How to allow VPN connection on iPhone while connected to home Wireless?

Hello there,
I recently setup a VPN on my phone to connect to the internet. However I'm having issues with my wiresless modem I think. I can connect to the internet via VPN on my phone when I'm on 4G network. But when I connect to Wireless at home it doesn't coonnect and fails everytime.
Can someone please help me figure out how to get this working? I have a Motorola Surfboard SB6121. Manual is here: http://www.arrisi.com/modems/datasheet/SB6121/SB6121_Installation_Guide.pdf
Thought, suggestions, comments? I'm open to ideas to get this to work.
Thanks in advance,
Lorne

Run it and see what your throughput is (VPNs require a certain level of bandwidth)
Look for the IP address in the lower left 22.33.55.99 (this is just an example)
The name of your ISP is usually underneath it.
When at-home, you can use OpenDNS which is free and probably has the same effectiveness as pageclean.

But all that brings up a question, why are you giving an iPhone to kids?

Will connecting my iPhone 5 to my home VPN increase my data speeds?

Will connecting my iPhone 5 to my home VPN increase my data speeds?
As you are aware Sprint definitely does not have the fastest data speeds. I am constantly stuck on 3G while inside. I was wondering if I setup my phone to be connected to a VPN if that will help increase the data speed?

Sorry, let me clarify I will be connecting to the VPN while I am at work. When at home I am on the WiFi

How do I know if my iPhone is connected to my wireless network?

How do I know if my iPhone is connected to my wireless network?
I entered the password to my network but it seems to be continuously trying to connect. The network name changed from black to navy blue. Does this mean anything?

You will see the wi-fi symbol (fan) in the status bar.
Read the manual:

I cannot connect my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When trying to connect it says I have the wrong password, but I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have tried to restart my router, reset my network settings, fail!

Hello, I am having some major troubles connecting my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When I try to connect on my phone, it says I have an incorrect password. That's not possible because I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have reset my network settings on my phone, reset my router, called apple support, triple checked I was trying it in correctly, I have no clue what's going on.
The only thing different is I just moved, but I have the same router/phone/internet provider.
I've seen some discussions of router security options being the problem, I have my router connected to : WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES].
The other options are: WEP , WPA-PSK[TKIP] , WPA2-PSK [AES] , WPA/WPA2 Enterprise.
My troubleshooting and understanding of all this is pretty limited, my applecare service did not help, please can anyone help me?
Thanks!

If the issue happened after an update, you may want to go into an Apple Store. Be sure to let them know exactly what's wrong with the device.

Trying to connect my iphone 4 to my home wifi network! my android phone gives me the option of pushing the arrows button on my router and on my android phone but cannot find the "push the arrows button" option on my iphone 4. is this option available???

No such option on an iPhone. Just go to Settings>wifi, tap the name (SSID) of your your home network from the list, then when prompted, enter the password.

How to activate my factory unlocked iPhone without connecting to iTunes.

My brother just bought a factory unlocked iPhone 4 because he is moving to Italy for 3 years and he just got out there got a GSM Microsim from WIND a local carrier and after entering the sim pin it keeps saying unable to activate. He is on a wifi network as it says for him to be yet it still isn't working. I know if he plugged it in to iTunes it would work but he left his MacBook pro here in the states until he needs it in January. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

If it's running iOS 5 it should be able to activate without the need to plug it in to iTunes. There may be an issue with the WiFi network he's on at the moment. Assuming he has a data plan, he should be able to activate it over 3G, I believe. Early on after iOS 5 was released, there were a number of reports in the US that people on AT&T were not able to activate their phones after updating over the Internet (WiFi) but WERE able to activate them while connected to the AT&T 3G network.
If he can't do it over 3G, have him try another WiFi network. Without knowing the details of the network he's using, it's hard to offer advice. Hotels and public hotspots may not be the best place to try it as they rarely (in my experience) have things configured and working well. It may well be that the network he's on wants him to authinticate and agree to their terms (usually done in the browser) before it will allow an outside connection. That's not going to work well when he's trying to activate the phone.

PC crashes when I connect my iPhone while it has pics in the cameral roll

Whenever I connect the iPhone to the PC while there are pics in the camera roll, the PC crashes with a blue screen. I can simply just delete the pics but I really don't want to not be able to have pics on my iPhone.
Any help?
I have Windows XP Pro if that helps.
Thanks in advance

I had the same problem as this and couldn't work out what it was! After reading on this feed and finding out this happened because of Logitech camera it only comfused me more as I didn't think I had one!
After looking on the net a little more I found out that my built in web cam was a Logitech.
So after reading I needed to update the drivers for this I went on the Acer website and found only update drivers for Vista OS, I am running XP! Away I downloaded the vista drivers and now the camera on my iPhone is working great and doesn't crash my laptop.
So thanks veryone for your help and hope that this helps others with the same problem... there is nothing worse than having something new that doesn't do what it says on the tin!

My iphone is lost. Find my iphone is enabled. Problem is how can anyone who found my iPhone gets connected to wifi, when I had already put my passcode on my phone? In this way, how can I track my phone using Find my iPhone?

Hello all,
My iPhone 4 has been lost recently. I had turned my Find my iPhone enabled and my passcode was also on. Now that I lost my phone, the person who find my phone cannot be tracked in my assumption. Because, he can never get connected to other wifi when unknown passcode is there. So, please tell me any suggestions that helps me find my iPhone or track it.

Can't connect to internet while connect with spaeker

I just bought airport express from istudio. I wanna surf the internet while connect the speaker too. how can i do
so i wanna get how to set up this one. I use dlink access point plug from dlink router

Hello yosarena. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
In order to surf the Internet while streaming to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), the AX needs to be configured to "Join a wireless network."
(ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless > Wireless Mode = Join a wireless network)
This will allow you to connect to the D-Link's wireless network for Internet access and stream to the AX simultaneously.

HT4628 my powerbook g4 os x 10.5.8 leopard is showing-Connection time out while connecting to the wifi.however it showing all available wifi connections around but not connecting it..however ethernet is working

Problem while connecting with Wi-Fi,
When i am connecting my powerbook g4 leopard to any Wi-fi connection it showing -Connection time out, however Ethernet is working .I have updated all softwares but still same problem.

It's possible that either the internal AirPort Extreme card or the antenna is faulty or has failed.
One last thing to try before going with another Wi-Fi solutions is to the following:
Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)
3. Run the Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions.
Restart or log out then back in.
4. Turn off the Mac OS X Firewall
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
Click the "Stop" button.
5. Create a New User Account
System Preferences > Accounts
Click "+" to add a new account
Log off, then log back on with the new user account.
Try connecting with the AirPort.
If none of these help resolve the issue, you may want to consider getting a USB wireless adapter to replace both the internal card and antenna. One such vendor of these adapters is Other World Computing (OWC).

Connection refused error while connecting to port.

Hello,
I have a service (Connect Direct) listening at port 1364 in server X.
$ netstat -an | grep 1364
11.22.33.44.1364 *.* 0 0 0 0 LISTEN
(Assume 11.22.33.44 = Server X's IP.)
Now, when another server (say Y) tries to use this service in server X, it is getting "Connection Refused" error. I tried telneting.
From Y:
telnet 11.22.33.44 23 is working
telnet 11.22.33.44 1364 is giving the same Connection Refused error.
telnet 11.22.33.44 1364
Trying 11.22.33.44...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
/usr/sbin/ping 11.22.33.44
11.22.33.44 is alive
To complicate things, 11.22.33.44 is not the original IP of server X.
ifconfig -a gives:
hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 11.22.33.55 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 11.22.33.255
hme0:1: flags=843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 11.22.33.44 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 11.22.33.255
(in additional to a couple of other IPs).
What could be the problem?
Help!!!!

IPF firewalling could cause this, if you have it enabled.
I havent used it, so I'm not entirely sure how to check.
Of another firewall if its between the 2 machines. Are they on the same subnet?

Connecting Insignia Blue Ray Player to Home Wireless Network

OK, I am having problems connecting my Insignia Blue Ray Player to my home wireless network. Under network settings I was able to connect to the network, but it can't seem to acquire an IP address. All the other devices connected to the network are working. I'm not very proficient at this obviously, but does anyone have any thoughts?

If there is a configuration option on the BD player, set it to auto.

Problems connecting a Satellite Pro 4600 to home wireless network

Hi,
My desktop pc has an Athlon 64x2 4200+ processor and 2 GB of RAM, with XP2 Pro. I have a Linksys WRT54GS Broadband Router and am connected with Virgin Media.
My daughter has given me an old laptop, a Satellite Pro 4600 with a Celeron 747MHz Processor, 384MB of RAM and XP2 Pro it has an Intel Pro/100 VE Network adaptor. I have fitted a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adaptor with SRX (Model No WPC45GX), so that I can use it around the house. However when I try to connect to the home network, although it "finds" a list of networks, I am unable to connect, and get an error message - "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network (my home network). The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available
networks, and try again."
I have tried connecting with the laptop in the same room as the router, but get the same message. In Device Manager, under Network adaptors, both are shown, and both are working correctly, but in the taskbar there is a red cross shown on both icons, one says that a network cable is unpluged,but I don't have a network cable fitted.
The other tells me that the wireless is not connected.
I presume that the adaptor is working as it can "see" wireless networks, plus I have used Lynksys support to check that all the settings on both Router and Adaptor are correct.
My wife has a new laptop and is able to connect to the home network without any problem.
Please can anyone offer any advice or assistance.

Hm,
for some reason you should disable your wired (cable) network connection and use the client from the PCMCIA wireless network card. Maybe its just the problem that your system cannot separate between both network connections and gets some error. You should also go to the Linksys website and download the latest driver and client for the card, so you can make sure that software is up-to-date.
Another good idea would be to visit www.microsoft.com and check the support center for any "Knowledgebase documents" which could probably solve the problem.
Since your machine is really old and no-one uses PCMCIA cards anymore, you will maybe wait some long time for an answer in this forum. Maybe you should check the linksys site for some support section. Perhaps they could help you..
