Suddenly PIE doesn't browse to websites! Stuck "Locatin

Enough is enough.
I had the same **** with my old PDA2K and now again with the Exec... I've spent 20 hours thus far on that ****. I just hard reset my machine yesterday and now again this **** happens and I cannot fix it.
I am surfing using UMTS/GPRS.. My definitions are FINE. There's only one connection. It was always fine that way on both the pda2k and the new exec.. but it stopped working now... it could be that some program messed up this ****, but i wouldn't know which.
Trying to browse to a site.. I get PIE saying 'Locating..." then after a minute or so saying "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded blah blah blah"... But the 3GUMTS is connected just fine.. Note that MSN Messenger doesn't work as well (I think that's because it's uses the core engine the PIE uses). Strangely, using networking utilities (vx) I can ping with the machine and even get HTML pages using web addresses. So the problem is not DNS and not a connection problem.. Just probably some damn problem with the operating system not recognizing something.. The 3rd party vxutilities for networking are bypassing that **** hence why they can browse the network just fine.
Tried deleting temp internet files and cookies nada... I also tried soft reset (about 20 times).. nada.... tried deleting the connection and recreating... nada... tried searchiong the registry for my connection name after deleted to see if traces exists.. nada...
Getting tired of this ****.. only hardreset solved it last time and i'm getting sick of becoming the machine's slave rather then the machine being my slave.
Help would be grately apprecaited..... I am sure it's ****ed up registry entry or something like that... I don't have many programs isntalled on my machine as I just hard reseted yesterday and my machine is in rather clean condition except for must have apps.
Help...SOS..

Check your proxy server info (in connections).
My XDA exec just loves to grab my work proxy server and try use that for accessing the web when wifi is active.

Thanks for trying to help...
but that's not the issue.. it's wwaayy deeper than that... ( i would have found it after 20 hours of trying had it been this easy ...
No proxy whatsoever. I never used Wifi. No work setup.. only "My ISP Setup".
anybody else? I'm offering $20 by paypal for the kind soul who can help stop my frustration WITHOUT hardresetting my machine or doing drastic moves. I need a permanent solution. If I solve it before so.. I will post my fix here...

UPDATE:
It's working now, though I don't like the solution, I changed in 'Connections' to connect through 'My Work Network' although I don't actually have any work network and I'm using it the same way I used the "My ISP" connection. It may stop working again though. i'll update.. but I still don't get it why the normal My ISP which always worked stopped working.

com'on someone please help me out here. i'll donate another 20 euro to this site if i find a solution... What I did yesterday (changed it so that it will use only the 'My work' profile both both internet and work worked fine.. but only for 24 hours. it now doesn't work again even after multiple softresets as well as deleting and defining the account again.. what a frustartion.
Now only that i cannot use PIE, I cannot use Terminal Server as well.. which is a bummer

Toggle flight mode on and then off.

Have ever try to remove check box of proxy in network tab? With mine it works.

proxy issue
I noticed the same thing on my wizard, I think it may be caused by an internet explorer automatic configuration script. When I manually provide the ip address and port number of the proxy server, the problem does not appear. I changed this in Internet Explorer running on my PC and in the Work connection on my phone. I have also changed the setting in Active Sync to choose the Work Network setting by default instead of automatic.
The only way I got Internet Explorer back to work was after a hard reset.
It did not happen again in the past 1,5 week. I have been restoring the same backup after each of these hardresets so I had an identical install everytime. It seems to be fine now.
I don't know how WM5 handles Active Directory policies (if it handles them at all) that may change your IE settings as well.

Re: proxy issue
"Check your proxy server info (in connections).

My wizard does the same, it will work for a week or so and try using some random proxy for no reason!
I just uncheck the proxy tick box and the wifi connection works great with internet explorer. (well usually I tear my hear out for 5 mins and then realise its the proxy!)

PIE stuck at Locating
Hi mobiler,
I hope you have found a more permanent solution to your problem. I own an MDA Pro with TMobile UK and recently bacame plagued with the same symptoms which you reported, i.e., pocket explorer and opera mobile stuck at locating and not able to browse the web. Through some helpful suggestions on this thread I managed to find a solution which you may or may not have already tried. Like most people, I use my MDA pro at home on my home wireless Wifi network, and while away at work I use its GPRS/UMTS capabilities. I had no reason to think that these two features of the MDA Pro had any interactions with each other. In fact, I seem to remember reading somewhere that separate pieces of internal hardware provide these features. However, to my surprise/dismay I discovered that somehow the Wifi and GPRS/UMTS settings on the MDA pro are linked together. For example, if you setup a proxy server in the GPRS modem settings, which I recently did, without notifying you the Wifi connection also tries to use the same proxy setting. Vice versa if you setup a specific IP address and Gateway in your Wifi settings the GPRS modem connection also tries to use those settings and failing. The solution for getting back to normal internet browsing was to remove the proxy in modem connection by using its automatic settings ,and to tick the server assigned IP address for Wifi. This is a less than satisfactory solution, however, at least things are back to where they were before. I remain very puzzled at the interaction between these features and am dismayed and frustrated that there is nothing in the step by step procedures in each setting that warn you about a possible impact on the other.

Internet Explorer Mobile cannot open page

Hi all,
I got this message on my Wizard when I try to enter any web address or click a favorite : "The address is not valid. Check the address and try again.".
I think it must have happened after I used Mermaid to clean some wrong registry, now IE just doesn't respond well. (however another browser works, like AvantGo or Mini Opera).
I have hard-reseted the device and restore system settings but no luck (since the system restore must have put the error back in place).
any idea ?
thx in advance.

maybe you have to change the settings in the connection tab. I had a similar problem and it was because by default the GPRS connection was used and I only wanted to use WIFI. Make sure that the connection settings are correct for your service provider.
hope this helps

nope, not working with either GPRS or Wifi
even so that opera works fine with both GPRS or Wifi or LAN connected to PC. And I did compare my connections settings to a friend who has the same phone, the same O2 provider and they are both similar.
So my question is more :
- how do I reinstall Internet Explorer only ?
is there a way ?

You can't. It's part of the Mobile O/S.
Do the hard reset again but don't restore the settings. See if it works.

hard reset was the answer
such a shame ... :-(

Did you find some solution? Was it OK after hard reset?

Removed IE--How to redirect programs to Opera?
I have a related problem:
I installed Opera Mini 4.1 and it works great, much quicker and better display than IE. However, it appears that a number of other applications have failed to work and time out without IE. Do I need to reinstall IE? (I was able to set up Opera to open with the IE button.
Does my question make sense? Basically, programs that need a browser don't seem to connect through Opera. How do I direct them to the new browser in the absence of IE? Thanks in advance!

i cant get opera mini on my wizard. help, please. says phone model not detected

Any suggestion?
Thanks

maybe it use java or something pocket internet explore really is not much of a browser anyway
try using opera mobile

Try to install "Opera Mini" broswer which is free and check if your problem is related to IE browser.

Thanks for the answer, i'll go to try and let you know

IE working, but not Opera Mini. (Tzones proxy)

Hey guys,
This morning every thing was working fine with my t-zones proxy connection. I could use Opera Mini. I let my son try to set-up an e-mail account, and when I got it back, there was no email and no more opera.
Opera cannot connect to the tzones proxy any longer and I'm wondering if there may have been a setting my son bumped when trying to adjust the email. The odd thing is IE still works fine and can connect.
Opera works fine when WiFi is enabled. I am using the Tmobile Wing (HTC Herald) with Touch-IT touched by vista ROM (which should not matter.)
Thanks for any incite

i read that you have to use esmertec jbed midlet to launch it

Edit: For some reason I was able before to just click the "O" shortcut to launch opera mini. Now I need to select the "e" java manager shortcut to launch it. It is now working correctly.. I just don't understand why this would happen, and why only for tmobile proxy - not for wifi..
Thanks for your response, but the program launches fine and has worked fine up until today.
There must be some TZones setting that was switched, but I don't understand how IE could still work if that was the case.
The problem lies only in Opera reaching the proxy.
IE can reach it fine, and Opera can reach internet through Wifi.
Opera for some odd, odd reason cannot reach the tzones proxy.
Any other suggestions? Thanks
When I try to access a site using Opera Mobile, everthing is fine. When I try using Opera Mini, I get this error message:
"Failed to connect to the Internet.
100
java.io.IOException: null
Click here to start the connection test."

Opera and NTLM support

Hi all,
since a couple of days I have a new HD2 and it's fantastic!
On my old Diamond I was able to enable the NTLM support in Network section of Opera config file but, with a big surprise, in the current configuration (on HD2) the NTLM is missing (in the Network section and other of configuration file).
Since I need authentication for ISA proxy (via NTLM) on company intranet (my connection is through dedicated APN that link directly on company intranet) I can't use Opera on my HD.
Any suggestion or workaround?
IE works corretly but don't suppport multi touch zoom so I would like to use Opera.
The previous version of Opera installed on Diamod (last italian official ROM) work perfectly.
Thanks all!!

I'm interested in this too (just bookmarking the page really).
I use IE as Opera doesn't work, but would rather use Opera. I browse private folders via IIS and don't have the opportunity to log in with Opera.

Doing the same (bookmarking), just for fun I tried to check some webapps on my corporate Intranet set up with IIS integrated authentication and it worked perfectly with IE. I didn't try with Opera. Will do on monday and see if I can come up with a solution

Opera doesn't offer a dialog to enter domain authentication. It just says "the server requested a login authentication method that is not supported."
It seems pretty sure of itself

I'm not entirely happy about this, but there appears to be a workround...

Doesn't help if you don't have admin rights on the server, of course.

You are right on both accounts! It IS very sure of itself. As MS would say, this is not a bug, this is a feature or this is by design.
As for the workaround, I hadn't seen your post until now and being sysadmin for a lot of IIS servers, I thought about the same solution, tested and it works. I came back here to report about it but you beat me to the post by almost 48 hours -
Anyway, it's not a good solution and not everybody with a HD2 has admin rights on the IIS servers of his company.
So we are stuck with IE until maybe a new version of Opera mobile. After all, Opera on desktops supports it (sort of...)

Ok, thanks for support.
What sounds strange to me, is that Opera installed on my old Diamond implement the NTLM authentication and the version on HD2 (newer) not at all. Moreover I installed the Opera 10 beta and, in this version also, the NTLM support is missing (I don't find it in the configuration file).
Why they removed it?
