Hello everyone. Was wondering if anyone could help. I have partly set up my xdaIIs and active sync 3.8 to be able to sync via my home wireless LAN using a spirit wireless router (for 802.11b devices).
Only prob is that i dont now what the DNS and Alt DNS addresses are. How do i find these addresses. I have a Spirit wireless router for 802.11b devices.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated
Unless you are trying to make your life difficult it sounds like you are not connecting.
Normally you would enable DHCP, | Start (menu) | Settings | Connections (tab) | Network Cards (icon) | Network Adapters (tab) | tiacwln Compatible Wireless Etherne... | Check "Use server-assigned IP address" | Name Servers | should all be blank Tap | OK | OK | OK | X |
Soft reset your device. Go to www.cam.com and get vxUtil, you can use this to find the IP address being assign to your device, along with the DNS servers IP address. The DNS server address will be different for each ISP. Also the IP gateway address can change depending on how your network is set up.
In most cases if you are not getting an DNS IP address you are either not connecting to your access point, (look at your password, it must be in hex and other security you have enabled) or your access point may need to be updated.

hi,
can anyone post a tutorial on how to connect to active sync via wifi?
i have a XDA IIs
Here's what I did to connect to my company's network. Please note that you hav to get IP address and DNS for your administrator. I hope this helps. Cheers
Note that you need to use ActiveSync 3.x for this; MS have removed WiFi sync from ActiveSync version 4.
One last thing... as 3waygeek said, in Activesync you have to check this option
Great posts...was wondering how to do this. Only problem is, i have a wireless broadband router at home and dont now what the DNS and Alt DNS is. How do i find these addresses. I have a Spirit wireless router for 802.11b devices.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thankyou
I am sorry, but for most people this is wrong, and a waste of time. IMHO.
First things first for a home user.
You'll need to dock your device and establish a partnership, by your normal way. You can not establish a partnership by Wi-Fi.
Next for most home users you'll need to go into your PC's network card properties and enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. Then reboot your PC, and give it about five minutes to get to your router (DHCP Server).
Settings on your PocketPC,
You'll need to go to | Start (menu) | Settings | Connections (tab) | Connections (icon) | Advanced (tab) | then tap on | New... | under "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:"
Under "Enter a name for these settings:" Type My Home Network
Then tap | Proxy Settings (tab) | check only "This network connects to the Internet" leave everything else blank. Tap OK, Set "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" to "My Home Network" Both locations will now show My Home Network, tap OK | OK | X | Very important do not go back and look at your settings or they will not stay! Until you reach the today screen. Soft reset to load these settings.
Next go to www.cam.com and download vxUtil, install this on your PocketPC. You must be able to ping your PC, by name to be able to sync! vxUtil allows you to test your ability to ping. And NetBIOS enables your PocketPC to find the IP address of your PC.
I am trying to run one of the many FTP servers available for Windows Mobile (vxFTPSrv or ShareIT FTP) to keep some files in sync but I can't seem to figure out what public IP address my phone has. vxFTPSrv says it is listening to a non-routable 10.**** while whatismy ip says it starts with a 200.**** while DynDNS for Windows Mobile says it is 32.****. Nevertheless, none of these work nor can I get these programs to listen to the ports. Any ideas? Does the Tilt even get a public IP address from AT&T? Thanks.
Try this
I'm no pro, but had to tell the Physical address to the the tech guy at my university so he could enable my phone o use the wireless network...
... anyways, download and install a Registry Editor (I use Task Manager v2.8) you should be able to access an Ipconfig tab, where all the information is available.
I don't know if I'm in the right track.... Hope this helps? =)

your pda have an ip address
using wifi router the uplink sees the routers ip
using an isp the internet sees the isp's assigned ip

Another good one I use is Iper Suite.

For casual use the first one is probably satisfactory.
IPer is worth buying for the increased functionality and has a TFTP client.

200.* would be a public IP. As would 32.*
Turn off your proxy setting in the phone and do the www.whatismyip.com thing. That will get you a more meaningfull result than anything else.
When I'm on GPRS/Edge (AT&T proxy settings in force) network I get a 66.102.186.15 IP address as reported by whatismyip.com. That resolves to alpmagr1fe06-dmz.mycingular.net. Which should be a att proxy server even tho it implies by its name its on a DMZ.
When I turn off the proxy for GPRS/Edge I get 166.195.188.15 according to whatismyip.com. That IP address will not respond to ICMP commands. So I assume it is firewalled. So it seems to me that yes you CAN and DO get a public IP address, its just that address is heavily firewalled.
You've piqued my interest, tho I cannot do anymore testing at this moment.
Dear all
I was wondering if anybody got OpenVPN to run on the D. I am trying to connect to a server at home via GPRS/3G using a tap device (bridging). I was trying version 2.1.0 of the OpenVPN port from ziggurat29. The Installation of the GUI and the openvpn client work fine. The GUI (ovpncmgr) starts up OK and also seems to start a tap device TAP1. When I try to start a VPN client with a config file that I tested on the desktop before (except for different path settings and settings for the managment interface), it takes some time (get the typical GSM noise in my PC's speaker... so there is traffic over the air) and then a new VPN tab is displayed on the GUI. However the connection does not show up in the list of VPN instances. In the VPN tab I cannot get the status of the connection etc. Also, I cannot get any logging to work (no log file is created). On the server side I am not getting anything at all. No packets reach the server.
I am running out of ideas what could be wrong. Could it be the connection via T-Mobile? I am able to ping the server from the D, so I thought this should not be a problem. I also tried different ports (1194 and 443). Same result.
If anybody has a clue what I need to do, I appreciated any help.
Here is my client config file:
client
proto tcp-client
port 443
remote my.openvpnserv.net 443
ns-cert-type server
dev tap
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca "\\Programme\\OpenVPN\\config\\ca.crt"
cert "\\Programme\\OpenVPN\\config\\client4.crt"
key "\\Programme\\OpenVPN\\config\\client4.key"
log "\\Programme\\OpenVPN\\log\\client4.log"
service openvpn_exit_1
management 127.0.0.1 10000
conmgr "MyTMO" 1
comp-lzo
verb 4

After all the tap interface seems still be available and no IP is configured for it. What is really annoying is that I am not even getting a log file

I'm having exactly the same problem..OpenVPN starts, but it doesn't show any instance...
Hi there.
Do you use OpenVPN client with TF3D active??? I installed it and then I tried to run connection manager. But nothing happend. The manager seems not running. Maybe it's because of the TF3D. Any idea??? Thanks....
Hi,
After many days (and night) trying to make this thing work, I finally managed to make it work.
This is how I setup my server and client:
DSL Box =======> Linksys WRT54G =======> Home PC as server (XP)
Public IP ethernet 192.168.1.1 ethernet 192.168.1.10

cert "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\server.crt"
key "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\server.key"
dh "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\dh1024.pem"
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
server-bridge 192.168.1.199 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.210 192.168.1.220

remote xxxxxxx.homeip.net 443
nobind

# This is French SFR proxy
http-proxy 195.115.25.129 8080
http-proxy-option AGENT "Vodafone/1.0/HTC_Diamond/1.37.163.4"
On the server I created a bridge between the ethernet connection (192.168.1.10) and the TAP device that I renamed 'OpenVPN'.
I then manually modified its TCP/IP address with the following:
IP address : 192.168.1.199
Netmask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (the Linksys router)
Primary DNS Server : 192.168.1.1
Secondary DNS : your provider DNS will do.
On the client (Diamond):
After installing the software, certificates and keys I modified the TAP device giving it manually its IP address:
Start>>Parameters>>Connections>>WiFi>>Network Cards
IP Address : 192.168.1.210
Netmask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.1.1
If you have a router you need to forward port 443 to the bridge address (192.168.1.199).
Thats all folks. Hope it works for you too.

Ah... just go to 'Today' in Settings and disable the TF3D... click on the task bar!
Hi all,
I'm having an issue when trying to synchronize two diamonds and a cruise (all of them running wm6.1 FRE) with an Exchange Server 2003 SP2. Each time I try to synchronise through GPRS/3G , i'm getting an error (n° 0x80072EE2, wich means server not available).
Below is my initial situation :
Synchronization is ok using USB on all device. ActiveSync 4.5 is configured to use server "mail.mydomain.com", refering to a different IP address depending on whether synchronization is initiated from outside or inside local network. From outside, a redirection from gandi.net transfers mail.mydomain.com to https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/exchange, "xxx.xxx..." being my exchange server's public IP.
After spending days looking for a workaround, here's what I've tried :
- Disabling WM DNS cache (tried with both DnsCacheEnable and DnsCacheEnabled registry entries) and soft reseting the device, as suggested here : http://forum.soft32.com/pda/Wireless-Attempt-results-Error-0x80072EE2-ftopict76576.html ;
- Unchecking the "use proxy" box in my connection's advanced properties ;
- Placing the OWA redirection (https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/exchange) on a new subdomain : webmail.mydomain.com, in order to have mail.mydomain.com pointing the same public IP address inside and outside the network.
Now I have :
mail.mydomain.com --> public_ip
webmail.mydomain.com --> https://public_ip/exchange
So, theorically, putting my public IP address or mail.mydomain.com inside ActiveSync server's configuration should be exactly the same (except for certificates). Here is my problem : When using directly my IP address, I can see the request going through the firewall, to port 443 of my exchange server (but getting a certificate error, since i'm supposed to be connecting using mail.mydomain.com). When using mail.mydomain.com, I still get the 0x80072EE2 error, and nothing goes through my firewall..........
Looks like there is no DNS lookup during wireless synchronization when using a domain name in activesync configuration...
Thanks for reading, any help would be great.

PI2 VPN. PI2 Kodi
I am confused of how to safely use a VPN. If I connect only from my Kodi Raspberry PI2 to my second raspberry PI2 that is running as a VPN server, is that enough to hide/encrypt say, an IPTV stream, if using 2048 encryption? Or do I need to connect through my router as a client, to my PI2 VPN first, to completely encrypt traffic and hide my IP?
I'm pretty new to setting up a VPN, so go easy on me. If the above scenario isn't correct what is the best way to setup an in home VPN server? I'd rather avoid paying for a third party VPN service if possible.

Hi there,
I am a little confused as to what you are trying to achieve with that diagram?
Normally, when you utilize a VPN, you try to connect to an arbitrary point on the internet. So you should have your Pi 2 -> ISP -> Virtual Private Server.
Your diagram where you have ISP -> Router --VPN, Encrypted--> Pi 2. Is not effective to hide your content from your ISP, due to the fact that your router and Pi 2 are encrypted.
Reply and get me more information what you are trying to achieve. Here is why I do. VPS --> Pi-VPN. Then I use connect to it when needed.
Yes
In home VPN server is good if you would like to get inside your home network from the internet.
You need outside server to encrypt data going outside your home.
Connection between VPN client and server is encrypted, connection between server and the internet ... Now that is a question for VPN provider but I guess the answer is 'not really'.
If you connect from one PI to the other running server you will have encrypted traffic in LAN but server PI will drop encryption in order for your router to understand where to pass traffic.
