My Mobile Provider let subscribers access internet via GPRS with proxy and it seems that only traffic via port 80 gets through.
Is there anyone here know a messenger client that can communicate with server via this proxy port like PC version does?
Your help is appreciated.

I would like to config my ppc to get online thru my office's internet.
But sadly, my office is using proxy server, a VPN, plus I'm on a domain.
On my ppc, I had applied all the necessary settings on proxy namely
proxy address and port number, and VPN such as site IP, user name and password for our Check point VPN.
On my desktop, the setting is set on The Internet but still failed.
Would it be the fact that I was connected as a "guest" during ActiveSync?
Can anyone shine some light on me please.

You will probably need to download MovianVPN ($99.95) for use with firewalls other then Microsoft's, which is all the VPN client included with WM2003 supports.
Does anyone know of a software that allows you to connect to MSN Messenger using HTTP Proxy? MSN Messenger that comes with the operating system only connects either directly or thru a SOCKS proxy. Agile Messenger doesn't support HTTP Proxy either.
This feature could be useful in firewalled environments and also with subscribers of WAP-only service :wink:
Pocket MSN (MSN Messanger and Hotmail) only works with a direct connection the internet.
Does anybody know how to tweak it such as way (via registry setting etc) so that it can connect via the proxied internet connection.
The regular desktop MSN Messanger has the option in the app setting to allow it to work via a HTTP proxy server.
The reason I'm asking for this is that, some of us here in this forum, use the cheap GPRS service here in the US that only connects us to the internet via a HTTP proxy. We have web browsing and pop3 working, but not the MSN messanger and hotmail.
Thanks in advance for anybody that will provide some clue.

You must use a SOCKS-capable proxy. That is, not just a simple HTTP proxy. Also see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?s=SOCKS+messenger&sentence=AND - in there, I've also elaborated on this problem.
I understand this. However, the data service we use (T-Mobile USA t-zones) does not support SOCKS. We only have HTTP proxy and WAP proxy support.
Using the same data service from my laptop (with my PPC as the wireless modem), I could run MSN Messanger from my laptop (by using the HTTP proxy).
The Pocket MSN however, does not work. I would believe there is some way to tweak it to recognize the HTTP proxy as well.
Certain carriers, including mine, restricts GPRS and forces us to use a HTTP proxy.
Windows Media Live does not support HTTP proxy, only socks proxy. I already have a SSH tunnel setup on my TyTN, but the tunnel gets disconnected every now and then, making staying connected to MSN unreliable.
I know when I used to have a Symbian60 device, there were some clients that worked through the HTTP proxy of my carrier, but either they were java based (dont want java!) or it doesnt exist for WM6.
I wonder if anyone has a MSN client that they use through the HTTP proxy of their carrier.
Thanks!
My carrier is Cricket (CDMA) and they also force us to use an http proxy.
Were you able to find an MSN Messenger (or AIM) client that will work through an http proxy?
Thanks

I am trying to force web traffic over a SSL VPN (CheckPoint SecureClient Mobile) through an internal proxy server but am not having any success. Has anyone done anything similar to this before?
From the mobile itself I am able to telnet to the proxy on the desired port once the VPN has been established but Pocket IE keeps popping up the error:
Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings tap Settings.
I've definied the proxy in the Work Network profile and set that profile to be used for both Programs that connect automatically to the Internet... and to a private network......
If I change the setting Programs that connect automatically to the Internet.... back to My ISP then Pocket IE goes directly to Internet
Any ideas on how to make PIE realise that it is connected to a VPN and attempt to use the proxy?
Thanks

User Opera.. I never had an issue with a pretty similar setup.
