I can establish a wireless connection to my home network or through my Sprint Vision card. I can't figure out how to connect to my corporate VPN.
In Windows, it is like a dial up connection to a server and I enter user login and password. I have entered the vpn server on in the connections settings, but can't seem to initiate a login.
Any help is appreciated.

VPN's normally require the sending, receiving, and authentication of an encryption key undere IPsec. Regular data services normally assign dynamic IP addresses per connection which makes that unuseable. If you are using standard data services, you may call up your cellular provider and ask them to transfer you to an APN which supports VPN connections (secure data connectivity) and you will also be assigned a hard-coded IP address.

I don't know what Sprint uses, but T-Mobile's APN's are:

Public Data APN: internet2.voicestream.com

VPN Data APN: internet3.voicestream.com

The APN and IP configuration can be sent to your handset directly by your cellular rep and automatically installed when received as a text message, or you can manually program it when you receive it.

If you are using the voice-only circuit (Dial-up as opposed to GPRS), the VPN goes straight through as it tunnel's IPsec through IP as per the setup of your PocketPC's VPN client which has its own permanent IP address separate from the dynamic IP address of your internet connection.

Hope this helps.;)

And of course you may need a VPN cilent for PPC too.

SO, were you able to get it to work with VPN?
