VPN using new T-mobile UK ROM - cant get it to work

[GDawes]

I work in IT and often need to conect to customer sites to resolve issues.
Many of our custoemrs allow me to have VPN access in.
This works a dream from XP PRO.

However I thought I would try and access 2 customers via VPN over WIFI from my MDA PRO which I have just upgraded to the latest T-mobile UK ROM.

I created my 2 connections both use PPTP.
I then tried to connect one of them , holding the stylus over the connection I wanted and selecting connect.

Nothing seems to happen.

Rebooted
tried again the same.

Disabled WIFI and tried over the usb connection and activesysnc, nothing.

How do you know when you are connected.

I removed the password info and tried to connect again.
Exepecting to be prompted for password.

nothing appears on the screen.

no error messages, I would expect to see conenction failed, or a disconnect option once you connect.

Am I missing something.???

I dont think your missing a thing, ive tried it before and never got it working through any connection method. bag of pap as they say

I can conenct via 3g but not wifi

Seems to be a device limitation

I understand from T Mobile UK this is a problem that their UK partners cannot fix so they have passed it onto T Mobile in Germany who will raise it with their suppliers.

There is no promise of a fix or any idea of timescale

This works fine for me:

1.Set up VPN Connection in connection settings for th server you wish to use
2. - most important - in the advanced tab relating to above under Exceptions you need to enter the IP address of the computer you are trying to connect to
3. Go to Terminal services in Programs and enter the IP address of the cf the computer yo wish to connect to - and press Connect

Hopefully that may work for you

What am I missing? Where can you obtain the updated rom from? I cannot find it on the T-Mobile site.
