Hi Andrew,

I tried to use IPSec Dual Access and SSL Dual Access, in both cases the connection didn’t work.
I will give it a try with a direct cellular connection.

Thanks,
Tobi

Tobias,

I haven’t seen that myself. I know there are a few options within the AT&T client for tweaking how it makes the connection (e.g. whether it uses IPSec or not): have you tried experimenting with those?

Thanks,
Andrew.

Hey Andrew,
i’m interested in your experience with the AT&T Network Client and Vodafone Mobile Connect.

I have a big problem with my AT&T or VMC.
Every time when i’m connected to the Internet via Vodafone Mobile Connect i can’t connect to the corporate’s intranet via AT&T. It always stopps while “Authenticating with VPN….”. AT&T disconnects and the internet connection is shutting down.

Do you have any idea?

Best regards!

Tobi

Gerhard, well, I don’t have a PIN, so I don’t get that prompt. I’m not surprised it happens the same on other networks though. Unfortunately, it looks like once you’ve selected that ‘Device’, you can’t unselect it.

Same thing with Vodafone (A1) here in Austria. Always close ATT before connecting with the Vodafone tools. Actually ATT will continue to ask you for your PIN code of the SIM card so it’s pretty obvious in that case
