Hi!

Is there any software, that is able to connect to wireless networks with domain, username, password.....I saw only one for pocket pc. I hope there is something for our NX...

for pocket pc:

there must be a solution. I am also not able to connect to the internet with my wifi card. I need username/password authorization, but netfront does not support it.


thx

I think only the T|C supports VPN, which is what I think you're talking about.

I agree, I don't believe there is anthing for the Clie. Many have complained, but none had solutions.

Does anybody have time to make some contribution to the CLIE community?

Can someone port SAMBA to CLIE ?

There is a VPN client for Palm OS
Is it ok?

Q: Can I use Mergic VPN on Palm OS 5 based handhelds?

A: No, the current version of Mergic VPN is not compatible with Palm OS 5.

There is a version of Mergic VPN's PPTP implementation built-in to the ROM of the Palm Tungsten C OS 5 device. This version uses a VPN interface created by Palm specifically for this device. We are not sure when or if this interface will be made available for other OS 5 devices.

There is also work going on to generically support Mergic VPN in Palm OS 5 but creating the necessary changes to support the VPN drivers is complicated and there is currently not a release date set.

Furthermore.....

Q: Do you support the Sony PEGA-WL100 Wireless LAN Card?

A: No, the Sony PEGA-WL100 Wireless LAN Card doesn't use the Palm OS virtual driver interfaces that are required by Mergic VPN to encrypt network traffic.

There is a VPN which seems to work on the NX70 with the WL100 Wifi card: Movian (http://www.certicom.com/products/movian/movianvpn.html). I can connect with my company's VPN, although I haven't yet been able to browse our internal website with NetFront. I'm going to try the VPN through my GPRS cell phone rather than via WiFi and see if that makes a difference tomorrow.

The website doesn't claim OS5 nor WL100 support, but given that I can connect with my VPN I'm quite sure it works.

I was hoping there was a network tool I could use with the Clie and the WL100, I currently have an Axim, and wanted to switch over but I need VPN and some network tools...
