MDA III VPN problems

Hi there!
I have a t-mobile mda III for two months. It had the original latest rom released by t-mobile (TMUK 1.42 1.12 1.13.00). I tried to connect to my university's network with wlan, but i have to connect there by VPN too (Connections->My work network->VPN). It worked really good without any problem. But I downloaded the Helmi's wm5.0 rom and i upgraded it. My phone didn't work, so i downgraded back the official TMUK rom, but since that i can't connect to VPN. Everything else is okwith the pda, but i can't use the internet in the university (that connects to the network, but i can't use it without VPN). I think the upgrade and downgrade deleted or changed something in registry or something, i don't know, so please help me!!!!
Really thanks!

It won't be the registry, as the hard resets during the upgrade/downgrade should zap the registry.
VPN has a million things that can go wrong. Access to the server logs would likely point you in the correct direction. I actually gave up on the ipsec/l2tp implementation and switched to using OpenVPN. Far easier to set up, but probably not much use to you as you are limited to what the uni has.

Really thanks for OpenVPN, but i can't use this. I don't know how to use this exactly. In the uni is PPTP vpn, not IPSec, so could you give me some advice about programs to use it.

Personally, I use a Linux server and this page (and others on the site) has been invaluable:
http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/openswan-pocketpc.html
The built-in client on the PPC supports L2TP/IPsec and PPTP. OpenVPN is completely different and incompatible with either. This page contains info on all of the varieties of VPN:
http://www.natecarlson.com/linux/linux-vpn.php
As you are using PPTP, you should be able to follow guidelines for OpenSWAN, as I believe it supports PPTP. The first link I posted has info for the pocket pc.
These pages should help you out somewhat. I'd recommend setting it up on a desktop first as you will be able to see the client logs. Once you get it working, you may have figured out something specific to your university that you need to set.

WM6 wifi sucks?

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone experience bad wifi connections with WM6. I have highspeed at home and i connect it thur Wifi max..for my psp. thou, I have not been able to experience smooth internet surfing. It's slow and choppy, and I don't have any downloads or traffic going on? Does anyone experience this?
I also tried this tweaks and still no improvements.?
Does anyone out there have good experience with wifi on the wizard or it's just my setting? I want to figure that out? thank you for your time reading this post.
This is the original Reg Key on the Wizard "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\comm\TNETWLN1\Parms\"dot11Supp ortedRateMask" Dword (1). Leave this "as it is" and add the one that I added here and if its already in the reg then verify that its edited to the correct "Dword (4)" If the oder key is not there tahn it could be any othr problem but usualy I have this problem when I had both keys Dword 1 and "G" Dword 8 after I change that 8 to be a 4 my problem was resolved.
Please don"t change, edit or delete this one:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\comm\TNETWLN1\Parms\"dot11Supp ortedRateMask" Dword (1)"
For a stable Wifi on My 8125 I had to edit on the registry, I had to edit it as this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\comm\TNETWLN1\Parms\"dot11Suppo rtedRateMaskG" Dword (8) This one is not good on AKU3.3 or neither on WM6. But is not very stable with this Rom Faria's AKU 3.3 so you have to edit to:
This is the perfect reg key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\comm\TNETWLN1\Parms\"dot11Suppo rtedRateMaskG" Dword (4) After editing reset the device by turning off and on or by using the Shot down Key don't use stylus because could cause that the registry dosen't
gets saved.
hklm\comm\tnetwln1\parms\dot11supportedratemask
enable=8
disable=1

i got the orwells rom..and its perfect on wifi.. i geet an awesome signal..better thn wm5 ..and plus i can stream movies online !... like i was watching trailers and they were playing 150kkbps+..which is pretty awesome for a small device like that..streaming music at 100kbps +... id say just try out a clean rom and try out ...

Awesome!
Wow, your wifi must be really good to stream video online, what program are you using to stream video? I tried a few like handitv, but doesn't stream live.....and only work fast enough when I have my usb connected to my comp but not wifi?
Oh also I am using the clean WWE WM6 version. maybe it's my wifi max hmm, but I can play online with it on my psp thou I can't seem to get smooth wifi internet connection with my wizard ..even on my psp it's smooth internet.haha...
Well least I know wizard is capable of having smooth wifi on WM6, I'll keep reading post and researching then cause it's my setting problem then.
BTW what is your internet speed and what router you use? Also did you use any tweaks or modified the reg?

Try using a regular wifi router.

Would if I could.
I would have tried it on a wifi router if I had one, I didnt' choose to buy one cause I heard the connection isn't as fast as cable or ADSL. Only bought the wifi max for my psp.
But at least now I know WM6 wifi is capable of fast and smooth internet. Well at least one person replied he did.

WIFI works very well on my WM6, no speed problems, downloading like it should... using protected wifi network

does wifi max work on wm6.1?
I have an HTC Touch vx6900 upgraded to wm6.1 and I love it. My internet is lightning fast. Even while streaming live tv with orb and downloading torrents on my pc live tv is smooth, no buffering at all. I only like using wifi max for my psp when I am out of town so i can still play socom ftb2, at home I have a router. My problem is that I had wifi max running perfectly with my lame treo vx750. Now I can't seem to get it working with my HTC. I've tried reinstalling everything drivers and all. I'm at the point where my phone's internet is connected to my laptop with pdanet at 2.4mbps, and wifi max connected and set to an access point. Internet is still lighting fast on my laptop, but when i scan for a signal on my psp it will come up as wp_lan at 100% but the internet connection on my psp always fails. I've tried tinkering with the zydas settings and the PSP WIFI Max Media Manager settings but nothing seems to work. I must be forgetting something, does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone gotten a setup like this to work? Like i said i had it working with my treo. I really wouldn't think my phone would be the problem, because an internet connection on my laptop has already been established. Just not on my psp. I've been trying to figure this out for days, I need help from someone smart lol

Kaiser/Tilt won't connect to internet through PC

I have tried everything over the last two weeks:
disable/enable proxy
AllowLSP registry entry
firewall settings
home and work networks
wired and wireless connections
and I still cannot get the WM6 device to connect to the internet through my XP PC when it is connected via activesync.
Does someone have the silver bullet perfect solultion?

yes,
i installed Dutty's Rom and that fixed the dillema, before i was not able to fix it, didn't matter what i tried.

I've been unable to solve this as well on my stock Tilt. I'm not really thrilled about flashing a new rom (I'd no doubt brick the little bugger).
It would be nice to know what's blocking the connect, though.

If you're AT&T you need to run the disable proxy cab to connect to internet usin A/Sync.

....and three seconds later, that worked (I've been tinkering around all moring trying to solve that).
Thanks a ton Gsleon3!

Finally! It is hard to type as I jump up and down. The remove proxy cab worked!
So now the question, what doesn't work when the proxy is removed? Looks like at&t video and medianet pages don't work and weather on the HTC home screen.

On my Kaiser the remove proxy cab didn't work..What else can I do to use my xp's internet connection?

where to find the cab file?
Can anyone tell me where to find the disable proxy cab file? I've been searching on the forum but i can't seem to find it.
thx

dutty's threads have it.. a collection of cabs

i have the opposite problem - i want my tilt to NOT connect through the PC and to use MediaNET instead (because we block streaming media at work)
however i find that when the phone is usb connected to my PC i get no internet at all.
can anyone advise?

nevermind - searched and found solution to my problem

Pocket IE 403

Hello all,
I just upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1 on my ATT tilt. I ran Kaiser Tweak to enable the HSDPA, which is working great. I won't be charged by ATT for enabling HSDPA will I?
Anyways, my problem is that when I try to open Pocket IE and browse to a website I walways get a 403 error. I have tried running Disable Proxy.cab and Enable Proxy.cab but it is not working.
Any help is appreciated. Much thanks.

I can't answer your question sorry, but let me point you towards Opera 9.5 browser - much better than pocket IE, imho.

How are you "Connection Settings" set?
Use the HTC Auto Config CAB (install and soft reset)
After it ran go the the MediaNet connection and select:
- User server assigned IP address (under TCPIP and Servers)
- Proxy Settings check "The network connects to the internet" (first box) all others off.
You SHOULD get at least an Edge connection. I don't know how BUT without a SIM card with the "3G" logo I was never able to get a 3G connection but that's a different story.
Edit: Attached the HTC Connection Setup Auto CAB

I tried your method but I still haven't had luck.
I believe it is because I have an iPhone 3G data plan which doesn't have MEdia NET. Is there a work around for this? I only want Pocket IE because Opera Mini cannot download files.

but the guy was suggesting you to get Opera 9.5, not Opera Mini.
Once you start using Opera, you'll forget PIE soon

If you have not figured out the answer to this let me share my experience with this issue.
This is an annoying AT&T issue with your data. In 6.0 IE used to just show a blank screen when it happened, 6.1 now shows the 403 error. This happens for no known reason when the data decides to just crap out. It's very frustrating and happens a few times a week it seems.
If you have soft-reset your phone recently (turned all the way off) you've probably noticed that it's working again. Soft-resets fix this issue, but can be a hassle if you're in the middle of something. Fortunately there is a quicker way that was posted on a similar thread about the same issue.
When you get the 403 error, go into your Com Manager (where you can turn off wifi/data/phone etc...) Turn on Airplane mode, when completed, turn off Airplane mode. This will reset your data enough to fix the 403 error without soft-resetting.
Give this a try next time and see solves the problem.
Edit: Just noticed your post about having the iPhone data. Not sure if this is the issue or not, but if so my solution may not do anything for you.

But for some reason, Opera is too cumbersome when trying to view information. You have to continue to ZOOM it so you can see. Then, also, it will not allow you to view certain data on web pages. I use Skyfire to view websites. I HATE the zooming feature on it as sell, but at least I know it'll pull up all information. Maybe it's Active X or something.

Advice for what ROM would work best

i have an old HTC 8125 (G4 from what i understand based on the threads here) that i'm looking to use as an XBMC remote and nothing else. No phone or anything of that like is needed or enabled. The remote app needs a WiFi connection to work, which normally shouldnt be an issue. However, the default WM5 doesnt support WPA2 + AES. After googling this issue i read that it is possible to get this support via WM6.
Am i way off base here or am i on the right track? Also if i am on the right track what would be the ideal ROM to use for something like this?
I'm sure obvious answers would be to change the WPA2/AES on the router but that snowballs into other issues for me, so trying this route first may actually be faster.
Thanks in advance

Ham3r's H3r5 is a WM 6.1 with good apps but no fancy home screen. It works with WPA2 and AES: that's what I use at home. You can add a home screen but it sounds like you want something simple.
