Hi,
I can access the internet fine on Wifi but I cant use Terminal Services Client.
I can use Terminal Services Client when connected with Activ Sync.

What am I doing wrong?

It's a home network with a Netgear me102 wireless access point.

I have a Tmobile MDA Vario.

Thanks

How did you manage to make it work. I am trying to use Terminal services to access my home pc via my MDA. I am not sure what settings to use,
Under my work network I created a new connection,
Name: Laptop
Host name/ IP: specified my IP (Tried with computer name before)
VPN type: What do i select here L2TP or PPTP
When I click next I am asked to enter username and password (I guess this is the username for my laptop). I have not touched the default settings under the advanced section.
Use server-assigned IP address was selected by default.

When i try to connect after i while i get the message, unable to connect check username and password.

Please advise what I am doing wrong. Thanks for your help in advance.

You don't need all that VPN crap. In fact delete the connection.
Here is what you have to do:
1) When you connect to your WiFi make sure that what you select under 'This network connects to' matches what you have in settings->connections->connections->advanced->network selection->programs that connect to the network (bottom list)
'internet' = 'My ISP'
'work' = 'My work network'

2) Start the client and enter your PC IP. You should now get a windows logon screen where you can enter your user and password.

can you connect to remote desktop from another workstation on that network? If not then it could be a firewall and you wouldn't be able to connect with your PPC anyways...
just a thought.
