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.

Are you, maybe, using the SBSH Weather?Are you, maybe, using the SBSH Pocket Weather?
For me the same thing started after I installed SBSH PW…

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

Problem with opera mobile

I have installed Opera mobile on my qtek 9000 but when I receive mail and I want to open a link to an internet connection it doesn't open the page and send me an error message. How can I resolve? Thanks

You can't get rid of that error, you can only get around it: select and copy the link, open opera, and paste the link to the adress window.
Or set PIE to be your predefined net browser...

My imate JASJAR had the same problem, but it can be solved. I had installed Opera 8.60 on the Storage card and I had to modify either opera.ini or some links in registry to point to the correct location of Opera. Also I checked that Opera was standard browser (.htm points to Opera at the right location). Check:
\\\registry\HKCR\.htm\_htmlfile_Opera
\\\registry\HKCR\http\Shell\Open\Command\default
\\\registry\HKCR\http\\DefaultIcon\Default
\\\registry\HKCR\http\Shell\Open\Command\default and the same for https
I used Total Commander + plugin to edit registry.

Great !!!!!! Thanks from Italy

When I started using Opera, I've spent HOURS looking for something like this, even asking Opera Support!
Eventually, I've gave up, and used the work around I' posted earlier.
Many thanks!

It is great for me. I think by that when I closed the agenda and open again, opera was fried.

Internet Explorer saves link instead of logging in

Hi
I've tried every setting imaginable on my Tytn running WM 6.1 Internet Explorer. I'm trying to login to my mobile banking site but everytime I get to the login screen and select the login link, the browser just gives me an option to save the link (Login.do) instead of routing me to the link.
The the browser does nothing further - it remains at the last page.
I've tried the same on desktop PC and the link works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

It seems my browser (PIE) was the problem - Microsoft should really include something better with WM.
I upgraded to Opera. Sorted now.

Huge problem in R2AA006 with Internet

hey guys i hope you can help. Heres my problem:

In th R1 firmware it was like this: i entered an adress, i hit enter, on the top of my screen a bubble popped up telling me the gprs connection is established. in R2 firm it just does nothing. theres coming no bubble.
Anybody know how to fix this? it's pretty mad to have an high-end business phone which cant connect to the internet!

Check the internet settings!
Or set them manually - call your operator.

It is definately a Problem with Windows Mobile! The Beta Version of Mozilla's Fennec can connect to the internet. But its so damn slow that i dont wanna use it! So, any solutions ?

There is an other browser called Skyfire. I use that one all the time and I love it. I think it is stable, fast and good looking. You even can go to YouTube with it. Give it a try!
Greets!

back again. now i know why the programs cant access the internet, but i dont know how to solve it they try to connect to a VPN connection which is not existing. Also i cant set up a UMTS connection.
here's a screenshot
