I've been trying to get my x51v to work with my university's wireless network since I got it and, despite a few helpful posts, have had no success.
The network has VPN security, but Penn State's website doesnt have anything listed about configuration settings for the network because they just tell you to download their free pre-configured Cisco VPN Client (obviously not pocket pc compatible
).
Here's what I know about the network based on the VPN client I downloaded from the university site:
I have the Group Authentication Name and Password
Host (mobility.mk.psu.edu)
"Enable Transparent Tunneling" is checked.
"IPSec over UDP (NAT/PAT)" is checked.
Thats it. Now I tried entering this information into Dell's VPN client in several different combinations, but I admit that I dont know a whole lot about networking so I could just be entering information wrong.
I connect to the wireless network fine but cant access internet or anything else. When I try using VPN it gives me an error and says "check VPN settings". Theres no pop-up window that says "Enter User ID and Password" like on the Cisco desktop client (the user ID is my student ID and password, not the general Group Name and password that is preconfigured). I dont know how to enter both the general user ID / password and my specific student ID / password into the axim, and theres no nice little pop-up box...
Like I said, I dont know a whole lot about networking so I have no clue what "IPSec over UDP" or NAT/PAT means, so theres a good chance Im putting in my info wrong, but I dunno perhaps additional software is necessary. I also read someone saying that Oddessy Client could be used to connect to VPN as well... would I need to use that for this network?
If anyone could maybe translate these settings from Cisco VPN Client into "Axim language" and help me out with how to connect to the network I would be EXTREMELY grateful.
Any help on this matter is appreciated.
