I got rid of my ISP , and now I am using T-Mobile Total Internet (with Internet Sharing) to tether it to my Laptop/Desktop. So far so good, right?
Wrong! I do not complain about the speeds that I am getting; I only complain about the fact that I cannot connect to my office VPN.
It seems that we need a 'real' IP address rather than the local NAT address that our PC is assigned with Internet Sharing. I found out that we could get a real IP address (i.e. if T-mobile actually provides it) by using our Kaiser as an actual USB modem. This was previously possible in WM6 by using a utility called WModem, which does not seem to work with WM6.1.
So, I would be very grateful if anyone has an answer to these,
1. Is it possible to use Kaiser as a USB Modem in WM6.1?
2. Is it possible to make WModem or a similar utility run on WM6.1?
3. Is it possible to obtain a real IP address with Internet sharing?
4. Is it possible to connect to VPN by any other means?
Comments on this issue are appreciated. Btw, I am using L26 V12 ROM, and I love it. I am not ready to part with it to downgrade to WM6, to make all of this work.

i've got same issue & looking a solution for months, but not anwers yet. if it may help Here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401110 is only one wm6.1 rom who has wmodem on it.
Have you tried connecting your total internet to internet3.voicestream.com?
it is supposed to work for VPN
I have problems connect with my VPN server,neither PPTP nor L2TP/Ipsec, PPTP is blocked by China Unicom, but why can't L2TP? I've heard that the WM client will only successfully connect to a Microsoft PPTP server, is that true?
If so, are there any 3rd-party clients on WM? Those support L2TP will be better, thx
i am running the latest Enomther ROM 2.10.2, and i am unable to connect to my VPN. I was never able to connect to VPN on any ROM, even on 2.1 ROMs...
can someone help me set my connection up so i can actually use the VPN feature on the N1?
thanks
I've searched many treads and also put up a few posting in the past.
I know Anyconnect is not available for the Xoom/Andriod OS at this time, but has anyone found an "easy" way to connect to a Cisco VPN system.
I was able to install certs as needed and tried a few workarounds, but no luck.
This is the a must have for me and I know a lot of others.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I was able to get my Cisco VPN to connect by rooting and using VPN Connections.

Thanks for the response...
Couple of questions
You mentioned rooted? Did you change kernel also?
3g or Wifi model? (I have Wifi)
When you say VPN connections, do you mean a app or the stock connect in the system?
Did you tranfer your certificates to the Xoom?
Sorry for all the questions. I've had a Gtab since November and just picked up a Xoom after holding out for a month.
Glad I made the purchase.....

I should mention the Cisco VPN I'm connecting to only uses grou passwords
I'm using the 3G model, and it is rooted with the tun.ko module available from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972550&highlight=tun.ko.
VPN Connections is a root app available from http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/

The problem is, that the VPN Connection with anyconnect is totally unstable and with all the other Cisco VPN-concentrators its the same problem. That is the result of how android is programmed. i Tried to get a stable cisco-vpn connection on a nexus one, nexus s and optimus speed. All failed. You had to copy a tun.ko file, specific for the phone. then you where able to connect to a normal cisco vpn concentrator (not anyconnect concentrator). but that worked only once. every time after that, the vpn connection was so unstable i could only get it up for some secounds. thats why i bought an iPhone as smartphone and use the xoom as tethering.
what i want to try the next few days is, connect with the free iOS Any-Connect / VPN protocoll on the iPhone and then tether my xoom to use the same connection there. dunno if it will work

So far, that is the only way I can get a "connection." However, there does not appear to be any traffic going across the connection and VPN Connections hangs when I try to disconnect. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I've also had no luck connecting to my work VPN. We use Cisco Anyconnect and SecurID. The Cisco rep has been saying a client is in the works but nothing so far. This is the only think keeping the Xoom from really being a laptop replacement for me. Sucks.
Agreed!

I can't connect either but my setup is a little different. I log into Cisco SSL VPN Service through the website, which requires UN/PW/Group. When connecting for the 1st time on a device, it downloads and installs the VPN client. Through this method it performs:1)Platform Detection; 2)ActiveX; 3)Java Detection; 4)Sun Java; 5)Download & 6)Connected. But when signing in using my Xoom it hangs at step 5(Download). It displays a link, Linux i386, but it does nothing when clicking on it. Does anyone have this file or know a way around this?
The problem is google wont allow cisco into the kernal. The app is done at Cisco, but google is holding up the show. Cisco also has a new light weight vpn client that is more of an on demand app that will work with Jabber. (which works on xoom, i have it loaded)
What is the name of the light weight app that works on the Xoom?

if you flash the tiamat kernal and install the tun.ko you should be able to use the updated VPNC to connect just fine. i use my SecurID with this same setup and tunnel in daily for work. it sure does beat carrying a laptop around.
Also, Office chat is a office communicator app if your work uses it. basically i never have to carry a laptop around. I also use evernote. Onenote is great but evernote stores in the cloud and syncs to my phone, laptop, and xoom instantly will no setup necessary. Try it out.
Thanks for the tip Holsum. My Xoom isn't rooted yet but I'll investigate for my NexusOne which is already rooted and I'm very familiar with hacking on it. I'll give your suggestion a try and see if it helps.
When I run the vpn widget and test prerequisites it says that it doesn't have root. I am rooted running the newest tiamat kernel and the superuser app popped up and allows me to grant the app root... any idea why it thinks it doesn't have root?
I tried the JB root method with linux, but I can't get the server to actually broadcast onto the wifi network. My phone gives me a network error. How can I get my PC to broadcast the samba server? Lots of people seem to have no problems hosting servers on their computers for device-to-device over the same wifi network, but my computer simply won't do it. Is there some special way to enable this that everyone but me knows about?
