising that it needs to head down the VPN to get to said ip.

Check your ip's, they must be in different subnets at each end of the vpn eg (192.168.1.--- >>>><<<<192.168.0.---). If they are both in the the same range then packets won't be routed correctly.
I use vpn over a wifi lan every day, and it works like a dream (on an xda2 with soket wifi card).
Hi
Yeah, they are in different subnets, still refuses to connect. God knows. The wifi implementation on the Blue Angel is bugged to hell so I suspect this is just another bug.

I can get my VPN to connect.
My M2000 is connected to my local lan via wifi (192.168.0.0) and I have set up a VPN to my work lan (172.16.0.0).
The vpn connects and shows as connected in the connection dialog bubble.
However, I can't see/ping anything on my work network.
The PPTP NDISWAN Miniport adapter shows as not connected.
Using xvIpconfig i can see that there are two active adapters.
One is my wifi card...all ok there.
The other is called RAS VPN Line 0.
It seems to have a correct IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for my work network but it says that DHCP is disabled.
Also the adapter address is 00-00-00-00-00-00...that can't be right can it ?
VPN
hi guys, have you made any progress with the vpn and the blue angel. I am having the same problem - VPN appears to connect fine and then drops without any errors etc. to make matters worse i deleted all 02 connections so now i can't even see the vpn connection. Help!!!

Done a search on various site but still no joy.
Just got a o2 XDA Mini S yesterday.But I cannot get it to connect to my wireless network at home.Its an open network, with a laptop,3 PC's,2 xbox's accessing it various times of day.All connect no problem.
My xda says my network is available,but cannot connect to it. Do I need to put in IP addresses in manually ? On the network cards section, it the SDIO WLAN wireless adapter that is used ?
Have tried allsorts,
First Question,
Is your WiFi router set to DHCP mode. If so then check that your device is also set to DHCP mode. If not change router to DHCP check that all your other devices are set to DHCP then you should automatically be allocated an IP address. A useful utility is WiFi Companion.
This scans for available networks and allows you to connect. it will also show you the IP address you have been assigned.
You could assign an IP address manually but this will have to be changed every time you walk on to another network. DHCP is better.

Thanks for the info DW, it is my router,popped round a mates last night and it connected to his network ok.
Will check what you said and the firewall
not sure by what you mean exactly by open network.
but are you using MAC address filtering?
when I got the Sony Laptop, I was so eager to get it all setup etc, that I forgot bout the filtering, it would see the network, but refused to connect.
I'm having the same problem. My Exec can see the network but not connect. I investigated it a bit more and for some reason it keeps trying to use the same IP address as my laptop. It also cannot connect to the net to update Avant Go when it's syncing (via my laptop).
I've tried connecting with all other devices switched off, to avoid the IP address conflict, but still cannot connect to the internet.
I'm pretty much stumped.
Setting the Wireless power setting for best performance was the trump for me.
On my Vario - Settings - Connections - Wireless LAN - Power Mode
Thanks for the suggestion. I gave it a try but unfortunately it didn't help.
If my laptop is switched off my Exec can connect to my D-Link router, but I cannot access any internet resources. I presume that somewhere in the settings is the solution but I can't find it.
EXCELLENT db44!!!
For some reasons setting wireless "best performance" wortked for me too. Wizard (QTEK 9100 - gray market I guess as QTEK did not register on their site for me). I will still try Opera too.
Kind regards,
Oleg.

same thing happened to my qtek. it detected the network but could not connect and sometimes when it got connected, i still couldn't surf the net. is there anything in the settings that i'm missing? i also tried to enter the IP address manually but no luck either.
My O2 XDA Mini arrived yesterday. It sees my wireless network (as well as two others in my neighborhood) but cannot/will not connect. I've tried everything I've read above - which confirms I'm on the right trail, but...
The D-Link DI-624 wireless router is in DCHP mode. I've dropped all security for connection trials. I've put the MAC address of the XDA in the router, just in case. I cannot find the IP address of the Mini (how do you do that?), but have tried with and without allowing the router to assign it a random and an assigned IP address. My router does NOT have the default (198.162, etc, etc IP address.) so I've been careful not to blindly follow standard instructions. Of course, I have tried with specific IP addresses, default gateway (router), etc, etc.
One clue is that after trying for a long time to connect to the networks it finds, I got one error message from the XDA saying it could not be assigned an IP address from the network(s). Good clue - wish I know what it means.
There are only limited settings to check on the XDA, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something on the router. Any ideas? Many thanks.

I have just purchased a dopod 838. While I enjoy it very much, I do have one problem I don't seem to be able to solve. The problem is as follows: my device finds and connects to my Wi-Fi net, it indicates that the signal is good (and the net is an open one, no need for any password), but even though I am connected, I can not browse the Internet or send or receive e-mails. I tried to find answers in the user guide, but all I find there are generalities. I guess it has something to do with the settings on my device, but it is really frustrating, as the main reason I switched to the 838 modal is the Wi-Fi. I think the problem may be connected to the Network Adapters. When I check the Network Adapters I see the following list:
PPTP NDISWAN Minipot
L2TP NDISWAN Minipot
AsycMac NDISWAN Minipot
Virtual Ethernet Intermediate Minipot
Remote-NDIS Host
NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver
SDIO WLAN Wireless Adaptor
The only one that is indicating the IP Address is the SDIO WLAN Wireless Adaptor, but is it the one to use out of the list? And if so, I do I do that? How do I set it to be the default adaptor?
Please help...
Thanks
Benny
I only do the setup one time for my friend. Hope that can help.
If the network hadn't any protect, you can just choice this on the screen when this had been found. It don't need any setup for a unprotected network.
If the network is protected, "password / soid / encrypt". You need to setup a network card, setting > connection > network card , with all the details before you can use the network.
No success
I have many adapters, it seems to me that the only one that is the correct one is the SDIO, but I can not make it the default one.
Internet access through Wi-Fi
If you've created a wireless network between you PC and your device, you need to 'share' your internet access on your PC. Also if you have a Firewall you need to enble that too, for mine it was the generic sub-program 'svchost'. Hope this helps.
no need to set the SDIO Wireless Lan Adaptor to default. That list is just a list and has nothing to do with privilege.
i think the problem is that your Wirelan has some restrictions to access,eg. MAC address. So,ask your network administrator for help ;-)
I have an iMate Jasjar.
WiFi works fine for AvantGo updates and Weather panel updates but Pocket IE and Terminal Server Client refuse to use existing WiFi link! :x
PIE always uses GPRS and if I flight-mode my radio, it simply fails to connect complaining about no GPRS connection! :evil:
Solution:
I installed Opera Browser Beta for PPC. It works over WiFi no problems.
My trial period is nearly up so they'll get some of my money. :wink:
Can anyone connect to VPN (PPTP) using WM5 via wireless or GPRS?? When i use my old XDAIIi or II, i can connect by now using WM5 i cannot.
Hope those can connect please share. tks.
I can connect to a Windows 2000 PPTP VPN via wireless -- make sure that in Settings/Network Cards/Network Adapters, your network card is set to connect to the Work network.
Also, in Settings/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks, make sure that the lower droplist (private network) is configured to use the Work network.
Aside from those two items, I can't think of any other gotchas.
Ya still doesn't work......
do you know what the vpn device is that you are trying to connect to?
windows servers tend to be quite reliable. there are known issues with some checkpoint and cisco devices.
Hello,
I am having the same problem! I cant connect via VPN (PPTP) to my Windows Server 2003 RAS setup. It works perfectly fine on my laptop over the internet but when I try to connect using my Cinguar 8125 I get a generic "Invalid username/password' kind of error message. I have tried several differnt things, but I was wondering if there are security settings that are turned off or something like that? I actually have my RAS policy to let any device establish a VPN connection (obviously as long as it is authenticated) so I dont know what to do next... any suggestions??

For me works fine. I have only 2 connections:
a) my isp, with gprs configuration for vodafone
b) my work network, with the vpn connection definition (ip address, user, passw and domain)
I have it set up the same way and I still get the password issue... what kind of policies do you have in RAS?

did you uncheck the security in the connection with the server?
take care with the name user, times exchange get crazy: server/user or only user name for the user field...
Public IP

Hi! I am not an Network expert at all, but here in Norway with one teleoperator we have to use a special access point name on My Work Network connection to get a public IP-address so Network accepts the connection. Perhaps nothing to do with your problem, but also we experience a lot of PDA users having no problem with pre-WM5 devices and much problems with WM5 devices and VPN
Hi, I've got a bluetooth adapter for my laptop. I've tried setting up my Treo 750 that I recently upgraded to Windows Mobile 6 to tether to my laptop for internet access. Looks like Bluetooth DUN is disabled in AT&T's WM6 rom. So I figured the PAN route seems better anyway since I think it doesn't drop the connection when a call comes in (although it takes more steps to initiate it every time, kind of a pain...). So it looked pretty easy to set up. I paired the devices, set up Internet Sharing on the Treo, and set my laptop to connect to my phone through PAN and all seems to connect fine, but I can't ever actually get on the internet. The phone shows connected, the laptop shows connected. The phone offers three options for internet sharing - AT&T, ICS, and proxy. AT&T or proxy both seem to connect, ICS does not. I noticed on my laptop that my IP address for the bluetooth PAN is 0.0.0.0. I don't know if that matters or not for this type of connection. Also, I've tried this with both the MS bluetooth stack and Toshiba bluetooth stack with the same results. All seems to pair and connect perfectly, I just get no IP address, no DNS servers, and (because of that, I think) no internet connection.
Also, if I try to do an ipconfig /renew I get "An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection 3 : The RPC server is unavailable."
My Local area connection 3 shows as "Bluetooth Personal Area Network".
DHCP shows as enabled, but ip, subnet, and dhcp servers show up as 0.0.0.0.
And you know what else, come to think of it is that a couple of times it complained about there being an IP address conflict on the network. I can't guarantee that it's related... at the time my wireless LAN was on and working correctly.
Solved!
Well, I'm sure nobody else is likely to have this same problem, but it so happens that my DHCP Client service wasn't running. I'd gotten some windows update that screwed up my laptop and was spitting out Generic Host Process Errors. If anyone cares, see here - http://motls.blogspot.com/2006/08/generic-host-process-for-win32.html
Excellent and thanks
I few days ago this problem happend with my Laptop, three day trying to find something... And almost change my phone, thanks
