Hello there,
just recieved my XDA mini S from O2 Germany and I'm quite happy with it. I was able to manage a connection to my mixed mode WEP secured acces point however I'm not able to surf with IE when connected to Wifi.
Can someone point me to a solution?
The Device says it is connected and also has a IP from my DHCP server
sincerely,
maui
Hello there,
I just found the error, there was a proxy setting in place which has to be used when connecting over GRPS with o2 Germany.
However this showed me another problem. Because I have a o2 WAP flatrate i use to surf over GPRS when no WiFi is available. Does someone know how i can configure that the proxy is only used when connecting over GPRS?
greetings,
maui
One thing I noticed on the QTek 9100 unit was that the wireless network card was set to use the "My Work" option whenever I had to reset the connections
Setting the Network card to use "The Internet" connection restored the Internet connectivity.
I just got my kjam today, about 5 hours ago, just took it off the charge like 4 hours ago and loving it so far. but my problem...:
I connect to my wireless router fine but my internet uses a proxy, so how do i set the proxy on pocket ie?(my isp requires i use a proxy to browse the net)
If i can't set a proxy on pocket ie, does netfront work with wm5 and does it support proxies?
ok, this i havent tested this but think its right:
On your wireless settings page (start/settings/connections/network cards/
Pick the wireless SSID relating to your home WLAN, click (not hold, just click) it'll open the config screen. in the connects to box, change to "my work network" or another network if you have edited networks already.
ok out back to the connections page
open "connections" under "my work network" configure the proxy server
Hopefully this will now work

there is no "my work network" under connections it just has my wap and gprs connection.
also i installed netfront and put the proxies in there but still nothing.
in that case try:
settings/connections
Advanced tab
select networks
programs wich automatically connect to the internet should use:
- click new
Make a new wifi network setting (call it whatver, wifi or your ISP name it doesn't matter)
Configure the proxy for that setting.
Revert to reply 1 to change the wifi SSID connection to associate with the new wifi network, and it will use the proxy settings you specified.
(hopefully!)
alright, i did as you said but i have another problem now. it won't even connect to my router. I took the WEP key i had off and still, wont connect. and yes its on mixed (b&g)
It says available then i click and hold click on connect. it says connecting then goes back to available... and wififofum does no good when i click on connect.
pocket ie uses my work network proxy settings and if you setup that way then it wont connect via wifi or/and messenger wont connect to the internet, i use netfront mostly better then pocket ie
i gave me kjam a static ip and it connects to the router right away, but still no browsing. im using netfront as well but every time i open it up i get an error and the "error reporting" thing comes up and asks me if i want to send the error.. is netfront WM5 compatible?
-update-
I just installed netfront v3.3 and connected to my wireless network and its giving me this error: "Cannot load page. TypeNS no server is specified" where to i specify the dns server? couldn't find it in netfront so its gonna be in the network settings of the kjam..
-UPDATE-
I GOT IT!!! IT WORKS.. wow ok but one last question, when you go to start>settings>connections>Network Cards and then click on "Network Adapters" on the bottomw, which one is the built in wifi card cuz i set the IP and DNS for like 4 of those adappters.
-FINAL UPDATE-
so i accidently hard reset my device but it did me some good. cuz i did a soft reset after the setup process and now have no junk apps installed
but i installed netfront 3.3 and set the proxies init, connected to my wireless network and it worked right away. msn messenger still isn't working but i installed IM+ and that works. i`m posting this using my kjam so all is well
I'm still confused after looking for solutions.
My situation is as follows:
I have a I-mate jasjar WM5 - wifi at home and laptop at work which is connected through a secured network to the internet (where I can freely work with)
On my I-mate I have in the 'connections' setting:
- home: at the tab proxy setting I just ticked 'this network connects to the internet'
- my work network: same, but also ticked 'this network uses a proxyserver' and filled in the proxy server with recuired username and pasword.
In the network management I selected Home for 'programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using'
I selected 'My Work network' for programs that automatically connect to a private network...'
So far, so good, but know it begins!
Surfing the internet using my I-mate at home works without problems and I can use programs like netfront, resco radio,..
At work however, I can only surf the internet with my I-mate if I change the network managementsetting in both cases to 'my work network'. BUT it is not possible for me to check for example my gmail through outlook or use resco radio. It seems that I only can connect straight to the internet with internet brouwsers, but that other programs cannot access it????
I use active sync 4.2 at work and the setting 'this computer is connected to' is set to automatic.
All help would be welcome
does this help?

Okay, this has been bugging me for a long time, so I decided to solve this by myself once and for all.
Situation:
1. GPRS requires a proxy connection
2. WiFi and ActiveSync (A.S. on PC when connecting to an Exchange Server) "inherit" the same GPRS proxy settings, and are unable to connect to that proxy server, which make them both unusable.
So, naturally, I configured "The Internet" connection to use the GPRS access point and the GPRS proxy,
And "My Work Network" to be an internet connection WITHOUT a proxy.
But for some reason, that doesn't work.
The connections tab doesn't let "My Work Network" to be a "proxyless" internet connection.
I tried many configurations, trying to fool the wifi connection, until I got to a final solution that works.
The wifi knows to pick the connection without the proxy, so does the activesync, and so does the default GPRS connection, when no other connection is present, automatically!
So, the solution is this:
1. Go to the Start->Settings->Connections->Advanced tab->Select networks
Under "Programs that… Internet should connect using"
Click New to create a new connection:
Name for settings: Direct Internet
Modem: Leave Blank
Proxy Settings:
This network connects to the internet [Check]
This network uses a proxy [Uncheck, or Check and fill in your home proxy settings]
Click OK.
2. Under "Programs that… private network should connect using"
Click New to create a new connection:
Name for settings: GPRS Internet
Modem: Click New, and follow the wizard to add your GPRS access point.
Proxy Settings:
This network connects to the internet [Check]
This network uses a proxy [Uncheck, or Check and fill in your GPRS proxy settings]
Click OK until all windows are closed.
3. Now we need to get WiFi and AS to use the "Direct Internet" we created.
Go to the Start->Settings->Network Cards (Or Wi-Fi for some OSs)->Network Adapters tab
My Network card connects to:
set "The Internet"
(This will make your Wifi choose the "Direct Internet" connection, with the proxy you specified, or without a proxy)
4. On your PC, Open the Microsoft ActiveSync Window (Make Sure you have ActiveSync 4.5 or higher)
Click File->Connection Settings
This computer is connected to:
set "The Internet"
(This will make your ActiveSync inherit the "Direct Internet" connection, with the proxy you specified, or without a proxy)
That’s it, you're done!
The beauty is that Windows mobile knows it needs to use the "GPRS Internet", only when other connections are not present.
Now you don't have to mess with selecting a proxyless connection when connecting to a WiFi source, or using activesync
thank you very much for this, has helped very much.
i think this is a brilliant work around...... thank u soooooooo very much... i have been banging my head endlessly to try and find some solution to the problem i had.... and nothing could have been better than this....
:cheers:
Shlomki is there any way i can force MS Exchange to use AS when cradled? coz somehow it connects using GPRS even when cradled and connected to AS...
i'm happy to hear it helped you both!

if you followed the steps exactly as i described, exchange SHOULD use AS (your PC's internet connection). that's how its working for me right now.
when cradled and connected to AS, did you try browsing to a website to see which connection it tries to use? try to use PIE and see if it tries to connect to the GPRS or the PC's internet connection.
if it uses GPRS also, there might be a problem with your settings..
Repeat stages 1 & 4, they are critical for that matter.
Try stage 1 without entering a proxy server. just uncheck the proxy settings and check "This network connects to the internet".
Shlomki do u think i should uncheck enable advanced networking in settings--> connections-->USB to PC....?? do u think that maybe the problem creator?

when i complete step 2 [without checking proxy settings] and go back to see if this connects to the internet is checked or not it is always unchecked even though i check it some seconds more... am i doing something wrong here?? i dont think my GPRS connection uses any proxy settings...

yes, it happens to me also. i think thats the way they intended it to be.
when you use a proxy with the work network, it doesnt uncheck the internet option.
are you using a proxy at all?
no i dont use a proxy..... i connect to the internet using a cable modem... n between the cable modem and the PC is my netgear WiFi router...
then why did you follow a post that's inteded for proxy connections
just select your proxyless gprs settings as your internet connection, and set active sync (on the pc) and network cards (on the ppc) to use "the internet".
im sorry if i didnt make myself clear.... i had proxies... since ur method didnt work i changed the whole setup on my PC and now i dont use a proxy...
but ur post was very informative nonetheless..
thank u again

Thank you so much for this work around. You don't know how long I have been fighting this problem. What an elegant solution!
I think that I might try to abuse this to let other porgrams connect using T-mo GPRS since it seems that only web works when the Proxy is on, and other things work when its not.
woah

are you using wm6?
wm6 roms have a known issue with connecting to some secured networks.
try to set your router to allow unsecured connections and reconfigure your wifi settings in your ppc.
if it connects fine, the problem is with the wifi drivers.

i don't know, sorry.
but it has nothing to do with proxy settings.

read the manual again, from start to finish, and do not skip a word.
if you're not using a proxy in your "Work Network Settings", this manual is not for you.
I nerver really understood Microsofts concept behind the Internet / Private Network differentiation in WM, therefore i got a small problem right now.
What i would like to do is browsing the internet using PIE in the following network environment:
An accesspoint provides access to an unsecured wifi containing nothing but a pptp vpn server. The vpn then allows accessing the internet.
Currently i got managed to connect to the wifi and to properly set up the vpn under the "my work connection" settings. when i manualy connect to the vpn the connection gots established. The problem is that this only works if:
"Programms that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" is set to "my isp" and
"Programms that automatically connect to a provate should connect using:" is set to "my work network".
this of course lets the vpn collapse when the pie is running, because it is configured to use "my isp" instead of "my work connection".
When both options are set to "My work connection" mannually connecting to the vpn leads to a "cannot connect with current connection settings[...]" error.
any ideas?
Hi
go to connections then advanced, then go to exceptions and add a new url
add
*
and
*.*
then it should route the connections via the VPN and not disconnect it
Regards
works for PIE!
thank you!
(is there also a solution for the messaging (email) application?)
should do emails too
I havent used VPN for a while so might set it up and try it again if i get some time
