hi all!

I've got a HP iPAQ hx2795, and it came preinstalled with WM 5 (begining to wonder whether I should have got one with 2003).

The wireless network at uni requires a VPN connection. So i set this up in connection settings. I connect to the network fine but the internet still doesn't work. I've set the proxy settings as well but no joy!

I've been googling abit and came across another university that had a guide to set up a VPN, so i followed the instructions (substituting the relevant information) and the final step is tap the wireless icon and a bubble will appear with the signal strenght and other information. Tap connect via VPN in this bubble! That has never come up!

Was just wondering whether anyone else tried using a VPN on WM 5 or knows how to?

Many thanks,

Jonny
