Guest michehrlich Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) UPDATE: I solved this issue, so I'm taking most of what had been in this formerly very long post and putting it in the attached txt file (there may be something of some use to someone in there), and changing the title of the thread. It was previously "VPN Setup on WM6 Pro (Cross-post from 503G thread)". See next post for solution.

Guest michehrlich Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Well, finally got it. Here's what I discovered, through a little experimentation: - When creating the VPN connection in "My Work Network", use PPTP and *not* IPSec/L2TP. - Before you can get the VPN to connect and stay connected, you have to set the ActiveSync schedule settings to manual. My guess is that ActiveSync cannot connect if there is a VPN tunnel open (which would be a lot like the fact that your Outlook-over-http can't connect when you've got a VPN open on your laptop) so, if it is trying to connect, it just plain takes over the internet connection, forcing the VPN to close. - Don't forget to set the ActiveSync schedule settings back to "As Items Arrive" when you're done doing whatever you needed the VPN for. Remote Desktop works like a charm once you have a VPN open. In case your device didn't come with RDM (Remote Desktop Mobile) on it (some OEMs don't include it in their ROM for some reason), here you go: Microsoft_Remote_Desktop_Mobile.cab.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
