We NEED L2TP support on the Playbook VPN client!

The Playbook will never be useful for our company if it doesn't support a VPN client that uses "Layer Two Tunneling Protocol(L2TP)".
We use a standard Microsoft VPN server, configured with "MS-CHAP V2", but we like to use L2TP because it is more secure than PPTP.
When will RIM support this on the Playbook?
I love it when things don't work the way they are supposed to, because then I get to fix them.

I would add a request for L2TP over IPSec. Our institution has over 25000 users and VPN access is important. Android 3.x supports it. Would expect the same from OS v2.0.
Thanks

  • RIM needs to look at the Playbook registration process and followon support

    First, this post is NOT about the pros/cons of the Playbook.
    Second, it is NOT about the quality of support I received, which was very good.
    It's about the Playbook registration and the need for support during or right after that initial registration, as I experienced yesterday.  It's a it of a story, but necessary to understand what I went through.
    I have a PB-32 I setup last December, and did not need help during the registration.  That PB was to goto my wife as I also have an HP Touchpad.  Then the 64gb PB went on sale and it was too good to pass up.  The 64 was going to my wife and I would get the 32 after setup and transfer of her stuff, some of that process is the subject of other posts.
    During the IPL of the 64 where it asked for Country, I ran into communications problems and RIM's page would not load.  Others had the same problem, so I believe the site went down for a short while, as it came back an hour later.  When that cleared, it asked for the usual info, specifically my Email address.  So, since I wanted to put her 64 on her account, and later CHANGE the 32's email to mine, I re-registered her as a new account.
    Couldn't do it.  Duplicate account exists.  So I called general customer support too find out how to change the email registration for the 32 from the wife's to me, so I could register the 64 to her.  The automated help line wanted the serial # before anything else.  But the s/n on the 64 beside the USB/HDMI ports is unreadable small, and it wasn't up to see it on screen.  So, in desperation, I keyed in the 32 s/n.  That worked. 
    Now she could help, but not! 
    News Flash.  YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR INITIAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION. Anytime ever, for any reason.
    The only way to re-register the PB is to first do a security wipe and start over.  Yeah, right.  The thing is, the old registration remains in the system, and will not allow you to register another PB as a new registration using the same Email account.
    The second dumbest thing I ever heard.  If you sell your PB after a wipe, you will not be able to register a new PB with your same email account.  If you change ISP and get a new email account, you can't change your PB registration to it either.  I ended up registering the 64 to me, and leaving the 32 registered to the wife, not quite right, but acceptable.
    IPL of the 64 took over 2 hours!!!!
    Next, the 64 kept dropping the WIFI every minute or so for 2 - 3 minutes.  The 32 and Touchpad sitting beside it kept motoring on.  The WIFI signal strength on the 64 was low, about -87 to -93db, the 32 was about 5 to 10db better, so maybe there's a hardware problem.  So I called support again, but this time the 90 day support line.  This time I had the 64's s/n so I entered it in prior to getting a human contact.  First thing asked for.... the serial number.  So why key it in in the first place?  Then my name.  OK, but he could not find my registration info. 
    Well maybe it takes over an hour for RIM to post the data, but no, the INITIAL REGISTRATION DOES NOT TRANSFER TO THE 90 DAY SUPPORT DATABASE.  Ya gotta register for it separately.  Third dumbest thing.
    Sensing a bit of desperation in my voice, he offered to register me over the phone, otherwise I got to do it online.
    So we continued... next question "What city do you live in?"  Toronto, Ontario. 
    "What country is that in?"  Keep in mind RIM is a Canadian company in Kitchener Ontario, about a 2 hour drive from Toronto.  My question to him was "What country are you in?"  The reply.... "Central America."  Yes he had a bit of accent but that's not unusual in this country.  You would think that part of the RIM support staff orientation training would include a bit of Canadian and world geography.
    Finally the registration is done, but not quite.  The system will send me a confirmation email, to which I need to respond before we can continue.  Five minutes later, the email is there, and I respond.  First thing the confirmation page asks for.... My email address.  OK back to the support guy.
    Can't find my registration.  We waited about 10 minutes and finally, he asked, "what is the problem?"  No, my reg did not come up on his screen.  I explain the dropout problem, but at that time it was up and running.  The fix was to delete all my WIFI profiles (just the 1 here) and reset the PB.  Then connect and save the WIFI profile.  That did seem to help, as the 64 stayed connected for over an hour before it dropped out for a minute.  I'm going to get a new and better WIFI router.  I was on the phone for an hour and 10 minutes this time, of which, only 15 minutes was problem definition and solution.
    I'm not going to pontificate what RIM needs to do to, but it needs to do something about a user changing his registration data after the fact and needing only the initial registration data to qualify for the 90 days support.  And it needs to transfer that registration to the support line real fast, as the IPL and immediate setup are potentially the most problematic.
    Oh, and make the serial number large enough to be seen by a 67 yo with glasses.

    Agree it is a pain in the but I know that you can use the same bbid on 2 playbooks.

  • Android support on the Playbook

    The new OS upgrade is supposed to add Androd support, but how does one actually access the Android apps?

    Andriod app are seemless in appworld, some do show a andriod banner on bottom when you swipe from bottom
    You can sideload a lot of apps too, but there is no way to get to gogle play on the playbook to install apps from it
    There are tons of android app in in app world now, some even say android in their title.

  • Need two forks to the Playbook OS

    I sure wish there were two forks to the Playbook OS. One with the Android player and one without. I'm tired of getting tricked into downloading an Android app from App World. I want my Playbook without this feature or at least a way to prevent Android apps from loading.

  • PlayBook VPN Setup - PPTP or L2TP working, possible, or being worked on?

    I've been trying to get a VPN service set up on my PlayBook without success. Most commercial VPNs offer PPTP or L2TP protocols, neither of which is obviously supported on the PlayBook. Has anyone got either working? Do we know if RIM is working on getting them to be able to work with a future softwarre update?? The iPad seems to support these so it would behoove RIM to provide such suppport.

    I don't think they are working on it, honestly. If you search the interwebs, you will find hundreds of posts of people asking for this feature ever since the playbook got released.
    The way I see it is that the only way it will ever make it into the playbook is if you emailed Thorston Heins directly and get him to force the moron who made the decision to leave it out of the playbook to put it back in.

  • I want to buy an hp m1536 laserjet for my ipad printing, I believe the printer is not wireless but has sprint. Is the print job going through my wireless router and does that router need to support AirPrint.

    I want to buy an hp m1536 laserjet for my ipad printing, I believe the printer is not wireless but has sprint. Is the print job going through my wireless router and does that router need to support AirPrint.

    The following model is airprint compatible, is this the one you have?
    HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf MFP
    If not the "dnf MFP" model, then no.
    The router needs to support the Bonjour protocol.  If not, the airprint won't work.

  • Yet another Playbook VPN issue

    I have a client that needs to upgrade their router. Since they now have the Playbook can anyone suggest a router, preferably wireless, that will work with the Playbook VPN connectivity? Recent discussion with Cisco states that none of the Small Business series routers will work as they only support the QuickVPN client on Windows environment.
    Thank you

  • The Playbook great hardware and os made useless by RIM

    This is me ranting as I spent £400 on a blackberry playbook great hardware and os is impressive but you cannot do  much on it becasue:
    To this day the Native SDK is not available.
    RIM them seleves have mentioned that they need more apps for the playbook and when IM+ requested approval of their app they are still waiting now close to 3 months.
    EA Games are laughing at you, they have developed many games for apple and only three for playbook.
    You guys at RIM should be sacked and get people that can do their jobs.
    And why are you not clear if the Playbook has GPS, yes or no simple answer.
    I used to be a huge Blackberry fan, but I think that they are going down. I cannot recommend this product to anyone which makes me feel like a fool for buying it myselve.
    Regards
    Tahid (personal content removed)
    RIM please sack people in your company for there incompentancies. 

    grissom, are you saying that RIM is still supporting the Playbook?  I had no idea!
    Well, I missed out on Betamax.  No one in my family ever owned a Tucker. But I'll be able to tell my grandchildren that I once owned a Playbook...

  • Tethering via USB between the Z10 and a laptop or PC & and few Comments About the Playbook Tethering

    Tethering via USB between the Z10 and a laptop or PC can be a bit tricky.
    On the Z10 do the following:
    On the Z10 go to the Settings.
    Go to Network Connections.
    Go to Internet Tethering.
    Select USB.
    Turn on Tethering.
    On the computer run the Blackberry Link software for the Z10:
    Once the software starts, connect the Z10 via the USB cable to the PC.
    Open the browser.
    You should now be able to cruise the net, and do emails.
    With the Playbook, the Bluetooth tethering does not yet work. This may be an OS or communications issue.
    The best way to tether the Playbook for full speed and functions is using the WiFi option. Simply turn on the WiFi hot spot option and follow the instructions. The Playbook WiFi must also be properly set up. The Z10 USB and Bluetooth tethering mode must be turned off when using the WiFi mode. You can leave the base Bluetooth active on the Z10. There is a lot of available information about using the WiFi hot spot from the Z10. The process is very similar to the past models of Blackberry phones.
    If you use the Bridge mode to tether, the Playbook email client software does not work very well. The browser will work fairly well, but slower with the Bridge mode. With WiFi the Playbook can brows at very high speed. With Bluetooth it is restricted to about 1.5 to 2.5 mb/sec. Take care that the WiFi mode burns through battery time very fast on both the Playbook and the Z10. Using the Bridge mode uses less power consumption than WiFi.
    To use the Bridge mode, make sure the Playbook and the Z10 are first Bluetooth mated. Also the Bridge mode has to be set up between the devices. You will have to first install the Bridge software in to the phone for this to work.
    I did extensive testing between the Z10 and the Playbook. They function well together as far as Internet and email are concerned, in consideration of using either tether or Bridge, depending on what you want to do.
    From what I understand the Bridge mode uses some compression. It will not be as fast as using WiFi or Bluetooth tethering. The data cost using the Bridge mode is probably a bit lower because of the compression.
    As far as the Bridge phone options are concerned, these features are not yet available. From what I read in a number of articles there are going to soon be some updates coming out to fix this. The Bridge options are a big part of the tablet application with the Blackberry phone. This was the big original application point of this tablet, otherwise any generic tablet would do the job.
    Jerry G.

    From the look of this thread it appears that no one outside of Canada uses an OS 10 BB yet.  247 views and no comments or help ?  I'm sure I'm not the only BB user that uses Tether.  If BB doesn't care to help then this will just be another nail in the corporate coffin that has been projected.
    Maybe we need different forums for US users as the Canadians don't seem to have the same issues or cares.
    The whole idea of the app Tether is not to have to pay the outrageous tethering fees that US carriers charge and it has worked well for years.  But it can't work and won't work in the future without help from BB and the BB community.

  • Alternatives to the VPN client?

    Hello,
    We have been using the Cisco VPN client with our ASA's for years and it has been excellent, but what alternatives are out there now?  Basically most of our company uses laptops with mapped drives to servers, email and a few apps.  Is the Cisco client still the way to go or should we be thinking about using something else our ASA's offer?
    Thanks

    If you were comfortable with the IPSec-client in the past, the the AnyConnect will fit you needs as it is also a tunneling clinet for transparent network-access. All you need is the AnyConnect Essentials license. With that you can use the the same amount of concurent AnyConnect client connections as you are using now with the legacy client.

  • Why do we need Applet support?

    In another thread, I'm trying to work out a problem deploying
    WebHelp because the file webhelp.jar in RH 7 WebHelp output cannot
    be unzipped (or un-jarred).
    This file is used for applet support, according to the RH
    help topic on output files, when you select the DHTML > Applet
    > Pure HTML option when generating WebHelp.
    Yet, when I generate DHTML > Pure HTML (no applet), the
    identical jar file appears in the WebHelp output. There is a flag
    in the launch file and whskin_homepage.htm on whether applet
    support is on or off, depending on the setting. So when support is
    off, webhelp.jar is just an appendix.
    Aside from the myriad questions about how RH is handling
    this, and why this is coming up just now, I have a more basic
    question: When would a user need applet support in the absence of
    DHTML support? What WebHelp features would be broken or disabled?
    What browsers would this affect?
    Here's my suspicion: This code was invented for older IE
    browsers, or maybe old Netscape browsers. We still have a lot of
    browser-specific code in WebHelp that seems to be trying to satisfy
    IE 4 and 5, and Netscape 4 through 6.
    Unless I hear that any users in this century will be
    adversely affected, my inclination is to toss out the jar file
    altogether. On testing, I can't find anything broken in Firefox
    that wasn't broken before.
    Any ideas?
    Harvey

    Adobe is working on this and has asked me for more
    information.
    Among the points I sent to them, I find webhelp.jar
    apparently governs the display of Search and Index panes. Options
    are DHTML, applet support and pure HTML. Applet treatment is given
    to Navigator 4.1 through 4.5.
    The webhelp.jar file definitely is being corrupted in
    generating WebHelp. I can't explain why our IT code deployers are
    just now having trouble with it.
    And because it gets put into the WebHelp output directory
    regardless of the options selected in the single-source WebHelp
    layout, I can't begin to guess why no one else has had any problem.
    If anyone has a copy of Netscape 4.1 still lying around,
    please tell us how it displays Search and Index.
    Thanks.
    Harvey
