Any get VPN working with DCD 3.2.5?

[scrosler]

Has anyone got VPN connectivity working with DCD 3.2.5? I have been trying for hours with no luck. Every time I try to connect I just get the generic unable to connect message (VPN Server problems. Verify your username and password..... I do know its not a user name / password issue. I set the VPN up and administer it. Its a ClarkConnect Community Edition Firewall Router 4.3.

I can however use the phone with Internet Sharing and connect to the same VPN end point with my laptop. I know the VPN is working.

Any one have any experience with this?

I'll be honest. I haven't really tried yet, but I am interested in getting this working myself, as I need to set it up; in addition to somehow getting this damn thing to connect to my school's network - which it has refused to for many weeks now.

Did you try using the kitchen and enabling the Enterprise IPSEC checkbox? It's the first item on the list. I assumed this was for those who needed VPN connections, so have not used it myself personally.

yep you need that for IPSEC vpn, but PPTP vpn would work without it.

Yes. Im going to flash back to a stock ROM later today and test.

I'll post the results.

Here is what I did:

Configured the VPN connection.

Create a nework exception for a valid DNS name or use wildcards:
*.myvpnconnection.com

Anything you go to in that domain will use the VPN. IE seems to be the only thing that will initiate the connection.

It sounds like you might have something wrong on the server side.

I just setup mine to use the vpn into my office and it worked slick as "stuff"... but we use a MS VPN server with AD...

I'm able to use VPN on 3.2.5 (stock, not cooked in kitchen) It works, but often time I have to soft reset before it will let me connect. Windows even suggests it... I haven't figured out a way around this when it happens, other then to soft reset.

Also I'm having a problem where VPN locks up the phone if I leave it connected, and the phone goes into lower power mode. It won't wake up with power. I have to soft reset.

Lastly, I'm trying to figure out the fastest way to actually launch the connection. It seems horribly buried / inefficent, the way I'm doing it:

I'm going to Start -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections Icon -> Under the VPN Connection hitting "Manage Existing Connections -> VPN Tab -> Selecting the VPN Connection and "right clicking (hold until context menu pops up) and hitting "Connect".

Anyone know of a faster way?

Thanks in advance!!

PPTP and L2TP work fine here. I do have an issue where if I leave the connection live and the device goes to sleep it doesn't wake up and requires a soft reset. It's been like that for a number of revisions. Other than that it works fine.
