internetvpn [Virtual Private Network, VPN] APN

Try a newer version of the Cisco VPN client. I use 4.8 and have not had any problems when using the internet or unrestricted APN (I don't have internetvpn).

Are you sure that you are connecting to the internetvpn apn ? You can confirm this with 'ipconfig'.
 
Thx for the responses. I confirmed that Internetvpn is included in the advanced initialisation strings. I'm definately using internetvpn (confirmed via IP address issued (ipconfig)).
I tried using the dialer (without HMC), but it seems that HMC must be loaded to use the E220, and that's when the vpn client hangs (as soon as HMC has loaded). Even if I close HMC, vpn client still hangs. Does anyone know how to access the e220 without loading HMC, ie can windows not detect it as a device and use it without HMC?
 
havn't tried that yet, in fact didn't know that I could use the e620 app with the e220.

What problems are you getting when you try to use the dialer? I have used the e220 without HMC and it dials no problems. Just make sure that you are using the dialer that has the E220 as the default device. Oh yes I now remember you have to set the advanced initialisation string to AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internetvpn"; and the number to dial must be *99#
 
I've found that if I remove the PIN, then I can use the dialer (wihout HMC). Not ideal, cause it means I have to ensure I don't loose my datacard and sim.

I also installed a new version of VPN client 4.6.04.0043, everything seems to work now.

Thanks for the help

With datasim it is always best to disable the pin request.
This was just a proses of elimination. So go back to HMC and try again. Just remember to check that the number to dial in the profile is set to *99# & the APN is set to internetvpn


:cool:

one further update... seems its important to get the startup order right, first establish connection, then startup Cisco VPN client. This means removing the "dial-using" feature in the VPN client. Small price to pay...

That definitely sounds correct. :) Glad that your problem has been solved.
 
Internetvpn APN down?

I can't connect to the internet using the internetvpn APN this morning. It was working fine last night. If I change to the internet APN I can connect fine.

I am using a Nokia 6110 navigator as a modem for my PC and both APNs are activated on my SIM.
 
I have been having intermittent problems with internetvpn apn for the last 3 days ... this morning again as well ... and you can't connect to the smtp server via the vpn apn
 
I am still having problems. I tried calling 155 but I keep getting cut off. Could vodacom3g help?
 
Nevermind. I just succeeded in connecting with the internetvpn APN. Whatever the problem was it seems Vodacom have fixed it.

Yes, I escalated your post above and the guys found a problem that slipped in last night during changes. They fixed it after I called them with your problem.

Was not close to my PC to ask you to re-test, till now.

So thanks for posting and thanks for putting your location information in. A nice example of how the forum can help.

BTW, I expect the unrestricted and internetvpn problems people around the greater Midrand area (including Landyman in Centurion) are seeing, will be resolved tonight.
 
Internetvpn

Hi

How can I check whether internetvpn has been activated on my number by Vodacom? I phoned 082155 at 09:00 this morning to active it and the guy I spoke to said it will take up to 4hours.

I'm using Mobile Partner on my Huawei E220 modem, and in my profile I selected APN as Static and typed internetvpn in the box.

But I still get 10.55.125.229 IP?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help.
