[Q] Wi-Fi through Cisco server - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone found a way to get into a Cisco protected Wi-Fi port? My school's Wi-Fi is managed by Cisco Clean Access. When I connect to the Wifi, it asks me for my user name and password, which I have. However it then asks me to download their agent, which I can not do on my phone. On androids, they can log on simply after putting in the user name and password.
Anyone know a way around this or a way I can log into the network?

Like i said i am able to connect but nothing else. Any ideas?

Connect your PC, then do an "ipconfig" from a cmd shell (assuming Windows). That will tell you both the address assigned to your PC and to the phone (the default gateway).
The webpage at http://192.168.1.1/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
this is the error message i get every time. could it be locked? or is nothing there?
i want to extend the network to my wireless router connected in my house. it will give me access to my printer and my hdd because they are connected to my wireless router. cant figure out how to do it.
The advanced settings are configured through the phone itself, I don't think it has a web interface.
You also won't be able to link it to your home wireless. Those home devices would need to connect to your hotspot wireless.

You would need to use a custom firmware like DD-WRT or Tomato on your home wireless router to do what you want. You would have your home router link to the TB and then everything else to the router. This would also make the rest of your devices connect to the internet through the TB. Probably also not supported or liked by VZW but you can technically do it.

[Q] How to setup and connect to L2TP/IPSec CRT VPN?

Hi,
I've been trying to connect my Desire Z to a VPN that's setup on Windows Server 2003. I've installed the user/CA certificates in my phone, and setup the L2TP/IPSec CRT VPN on the phone. However, when I try to connect, it fails. PSK mode works, and the VPN server is fine since I'm able to connect via a Windows 7 PC. However, when I try to connect to it with my phone, it fails. Using Wireshark, I'm discovering that the failure happens during the key exchange portion. The server requests my phone for the certificate, and doesn't receive anything in return.
Does Android have any specific VPN configurations that I need to set? Also, is there way I can access any logs that say why the server certificate request isn't responded to?
Thanks.
Anyone ?

WIFI Problems

Hi guys,
Since the JB update I'm having massive problems with WPA2 wifi on both my TF101 and Desire. Wifi scans and finds the network, realises it is WPA2 encrypted and asks for the password, accepts the passwords and tries to connect however it is always unable and says something along the lines of 'saved, secured with wpa....'
Is there any solution because with a WIFI only tablet it limits what I can use it for lol
Thanks
Hi!
Every JB / CM10 ROM I have tested changes my TF MAC. The result, if you have MAC filtering enabled on your TF, is the same you are talking about: you detect your net, your password is ok, but your router won't give you an IP address as your MAC is not in the 'allowed list'.
Maybe you can check that to see if that's the problem.:good:

[Q] Any way to lock down to SSH/VPN traffic only?

I want to set my Mum's new tablet so that it can only access the Internet via the SSH server running on her Buffalo router (with Tomato firmware).
I've got the server working and accessible remotely and so far the only app I've found that has a Global Proxy setting to redirect everything via the SSH server is SSHTunnel, although I gather that it's not totally reliable when connections drop/change and I can't expect my Mum to cope with monitoring it and re-enabling it manually. When it's disabled, all traffic will just go over local connection unencrypted so that's a concern.
Ideally there'd be some way to setup the SSH settings at a system level, with no way to disable them and force all the traffic go out like this but I'm not sure if there is any way to achieve this.
The other part is setting a firewall (AFWall+ or Android Firewall seem to be the main ones) to only allow traffic via the SSH server. I'm not sure what whitelist rules would be required for this. For example, SSHTunnel connects to the server at x.x.x.x:x, so I presume I'd need a rule to allow connections to this address and this port (I had a quick play with the Avast firewall, which only allows creating custom rules for IP or port, so I'd need two rules with that and it doesn't allow entering the DynDNS name, only a IP address, so that's no good).
Then SSHTunnel has a Local Port (1984) and remote addressort (127.0.0.1:3128) so I presume I'd need rules to allow all of those as well (I'm not sure which of these need to be incoming/outgoing or both). Then there's the question of whether I need to allow other ports like DNS (53) and so on, or if that all goes over the SSH tunnel and doesn't require setting allow rules specifically.
It might be that a VPN server would be more suitable for what I'm trying to acheive than a SSH server and I think the Tomato firmware on the router has that facility (or if the version currently flashed doesn't, there's probably another version I could flash that does), so if that's the case, I'd appreciate advice on locking it down that way instead. Android has built-in VPN support, so it might be possible to use that but it depends on whether it will auto-connect and stay connected all the time or if it requires user intervention and I'll still need to setup firewall rules to prevent data being sent without the VPN in case it does get disabled.
Another issue is whether these firewall rules will prevent the device even being able to connect to any public Wi-Fi points before redirecting the traffic via the SSH/VPN server, which would obviously be no good.
OK, maybe there's another way
I was thinking of setting up a VPN on a Raspberry Pi installed at my parent's house, as they have reasonable broadband speeds, something like 100/10MB. Is there anyway that I could setup my Mum's tablet so that it passes everything through the VPN whether at home or away, so that she doesn't have to worry about toggling the VPN or firewall?
I can point it to the No-IP domain name I've setup but then I think every request would go out onto the Internet (albeit encrypted) before coming back in to the VPN, which would then have to go out again to retrieve whatever webpage, etc is being requested, which would obviously be stupid. If I point it to the LAN IP of 192.168.1.66, that will avoid doing that when at home but won't work when away.
So, any ideas?
