When i turn on WLan, I have to manualley turn off the proxy and backwards.
Is there a program like PocketZenPhone, but with an "allround network profile changer"?

I have an 8125 and access the internet in 3 different ways:
1: work uses a proxy for their secure wi-fi network
2: Cingular uses proxy for gprs
3: Home wi-fi network doesn't have a proxy
Can someone tell me how I can easily switch between these networks without having to change the connections settings? Is there a program that can be downloaded to help with the changes?
Thanks!
I also have a 8125. I have the proxy network settings under the "Work Network" settings, and the non-proxy under the "My ISP" settings. When I want to use WiFi or non-proxy, the 8125 will just automatically connect OK. When I need to use the proxy, I start IE and go to wsp://device.home and that forces it to connect to the Work Network.
I have a WM5 device (HTC Wizard) and have the following situation:
My "Home" connection uses a proxy to connect to the internet over GPRS (from phone company) -- this works fine.
My "Work" connection uses a different proxy to connect to the internet over wifi (from my work) -- this works fine.
If I want to connect to a third network (my home wifi connection, an internet cafe) that doesn't use a proxy (or uses a different proxy) I need to modify the "Home" connection to remove the phone company proxy settings -- then this works fine. But when I want to get back on my GPRS connection, I need to go modify the proxy configuration again to put the settings back in.
Is there an easier way to move between >2 proxy configurations than setting/clearing/modifying the proxy configuration every time I move between networks? I'm looking for solutions native in the device - I'm sure there are hacks like setting up my own proxy and screwing with the forwarding rules to identify "phone is on WLAN, go directly to internet" vs. "phone is connecting from GPRS, chain through phone company proxy" which will cause me about as many headaches as just manually entering the information. Thanks in advance for any replies.
easist way is to set up a third connection with no proxy....
Have you actually tried doing this? WM5 supports two connections - one for automatic connections (which by default it calls "Home"), one for VPN (which by default it calls "Work"). I could create another network connection profile, but that trade-off is between a) reconfiguring the single network connection profile that my "Home" connection uses (via my provider's proxy or not) for b) reconfiguring which of two network connections the "Home" network connection selects. I don't want another bunch of clicks to jump through as I move from network to network, I want it to Just Work. I'd like the decision tree to go:
if (secured resource)
..use VPN ("Work")
else
..if (preferred network available)
....// this would be my 802.11 nets
....// each of which may have proxy information associated with it
....use that network (afaict, NYI)
..else
....use GPRS ("Home")
But it appears to be:
if (secured resource)
..use VPN ("Work")
else
..use GPRS ("Home")
A bit of an ugly workaround would be to use Opera Mobile - you can manually specify HTTP and/or HTTPS proxies in its own Preferences, as well as any proxy info you might have set up in your work profile.
As of yet, I've not found a way to have more than one proxied profile preconfigured, which is annoying as different buildings in my Uni use different wifi networks with their own proxies and ports typical.
I have a problem of setting up http proxy server for my wireless connection.
What I have done is:
1. in settings -> connections
automatically connecting to internet by using: My ISP
automatically connecting to private network by using: My Work Network.
2. In My Work Network -> proxy settings
ticks, this network connects to internet
ticks,this network use a proxy server to connect to internet.
advanced:
HTTP: proxy.proxy.proxy: 8080
3. Set my wireless connection connect to Work network.
However, after the wireless was enabled, my proxy setting alway vanished away, like I haven't setup any proxy setting at all.
If I want to try to re-set my proxy server again in My Work Network. It will vanished away when I back to setting panel.
But if I disable the wireless connection, then my proxy setting can stay there. If my wireless turned on again, my proxy setting would gone immdiately.
Do you know what's wrong?

Go to MediaNet, tap proxy settings. check the top box; uncheck the lower box, then go back to ISP.
My wife uses her T-Mobile MDA (Wizard) to sync with her computer at at work. She also uses a proxy method to access the internet (on the go). Her job uses proxy settings and when she connects, it overwrites the proxy settings that she uses to access the internet when she's not connected to the computer. So basically, we have to put the proxy and modem settings in everytime she disconnects from active stink. Didn't have this problem until her job changed buildings and internet settings.
Is there any way to keep the settings from being overwritten? I've tried adding a second set of proxy settings with the same info having both the work proxy and the T-Mobile proxy. But what ever settings the phone is on, the work proxy will overwrite them with it's own. My wife uses her MDA to sync with her computer at at work.

Is there any way to keep the settings from being overwritten? "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop" is not checked. Checked that, and it still overwrites the settings. Very frustrating! How do you manage multiple proxy settings?
I have an AT&T Tilt (aka HTC TyTN II/Kaiser), and so far using Media.Net works fine...it's pretty cool when I have 3g, but when I don't (and I have a wifi network instead), I'd rather use that.
However, I can't force the device to use wifi networks when it connects to them over WAP...always, it tries to use slow GPRS. Even if I turn of GPRS, then I just lose all connectivity even though I am CLEARLY connected to my wifi network.
What settings do I need to change to force my phone to recognize and use wifi when it has connected to a network, but then automatically use WAP/GPRS/3g elsewhere? This shouldn't be so hard...
Well, not sure what device you are using; however, I'll tell you how I do it on my Tilt. I enter the connection settings and select "My ISP" for both public and private network connections. Then I edit the connection settings for "My ISP" in the "Advanced" tab. Here I create a new connection. I name it Media Net. I enter in all of the same settings as found with the standard MEdia Net connection. Then I save the settings. Now, if I know WiFi is around, I just enable WiFi from the Comm Manager and then just connect as normal. Then whenever I try to connect to the internet or whatnot when WiFi is not available, I am able to connect automatically with the GPRS/GSM connection. Hopefully that helps.
In my first message, I put that I was using a Tilt, but I've updated my sig to be informative as well.
If I use My ISP, and make a connection called MEdia.Net, I still can't enter the same information as for MEdia.Net because I don't know the password for [email protected] (maybe it's something simple that I am just not seeing immediately, but I don't know).
So, when I use that, I can't connect to anything. the connection screen will just pop up whenever it tries to connect via My ISP and then ask for a password.
Wifi does not do anything. I can connect to the network, but neither Internet Explorer, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, or outlook mobile will use it.
Sorry, kind of tired completely missed the type of phone you are using. Try these settings for MEdia Net:
Code:
Name: MEdia Net
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access Point: wap.cingular
UserName: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Domain: <blank>
=> Advanced: User server-assigned IP: selected
Use software compression: check
Use IP header: check
Just make sure that you add those settings as a new entry in the 'My ISP" setting. Also, make sure that in the connection settings "My ISP" used for both Public and Private connections. See if this helps.
Those settings allow me to go on with My ISP selected.

Wow, this seems to work...Thanks so much!
