Re: XV6700 VPN setup

I have the same exact problem. I'm using a Sprint PPC6700. When I connect to
my company VPN I cannot ping any devices on the company LAN.

I'm connecting to a Watchguard Firebox III 700 running v7.21 software. I
administer the firewall so I can log in and verify that I'm connecting to
it. When I try to ping a device on the company LAN I just get a request
timed out message. Watching the firebox log in real time, I see that the
packet never gets to the Firebox however.

I can help you out with the Watchguard stuff if you need it.

Ok try this, delete the modem connection that you created. Leave the
entry
that says "programs that automatically connect to the internet should
connect using" set to verizon's default. Next under "programs that
automatically connect to a private netowrk should connect using" tap
"new",
under the "general" tab name the connection then goto the "vpn" tab and
tap
"new" and enter you r vpn information. You may want to delete *.* entry
for
the exceptions unless you wish for all traffic to go through the vpn.
Note
that messenger traffic will still cause the vpn tunnel to drop even if you
have *.* defined in the exceptions list. The final thing which I
should've
asked first is what type of vpn enpoint are you connecting to? At the
moment I'm researching a problem that I'm having connecting to a
watchguard
vpn where I can't ping anything on the vpn yet I'm connected. I believe
the
problem I'm having is a configuration issue on the watchguard side but
since
I have to go through another person to get that configured things are
progressing slowly.

After searching and examining many posts regarding Pocket PC and VPN
configuration, I am still unable to get a workable VPN configuration.
Although, it appears I can establish a VPN connection, I am unable to
ping IPs on the VPN subnet with the exception of my own as set through
DHCP during VPN session initiation.

Before continuing, I have installed the vxUtils from Cambridge
(http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html) to aid in troubleshooting (ping,
tracert, dns lookup, ipconfig). This app has proven most valuable
during troubleshooting.

Now to begin, under Start->Settings->Connections I added a modem
connection using the same setup as the Verizon Wireless modem
connection (#777), and added a single VPN entry specifying the public
IP of the VPN server. Finally, I added a single entry to
Start->Settings->Connections->Advanced (tab)->Exceptions of *.*. To
establish the connection, I tap Start->Settings->Connections->My Work
Network->Manage Existing Connections->VPN (tab), press my connection
name for a moment, and tap Connect. All indications appear to connect
successfully, and if I perform an IP config I can see RAS VPN Line 0
has the normal IP attributes for a valid connection on the VPN (IP,
DNS, gateway, etc.). Yet when I ping an IP on the VPN subnet I receive
"Request time out". I am also unable to resolve the IP address I am
pinging using DNS lookup.

Thank you for your help in resolving this matter

Jim
