I've posted my problem in the Pocket PC General forum and not found a
solution but I'm hopeful to get a solution from this NG. I have an iPAQ 4355
which connected perfectly on my work wireless network prior to installing the
1.10 ROM upgrade. After installing the upgrade the VPN connection doesn't do
anything if I'm connected to the wireless access point ... which prevents me
from working at work. If I'm not connected to the wireless access point I at
least get an error message.

I installed the Wireless LAN update yesterday and a couple of times when the
VPN connection was NOT needed it tried to connect ... and today now that I'm
back in the office it has never tried to connect.

I'm thinking about going back to the original ROM version although it seems
like a lot of effort for something that SHOULD work.

When you setup the wifi profile for work did you set "connects to" option to
"The Internet" or "Work"? If you set it to "work" yoiu will need to change
it to "The Internet" because the connection manager thinks that if you have
it set to "work" then you don't need vpn connectivity.
