iPAQ 5555 VPN help

[jjd228]

forgive me if i start to curse and fly off the handle but, id love to meet the moron who designed this thing. i have a successful wireless connection at home. from there i want to vpn into my office and sync with my desktop at work. i can successfully sync via the wireless network at my job, so this should work!!!! so why cant i make it work with a vpn? could it be that the morons that designed this thing dont know what theyre doing?... My ISP, Work... LOL... what a JOKE! whew... nope, still dont feel better. so what do i do?? im online via my wireless LAN at home, so how do i set up a vpn to my job and actually SEE it connected????

The first thing you need to find out is what type of VPN your office is using? PocketPC can support PPTP protocol. If your office use other vpn such as ipsec, you will need 3rd party software to connect such as this:

Here's some tutorial for PPTP vpn, it's for ppc 2002 but it should give you some idea.

thank you! although the problem has fixed itself. much like many other problems with mobile windows versions! something wont work, the it will work suddenly with no changes on your part. very odd
