I'm having a problem authenticating to network shares over wifi. I don't have any problems authenticating to regular workgroup computers but in this instance I'm trying to connect to my server which is a domain controller. It appears wm6 is having problems with the authentication when using domain accounts versus regular local computer ones...
I checked the event viewer and as far as the server is concerned the login was successful but wm6 is saying login failed....
does anyone know how I might be able to connect to these shares?
thanks very much

I've just set up a small wireless network at home through which I intend to use several devices to connect to the internet through my LAN!
The LAN gateway is running ISA 2004 and my home computer is running the necessary Firewall client (a completely secure connection with username and password)!
Now everything's working fine... the pocket pc hooks up just right and i can browse the network and do what I could probably do using my own personal computer BUT the internet doesn't work!
It keeps asking me for a username and password (which like i usually provide in internet explorer on my personal computer) which i do supply... three times in a row after which it gives me an error saying that ISA cannot authenticate me!
The home computer doesn;t run the internet without the firewall client, and i'm supposing the pocket pc is facing the same dilemma! is there any way to circumvent this issue? perhaps a mobile version of the isa firewall client?
Please help. Thanks!
afaik there isn't a mobile version of the firewall client.
I set my ISA server to allow anonymous internet access ,and set all my machines up as secure nat clients (set isa servers ip as default gateway, I use a dhcp scope to do this). There is lots of info on this on microsofts ISA server website, I'd suggest a look there first, or try a google for secure nat.
Good luck, works well for me but ymmv.
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
Background to my problem
At our office, we have Small Bus Server 2003 with the new Exchange SP installed. Our web site domain name is not mapped to our local server, but hosted on a external commercial one.
Our router/firewall has one fixed IP address that is connected to the web, while all the workstations have local address like 192.168.10.xxx, etc.. To configure Activesnc to work from outside our network, all I had to do is enter the fixed IP address into the server settings in Active sync and it connects.
The problem occurs if the Wizard is connected to a PC via USB in the network. At this point, active sync is looking for an external IP address instead of the real address of the server which is 192.168.10.xxx.
So, I configured a custom DNS with our domain hosting provider to have "mail.domain.name" redirected to our fixed IP address. With a little tweaking on the router, this works! In ActiveSync I can enter just "mail.domain.name" instead of the external IP and it works from the outside.
Now, to sync while connected to the network, I have to manually change the server address every time to reflect 192.168.10.100. Ideally, i would like to somehow tell my local server that any request inernally sent to "mail.domain.name" gets redirected to 192.168.10.100 instead of going out on the web. This would solve my problem of changing the server address everytime I'm in the office.
Does anyone know how to do this in Small Business Server 2003? Is there another way to keep the same server settings in/out of our network?
Thanks
Rob
Hi
Got an odd one. at work we have a domain (active directories and all the rest of it). as a result only domain computers can access the internet via the proxy server.
so my desktop works just fine being on the domain, but when i active sync my wizard, active sync effectively puts my phone on the network and nicks the proxy settings from my desktop. but the proxy rejects my phone as its not a domain machine. sure others have this issue.
does anyone know of some errr mini proxy server or something like that, that can run on my desktop to act as a server for my networked phone, meaning the proxy will not even see my phone and therefore not reject it.
i have messed with windows network sharing etc... and i don't think its the way to go.
anyone have any ideas?
hi all ppl, i was wondering if anyone could help with setting up a vpn on my home.
the router/firewall that acts as a server is a netgear dg834g and I would like to connect my HD. i never get to connecting and the errors are:
- when i use ip address it asks for log & password. I haven't set up any log/pass in the router as there is NO possibility to do that! then i try to login as administrator (from the local PCs) and the error is "the remote party has ended this connection." same thing if i leave both fields blank.
- when i use the dyndns alias everything happens the same way but the error msg i get then is "VPN server problems. Verify your username and password, and try again etc etc".
note that i have setup both machines to use ipsec with a pre-shared key which is typed correctly (it seems to be recognized/accepted by the router)
am i missing something stupid here or simply my router does not support winmo ?
any help/tip will be highly appreciated. thanks!
check the mac address filtering tables, or try to experiment with different authentications mode.
