VPN Clients?

[Guest Hamilogre]

I have a SMT5600 on AT&T, i'm wondering if there are any smart phone VPN clients that will allow me to connect to my works' exchange server.

You don't necessarily need a VPN - unless someone at your work has told you that you do!.

If you can access your mailbox from Outlook Web Access (the "web mail" interface that comes with Exchange) you should be able to connect.

You can just setup your mailbox as you would with an ISP:

Username is your Windows Domain username

Password is.. you guessed it! your Windows Domain password

Domain is your Windows Domain name

Incoming server is the web-facing internet domain name (e.g. mail.yourcompany.com)

no vpn required, active sync is vital though to be configured correctly

That's a remtote control app, a very good one, but nothing to do with VPN.

Chucky Egg is right you don't necessarily need a VPN.

You could use OWA (Outlook web access) but only if your IT dept allows direct access to it from outside your domain. If they do allow direct access you're in luck. If it's not used or you need a VPN connection to connect then...

You can configure a windows VPN on your smartphone through data connection > edit connections > VPN. You will need to ask your IT Dept for all the information to configure the VPN. For example you'll need to know whether you need to use IPSec/L2TP or PPTP and what your domain name and server name are, etc.

If you have to set up a VPN to access the network then you'd be better off setting up the mailbox as Chucky has said in his reply.

If you're using a Cisco firewall that's configured to only accept connections from Cisco VPN clients then as far as I'm aware you're snookered as there isn't a Cisco VPN client for the smartphone.

There are many answers to your question as it all depends on the architecture of your corporate network. You're best bet is to ask your IT adminstrator.
