CHAPTER 5 Common Questions
Why doesn’t the VPN included with my handheld work with my
corporate network?
The VPN client included with Wi-Fi card is based on the PPTP protocol.
See www.palmOne.com/support
for links to and information about other VPN solutions.
Why can’t I synchronize my handheld wirelessly?
Check the signal status to make sure you are connected to your wireless network. See Viewing
signal strength.
Make sure the PC selected for Network in the Modern Sync Preferences is your PC. See
Preparing your handheld
.
Why doesn’t the Wi-Fi card software work after I restored my
handheld from a backup or performed a hard reset?
After restoring a handheld from a backup, for example, when replacing a lost device, or after
performing a hard reset on your handheld, you must reinstall the Wi-Fi card software. The Wi-Fi
card software components are not backed up when you synchronize your handheld and your
computer. Using a backup card from palmOne or third-party backup and restore utilities to restore
your handheld doesn’t properly reinstall the Wi-Fi Card software.
Why is my VPN connection failing?
Make sure that your VPN account settings are properly configured. Some reasons why a VPN
connection fails are the following:
The password you are using is incorrect or expired.
You entered typos in the VPN server name or address.
The VPN gateway is temporarily shut down.
A firewall may be blocking VPN access.
