    Default Managing multiple VPN Servers on WM2003

    Hi,

    I've successfully setup ActiveSync over WiFi on my home network using VPN. Now I want to do the same for my work network.

    I've got 2 entries in my Edit my VPN Servers window, one is labeled Home and the other Work. In the Connectivity window that comes up when you tap on the icon to the right of the Volume icon on the top bar, I see the Home VPN and the Connect VPN link.

    When its set to Home VPN, I can tap Connect VPN and it connects just fine. However, when I select Work VPN in the Edit my VPN Servers window, I still get the Home VPN in the Connectivity window and of course it connects to my Home VPN server.

    If I delete the Home VPN entry, I can get the Work VPN in the Connectivity window and it will connect just fine. But when I re-add Home VPN, it will have the same problem.

    How do I make it so the Work VPN comes up in Connectivity window when it's selected in Edit my VPN Servers?

    Lightbulb Once you create...

    ...and select the work VPN do you tap the ok button at the top right repeatedly until you back out of the Connection Manager and see an X at the top right? Make sure you do that and then do a soft reset to make sure the changes take effect.

    When you select the Vpn you want make sure you hit the ok button on all the network screens. I've had this problem before and found that you need to exit all the menus before setting takes effect. It would nice to have all the cobnections listed in the main windoow instead of going through all of those screens. I connect to 5 different vpns and boy is it a pain when you have too change them all the time.

    Thumbs down Nothing...

    ...and I do mean nothing is easy or logical when it comes to the Connection Manager...

    It was the Soft-Reset, after that it works perfectly! Thank you all
