Hi all - I suspect this is really easy, but I've been searching various forums for way too long now.. I thought I'd got a decent hit with http://www.pocketpcmag.com/_archives/nov03/vpn.asp, where the author says
"I simply connected my Pocket PC to the Internet, established a VPN
tunnel, remote-controlled the user's workstation.."
but alas I can't get it working.
I've got my connection to the ISP sorted, & can access pages ok there, & I think I've got the details of the VPN server sorted ok too, but when I right-click & select 'connect' it knocks out the moby's data call.
Anyone out there done this, & can save me many more hours? - Don't even go near Fujitsu's support site - useless! [It's a Loox720 that I'm using].
TIA.

At looooong last, I have cracked this!! :lol:

I now use DUN to my bluetooth moby to get to my ISP, then VPN over to the work's server. I then run a VNC client on the PDA to connect to another server on my work's LAN. From there I can access the non-TCP app that I need to update my out-oh-hours call stack - all from the pub! Excellent!

The following was very useful : http://www.pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5342&whichpage=4

I can't believe how tricky Connection Manager is, & how useless the documentation that came with my Loox720 is.

If anyone else needs the above, drop me a line. Cheers all.
