Posted this in the networking section as well...

I very quicly noticed BT DUN was removed with WM6 and was replaced by ICS. Now when I try to use my cisco VPN client on my laptop to connect to our corporate network (and others as well) I can connect and send packets, but none are ever received. I looked around and found a cab here at xda that adds BT DUN back and installed it. Now the DUN service is found and I set it up as before, but when I get to "DIALING" it never connects and just gives me an error: Error 678: The remote computer did not respond.

Anybody got either BT DUN working again, or found a way to connect to the web from your laptop via ICS and then use cisco vpn client to connect to a remote network?

Ok, here is where I am after spending a day researching...

3 different APN's are listed in ICS. AT&T, ICS, and Proxy. AT&T is associated with wap.cingular and ICS is associated with isp.cingular. One is NATed, the other is not (isp is not). Supposedly using isp.cingular should allow VPN clients to work correctly. This is not the case for me. I've tried also forcing AT&T proxy and not forcing AT&T proxy.

Alternatively, I've tried to use the cab floating around here to add DUN back onto my Treo 750. It works in that I see DUN as a service offered by the phone and I can connect to the phone. I also added modem link back in so I could try USB tethering. This works as well, my laptop sees my phone as a modem. In either case when I dial I just receive the Error 678 listed previously. It looks as though my laptop is controlling the phone like it should, but it looks as though I cannot control the radio? AT&T probably did a radio update at the same time as WM6? Thus the old protocols don't work anymore?

Thoughts, ideas? Help!?

I am running across the same situation. I can get to the inter via ICS or AT&T. However when I connect the Cisco VPN I can not remote desktop connection.

Palm Treo 750
Software Version: TREO750-2.25-ATT
Hardware Version: A
Firmware Version: 1.54.27.00

Not sure if other data is needed.

Hey,

I am experiencing a similair problem. I am trying to connect to my corp network but whenever it gets to the authorisation stage it fails.

I am using the ATT network client,...Does anyone have any ideas?
