the pc shop provide a way to access to the wireless network in our univeristy, but i do not know how to install the Cisco VPN clients in my nokia 770. is there anyone can help me ?

There is no really simple way, but it seems like they accept PPTP. You can find a way to run PPTP from http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/#pptp - it's listed in the Applications that are works in progress here: http://www.maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationCatalogWip

To install that, you need to flash a new kernel image onto your 770 first, and then install the PPTP client - and then manually write the configuration file for it. Not for the faint of heart and you need access to a Linux box to flash the image I suspect (using the Linux "flasher" command from Nokia.)

The Nokia can't handle the Cisco clients, they are PC only, I think.

I could really use an IPSec VPN client for the 770 myself, but so far there is nothing that I know of.

thanks. i think it is really difficult because i know that no PDA can get connection until now.

Windows mobile and Palm OS (with third party support) can handle this. Sadly it is utterly slow and is IMHO not worth it.

I hope someone ports a VPN client to the Nokia 770. I could use it to connect to my PC at home bypassing my school's firewall.

As a side note...

A VPN solution for wireless? I manage a college network. We're investigating security solutions for wireless connectivity. VPN is useful but has performance and scaleability issues. VPN alone on wireless limits remdiation of non-college managed devices. Worst case.... Student has an infected, non-patched windoze box and network dies. VPN won't stop a non-managed, non-patched, virus/rootkit infected m$ device.

802.1x with certs for packet level wireless encryption and vlan quarentine works.

Is tthere an 802.1x client for Nokia 770?

Anyway, sounds like your option is Microsoft PPTP.

Thanks.

Is there something wrong with vpnc that I'm missing? Used to work fine for me at my uni until I installed the 2006 OS beta. I havn't tried installing it after that since I won't be back at my uni until the fall. http://maemo.org/maemowiki/InstallVPNC

I'm not familiar with vpnc - is it a standard IPSec client or is it some Cisco-specific weirdness?

I followed all the instructions and was able to connect and get an IP.

How do I setup routing, I can't seem to find a route command that works? I do not have the nat kernel module for iptables, please feel free to post that ;-)


Is there a ppp option I need to pass to auto setup the route.


thanks ,,,,

Yes, it is really hard for the beginner, any way, thank you for your advice, it is really useful for us.
