Two proxies one for PC and the other for WAP over GPRS

I have two proxies I should insert in my proxy settings in the connection icon. One to be used when I connect my JAM to PC through bluetooth to be able to use the internet connection I have (10.0.0.1) and the other I have to replace it with my WAP configuration to be able to use WAP over GPRS (192.168.23.50) . Any method you have guys to put them both without each time I want to connect I have to erase the old proxy and insert the new one. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Why do you need second proxy??? You can use your Pocket Internet Explorer over usual GPRS connection to view any WAP resources and it will be cheaper because GPRS traffic usually cheaper than WAP
I see only one reason to use WAP gateway - is to be able to access operator's content pages

Thanks for your reply. I need my ISP proxy since I am able to view any homepage as it is and not in WAP mode so as if I have a GPRS connection but only restricted to Internet explorer. I cannot use for instance the MSN messanger and other internet related applications .
and if I put the 10.2.2.1 proxy and leave the wap proxy 192.168.50.23 and try to browse through internet explorer it gives me an error
Any help would be appreciated.

Proxy with pocket ie

Hi , i am very new to pocket pc and so far its been good until i decide to use my HTTP proxy server with pocket ie,
firstly i dont get why pocket pc has My isp and My work sections on connection settings
secondly if i setup an gprs apn to isp section i cant use or add proxy server settings to it, if i create same apn on my work network section i can add and use my proxy server, thats ok i went advenced section and changed both (programs that connect to internet and private network) auto. used networks to my networkbut now if i try to get my emails with my ppc outlook can not connect to internet unlesss i change first setting ( programs that connect automaticly to the internet setting) back to my isp and if i do that pocket ie wont use my proxy server, is there any way to use porx server on pocket ie?

i have found my answer:
"Any user or ISP that uses a proxy and still connects directly to the internet will not work. The proxy assumes all connections with a dot in the name go to the proxy and that the proxy supports socks or winsock to connect. So company's that use a proxy to speed up access to the internet like when you use wireless will experience issues with e-mail due to this issue. So with the connection to Work, you can get to the web but no otherservice. So if you set it to The Internet then you can get e-mail but no web. "

Using a proxy server to browse

My university WLAN network uses a proxy server for browsing.
Now, I can easily connect my O2 Exec with the university network but I end up browsing only the internal network. I don't know how to set up Pocket IE and/or Opera to browse through the proxy.
I couldn't find any setting in the browser or anywhere else to enter the proxy.
The only option for setting up a proxy is in the Connection Settings but I believe those connection settings are for GPRS and MMS and not for WLAN.
How do I browse on my WLAN with proxy? :?

Managing multiple (more than two) connections automatically

Hi,
I'm new to this forum, and I have tried searching for a similar entry here at xda-developers.
I have a problem managing multiple connection automatically with my HTC TyTN II (WM 6) device. Here's the scenario:
1. I have configured the Internet connection to be the Internet APN of my ISP (the first connection entry in the Connections / Tasks tab. This works ok.
2. I need to access WAP pages (available only to customers of the ISP I'm using) via the WAP proxy of my ISP. I have configured this in the second entry in the Connections / Task tab. I have configured the APN, and proxy server for WAP browsing. I use wsp:// as the protocol in the address field of IE. This works fine, as well.
3. I also need to use ActiveSync to access company E-Mail. Our company has a third APN for this purpose to access the Exchange server in the Intranet. I have configured this in the second section on Connections, or the Network management under "Programs that automatically connect to a private nerwork should connect using:". The problem is that I need to use both the WAP APN, and this Intranet APN. With current setup I need to manually select WAP APN, when I browse the WAP pages (available only via the WAP proxy), and the Intranet APN, when I would like ActiveSync to sync with the company Exchange server.
Now, I've also tried selecting "Auto pick" in Connections/Advanced tab->Select Networks->Edit (private network section). It seems to always pick the first one, since it's a working conection. I guess this is how it should work. The question is: is there a way to tell ActiveSync to use a particular connection, or put it in another way: is it possible have two private networks, so that WAP browsing would use one, and ActiveSync the other one automatically. Only the WAP connection is using a proxy server. Company E-Mail is accessed via diffrent APN with username, but without a proxy server.
Thanks for your time,

Need Mobile browser with SOCKS proxy support or workaround

Hello,
Im using a htc hd2 with WM6.5
Does anyone know of a mobile browser in which I can change SOCKS proxy settings - just like mozilla firefox? (ive tried minimo and fennec a3, but no good, unless I could use some addon in fennec).
I want to tell my browser to listen on port 1080 for a SOCKS connection (im port forwarding with pocketputty).
Alternatively, does a program like 'tsocks' exist for windows mobile, in which I can socksify for my mobile browser? I havent used tsocks before btw.
Or finally, is there a way to edit the registry in WM6.5 so that the browser does listen on port 1080 for SOCKS?
Thankyou,
Will

I believe you have to modify the connection entry - I'm guessing you're using wifi, right?
When you create the connection entry, you can associate the connection with a proxy to work properly. Gonna grab my phone and update how-to in a minute....

start-settings-connections-Connections
For me on ATT, I have 2 options - media net and "work" - under "work" there is a setting for proxy server. Go through those options and set appropriately.
Then, when you're done with this, go back and modify your connection (wireless I'm guessing) to associate that connection with the "work" profile and not the "internet" profile.
I had to do this with my work - which uses just a basic forwarding proxy.

hey mate
im not using wifi, im using telstra's next g network. I can get mobile broadband pretty much anywhere in all major cities.
Ill just explain a bit more as to what im doing so you can understand. Im dynamically forwarding port 1080 from a remote SSH server back to my phone, then i want to tell my browser to 'listen' or 'accept' this connection on port 1080. Then im essentially browsing the internet through my SSH server, using it as a proxy. I have this working on my windows xp desktop machine.
So you think i need to modify the phones connections settings to get my browser accepting a socks v4 connection on port 1080?
Ive tried this before with no success. Under 'network management'
the default way my device connects to the internet is 'telstra internet', and the default way for a program to connect to a private network is 'my work network'.
default settings for 'telstra internet':
modem: Cellular line (GPRS)
access point name: Telstra.wap
Proxy settings for 'telstra internet'
2 boxes ticked, 'this network connects to the internet' and ' this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet'
Advanced Settings for proxy
Type Server
http: 10.1.1.181:80
WAP:
Secure WAP:
SOCKS: 10.1.1.181:1080
Ive also experimented around with a 'socksify' program known as proxycap.
2 possible solutions:
1. I configure the browser to listen for a socks connection on port 1080 (this works on firefox for windows xp)
or
2. Use proxycap to 'socksify' a mobile browser
