ARCHIVED: At IU, with a Windows Mobile or Pocket PC device, why can't I browse the web using Pocket Internet Explorer?
With default settings, Pocket Internet Explorer cannot load most web
pages over a VPN connection. Pocket Internet Explorer will
only use the VPN connection when making HTTP requests
within the VPN server's own domain, which at Indiana
University is indiana.edu
or iupui.edu
. When
requesting a web page outside the VPN server's domain (i.e., outside
of indiana.edu
or iupui.edu
), Pocket
Internet Explorer tries to bypass the VPN connection, causing the
request to fail.
For Pocket PC 2002 and earlier, you need to install a third-party browser such as NetFront or ThunderHawk to browse the web while using a VPN connection.
For Windows Mobile 2003 and later, you can enter *.*
(asterisk, period, asterisk) into the Intranet exceptions dialog box.
