VPN connection problem ??

[Freestyler]

I have a testet vpn server based on Linux. There is no problem with PC's
connection with it. When I have a PocketPC in the craddle I can see all data
from vpn on my PocketPC.
When I try to get VPN connection over GPRS this fails. I don't even know how
to connect with VPN !
My GPRS connection works fine. My VPN connection have a proper Host Name (IP
also tested), PPTP type, username, and a password.
When I tap my VPN connection and choose "Connect" - the GPRS connection is
established, but no VPN connection try is done (I've tried to put bad
password). My admin says that no VPN connection try is made on the server.

Can sb tell me how to estabish a VPN connection on PocketPC?

Any help appreciated.

Hi...

Don't know if this applies to your problem, but I hade the same problem,
and with some help from my phonecompany we made it work.

My GPRS connection included this extra dial-string: +cgdcont=1,"IP","internet"
and this gave a working internet connection, but it broke my VPN connections.
The solution is to swap "internet" with "internet.public" in the dial-string.
The reason for this is that some VPN servers require public IP addresses on
the client, and the .public addition in the string supplies a public IP to
the client.
