I have some dumb VPn questions, figured XDA maybe could help me... - Windows 8 General

Sorry but I don't have another resource to ask and I am always on XDA...
I am trying to connect from a home Windows 8 via RDC to a VPN at a Dr's office. I have all the info I need to connect but am not able to. The remote computer is requesting my login verification but none of my known logins are working.
I am probably incorrectly using the RDC client for the VPN purpose. I am using it with the outside IP and not using any VPN tunnel prior. Is this incorrect?
I have the IPSEC Grup Name and Password as well as VPN Shared Key and even an instruction that says: VPN CONNECTION FROM REMOTE, but no matter what I try I don't get connected.
I tried from my WP8 phone and was able to literally see the Windows Server 2008 logon screen but then was unable to login. Perhaps the username syntax is incorrect and I need to use a domain?
So can anyone offer me a bit of advice?
Do I need to use some sort of cisco software to connect to the cisco vpn before logging on with the RDC?

Remote Desktop is not a VPN protocol. If you want to connect to a server that is only visible on a VPN (i.e. not available to the Internet at large, which is quite common), you'll need to first connect to the VPN (which is basically an encrypted "LAN" connection that goes over the Internet) and then you'll be able to use RDP to that server.
Depending on the type of VPN, you may need to download and install the VPN software on your PC first, or you may be able to use Windows' built-in VPN client. To do the latter, these are the steps on Win8:
1. Open the "Network and Sharing Center" (can be done from Start search or by right-clicking the network icon in the system tray on the desktop).
2. Click "Set up a Connection or Network".
3. Select "Connect to a workplace" and hit Next.
4. Click "Use my Internet connection (VPN)".
5. Enter the name of the VPN server where it says "Internet address" (there are some examples), and give it a name (like "Doctor's office VPN").
6. If you have a Smart Card (unlikely but possible) then select the checkbox for that. If you're on a shared computer, you might want to uncheck "Remember my credentials".
7. Once the options you want are selected, hit Create.
8. The connection will appear in the Networks list (click the Network icon on the desktop, or use Settings charm -> network button).
9. Click it and choose Connect.
10. Type in your user name for the VPN (you may need to specify a domain, such as DRDOMAIN\username).
11. Type in your password for the VPN, and hit OK.
12. Once it says you're connected, you should be able to access resources on the VPN (such as the Remote Desktop server).
EDIT: I just saw that you mention it's a Cisco VPN. Yes, you'll need Cisco's VPN software (the above steps will probably not work). You should ask the office how to get a copy of it and how to use it.

Use Terminal Services Client Over VPN

I would like to use the built-in terminal services client to connect to one of our servers using the GPRS/VPN connection I am able to establish.
The problem is as follows:
I can establish the GPRS/EDGE connection to the internet. I then connect to the VPN and it shows that both connections are connected and data is running over the connection. I can ping the servers IP address, but as soon as I try to connect through the TS Client, it disconnects the VPN.
Has anyone been able to get this to work?
Be sure that your terminal server name does not has dots in the name. WM5 thinks that any name with dots is from Internet, and any name without is the Intranet ("my work network"). So, if you try to connect, for example, to the server named trm.company.com, WM% decides it is on the Internet and drops МЗТ connection.
To fix it: go to "Settings" -> "Connections" -> "Advanced" tab -> "Exceptions..." button, and add the server name with dots to the "Work URL" list.
If it helps, please, let us know here.
Thanks.
I have tried you recommendations and now the VPN does not disconnect. I think their must be some security enabled on the terminal server as I still can't connect. I think it must be something to do with Citrix or the encryption level on the server. I will investigate further.
Can you explain me waht is Terminal Services Client? (Any screenshot?)
Can I use it with my Jamin and laptop with USB cable or WiFi?
Many thanks!
The terminal services client is an application which is included in the ROM of most PDA phones. It allows you to connect to a terminal server from you PDA much like you would normally do it from you workstation using Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop Client = Terminal Services Client
If you go to Start, Programs on your PDA you should see the application listed there.
You can either do one of the following to use the client.
1. Connect you Jamin to you PC using the USB. You will need to activate the Modem Link application. Dial the GPRS connection from the PC and then connect to the terminal server using Remote Desktop on you machine.
2. Open a GPRS connection on the PDA (Not Connected to the PC). Open the terminal services client on the PDA and connect to the terminal server.
Great!
The connection must be always GPRS? I'll pay for do this?
Have you some screenshot?

Relaxxx! If you don't know what is it - it means that you don't need it at all
To access aremote desktop you need any IP connectivity: GPRS, EDGE, WiFi, but the desktop you connect to is not a service It can be your home PC or your business server, but it is not a thing you can use as, for example, any web site.
You need to establish a server by yourself or got an account for your company IT guys. You will pay for IP traffic, of course...

I've checked out the remote desktop with Win2000 server, but without VPN, on the Active Sync connection, it is OK. Ensure that your server uses RDP protocol (Microsoft), not Citrix propiertary protocol.

** make sure that you have windows xp pro**
1. download this file onto your pda and run it.
2. make sure that if you are using a router the you open up port 3389... it has to be this port and no other
3. on your desktop goto start/settings/control panel/system/remote and click the box that says "allow users to connect remotely to this computer", that is it you don't need to click anything else
4. open up the program and type in your ip address without the port number then username and password - which must match your windows login and password.

All good advice but this may not work if your office PC is behind a firewall / your office network uses Network Address Translation or you need a VPN to access the network. Give it a go and see what happens but if the IP address of your office PC starts 10.0.0 or 192.168 or similar, it is unlikely to work. You will then have to use a remote access service.

Also if your IP's range anywhere within 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255, the you're behind a firewall.

If you're just using 3G/HSDPA you shouldn't have any problems connecting.
If you've got a DSL connection with a dynamic IP address (like mine with Virgin Media) Just register and download the NO-IP software (www.no-ip.com - it's free) then instead of typing in your Ip address on RD you'll put "....no-ip.biz" - or whatever they assign you.
As already stated you HAVE to open up port 3389 on your router and assign it to the relevant pc. This number you will find by entering "ipconfig" in the cmd window. Be aware that if your router gets turned off you could find that the IP address of your computer changes, so you'll have to go back into your router settings and change it to the new ip address for that pc.
I've tested RDP on XP Pro, Media Center 2005 and Vista. I found it to be a little better when the host was a Vista pc - whether this is my imagination or because it is designed with Vista in mind I don't know.

Of course, this only applies if you are not behind a corporate firewall using NAT or other dynamic IP behind the firewall. Also, if it is a corporate network, opening port 3389 may be (a) very difficult to convince your IT dept to do and (b) not very secure!
If one iof the dynamic dns systems works for you, you might try dyndns.org

WiFi settings

I want to make a WiFi connection on my school. But I have to make some setting changes. I have the HTC Trinity with WM6.
I have to satisfy to these settings:
- Wlan network name: tue
- Security mode: 802.1x with dynamic WEP keys
- Authentication protocol: PEAP with MSCHAPv2
- Root certificaat: GTE Cybertrust Global Root
Where do I make these changes?
On your's school router or wifi access point in your school
but sadly I have to make these changes on my pda
According to school these are the settings specially made for smartphones/pda

If it is set on your's router in school, then your PDA or smartphone will see these settings automatically
Otherwise look in start-settings(instellingen)-connections(verbindingen)-wi-fi, there you can add new network connection and apply these settings
But that's the problem.. I can't apply these settings.
When I configure Netwerk Authentication I'll come till "Use IEEE 802.x network acces control"
When I select this and choose for PEAP and I want to change the Properties I get this message:
Warning
Cannot log on to the wireless network. This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you

Where can I make and/or change this personal certification?
been having the same message, anyone knows where to find the certificate?
Hi,
So,
1. You want to connect wirelessly to your School's network, right? .......and that
2. The network settings that you stated in your opening post were given to you by your School Network Administrator, right? ......finally, that
3. Your School Network Administrator had indeed, ACTUALLY given authority to your device (HTC Trinity) in the Access Control List to access the school's network, right?
In that case, he (the School Network Administrator) MUST have assigned an IP Address to your device (or entered its MAC address and configured it as such, inside the router/wireless access point.
Did you make sure that he did actually do so? Ask him to confirm this for you. I'm saying this because if he (the School Network Administrator) hadn't configured your device to have access to your school's network, you'll be wasting your time trying to access it, 'cos as you know, it is a secure network hence, it can not identify your device.
The only way that your device could be identified to access the school's network (never mind the settings provided in your opening post), is only, and only if, it had been configured in the ACL - Access Control List within the router, otherwise every Tom, **** and Harry would simply access the school's network, willy-nilly and wreak all sorts of havoc. See what I mean?
If indeed, he (the School Network Administrator) had given you access to the school's network, just ask him or her to give you the IP Address that he assigned to your device and then enter it in the Wi-Fi configuration of your network in Trinity, as you had been doing and everything should work fine - no more headaches!!
BOTTOM LINE:
If there is no entry for your device in the Access Control List of the school's router/wireless access point, you've got no chance 'cos your device would be refused access at all times because the router/wireless access point does NOT recognise it.
You ask him (the School Network Administrator) to give access to your device - either by using it's MAC address or IP Address), then you'll be laughing 'cos then you'll be able to have access, wirelessly.
I do hope that this gives you pointers to help solve your problem 'cos that's the only solution that I can offer.

Sorry to bring alive an old post, but I have been receiving the exact same message requiring a "personal certificate." What I don't understand is that the network prompts me for my username/password - each device is not set up individually. For example, I can take my laptop to school and connect to the network as long as I have my username and password. What is the difference between XP and WM6 in this respect? Why can't I just enter my user/pass on my Wing and connect just like I would with a laptop?

This has bugged me for a long time with Windows Mobile 5/6 & 802.1x with PEAP (WEP & WPA/WPA2). You should in theory be able to just use MSCHAPv2 and a Username/Password to authenticate yourself but there seems to be no way of turning off the client checking the servers validity - i.e. having a valid & trusted certificate (you can disable this checking with Windows XP's 802.1x supplicant). So all you should need is the servers public certificate installed on your device.
When I was testing this a while ago I had some sucess but the 'personal certificate' message was a problem. In the end I just enrolled the device with the domains CA and have a personal certificate installed (as well as the CA's certificate which gets installed at the same time).
Enrolling for certificates is much easier now with Windows Mobile 6 and ActiveSync 4.5 since you can enroll the device from ActiveSync on the host PC.

Interesting, Andy,
I haven't yet had the chance to test this change yet, but a few searches has turned up a registry key that we can add -
(quoted from somewhere on the internet)
"The only thing you have to do is to add a DWORD Regestry Entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MAICHNE-->Comm-->EAP-->Extension-->25
Name:"ValidateServerCert"
Value: 1 to activate Validation, 0 to turn it off"
Have you tried making this change before just registering a certificate? If it doesn't work, do you remember the basic steps for retrieving a certificate from a computer via activesync? If I do transfer a certificate from a laptop, do I need to register the device with the administrator? It seems that everyone from the IT department I've talkd to has no idea what they're talking about.

Messenger using port 80?

Is there such a thing?
Im using unlimited internet plan for port 80 which means i can surf over the net for html pages with no additional charge.
Now my question is if theres a messenger that uses that port so i dont must wifi or data plan to use it?
Thanks.
eran.
im not sure but you could try ebuddy, or any other html based messenger
if you have access to a vpn, ssh-server or a proxy server you can tunnel your connection through them which is supported by almost every mobile messenger client.
hi,
use open vpn, a good solution to create and use a tunnel via your pc connection, than your pc will be the server that you can connect on with your 3g+ connection.
i tried that today with success, and used msn messenger and push mail, all with my wap Sfr connection, that use the port 80.
use google for research, and send a message if you need help....i'll try even if my english is not perfect....but think i can help.

you can use a simple ssh server for tunneling, too. that's more simple than the configuration of a whole vpn.
First you have to have con trol over such a server (I use a vserver of mine), than have the server listen on not only the ssh port but also a http one(if you have a webserver too running in the ssh server host, you maybe can't useport 80, but luckily my provider has also port 8080 open, because it is often used for http proxies).
now download pocketputty from the internet.
in the session tab enter yout servers ip and choose ssh, but change the port to 8080.
now go to the tunnel tab (as there are many tabs, maybe you cant see it at first, but it's there).
now you enter a free port on your mobile in the source field (I use 50 for example), the destination is the ip of your ssh server, and check dynamic. now click add.
then change back to the session tab, give you settings a name in the field stored sessions and klick save.
now the settings are stored and you can start the connection by double klicken on the name of your session that is now listed unter (Default Settings) in the sessions list.
The ssh connection will open and you will to have to log you into the ssh server, with a user (the name is not important, and it needn't to be the super user ;-) ), that has a shell.
when you're logged in open your mobile icq client. now go to the proxy settings of it and choose socks as proxy server type, the proxy address is localhost and the port the one you chose in the source field in the ppcoektputty tunnel tab. (so putty is your local socks proxy server).
now you should be able to connect thorugh the ssh tunnel to icq.
if you use your mobile sionmetimes as modem for a laptop, the trick works very similiar with the normal putty and a non mobile windows ;-)

I really got lost...
I couldnt find application for ssh server which i understand how to work with..
i wouldnt mind some help...
first you need a server in the internet for that, because you need an endpoint for the ssh connection.
as i said i have a linux server under my control. if you don't have an internet server or access to one with a ssh account, which I doubt reading your post, this solution isn't maybe the best for you, because have such a server costs about 8-10 euro or dollars a month, and as I need it for other things to, this costs are ok for me.
an alternative maybe would be an vpn account by a vpn provider which costs less, but then the way to get it to work is a bit differnet.
I just thought I could set up such a server on my own computer...if possible.
I did understand i can do that, but i didnt understand how
Nevermind, I will try other solutions..
thanks
hmm, this would be possible, but your computer would have to be reachable under a fest address from the internet (which oculd be done using dyndns). Are you using windows or linux in your machine?
Usually my computer is online all the time, so it wouldnt be a problem
And using a dynamic hostname with dyndns is what I thought about at first place.
my pc is running windows

instead of XX.xx.xx.xx you must fill your internet IP thaht you can see here http://www.ip-adress.com/, and may be you have to change port to 443 instead of 80 in config files....that works with me,dont forget port forwarding in your router if you have one, mens you have to redirect incoming connection on port 80, and 443 to the pc that have openvpn.
but first of all you have to make your server work on the pc, some times you have to kill openvpn activites making CTRL+ALT+Del, to make open vpn GUi work and the vpn connect....see for next episode.
Ok,
im kind of stuck again....
I configured the vpn program and did everything by the guide,
Now i need to add a vpn connection to my regular 3g settings?
I did that, with my IP address, and it asks for user and password
i assumed its tcp-client like in the config file,
and password one of the keys in key.txt file..
but it doesnt work.
or i didnt do it right.

So, when you launch open vpn on your PC, with the GUI (the incon of open vpn on the bureau), do you have the little yellow incon down right your pc screen and a message of connection success....you must first of all secceed to make your vpn work...after for the pocket pc its really nothing.....
PS: the client config must be in the config folder of your ppc with the key....personnally i made a copy of the key in the base folder of the device cause sometimes the key is not detected in the config folder.
and important to set your connection on "my work network" not wap in the avanced connections configuration.....but tell you make a seccessful vpn connection first and for the ppc its will be a joke...

Ok, i feel like it comes to an end...
the vpn server on my pc is working, the application openvpn.exe is running in the background and i do have that network enabled and running.
I found and installed open vpn for ppc,
its a bit annoying it cant run on a window and that its running on the background screen, meaning my touchflow (im using htc diamond) is hiding it, so i need to disable the touchflow when i need to configure the app.
(maybe solutions?)
now i need to copy the configuration files and the key file i have in the config folder of the computer to the ppc folder?
And what next?
Thanks

when you choose to allow remote desktop connections, make sure you use the
"allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop (less secure)" otherwise it wont connect.
Window xp only have 1 option to choose from .
Remote Desktop : Allow user to connect remotely to this computer.
First try to connect from other normal computer.
did you open wifi in hd2?
yes i enabled wifi .
@@ dr.sid. i only have 1 Pc.
if you guys are behind routers, make sure you have the right port forwarding set up and check the ip address of your comp from the router. Also, make sure you're connected to router via wifi on you phone

This is all out of memory, so I appologize if i'm wrong, but don't you need to also add port forwarding for port 80?
tried forwarded port 80 does not work too.
Tried it today, but it's not working for me either :/
I've gotten it to work before so I don't know what's going on...
I know that I use the correct ip and username + password
try this
Enter the domain name as the full computer name with no spaces as well as user name/ip (public or local).
In comm manager go to set up data connection and select adavanced tab.
under connections select 'select networks'.
Then select the edit tab on the my work network, followed by the proxy tab on the bottom. Then tick box ''this network connects to the internet''.
press ok and then try and connect. This works a treat on 3g. have not tried on wifi but i guess its the same.
