Blackberry - VPN through 3G Network - possible ? - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
i know this isnt a Blackberry Forum, but maybe anyone can help.
Anyway I'm in the act to configure a Blackberry Bold 9000 for our Company. I am testing the device in the first step without the BIS or BES funktions. I try to configure the VPN for a Cisco Concentrator 3000 using the GPRS / UMTS Connections to connect to Outlook WebAccess or Outlook mobile Access only with the browser.
My Steps:
- Configure at the TCP Settings our Provider APN with Username and Passwort.
- Creating a VPN Profil for the CISCO Concentrator with our Settings IKE / IPSEC / Groupname and Passwort / VPN User etc.
- Then i saved it and try to connect but nothing happend. Realy nothing!
- Then i setting up a Wifi Network for a test and connect, it works.
No my questions:
Is it generell possible to connect over GPRS / EDGE or UMTS to a VPN to use Outlook WebAccess or Outlook mobile Access with the browser.
When its possible, How can I configure, that the Internet Connection and the vpn use my special APN ?
I hope anyone can help me.
Thank a lot.

Internet Sharing+VPN WM6 problem

I cant figure it out, I just installed the latest v. WM6 Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297256)
Internet Sharing via Bluetooth works but... when i start my vpn either via ssl or ipsec (on laptop) NOGO. something is in between dont know what...so workaround:
Internet sharing via USB: the device tells me "connected", the new Network connection in control panel/xp tells me "connected" but there is no Internet connection. I try to ping 192.168.0.1 which it made gateway and this is not found. nothing nada. firewall off. nogo. repair. nogo.
*argh* I realize it are 2 different problem but in short: I can not connect as I usually did under the wm5 dialer (and I miss the status lights).
Anyone has a clue?
Hi !
I have the same problem with the same ROM. I didn't found any solution yet.
I didn't try Internet connection shring with Bluetooth. But your problem sounds as a proxy setting problem on your PDA connexion. You should take a look at those settings...
Let us know if you find anything.
edit :
Finally it's working, I re-installed ActiveSync 4.5 and now it's OK.
I reinstalled activesync, modded down to wm5, then again wm6 ...
and magic usb is working but...
My VPN connection on both BlueTooth or Usb is not working. I use the AT&T client to connect to our network but authentication fails with all vpn servers in the list.
That's a shame because this is really the only basic functionality i need to check my e-mail and stuff "on the road". Hmmm... down to WM5!
Unless someone has got VPN working?

sorry. stupid. forgot the checkmark on the authentication tab on the auto-created controlpanel > networkconnections > Windows Mobile 6 Connection > Authentication.
Great!
For reference, using the Cisco VPN client, with Bluetooth and internet sharing, does not work. With WM6, a Bluetooth PAN adapter is created on the PC, and the Cisco VPN doesn't bind to this type of adapter.
Using the same config, but with the USB cable, and the wireless modem, does work.
Unfortunately It does NOT work anymore.
Whatever I try I can not get connection to the Internet
- I start "connect"
- Plugin the usb cable
- The new network connections icon appears under network connections
- It pops up it is connected
- It has an assigned 192.168.0.2
But no internet connection, ping 192.168.0.1 can not be reached, etc...
I turned off the firewall to see if this was the problem. not.
Is there ayone who has got a clue? This is really frustrating.
For what it's worth, I'm using WM6 Black 2.5 on a Hermes (Cing 8525) and I'm able to use WM6 Internet Sharing via BT to connect my laptop to the internet and I am able to use my Cisco VPN client on my laptop to connect to my company's intranet. No problems here so I don't think it's a WM6 problem.... rather a configuration problem... either on your company's VPN concentrator side or your client side.You may want to chat with your IT/Ops dept for configuration settings.
No problems here nither. I use Vista on PC. I need to connect to several networks and just have made some tests. I could reach all of them. The fact is that most of them are built on Draytek routers not Cisco, but they also use IPSec and so on.
Yep I'm having the same problem, my VPN's worked fine with WM5, but went to Black 2.5 and now when I VPN, it connects, assignes me an IP, but wont let me ping the network.
I _think_ it's becuase now the fone shows up as a network rather than a modem, and assigns me a 192.168.0.x address, and the home network is in this too... any suggestions?
share internet connection with ppc
Can i use my ppc as the wireless adapter? do i need to use "wireless modem" or "activesync" to do this? For more detail, if my computer do not have wireless adapter, and now i want to use the wireless adapter on my ppc to connect to the internet. Is it posible?

WM6 VPN dialer - How-to

Hi,
I have T-mobile Dash - HTC-Excalibur - Windows Mobile 6 (WM6)
I have configured the VPN profile with appropriate info of my VPN server global IP address, in 'Settings' --> 'Connection' --. 'VPN' --> 'New'
However, I don't know how to launch or execute this profile.
I called T-Mobile, they don't support it (VPN), HTC does not support as well, www.microsoft.com no any info for windows mobile 6 vpn. Don't know where to go.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
WM6 VPN
When you try to get something from the work connection it will automatically try to connect via the vpn. BTW it doesn't support encryption. You have to turn off encryption at the remote end for it to work, otherwise it connects and immediately disconnects.
Hope this helps...

can someone explain the ICM to me please?

Hi there!
Maybe I'm just too stupid, but I've benn trying for weeks now to setup the network parameters for my University's Campus network and failed miserably, so could someone please explain to me how this darn "Internet Connection Manager" works?
What I need in brief:
How can I setup a proxy to use with and only with
- HTTP(S) and FTP(S)
for a WiFi-Network that
- is NOT encrypted
- does NOT require dialing a number / accessing a modem
- does NOT use a VPN
??
Whenever I try this it always results in the connection dying completely.
In other words: When I select my standard UMTS-uplink as "default connection for programs connecting automatically" and then manually establish a WiFi-connection I can reach all computers available on the campus network get ping responses and everything, but I cannot use a proxy, hence not load off-campus pages.
When I define a new connection and enter my settings (just WiFi-name and the proxy details) I can still establish a WiFi-connection, but get a ping timeout even on the access point and the intranet servers usually available through the WiFi. No SSH login, no intranet, nothing (but I do get an IP assigned & stuff)
Here's what I would like to do in theory:
=> Manually connect to a WiFi-Network called "tuwlan".
. -open network
. -no encryption
. -IP, netmask, gateway, nameserver etc provided automatically by DHCP
=> Establish a SSH2 (SecureShell) connection to our on-campus proxy server and tunnel some ports to get through the Subnets (extremely restrictive) firewall.
. -SSH including port forwarding done with PockeTTY, works like a charm
=> Use Opera Mobile to surf web pages and FTP Sites through the proxy "localhost:40081" (which is forwarded to our campus proxy server through SSH2).
=> The Proxy only knows HTTP(S) and FTP(S), so all other programs (ICQ, Skype etc) are not to use it!
This setup used to work great with older Opera versions, but they removed the proxy setting dialog in favor of directly using the ICM settings.
So now I'm stuck with Microsofts Internet Connection Manager
Can anyone please help me to get this working?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
there is 2 type of VPN that can be added
pptp
l2tp/ipsec
pptp is working fine, but when is disconnected / not by me / it is not reconnect automaticly.
l2tp/ipsec not working, ipsec session is up, l2tp is up, but lcp session on ppp fail.
acording to this article wm 6 does not support l2tp/ipsec:
h-ttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa918540.aspx
this two types of vpn pptp and l2tp/ipsec does not apply to "Mobile VPN"
technology (h-ttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc440255.aspx).
there is a program called "ipsecvpnapp.exe" that represent "IPsec VPN User Interface " acording to this article:h-ttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc440248.aspx,
but nothing is happening when this program get started...
