Default VPN and Terminal Services Client with XDA IIs

I used to use the XDA to VPN into a Windows Server, then control it (for problems) with Terminal Services Client. No problem, worked fine.

With my new XDA IIs (original ROM) I can't figure this out at all - and the instruction manual provides little info.

Any ideas?

What I've been doing so far is:

To set up the VPN conn:
[start, settings, connections, connections]
edit my vpn servers
new - (e.g. vpn1 212.123.123.123) - enter logon info

To connect on the VPN (maybe where the problem lies)
I click on the sig strength icon and choose Mobile Web
Then click again on the icon again, and choose 'vpn1' (weirdly this option seems to come and go)
Also, there seems to be no way to see if you have actually succeeded in connecting to that IP address
Now when I look at the sig strength icon... it says 'O2 Active connected'.

Needless to say, if I use TSC at this point, no luck.

Any ideas? It does not seem a very intuitive process.

Thanks

Hello,

Just moved over from a XDA2 to an XDA2s myself and been having the same probs. Check you work connections and make sure that you remove the O2 active setting from the modem tab. This appears to be the prob.

Now when you hit the signal strength icon, you should click on VPN1 only and it should go out through Mobile web and then initiate VPN when it connects.

However, mine is still having an issue with the password!!! Something very strange is happening and I can't work out what it is.

I'm still playing around with it, and will post when I work it out.

Sorry to be dumb, but >>remove the O2 active setting from the modem tab. << - how to do that??

This system must be the most counter-intuitive process I've encountered!

Default VPN and Terminal Services Client with XDA IIs

I used TSC through VPN to connect to my work server with my XDA11. Set up GPRS connection, set up VPN with my user name and password, enter the right server name in TSC and hey presto. Simply go to programmes, TSC click and the device connects to GPRS and then automatically to the VPN via GPRS and on to the server.
Now have a Qtek 9090 (XDA2s equivelant) on WM2003 second edition and whilst it will connect at first to my server, it won't connect a second time. After a hard re-set it connects once but never again. I have tried other devices and they do exactly the same. Anyone know what's going on ?
XDA II, Qtek 9090, SPV M5000, HTC Touch, HTC Touch Cruise, XDA Ignito (Diamond), HTC Desire
Redux ROM 1.1.2, Rooted, S-Off

Not as computer literate as I'd like to be !!

Ja sam pojavom mail-a na mobu totalno izgubio potrebu za mms-om. Ne razumem ni zasto bi to neko koristio i u kojim situacijama.
BTW, TiramiSlim otkida, sve sljaka kao satic
