Dear all,

I have set up my WM6 with an e-mail account which accesses a server at
my work. I need a VPN to get this working. I have set-up the
connections as follows:

Under Connections-My ISP I have set a modem connection with my phone
provider
Under My-Work Network I have set a connection to my vpn server at
work.
Under Advanced-Select Networks I have selected My ISP for programs
that automatically connect to the Internet and programs that connect
to a private network should connect to My-Work Network.
Under the email account settings I have selected under advanced server
settings that the Work network connection should be used.

If I connect my device (X800 glofiis) via wifi at home, I can
properly use my e-mail account, so all VPN settings must be correct.
If I drop the wifi and work via the phone service and then access the
same e-mail account, it will even set-up the VPN correctly but then
get back to me with "messages cannot be downloaded...etc", which
explains very little to me.

I have tried many different configurations, but without success. Any
hints ?

Thanks
Martien

Some carriers maintain different levels of data access. For AT&T, a
"PDA" account is more expensive than an "unlimited data" account. The
latter is not guaranteed to support VPN

I've run into issues where either the GRPS account wasn't allowed vpn access
or the subnet of the vpn and the carrier overlap. You can use a program
like VxUtil from www.cam.com to verify your address settings.

Dear Eric and Scot,

Many thanks for the replies. I am trying to dig out if VPN is really
not possible with my carrier. I have read some confusing messages at
their site.

The curiosity is of course, that I can set up the VPN line to my work
via the phone, only when I want to get my messages (or look at some
file shares) I am not able to get any proper results.

I have tried the VxUtil suggested by Eric and it gives indeed quite
some useful info. Thanks for the hint.

My work network uses 10.0.0.x as IP numbers and I can see that my PDA
gets the IP number 10.0.0.41, so this is good. Next I can also ping to
the VPN server at 10.0.0.1 (I sometimes get some time outs but it
generally works). Also the DNS lookup seems to work as I can ping to
the VPN server name as well as a separate file server name. So far so
good.
When I look at the cellular line, I see that its IP address is
10.79.100.75 (and I have a cellular line 2 with IP address
10.66.172.69, I don't know why there are two of them but OK). Since
these adresses seem also to be within the 10.0.0.0 range, could this
be the overlap Eric is mentioning ? If so, is there any remedy other
than placing the network at work at a different IP range ?

Thanks,

Martien
