Public IP Address?? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I am trying to run one of the many FTP servers available for Windows Mobile (vxFTPSrv or ShareIT FTP) to keep some files in sync but I can't seem to figure out what public IP address my phone has. vxFTPSrv says it is listening to a non-routable 10.**** while whatismy ip says it starts with a 200.**** while DynDNS for Windows Mobile says it is 32.****. Nevertheless, none of these work nor can I get these programs to listen to the ports. Any ideas? Does the Tilt even get a public IP address from AT&T? Thanks.

Try this
I'm no pro, but had to tell the Physical address to the the tech guy at my university so he could enable my phone o use the wireless network...
... anyways, download and install a Registry Editor (I use Task Manager v2.8) you should be able to access an Ipconfig tab, where all the information is available.
I don't know if I'm in the right track.... Hope this helps? =)

your pda have an ip address
using wifi router the uplink sees the routers ip
using an isp the internet sees the isp's assigned ip

Another good one I use is Iper Suite.

For casual use the first one is probably satisfactory.
IPer is worth buying for the increased functionality and has a TFTP client.

200.* would be a public IP. As would 32.*
Turn off your proxy setting in the phone and do the www.whatismyip.com thing. That will get you a more meaningfull result than anything else.
When I'm on GPRS/Edge (AT&T proxy settings in force) network I get a 66.102.186.15 IP address as reported by whatismyip.com. That resolves to alpmagr1fe06-dmz.mycingular.net. Which should be a att proxy server even tho it implies by its name its on a DMZ.
When I turn off the proxy for GPRS/Edge I get 166.195.188.15 according to whatismyip.com. That IP address will not respond to ICMP commands. So I assume it is firewalled. So it seems to me that yes you CAN and DO get a public IP address, its just that address is heavily firewalled.
You've piqued my interest, tho I cannot do anymore testing at this moment.

set IP address fixed wirelesscard (MDAIII, Blueangel)

Does somebody know if it is possibele to change registry to a fixed ipadress for the wireles card on MDAIII, this because when i'am home i want to use a fied ipadres gateway etc, on work i'm using DHCP, coming back home i have to reenter everything again
Go to Settings/Connections/Network Cards. There is an adapter there called WL*** (or something like that). Click on it and enter IP, subnet, GW and DNS server.
Cheers,

that doesnt work
what i wan't is that it remebers my setting is i switch between server assigned ip adress or user specific ip address

Diamond 3G Sync error

Hi all,
I'm having an issue when trying to synchronize two diamonds and a cruise (all of them running wm6.1 FRE) with an Exchange Server 2003 SP2. Each time I try to synchronise through GPRS/3G , i'm getting an error (n° 0x80072EE2, wich means server not available).
Below is my initial situation :
Synchronization is ok using USB on all device. ActiveSync 4.5 is configured to use server "mail.mydomain.com", refering to a different IP address depending on whether synchronization is initiated from outside or inside local network. From outside, a redirection from gandi.net transfers mail.mydomain.com to https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/exchange, "xxx.xxx..." being my exchange server's public IP.
After spending days looking for a workaround, here's what I've tried :
- Disabling WM DNS cache (tried with both DnsCacheEnable and DnsCacheEnabled registry entries) and soft reseting the device, as suggested here : http://forum.soft32.com/pda/Wireless-Attempt-results-Error-0x80072EE2-ftopict76576.html ;
- Unchecking the "use proxy" box in my connection's advanced properties ;
- Placing the OWA redirection (https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/exchange) on a new subdomain : webmail.mydomain.com, in order to have mail.mydomain.com pointing the same public IP address inside and outside the network.
Now I have :
mail.mydomain.com --> public_ip
webmail.mydomain.com --> https://public_ip/exchange
So, theorically, putting my public IP address or mail.mydomain.com inside ActiveSync server's configuration should be exactly the same (except for certificates). Here is my problem : When using directly my IP address, I can see the request going through the firewall, to port 443 of my exchange server (but getting a certificate error, since i'm supposed to be connecting using mail.mydomain.com). When using mail.mydomain.com, I still get the 0x80072EE2 error, and nothing goes through my firewall..........
Looks like there is no DNS lookup during wireless synchronization when using a domain name in activesync configuration...
Thanks for reading, any help would be great.

DNS Errors in WM6.5

Greetings All!
I recently flashed my TyTn II with jjblaster3's 28008 ROM and am having some difficulty setting up internet access via WiFi.
I've set up the static IP address and DNS servers but every time I attempt to access a website I receive a DNS error. I've tried entering various websites IP addresses but for some reason Internet Explorer defaults to http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx whenever xxx.xxx.xx.xx is entered, so I assume it treats the IP addresses as website addresses. I do recall having similar difficulties under WM6.1.
Another thing I have noticed of various WM6.5 ROMS is that the IP address dialogue appears broken in that
The IP and Gateway address inputs are limited to 2 digit octets (i.e. 192.168.0.1 appears as 19.16.0.1)
The subnet mask defaults to 255.0.0.0 as opposed to 255.255.255.0 (note that the subnet mask also appears to be limited to 2 digit octets, so by 255.0.0.0 I actually mean 25.0.0.0)
I've been through the various IP/DNS/Network settings dialogues with a fine tooth comb but I can't seem to find the problem. I've even disabled the phone in an effort to eliminate the possibility that my connections DNS requests are be directed via GPRS.
Anyhow, that's all the information I can think off. Any assistance provided would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Nubey.

VPN client w/RSA token support?

Does anyone know of a VPN client that supports RSA token #'s? I've looked all over the place but can't seem to find anything.
Thanks for any help.
Maybe this? (VPN Connections)

I'm running Cyanogen 5.0.7, and I read all the post but did not see anywhere that is supports RSA tokens. I might still try it and see if it works. Thanks!
It says "Cisco VPN Client". I know that Cisco VPN supports RSA tokens, having used one for a long time.

Do you think it will still work on a N1, I see that the instructions are for the Desire?

Thanks to Jack_R1 I believe I have everything loaded correctly. Now could someone tell me where I can find my IPSec info on my computer? I'm not to familiar with the VPN stuff, but I have been working at this forever. I'm trying to do this on the low from my company since they said that they won't do it for me.
Any help would be great, thanks.
If you're using any proprietary sw to connect, look there in the connection properties to find the server IP. If not - look in Windows connection properties for VPN 'dialing' connection.

Our computers use Nortel Contivity, but I can't find the connection properties anywhere. I see the destination ip, and the assigned ip.
The IPSec gateway address should be what?
IPSec ID?
IPSec Secret?
bump for help!
Couldn't find anything and not familiar with Nortel SW..

"You will now be asked first for your Ubuntu password, and then the following VPN info: the IPSec gateway address (the hostname of the VPN router you want to connect to), the IPSec ID (aka group ID), IPSec secret (aka group password), username (your VPN username), and password (your password or the value of your SecurID or other token if you have one)."
I guess you need to ask your IT personnel for IPSect ID and secret. IPSec gateway you can find from settings:
http://www.it.ubc.ca/security/VPN/setupdocs/nortelcontivity.html
"Destination" field holds it.

I believe that I have all my settings correct but I'm still getting "failed to connect". I'm going to do a little more searching but if I can't get it I'm giving up, I have spent hours on this. Thanks for all your help Jack_R1.
I've just started trying to make this work also. Lex, did you ever find a solution?

Nope, I tried everything. Jack r1 was very helpful, but I just couldn't get it. I think my company's security is just too high to bypass and my lack of knowledge didn't help.

[Off-Topic] How do I setup a connection to my home web server?

(Don't blame me for being long-winded, I'm just explaning the situation (why I want to do all these) and also to prevent people from asking questions such as "Why do you even want to host your website at home?")
I want to pay for web hosting, but, as a student, I can't. I also want to host all my Android Development on my site, apart from XDA and Samdroid. But, I can't use a credit card (obviously, my country dosen't allow ownage of CCs before 21), and free web hosts (sorry for shouting) S*CK. Slow loading, banning because of CPU-hogging/ too many cron jobs, etc, etc... Also, my parents are paranoid about their credit card details being sold online at exorbitant prices. I do understand that web hosting is expensive, and it is not really wise to allow free web hosting, and I do not want to blame them for banning me, hence I decided to host my website from home. *catches breath* I do have some prior knowledge of fixing stuff, and whipping old parts into one lean mean computing machine. I've set up the computer, and configured my router. I can view the web site (It's good'ol wordpress) when I typed my local IP into the web browser from another computer in the home network. But, when I tried to access using the public IP from my school, I cannot enter the site. I have previously configured port-forwarding. I used No-IP's dynamic DNS client in this case. When I checked my public IP using different websites, all gave me different information. One gave me an IP with 255.244.***.***, another gave me 157.209.***.***, and others gave me 255.250.***.***
1) How do I make sure that when someone types in a URL or IP, it will show me what I want them to show?
2) Why are different websites give me different public IPs? No, I don't have a firewall, or a proxy.
We need more information:
1. Who is your internet provider
2. How do you connect? ADSL/SDSL/T1/Dial up?
3. If its ADSL/SDSL then you'll have a router (unless they've given you a USB modem for it). We'll need to know what type.
4. What's your concection speed, both down and more importantly up.
Now, assuming your ISP doesn't give you web space that you could use, then you'll need the following:
You'll need a dynamic dns service, some are free.
You'll need a router which can forward http (TCP port 80) traffic from the internet to your web server.
Once the router is forwarding http traffic to the web server, people on the internet will be able to access your website.
If you want to access it using the same address then you'll have to update your hosts file on your computer.
For windows this is in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add an entry like:
dynamic dns web address IP address of webserver
So if you've set up arikyeo.dyndns.org and your webserver's internal IP address is 192.168.0.200 then you'd add the following to the hosts file:
arikyeo.dyndns.org 192.168.0.200

I used No-IP dynamic DNS service, with their client. But, it didn't work. I am using Singtel as my ISP, with a Linksys B/G router. I have forwarded the port 80 to the IP, and set port 80 as an exception. I can view the site locally, but not from the outside world.
Setup your no ip on their site as a port 80 forward. Forward this to the local port on your computer that you are using for the server. Log into your router and port forward the same port that you put in for the no ip into the from and to ports section and be sure its forwarding to your lan ip. After this is done then try it.

I see that you have already been told how best to start your server. I can also recommend instructions for collecting server statistics https://www.host-tracker.com/Blog/server_m/ This will come in handy for you in the future. Here you can configure notifications for server failures.
