oops sorry i posted in the wrong forum...

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.

Internet Over Bluetooth Network

Hi,
I have wrote this wiki document and I wish someone gets his device connected to the "rest of the world" over a bluetooth connection.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=InternetOverBluetoothNetwork
FYI..
PS: Nice fiddling around..

Hi Subzero5
Great post , almost what I need .
I have the XDA11i and want to access the net via a blue tooth modem , which I plug directly into the wall socket . So far i have hit a big blank .
Any thoughts , can get the two devices linked but no further , cant get the XDA11i to tell the modem to dial ?
Regards

XDA <-bluetooth-> Mac <-internet ???

Hi from a newbie. I've just bought the TyTn11 and would like to use bluetooth to access my laptop's internet connection. Part 1 of your instructions were easy enough to follow but part 2 confused the hell out of me - not least because I don't have a Network Cards icon from Start > Settings > Conections >. The TyTn is running WM6 if that's any help. Any pointers would be greatfully accepted

it's
Start > Settings > Conections > connections > adcanced > select network
pick the item in the dropdownbox which is not called something like my isp or such
usualy the 2th item

Thanks Rudegar, I'll give it a try.

Hi,
I'm trying to get Internet over bluetooth working on my TyTN with WM6.
I've got bluetooth network access point configured on my Linux PC so part 1 is done.
In part 2 I've successfuly configured IP and DNS for Bluetooth PAN driver but I can't find the option "Join a personal network" in my bluetooth settings.
Actually I'm stuck in part 2 point 6 as there is no <u>Bluetooth Manager</u> link under bluetooth settings.
Any advice?

i just dont know what to do, help...

How about two pocket pc's?
I'd like to connect my bluetooth-enabled e800 through my hx4700,but there's no "connection sharing" that I can enable.Is it enabled automatically?

thankx mate for info but i have htc p3300 Start > Settings > Conections > connections > adcanced > select networkit show only ( 1 my work network)(2 my ISP)which i should connect????

Hi,
I can't find out how to access this on a HTC Touch (Elf). Can someone please help?
Thanks

SubZero,
I not sure if you're instructions are correct.
From you wiki page-
Part 2: Setting Up Your HTC:
1. Go to Start > Settings > Conections > Network Cards. This option doesn't exist!
2. Tap the adapter named Bletooth PAN User Driver. You will now see IP Address tab selected in the Settings.
3. Select Use server-assigned IP Address.
Could someone who has done it on thier HTC diamond please check this?
Thank You

that su*ks ...
If anyone know a third party tool allowing to do this

setting up advaced network selection.

i dont know if anyone can help me with this or i am just being thick and its allready possible to do, but i am having a horrible time with setting up my applications and using the internet.
I use quite a few applications that ask for either a network (Resco for acessing my files on my computer) and also the internet (mail, PIE etc).
i cant seem to strike a balance between these programs and the possible connections (Wi-fi / gprs), if i set up my internet connection as a proxy with the deatils for my acess point at home then i can get my files on my comp and acess to the internet. but as soon as i leave the bubble of my home then everything goes haywire.
is there a way to set up a hieracy and advanced rules for what connections to use for what programs and when? and possibly an option to ask before dialing a gprs connection?
any help would be great
thanks all

internet on the PPC at work and home

Hi,
I have a o2 xda neo.
I've been trying to get internet working at both home and work through different settings. After lots of problems, i've done a hard reset and will try again.
Perhaps you can help with the correct settings, as I do not understand this whole Activesync 'the internet' / 'My Work' etc network settings.
I have my neo sync'd to my work pc. Fine. And when I use 'work' on the connection setting, then the internet is also fine on my PPC. HOWEVER, it updates my 'my work' settings on the PPC with my works proxy server ip etc.
OK, i understand that makes it work ok....
But my problem comes next. I want to set my o2 GPRS settings up. And they should go under 'my work' and I need to enter the o2 server IP in there.
But I can't because my work settings are there!!?!?!
So, I have to chose, do i want to use only work settings or only gprs settings...
How can I have both?
- when at work, it has internet fine.
- and on the move, i can use GPRS fine?
A million thanks in advance!

maybe i'm to simple, but i only use Internet settings and don't use @work @all.
And it works fine everywhere, @home, @work, via GPRS and via WiFi. Have you tried this?
and why would you put your gprs setting under Work?

Extremely sorry no one has replied to your post with a solution yet, I maybe too late but I only joined this forum yesterday.
You want multiple Network settings with independent Proxy settings and IP, DNS etc right??
Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Tap connections >go to the "Advanced" Tab. Tap "Select Networks" Here you are given 2 Choices of Network settings you can use. Work Network and Internet (or ISP). You have your work settings saved on Work network so do not edit that. choose the other one and edit it to enter all your GPRS settings. and save as your gprs connection. Now if you want to add a third independent setting, from the select Networks tab, click on new and you can create a third Set of connection settings (for your home maybe). Your PPC can handle 2 simultaneous connection settings perfectly, ex. 1 for Pass through and 2 for GPRS. But each time you want to connect to a third or different setting, you just go to the "Advanced Tab"> select Networks> tap the pull down options menu and select the other connection set that you would like to use et voila it is that simple.

Help me shut off GPRS/Cell Data please

I just got a $600 bill for cell data charges and I can't seem to stop it! Hopefully someone can help...
Here's what I did in my testing tonight:
1. I went to:
Start | Settings | Connections | Advanced | Select Networks
and set both pull-downs to "My Work Network". Shouldn't this force all data connections to WiFi only? Neither is set to use the cell network.
2. I went to comm manager and ensured MS Direct Push and Data Connection are disabled.
I then take my phone into the basement where there is no cell signal and I then go to activesync and click SYNC. A warning popup window appears saying "There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in your registered home network."
So...activesync is STILL trying to use the GPRS network. What is going on? How can I stop use of GPRS???
Thanks

HI
well this is what you need I think, I use it and is great!! it call's nodata and is free
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/

Personally I use HD Tweak to disable my GPRS settings so that I can control when my device can and cannot connect.
You can find HD Tweak at http://montecristoff.webs.com/
You'll find that there are some other useful features in HD Tweak besides enabling/disabling data connections too.

your problem is that Activesync is set, by default, to sync on a regulsr basis.
you need to set up a dummy exchange account and then you can get into the AS scheduler nd set it to 'manual'

...or, alternatively, go to ActiveSync -> Menu -> Scheduling -> Set both options to 'Manually'. It won't try to connect GPRS/EDGE any more until you explictly want to do it.

Or you can set in your gprs connection profile that you need a password, then it will show a connection box every time, so you can tell it, if you want to connect or not.

I actually have an exchange account this the HD must sync to, but using WiFi only.
I don't understand why it is trying GPRS!? Should it only use available connections?
Something still doesn't make sense. The MoDaCo app does the same thing as HTC's Comm Manager I think so that may not be the answer. I don't want to mask the problem, just figure out why it is syncing this way.

Solved! To help others trying to disable GPRS as well, here is the solution:
Go to HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections
Export this “connections” key to undo your changes later.
Go inside every data connection and you’ll find a key “Enabled”.
This key has a value 0×1 (1), change this for every connection to 0×0 (0) for every connection you want to disable.

I could only get activesync to sync wireless with bluetooth? or by usb.can you fo it in your home network?

I'm syncing with an Exchange server - that works differently than syncing with a PC...
