Hi guys,
Well I have searched everywhere and found nothing.
Well my college has wifi but it uses a proxy to access the internet.
So in Internet explorer on my desktop/laptop there is a direct option in the lan settings to specify a proxy ip and prot.
how do i do the same for my xda2s running 5.0.
thanks
Hello,
The way to go about doing this is to set up a proxy server under Start> Setings>Connections>Connections. Under My Work Network, select "Set Up My Proxy Server" and check the boxes for "This Network connects to the internet" and "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet". Click on the "advanced" setting which should open up a window where you can choose your proxy port and enter your port address & numbers. Note when using pass through or any other connection that doesnt use the same proxy, make sure you turn your proxy port settings off (by unchecking the "this NW uses proxy port" check box). I hope this solves your problem.
Alternatively, a solution I've found which works is to use Opera Mobile - you can specify an HTTP and/or HTTPS proxy to use (in the form of hostname/iport) and then when you connect it just asks you to authenticate against it and boom: you're good to go.
No more faffing about with My Work Network, half the time I could never get connectivity with my Alpine when I did it like that (which meant it tried to dial up to the GPRS)... However if I'm not using Opera for one reason or another, I will use the My Work Network method with my TyTn. Both ways work just as well, I just think the Opera solution is neater because you can just set all your wifi networks as 'connects to the Internet'.

i think it may work
it worked for me
I have a HTC S710, and does anyone know how I can use IPsec VPN? I've got Bluefire VPN wich supports it, but when I try to connect it says
"The Connection Settings do not allow a VPN connection to be established. The device may be configured to use the same network for both The Internet and Work. Please verify the Connection Settings and try again (-71)"
Ive looked all over for this sort of settings, but havent been able to find any. Anyone to help?
under wm6, have a look at settings - connections - connections - advanced - select networks
the settings for internet and private network must be different
for internet, i have "my isp", for private network "my work network"
with these settings, bluefire works in my university vpn network
under wm6, have a look at settings - connections - connections.
Here's just an empty list, I can't seem to find the "advanced" option.
I have deleted my GPRS account, because it kept onlining, and I want to use VPN over Wifi.
In advance, thanks
settings - connections - connections
there should be two headlines, "my ISP" and "my work connection", these are built in
"advanced" is a tab at the bottom of the page
So on desktop computers this is easy, just open up browser set up your proxy servers and done.
The only settings I can see that set up proxies on the kaiser are for GRPS/Dial-up/3G. But that's already set by my cell provider and it doesn't require a proxy (to my knowledge)
But I'd like to be able to access my home proxy when I'm using wi-fi (at home or away from home) I just can't find a way to set it in the system.
If anyone knows please let me know.
Thanks
i wish to know the answer as well
In Settings, Connections you can set up two Automatic connections 'Internet' & 'Private'. Typically these are 'My ISP' and 'My Work Network'. In the Private network settings you can specify your proxy. You then need to edit your WiFi settings for your Home WiFi - change the 'Connects to:' to 'Work' (as opposed to The Internet). When you connect to your home WiFi it should use the proxy specified.
Be careful with ActiveSync or Sync Centre as this can change these settings each time your device connects to your PC (change the connection settings in ActiveSync/Sync Centre on the PC so that the option 'This computer is connected to:' is NOT set to 'Automatic'.
Windows Mobile also supports Proxy Auto Detection as well. If this is the same as Windows proxy auto detection then it relies on either DHCP being configured to send Option 252 with the URL of the Proxy script and/or DNS with a host record or alias for the WPAD host in the devices domain - i.e. wpad.network.com.

Hello,
I have HTC Touch, and I'm trying to connect to wifi with ISA proxy.
First, I connected to home wifi (no proxy) and accessed internet without problem.
At work we have Radius etc. but I also connected, and I can surf to pages inside company (no need for proxy), but I can't get out to internet.
Any suggestion would be great!
tnx
small update: looks like I was surfing at work through usb cable, not wifi. But now I can't even connect to wifi at work, which I could before. Funny things going on, I'll reset.
Update2:
Newest status is: wifi connected, can surf internal sites, but can't go outside company network.
I suspect that IE is not going through the proxy at all. Which implicates that I don't know how to setup IE to use proxy on WM6???
If you edit "My Work Settings" thru Settings -> Connections -> Connections you can edit the proxy settings there. Then you say "connect to internet" thru "My Work Settings". I may be wrong, but I think you need to reset the pda as well...
OK, here are my settings:
under settings-connections-connections, advanced - select networks:
"Programs that automatically connect to Internet should connect using:" My Work Network.
When I click Edit, under Modem, there are no entries.
Under Proxy settings, "This network connects to internet" and "this network uses a proxy.." are both checked.
"Proxy server" field is disabled.
Under Advanced:
Socks line has serverort next to it. Others are empty. Server and port are good.
I click ok on all and go to IE. Type www.google.com, it says "Locating.." and that's all. Internal web sites are opening ok.
I tried to turn it off, and back on.
Tried google, not working.
I checked all settings once again and tried then, still nothing.
This is a common problem and I have not found a solution for it myself yet.
The proxy settings are lost when you apply them, and the SOCKS server settings behaves weirdly.
Anyone knows what can be done?
i want to know how to do this too... my school is also using the same system.
still no update
no update ??
configfree from Toshiba
Dear,
I had an old E800 from toshiba where configfree is installed. With this program I can configure proxy for wifi in 10 sec and it works.
does someone know where we can find this program for other PDA. I want to try it on my Cruise.

I'm also having the same issue. Can anyone help, please?
From my experiences I can tell you: THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE HTC AND HTTP PROXY FOR WIFI RUN. Neither with WM6.0 nor 6.1 nor a special brand nor the original firmware.
I have tried to inform HTC support, but I'm extremely pessemistic, that at least one will care. It seems to be not a WM related problem, because my WM6 ASUS doesn't have that issue.
There is a work around for browsers only: Don't use Pocket IE, use Minimo, because this browswer has it's own proxy setup. But it doesn't help you much, if you want to use other applications.
EDIT: Just to inform you, what happens, if you upgrade to WM6.1: The proxy settings are kept (HURRRAY) ---- but ignored completely It's _that_ brain damaged...
Regards

I can confirm the same "symptoms": proxy is totally being ignored on WM6.1. However, they're kept when you close the settings.

Proxy over WiFi works for me and has done with my previous HTC Wizard and now with my Kaiser. I have checked with a sniffer that I am definitely using the proxy over port 8080 (MS ISA 2006).
I have explained this before but this is how my device is setup.
ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre - Connection Settings set to 'This computer is connected to: Work Network' - Setting this to Automatic or The Internet deletes any Proxy Settings on the device when you connect it.
WiFi. My home WiFi SSID Network set to 'Connects to: Work'
Connections. 'Tasks' tab - Two settings 'My ISP' & 'My Work Network'. Advanced Tab, Select Networks. Top settings 'Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: My ISP'. Bottom settings 'Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using: My Work Network'. Under 'My ISP' I have the GPRS details for my carrier (Vodafone). Under 'My Work Network' I have a proxy defined with the Advanced settings configured - HTTP set to my proxy with the port 8080 and Socks set to my proxy with port 1080.
That's it and has worked for me since Windows Mobile 6.0 appeared for the Wizard. I used the same settings when I first got my Kaiser with WM 6.0 and now with WM 6.1 (more or less stock 5.2.19212) and it has worked every time.

WiFi and Proxy
There are too many wifi connection in the present. But the best thing is to choose the right one. Can you tell me to choose the right one with no Proxy service. Thanks
I am using a WM6.1 and I cant connect on the wireless connection in my university. The reason for that is inorder to connect on that university network, I need to make the WM to autodetect the proxy settings. Or atleast manually write them.
Excuse my lack of information on the matter, but inorder to log on the network using my laptop for example, I had to check the autodetect proxy settings in my browser, and then it asked me for a password and a user name every time I try to surf the net. How to do that using my PPC?
go inte settings > connections tab > connections then under my work network press the set up my proxy server link and from there you should be able to enter all the details you need similarly to your uni's settings.
