VPN client help??

FlashFIRE · 07-27-04, 12:34 AM

Hi there, I'm about to purchase an Axim X30, with the built in WiFi. I've read many reviews on it and one thing i remember seeing is that it comes with Funk software's client? or something like that... my school has wireless but runs a VPN.

is this Funk software the VPN client i need to access my school's wireless? I found a thread concerning this... people asking for a free VPN client.. but it was never really answered...

so does the X30 come with a VPN client already? or do i have to use a 3rd party one? and if so, has anyone found a free one?

or maybe even better, has anyone succesfully got wireless to work on their axim when there's VPN involved?

ive read up on a lot of VPN stuff on the net... but i'd like know it's possible to get wifi w/ vpn workin on an axim b4 i buy the X30 with wifi capabilities :)

help plz!!!

thanx!

Hey FlashFIRE, Welcome to Aximsite!

I asked the same question a few weeks ago, and like you said, never really got a solid answer on the subject. My University also uses VPN Networking to access the campus network. I will be receiving my x30H tomorrow if UPS tracking works correctly, so I will be of more help tomorrow.

I'm not sure about the computer support at your school, but at Texas A&M I have been assured that we can get it working, and the techies that work for the school will help free of charge. That might be something you want to check in to.

Once again, Welcome!

hey bigbob.. sounds good.. tell me if u get yours set up at school!

i checked out your school's website! it's got a pretty good help section on VPN set up! even supplies movian.. don't think its full .. but at least they're supplying something they know works! i feel a lot better knowing that they assure working wifi on your axim!! my school sounds like its runnin the same system.. uses a cisco concentrator. so.. i guess ill use your school's help section to set myself up when i get my x30!

gl with your vpn stuff.. and tell me how it goes! thnx!

btw.. offtopic.. but.. using the vpn network, can u send files from a home comp. to a pda? ie. i forgot an assignment... could i send it to my pda while im at school?:)
