Hi,
One thing to check -
On activesync on your PC select options - rules , make sure you have selected your internet connection in the connection drop down.
I dont remember having to change any settings on the device ...

Hi Tony,
I definitely didn't set up a proxy server on my XDAII, so I'm pretty sure its not that.
Have you got a connection set up to use the GPRS connection on your XDA - under start - settings - connections tab - connections . I have a connection called 'My ISP' , which when I click on 'manage existing connections' has the modem set to use a GPRS connection. Again I don't remember setting this up, so it may be something O2 install from the rom. Try a reset and see if it picks anything up.
One thing I would suggest you do get when you are using GPRS is some sort of traffic monitor. I use Spb GPRS monitor (via Handango) and its well worth a tenner.
Hope this helps
Hi i just got my XDA2 today and I too can not get onto Internet through Activesync and pc just tries to call up on gprs
I have tried the above suggestion still no luck
Can any one help
I can connect to the Internet from my XDA II via the ActiveSync connection on my desktop PC. The connection was configured automatically by the XDA II when I first synchronized it with the desktop PC. The XDA II even automatically configured the proxy server setting to the one I use at the office.
Go to Start->Settings, select the Connections tab and click on Connections. On the Connections window, there should be two connections listed on the Tasks tab. Select the Advanced tab and click on the Select Networks button. On the Network Management window, the first drop-down list should have your GPRS connection selected and the second drop-down list should have your ActiveSync connection (My Work Network) selected.
Thanks Jargon got mine working now

Just follow the same directions I have already given. But instead of selecting the missing "My Work Network" connection, create a new one by pressing the "New..." button below the second drop-down list. Name it "My Work Network". Then select the "Proxy Settings" tab and check the "This network connects to the Internet" checkbox. Click on "OK" to close the window.

Has anybody had any success with getting MMS to work with a virginmobile payasyougo Sim card
I have got normal internet browsing working but cannot get MMS to work
Spoke to virgin and they have given me the following settings

IP 193.30.166.1
IP Port 9201
APN goto.virginmobile.uk
Login ID user
Password Leave blank
Bearer GPRS
I have entered some of these settings into the Connection that MMS seems to be using but I dont know where to put in the
IP Port and Server URL
Can any one help
Thanks
I don't know which version of windows your using as the MMS composer is different in WM2003SE. I can tell you how I got mine working and its a 2 stage process:
Part 1
1. Create a new connection by coing to Start->Settings->Connections and tap on the Connections icon.
2. Tap on the "Advanced" tab and then tap on the "Select Networks" button.
3. Tap on the lower one of the two "New..." buttons, i.e. the one below the "My Work Network" drop down menu.
4.0 On the "General" tab, enter a name of "Virgin MMS".
4.1 On the "Modem" tab, tap on the "New..." button.
4.3 Enter a name for the connection of "Virgin MMS", select a modem type of "Cellular Line (GPRS)" and then tap on the "Next" button.
4.4 Enter an access point name of "goto.virginmobile.uk" and then tap on the "Next" key.
4.5 Enter a user name of "user", ensure that all other fields are empty and then tap on the "Finish" button.
4.6 On the "Proxy Settings" tab, ensure that the "This network connects to the Internet" is NOT ticked" and then tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4.7 In the drop down menu for "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:", change this back to "My Work Network" (or whatever was in this field before you started this process).
5. You can now exit from the Settings screens as Part 1 is complete.
Part 2
1. You need to go into MMS composer.
2. In WM2003SE you need to go into the "Tools->MMS Settings" option.
3.0 On the "Preferences" tab, in the "Connect via:" option, enter/select "Virgin MMS".
3.1 On the "Servers" tab, tap on the "New" button.
3.2 Enter a "Server name:" of "Picture Message"
3.3 Enter a "Gateway:" of "193.30.166.1".
3.4 Enter a "Port number:" of "9201". Don't worry if you don't have a "Port number:" field as the system will default to this anyway.
3.5 Enter a "Server address" of "http://mms.virginmobile.co.uk:8002" and then tap on the "OK" button.
3.6 Tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
That's the end of the two stages and you should now be able to send picture and video messages (I've tried both).
Two things to be aware of:
1. The send/receive does seem to take ages.
2. Don't try to send pictures which aren't JPG or BMP as they won't go and you end up thinking that there's a problem with your config. I speak from experience here.
GPRS settings on Vorgin?
Slightly Off topic but I'm trying to Use my xda 1 with virgin and am trying to get the GPRS set up and am struggling, is it essentially the same settings as these?
Many thanks
Nate :?:
The GPRS setting for internet access only involves 1 stage in order to set it up. It's almost exactly the same as the first part of MMS:
1. Create a new connection by going to Start->Settings->Connections and tap on the Connections icon.
2. Tap on the "Advanced" tab and then tap on the "Select Networks" button.
3. Tap on the upper one of the two "New..." buttons, i.e. the one usually below the "My ISP" drop down menu.
4.0 On the "General" tab, enter a name of "Virgin GPRS".
4.1 On the "Modem" tab, tap on the "New..." button.
4.3 Enter a name for the connection of "Virgin GPRS", select a modem type of "Cellular Line (GPRS)" and then tap on the "Next" button.
4.4 Enter an access point name of "goto.virginmobile.uk" and then tap on the "Next" key.
4.5 Enter a user name of "user", ensure that all other fields are empty and then tap on the "Finish" button.
4.6 On the "Proxy Settings" tab, ensure that the "This network connects to the Internet" is ticked and then tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4.7 In the drop down menu for "Programs that automatically connect to Internet should connect using:", ensure that the "Virgin GPRS" entry is displayed.
5. You can now exit from the Settings screens as your connection set up is now complete. You shouldn't have to do any other config work to use the internet.
Ensure that when you try this connection that you don't have your XDA docked in its cradle or you won't be connecting via GPRS.
Happy surfing.
Thanks mate, thats done it. I have tried almost exactly that and didn't get it quiteright.
Appreciate the help.
Virgin MMS
Have entered this setup info into xda2 But it still wont connect and returns the following message
Dialed:gotovirginmobile.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To
check your connection settings and change
them if needed, tap Settings. If the
problem continues, reset your mobile device
according to your manufactures documentaion
and try again
Help
Thanks
If the above text is exactly what appears on your screen then your problem is easily fixed. It looks like your missing a full stop, i.e. "gotovirginmobile.uk" should be "goto.virginmobile.uk". This is the value you entered in step 4.4 of Part 1.
I tried removing the full stop on my M1000 and I got exactly the same error reported so this should hopefully sort the problem.
Virgin MMS
Sorry my mistake I had put goto.virginmobile.uk in at step 4.4
but omitted it from my previous post
Should the connection for MMS use the same one that internet explorer uses, that one uses one called MOBILE WEB GPRS that appears to have the same setup. Browsing on the internet works OK

Hi all,
When using Windows Mobile 5.0 with ActiveSync (4.2 or 4.5) the connected Universal (and other WM devices) uses the broadband internet connection from the PC.
With Windows Mobile 6.0 and ActiveSync 4.5 the PDA is not using the internet connection from the PC.
I don't know if this setting has anything to do with it, but checking/unchecking the ActiveSync connections option: Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop doesn't change anything.
Is this a setting issue or is Windows Mobile 6.0 lacking this functionality?
Thanks!!
Well, mine works ok.... definitely working through my pc's network connection (turned flight mode on to be certain).

I'm too. I can't update any software for my Exec from My PC. Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still no luck
Updated to ActiveSync 4.5 beta 2 and still no PC broadband internet on the Universal when connected.
Didn't try in flight mode yet.
Maybe this has something to do with the fact that Live Messenger also wants to connect by GPRS/3G only?
Is this some major issue or is it just me? I'm running the CB PDAVIET 2.00.04 PV PRO.
From Where I Can Download It ?

I just had the same problem. Here's how I solved it:
On the WM device, go to Start-->Settings and choose the "Connections" tab.
Click the "Connections" icon.
Under the "Office settings", click "setup a proxy server" and mark the first checkbox ("This network is connected to the internet" or something similar) but DO NOT check the second one.
In ActiveSync, under "Connection settings", choose to specify that "This computer is connected to the internet", and confirm.
From what I understood, this process is not... fully deterministic. By taking a look again to the Connections settings on my WM6 device, I see that the checkbox I selected is now unchecked again. Still, the internet connection works.
I hope that this can help.

Cannot connect to Internet via Activesync
Dear all,
I have a tytn II on activesync 4.5, I experience limited internet connectivity when cradled:
1. Able to access Avantgo server
2. Able to download weather for SPB traveler
BUT cannot:
1. Access Internet through Pocket IE - the device will go into 3.5G/GPRS/HSPDA to access
2. Cannot download weather info through the HTC plugin (Accuweather)
I did not experience any of this problem with the dopod838pro (on activesync 4.5 also). I wonder if this is related to the tytn II settings?
Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi all,
Since yesterday, I have to same problem as described above...
Anyone already has a solution for this??
Thanks,

I found this solution on http://www.mobilitysite.com/boards/activesync/137666-fix-unknown-error-0x80072f78.html
Okay, so I've shagged my internet settings completely. I now can't connect to the internet at all, despite having a good strength 3G connection.
Could someone help me restore my internet settings? I know it's a bit of a vague question, but I don't know where the problem lies.
I've already tried the "automatically configure connection", and it unfortunately didn't help (after disconnect/reconnect and also after a reset).
Please help me - I feel naked without the internet in my pocket! lol
Cheers,
John.
Original post:
Could someone do me a favour?
I need someone with a Touch HD, from Orange (in the UK), to go to the following screen...
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks
...and tell me what "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using".
I'd really appreciate it, as I believe mine was set to something that now doesn't work, but one of the others does!!!
Thanks in advance,
John.
Mine is set to Orange Internet
Post deleted, because I've made things worse
To get the same settings as mine, try the following:
Tap Start
Tap Settings
Tap the Connections tab
Tap Connections
Tap the Advanced tab
Tap Select Networks
In the first drop down-box select Orange Internet
Tap Edit (if Orange Internet isn't listed tap new)
Select Orange Internet
Tap Edit
Data settings
Enter Orange Internet for the name
Select Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G) from the modem list
Tap Next
Enter orangeinternet in the access point name
Tap Next
Leave the 'Username', 'Password' and 'Domain' blank
Tap Finish
Tap the Proxy Settings tab
Tick 'This network connects to the Internet'
Un-tick 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet'
Tap ok three times
Tap X
Hope that helps,
JB
Very much appreciated John Boy, but that's exactly what I had. There must have been something wrong elsewhere.
I use the past-tense, as I've just flashed my phone with the newest version of wm6.5 (I favour miri as my custom rom), and that's solved all my problems.
I pretty much expected that I'd need to hard reset to solve this problem, but it'll probably help others in future, having that list of settings and info.
Thanks again mate - much appreciated.

My device is simple smart-phone with windows mobile 6.1 professional operating system. I have a problem with the connection manager and proxy servers. Let me explain my problem.
My application needs to get some date from the Internet. I use for that GRPS connection. But I need to specific WAP connection with PROXY. Below I put all steps which I do to make that kind of connection.
1. "Start" -> "Settings" -> "Connections"
2. Click the "Connections" icon.
3. Click the "Advanced" tab.
4. Push the "Select Networks" button.
5. Push the first from the top "New" button.
6. Enter a name for new connection (for example "mywap").
7. Push the "Modem" tab.
8. Push the "New" button.
9. Enter a name fro the connection (for example "mywapcon").
10. Access point name (for my operator is "wap").
11. Click the "Next" button.
12. Enter a user and password (both "wap").
13. Click the "Finish" button.
14. Click the "Proxy settings" tab.
16. Check the "This network connects to the Internet" box.
17. Check the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" box.
18. Click the "Advanced..." button.
19. Click the "HTTP" item on the list.
20. Enter the "Server" host (for example "proxy.host.eu") and "Port" number (for example "8080").
21. Click "ok" button.
Now, I have a new connection which I can use in my application to connect to the WAP Internet with proxy. Below I put the steps which I make to request for my application about proxy and connection.
1. To get a GUID to my new connection I use the "ConnMgrEnumDestinations" method.
2. This GUID I use to make a request to the connection manager. I use for that the "ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync" method. When the connection occurs the method above returns the handler to the my connection.
3. Now, I try to check about proxy servers to my connection. I'm using for that the "ConnMgrProviderMessage" method and a returned hander.
I read about that a lot of articles but it still don't work correctly. When I call the "ConnMgrProviderMessage" in the step 3, the operating system returns my the "E_NOINTERFACE" error. I don't know why because I defined the proxy server for this GUID connection.
Did you have that kind of problems in your applications ?? Can you help me ??
