Internet via wifi only works if I select 'work'

I was finally able to go online using the wifi. Where it asks what the network connects to, I had to change it to 'Work' instead of 'The Internet.' The problem is now I can't connect to any internal ip's such as my router or other networked computers. A bubble pops up over the wifi icon on the taskbar telling me I need to change my connection settings. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi bendog2784!
The internet profile is used together with vpn connection settings and the work is for direct internet connection. The difference is in encryption but access should be the same so perhaps your problem is because of incorrect ip settings.

I have since got it to work. I think a lot of it had to do with the tmobile proxy. Not entirely sure though.

streaming music or movies over wifi

Hi guys iv run into a bit of an issue with my tytan
has anyone been able to stream music or movies over wifi
i have checked my network settings in options in windoows media player and all seem ok but when im trying to stream files over wifi i get a message invalid or incorrect parameters -
it worked fine with my xda exec no errors-
i can access files etc over wifi transfer them
any thoughts ???thanks

Are you streaming off the internet? If yes, you need to go to Settings > Connections > Network Cards > Network Adapters, and set "My network card connects to the internet." Otherwise bot pIE and Meda Payer will kee trying to use your GSM/3G connection.

hi sorry its not from the internet im trying to stream music/movies over my home wifi network on my PC, and im using resco explorer 5 to do it,over the network,

how to connect to internet at home AND work

I'm still confused after looking for solutions.
My situation is as follows:
I have a I-mate jasjar WM5 - wifi at home and laptop at work which is connected through a secured network to the internet (where I can freely work with)
On my I-mate I have in the 'connections' setting:
- home: at the tab proxy setting I just ticked 'this network connects to the internet'
- my work network: same, but also ticked 'this network uses a proxyserver' and filled in the proxy server with recuired username and pasword.
In the network management I selected Home for 'programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using'
I selected 'My Work network' for programs that automatically connect to a private network...'
So far, so good, but know it begins!
Surfing the internet using my I-mate at home works without problems and I can use programs like netfront, resco radio,..
At work however, I can only surf the internet with my I-mate if I change the network managementsetting in both cases to 'my work network'. BUT it is not possible for me to check for example my gmail through outlook or use resco radio. It seems that I only can connect straight to the internet with internet brouwsers, but that other programs cannot access it????
I use active sync 4.2 at work and the setting 'this computer is connected to' is set to automatic.
All help would be welcome

does this help?

wifi uses proxy settings from my GPRS connection?

I have a proxy setup to allow me to connect to T-mobile's internet. I noticed that when the proxy is enabled in connection settings, my wifi does not connect to websites. However, when I disable the proxy from my gprs connection wifi works fine.
Is this normal? Is it maybe a bug with the rom im using?

Normal.
...

I have searched everywhere and instead of starting another post on the same issue I will post on this one.
I have the same issue, and understand its normal. Is there a way around this because re typing in proxy settings just to go on gprs internet is a annoying and incovienent. I want to be able to go on wifi and have everything work fine. When I disconnect wifi I can then access the internet via gprs proxy.

AT&T included both an enable proxy cab and a disable proxy cab...
However Im in the process of moving and my main computer is down...
When I get it back up I'll pull those cabs off of the phone, perhaps they will work for tmobile..beats going into the connection settings...

After all of this I found a fix.

Someone should really sticky this because this helps so much especially since I like not having to pay for my T-mobile internet via the proxy. Now I dont have to delete the proxy. My activesync and wifi work flawlessly as well as GPRS Edge.

Is there a way to keep your proxy settings from being overwritten?

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?
