Re: Is it possible to sync from a remote cradle?

Hi,
Theoretically it will work as you described. However the assumption is that
there is no firewall or proxy between the Pocket PC and the PC.

Also, not all VPNs will allow you to connect the Pocket PC and access the
corporate network. This is for security reasons. So in this case, Ethernet
will not resolve the problem.

Finally Windows Mobile 2003 does support a VPN however you need to ask your
network administrator about configuring it. The VPN support is limited to
Microsoft servers. Also, there are 3rd party VPN clients for the Pocket PC.

This set of steps is redundant in many places, and it's also enormously expensive, since you're using no less than three different expensive bits of networking hardware (AP, PIX, VPN Concentrator), in addition to a bunch of x86 server hardware, windows server licenses, and at least one ISA license. ...
