Orange Business Everywhere on Fujitsu LifeBook S760

Posted by gilles on April 29, 2011

I just got my brand new laptop : a Fujitsu LifeBook S760, with built-in 3G and running seven 64 bits. I was impatient to try 3G, but unfortunatly, Orange Business Everywhere does not support this platform :-( Fortunatly, i was able to play by using an opensource and free IPSec client :-D here are the details : First, i need to establish a 3G connexion. This is a slam dunk thanks to the OneClick Internet tool that comes with the laptop. Configuration is trivial :

  • APN : transpac.net
  • USER : useX@my.company
  • PASSWORD : whatever …

Just click on Connect, and here we are : connected to the internet via the 3G card : </code> $ ipconfig Configuration IP de Windows

Carte PPP OneClick Internet :

Suffixe DNS propre à la connexion. . . : Adresse IPv4. . . . . . . . . . . . . .: a.b.c.d Masque de sous-réseau. . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255 Passerelle par défaut. . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0 </code>

We are given an IP address but so far, we are just able to establish an IPSec VPN to the company.

I downloaded the ShrewSoft VPN Client

A few triks are needed to get some parameters for the connection, they are documented here. You need to get :

  • the IP address for WIFI
  • the IP address for VPNIPSec
  • the IP address for GPRS /* we use this one to connect from the 3G card */
  • the private shared key (PSK)

Here is a shrew config file i use : save it as a .vpn text file, change what has to be changed, and import it :

n:version:2 n:network-ike-port:500 n:network-mtu-size:1380 n:client-addr-auto:0 n:network-natt-port:4500 n:network-natt-rate:15 n:network-frag-size:540 n:network-dpd-enable:1 n:client-banner-enable:0 n:network-notify-enable:1 n:client-wins-used:0 n:client-wins-auto:1 n:client-dns-used:0 n:client-dns-auto:0 n:client-splitdns-used:0 n:client-splitdns-auto:0 n:phase1-dhgroup:1 n:phase1-life-secs:86400 n:phase1-life-kbytes:0 n:vendor-chkpt-enable:1 n:phase2-life-secs:3600 n:phase2-life-kbytes:0 n:policy-nailed:1 n:policy-list-auto:1 s:network-host: s:client-auto-mode:pull s:client-iface:virtual s:client-ip-addr: s:client-ip-mask: s:network-natt-mode:enable s:network-frag-mode:enable s:auth-method:mutual-psk-xauth s:ident-client-type:address s:ident-server-type:address b:auth-mutual-psk: s:phase1-exchange:main s:phase1-cipher:3des s:phase1-hash:md5 s:phase2-transform:esp-3des s:phase2-hmac:md5 s:ipcomp-transform:disabled n:phase2-pfsgroup:2 s:policy-level:auto </code>

The PSK is stored obfuscated, it is necessary to edit the VPN config inside ShrewSoft Access Manager to change it. I was not able to retrieve automatically the private IP address/netmask, so i had to put this information in the configuration.

Then click on Connect, enter your user/password as provided by orange : userX@my.company/yourpassword

and now, enjoy 3G … but do not forget to disconnect from OneClick Internet to stop billing !
