[pptp-server] Problems with iPAQ clients?

[David Moylan]

I use windows 2000 as the host with my ipaq and the pc
"masquerades/proxies" my connection so I have pseudo live connectivity.

Ie: with the ipaq in the cradle I can surf the net, run Microsoft
messenger, use the terminal server client and send/receive e-mail with
external POP3 mail servers.

The same of course works when I use the infrared or serial port with my
mobile phone or an external modem.

I haven't tried any pptp action with the ipaq as yet, but I just wanted
to state that live action from the ipaq in the cradle *does* work.

Cheers, Wiz!!

Remember that the cradle only has pseudo-IP connectivity - ActiveSync
and
the iPAQ talk to each other over a 192.168.115.0/30 network or something
dodgy like that - IIRC it's a 2 bit subnet (2 hosts, one broadcast and
one
subnet address) and the Windows host that's running ActiveSync doesn't
forward packets. If you want any IP connectivity for the iPAQ using the
cradle, you're out of luck :( This is the offical word from Compaq,
unfortunately.
