VPN via WiFi to Exchange Activesync

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi Kevin,
Since you can connect fine via gprs I would check the wifi
connection profile and make sure it's set to "internet". If it's set to
"work" this will cause to connection manager to think that it's already on a
work network and will keep it from connecting to the vpn.

Yes this is very strange, especially since you can connect fine via laptop
on the same wireless network and you have no problems connecting via gprs
from the device itself. Are you getting any errors when you try making the
connection with wifi or does it just not even try to connect?
