Can anyone assit me in connecting my pda via a vpn to an sme 6 server. I have tried PPTP but it always fails to connect because of the encryption rate. I could really use some suggestions. Any help will be greatfully recieved.

Perhaps you can try this : http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/index.html?frame=http%3A//sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/howtos/howto_30.htm

Although I don't know if it works on Pocket PC 2003, seems worth to try ?

I have already tried that one and it works fine for pc to pc vpns but it won't work on a pda
Thanks for the help
Have you got any other ideas?

Since it seems to be an encryption pbl, you can try to change the encryption rate on your pda.
There is also encryption related patches from Microsoft (see http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=26523.msg108282#msg108282)
Perhaps you'll have to search in this direction.

Good Luck !

Similar Problem - I can connect to the VPN (6.5) from a Windows XP Box (connected to a Wireless router for internet), but the PDA (connected to same router) has authentication issues. The settings in the PDA VPN are very limited. Thought of using other VPN clients out there rather than the VPN client that comes with the PDA by default - but would rather use the default as the latter usually attract a fee.
Is MS-CHAP turned on by default in SME?
