I am trying to connect a windows mobile 5.0 pocket PC to a windows 2003 sp1
RAS. I am using a PPTP vpn connection to try to connect. I receive the
following error in the event viewer on the windows 2003 server. The event
viewer comes up with a RASMAN error - The connection between the VPN Server
and the VPN Client has been established but the VPN cannot be established.
Event ID 20209. It talks about GRE47 being blocked, and actually the
connection is not established. I have checked all I could think of and it
does not seem to be blocked. We have many windows 2000 PC, and windows XP
pc's that connect to this VPN server as well and they do not have a problem.
Does anyone have any idea's as to what this can be? Is it actually a problem
with port 47 being blocked somewhere. I turned on logging on our firewall
and connect with a windows 2000 PC and the logs show packets threw from port
1723 and 47, when I do the same connection with windows mobile the firewall
only shows port 1723. No logs of port 47 being block or ever coming threw.
I beleive it is an issue with windows mobile since cingular is telling me
they don't block anything. Thanks for your help.

Did you add the server's IP to the Exception list under the advanced
connection properties? That is what it took for me to connect.

I can get my RAS (PPTP) connection to function just fine and dandy, but I
can't get the Terminal Services client to connect to anything once the RAS is
established.

I am having a similar problem only I am trying to use the Bluefire VPN
client to connect using ipsec.

I am able to negotiate a connection fine but once I am connected I am
unable to see any machines on our network. I've tried pinging, terminal
services, telnet, etc. and nothing is working.

The same client works fine on a co-workers Mobile2003 device so I can
only assume it is something unique to Mobile5.

If anybody has any ideas, please share.

Thanks,
Brian

I too am having a problem with the VPN client in Mobile 5 connecting to a
RRAS server. The error I get is that I am getting VPN server problems and
to check my username and password. Does anyone else have any information on
this?
