VPN connection from WM6 to XP Prof.

[joschi76]

Hi everybody,

after googling through a lot of forums for some weeks now, I learnd a lot about VPN with WM6, setting up a VPN Server and all of this stuff.
But nowhere was a solution for my special problem...

I have an XP-Prof Server in my network, wich is set up as a VPN Server . It is behind my AVM Fritzbox 7270 where all the port-forwardings vor PPTP (GRE and port 1723) are done.
When I connect from the "outer world" using an XP or Vista machine, everything works fine.

But: When I connect from my Handheld (Samsung B7610 Omnia Pro), the connection is dropped after round about a minute.
Within this minute, I can start a Remote-Desktop-Session etc and everything seems to be alright until the connection gets lost.

There is no other connection been started (except my normal internet connection through "web.vodafone.de") , and Active Sync is set to "manual", so it can't disturb my VPN session.

Is there anyone with an idea what I can do to get my VPN working???

Thanks in advance,
Joschi

is your main goal to do VPN
or to do Remote-Desktop ?

if the later I would suggest vnc rather then ms's options vnc is free and generally works better imho

Hi Rudegar,
and thanks for your reply.

First of all, I want to get access to my Files, located on my server.
Remote-Desktop would be nice but is not a must have...

But thanks for the tip. I'll try VNC. However, I fear that the lost connection
hasn't anything to do with RDP. Even when i just connect without using any tool the connection gets lost within one minute.

Do you have any idea?
In some other threads I read about stopping ActiveSync and adding IP-Exceptions. But none of all solved my problem.
