Unable to stay connected to VPN server via Wifi

[therock112]

I am not able to stay connected to Windows 2003 pptp vpn server.

When i look at the logs on the server, it indicates the pda2k authenticated, ip address assigned, then it immediately disconnects, no errors on the server and no errors on the devie either......this is puzzling.

any ideas?

thanks.

I have exactly the same problem. I can see the connection is established on the PC but it drops after about 3 seconds. Really bugging me now.

believe it effectively relates to the differences in the pocket pc using "internet" and "work" when choosing and establishing a connection type. internet expects "." in its addresses, whereas work doesnt and anticipates the use of Named addresses such as the name of your server, however, I dont find the DNS effective for this.

to allow it to work when the VPN is on a work connection, I think you need to use the exceptions tab, and insert the IP addresses you are using to connect as an exception to the rules, thus allowing 10.0.0.1 as an address if this the address to your server.

There are posts on this forum that are more specific, but this is the gist of it, search WIFI VPN or similar. Same method if using a VPN over GPRS.

I can connect after a softreset...it maybe work 1-10 times in a row...and then it just stops and dont work again...not until I do a softreset again!

I can go up on gprs and such and surf the net just fine...but not onto vpn.
