SPV M1000, GPRS and VPN's

[Guest [email protected]]

Ultimately I am hoping to achieve a connection to our company VPN using GPRS.

What I have achieved / found so far is:

I cannot get the VPN to even come close to working using Orange GPRS, but I do get better results using a cell line and dialing up my ISP and then creating a VPN connection.

There are 2 types of VPN connection available, namely PPTP and IPSec.

I have had no joy with IPSec whatsoever, and looking at the settings available on the basic IPSEC client software in the operating system (PPC 2003) I doubt it will work to be honest. I have looked at Movian VPN client, and I think we will get that to work, but we are still a long way off

Using PPTP (basic client in the OS) I have found:

1. We cannot connect to our VPN server, which is a Multitech RF600VPN, which uses a Linux Kernel. There are very few settings available on PPTP, so I am not sure there is a whole lot we can try, but I believe the problem is in the authenticaion process, as I am getting activity on the logs on my VPN server

2. If I set up an XP Pro machine as a PPTP VPN server, I can connect no problem. Using a Microsoft PC as a VPN server just does not sit comfortably with me at all!!

3. I have failed to find any 3rd party PPTP VPN client software

Anyone out there further advanced that I am?

you have posted this in the smartphone area of MoDaCo.

Also in future please use one post where one post will do, it gets difficult to follow multiple threads from the same user on the same subject.

I will visit the URL you recommend, thanks.

Actually I split each posting up in to the different areas of interest specifically to avoid the confusion ...
