Configuring VPN connection?

[dontoe]

Got my Axim 50v yesterday. Really great but,I have good signal strength to the LyncSys Router but it pops up a message saying I need to "Configure VPN connection" How the heck do I do that?

does that come up while in Internet Explorer?? if so you need to go to Start-->Settings-->Connections-->Network Adapters-->the second tab over from the left (cant remeber exactly what it is, i dont have my ppc with me right now ) and then change the drop down to "Internet"

then if you are syncing in via WIFI with (doesnt matter with usb)activesync you will need to change that drop down to "work"

this is kinda a little dumb networking thing in all pocket pcs..

hope this works and welcome to aximsite :approve:

No need to sync by network really. First time PDA owner. I have done alot of graphics work and gaming on laptops and desktops but nothing on PDAs

I'm trying to connect wireless. Anyone?

[dontoe]

Anyone? Surely someone can help.

Select "Internet" or "My ISP" for both areas instead of "Work". As long as they are the same you can sync wirelessly. Also you must sync at least once with the cradle to set up a partnership.

Now I get a popup that I need to set up a proxy!


Any walkthroughs?

I have Linksys, try this...
1) Turn on your wireless...green flashing light.
2) Go to settings...Connection tab
3) Select Network Cards.
4) Your wireless network should show up in the "Add New" with Available?
5) Select the wireless networkand make sure it says "Connect to Internet" not "Work".
6) Click OK.

If you have MAC filtering enabled on your linksys network, disable it temporarily & try Internet Explorer.

Once you have everything working, Go back to settings and press WLAN Utility, and press the Advanced tab. Note the MAC address and add that to your list of addresses in Linksys. Finally renable the MAC filtering.

That was a great walkthrough. Thanks!

But it's back to the(Cannot connect)
In order to to connect to
your work network you will need
to configure a VPN connection.


Frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!

OK now at least it says" the page your looking for cannot be found."

Different anyway.

very wierd, i was trying to say earlier what hurricane4911 just said...but he made it simpler

are you sure your internet works over the wifi??? meaning does the wifi work for internet with other devices??

[Hurricane4911]

This is just a guess but..

On settings go to Connections.
Press Set Up Proxy Server.

Under each tab Modem, VPN, Proxy Settings..there should be no entries. If there are, delete them and re-try the configuration steps.

If all else fails, do a hard reset, that will reset your PPC to factory settings and perform the configuration steps. Keep in mind that everything you downloaded to your PPC will be lost.

Well I've tried the hardresets several times this evening even before your suggestion. At least now it says cannot find............that is a bit better I reckon. Gonna get to bed now though. Almost midnight! Maybe better luck tomorrow. Thank all for the help.

I assume you use DHCP server on the router, has your PPC successfully obtained a DHCP IP? you can check it in the "Advanced" tab of the WLAN utility.
