How to delete GPRS Connections? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I'm trying to delete all GRPS connections, like 'My Work Network', and 'My ISP'. I figured out that 'My Work Network' uses registry-key {18AD9FBD-F716-ACB6-FD8A-1965DB95B814}, but I can't seem to delete it. Does any of you know how to delete both of these connections, so I can add my own connection?
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Destinations\My Work Network\\DestId={18AD9FBD-F716-ACB6-FD8A-1965DB95B814}
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Destinations\My ISP\\DestId={ADB0B001-10B5-3F39-27C6-9742E785FCD4}

Hi Jainoxi!
I think you got it a bit wrong. 'My work network' and 'My ISP' are not GPRS connections, but profiles.
To add a GPRS connection:
go to 'add new modem connection' (in connections), select 'Celular line (GPRS)' as the modem, and follow your provider's instructions for the rest of the settings.
Good luck

They are in fact 'connections', and although emtpy, they are the default settings. I know how to add my own connection, but I simply want these two removed...

You should take a look here:

And using DMProcessConfigXML you can remove them...
Not sure for the default ones though
And please change the topic's title, you are confusing users...rename it to remove destination networks for example
Good luck

internet on the PPC at work and home

Hi,
I have a o2 xda neo.
I've been trying to get internet working at both home and work through different settings. After lots of problems, i've done a hard reset and will try again.
Perhaps you can help with the correct settings, as I do not understand this whole Activesync 'the internet' / 'My Work' etc network settings.
I have my neo sync'd to my work pc. Fine. And when I use 'work' on the connection setting, then the internet is also fine on my PPC. HOWEVER, it updates my 'my work' settings on the PPC with my works proxy server ip etc.
OK, i understand that makes it work ok....
But my problem comes next. I want to set my o2 GPRS settings up. And they should go under 'my work' and I need to enter the o2 server IP in there.
But I can't because my work settings are there!!?!?!
So, I have to chose, do i want to use only work settings or only gprs settings...
How can I have both?
- when at work, it has internet fine.
- and on the move, i can use GPRS fine?
A million thanks in advance!

maybe i'm to simple, but i only use Internet settings and don't use @work @all.
And it works fine everywhere, @home, @work, via GPRS and via WiFi. Have you tried this?
and why would you put your gprs setting under Work?
Extremely sorry no one has replied to your post with a solution yet, I maybe too late but I only joined this forum yesterday.
You want multiple Network settings with independent Proxy settings and IP, DNS etc right??
Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Tap connections >go to the "Advanced" Tab. Tap "Select Networks" Here you are given 2 Choices of Network settings you can use. Work Network and Internet (or ISP). You have your work settings saved on Work network so do not edit that. choose the other one and edit it to enter all your GPRS settings. and save as your gprs connection. Now if you want to add a third independent setting, from the select Networks tab, click on new and you can create a third Set of connection settings (for your home maybe). Your PPC can handle 2 simultaneous connection settings perfectly, ex. 1 for Pass through and 2 for GPRS. But each time you want to connect to a third or different setting, you just go to the "Advanced Tab"> select Networks> tap the pull down options menu and select the other connection set that you would like to use et voila it is that simple.

T-Mobile MMS/GPRS Question

For some reason I've done this a thousand times but its not working this time. I'm pretty sure I've set this up right but its not working. 1st question: Is it possible to send MMS messages through 'internet2.voicestream.com'? It works through 'wap.voicestream.com', but then GPRS/EDGE wont work through that, it will only work through 'internet2.voicestream.com'. In addition to that, the auto switch isn't working for me. The MMS is trying to use 'internet2.voicestream.com' and the GPRS/EDGE is trying to use 'wap.voicestream.com'. 2nd question: Is there a way to set this up MANUALLY, without a provisioning cab? I hate those things, they add in other customizations that I don't like or want.

I've been using the T-mo cab since day 5 (days 1-4 I was racking my brain trying to get MMS to work) and it configures the connections as follows:
-Use internet2... under "My ISP" (or "T-Mobile US" in your case)
-Use wap... under "My Work Network" and change the "Connect via:" setting under MMS settings appropriately. Also, proxy settings are enabled for this connection ("This network connects...." and "This network uses..." both checked, proxy server blank, and under advanced settings: WAP server is: 216.155.165.50:9201)
-Network management (under the advanced tab of connections) => "My ISP" in the top, and "My Work Network" in the bottom.
The autopick within a connection never seemed to work for me, but the above works fine. In order to send an MMS, you must first disconnect from your GPRS/EDGE connection (alternatively, MMS will be the first to connect when recovering from a dropped data connection).
Hope that helps, if not just run the provisioning cab...hell-of-a-lot easier and I don't see what "other" things are added, all it does is set up the network connections and all the settings, nothing more, nothing less. Filename of the one I've been using for quite some time is T-Mobile_USA_Internet_UNI_SA_V2.0.CAB

on the contrary. when you open the cab you find all sorts of new favorites, changed home page, setup.dlls, and other customizing crap.
i've tried your way in the past. it does work. but i also know there is a way to get the auto pick to work. it has worked in the past. i just cant figure it out again.

Dunno which CAB you've been looking at, but the one I use has 4 files: an XML file for network settings, registry settings file (for MMS), and Check/Recheck executables for installation. No changes to favs, home page, etc...
The is the same one I've been using since grabbing from I-Mate's website back in Oct. '05.

well the ones from tmobile's extended rom do. and quite simply put, i dont want to use a provisioning cab.
now the question at hand is... has anyone gotten the auto pick to work with manual configuration and not with provisioning cabs
Odd wap.voicestream.com works fine for me for my edge connection. Makes it real easy to send an MMS no dropping connections or anything. I've used the above mention method using two different settings before works fine but not the autopick method.

GPRS works in IExplorer but - applications other applications can't use network conne

Dear friends,
I'm experiencing the following wired problem with my Sim-unlocked O2 XDA Neo (with original O2 software), which I'm using in Austria with the cell-provider tele.ring.
I've properly configured a new network-connection called "teler.ring GPRS" as described by my provider and it's possible for me to dial-in and connect.
When I start the WM5 IExplorer (or Opera Mobile) the phone dials in with GPRS and everything works fine as I'm able to surf the web.
Well unfortunately all other applications except those two (e.g. email, qmail, fring, skype, spbweather) are not able to use this internet connection - the email application for example tells me that the server cannot be found....
I have the feeling they are not accessing the proper network-connection. Is there any special profile I have to alter (e.g. network connection "ISP" or "O2 GRPS", etc.) with the GPRS settings so that the other applications can access the connection too?
How can I debug in this case to find where the problem could be?
Thanks for your help!
kr Andrew
There are two possible causes:
1) When you created the GPRS connection you did it under 'My ISP' correct?
If in the connections dialog you go to the 'advanced' tab and click 'network selection' you will see two drop-down lists. Make sure 'My ISP' (or whatever group your connection is under) is selected in both.
This way all programs will know to use it.
2) The other possibility is more problematic: some cell providers block traffic on all ports except standard HTTP ones (80, 8080) so any program that uses different ports (probably anything other than a browser) will not work.
You will have to settle this with your cell co.
Thanks for your reply,
add1)
Well I'm not quite sure where to find "My ISP"?
When I've created a new Networkconnection I directly wen to the connections dialog, "the advanced tab" and said "new" in one of the two drop-down lists.
After I've created this new connection, it is available in both of these drop-down boxes. After this, I selected it in both - so that all programs should acutally know how which connection to use.
add2)
I'm in email traffic with my cell provider, but actually - as they even offer email as an option - they actaually told me that the specfic ports (e.g .125 for IMAP) should not be blocked..
3) Is there a kind of network monitor for my PPC where I can read the exact statement of failure (e.g. use ping, or other network instruments)?
4) Is it possible that O2 (that's the software I'm using) has a predefined ports or application block on the device, as they I think are offering something like a gprs-flat?
Thanks for your help!
kr Andrew
I don't have the answer for 3 and 4 (I know there are network tools just can't remember any right now) but I think your problem is in step two.
You created a new group for your connection and this may confuse some programs.
By default, when you open 'Settings->Connections->Connections' on the first tab you should see 'My ISP' in bold and under that a link 'Add new network connection'. You should create your GPRS connection through that link and not in a new group (don't go to advanced).
If it is not there that could be something O2 did with the settings and unfortunately I am not sure how to get it back.

WM6.1 Networking

I'm sorry to bring this up again folks, I have read and searched forum for similar threads but am still confused.
I find the WM6.1 network connections interface very confusing. Can anyone tell me step by step how to setup vodafone?
Should it be setup as part of "My Work Network" or as its own "Vodafone Live" ?
When I set it up, I still want my phone to use my WiFi connection at home as default, and only use vodafone live if I specifically tell it to. Is this possible ?
Under Netwotk Management
Surely "programs that auto connect to the internet" and "programs that auto connect to a private network" would be one and the same no ? What about when we use our private network to connect to the internet (via router etc) ??
as I say, I find the entire windows mobile networking system a mess, very confusing and have never gotten vodafone live working properly.
btw, my phone is HTC Touch HD
Many thanks for any desperately needed help
Update...
If I setup the phone to use just "My Work Network" under both "programs that auto connect to the internet" and under "programs that auto connect to a private network"....
and then manually setup vodafone under the "My Work Network" device as follows...(using my local vodafone settings)
1. add new modem connection
2. name it (vodafone etc)
3. select modem to cellular line (gprs, 3g)
4. enter apn "live.vodafone.com"
5. username and password - "vodafone"
6. under "My Work Network" setup proxy as 10.24.59.100
7. under advanced set socks to 10.24.59.100:1080
Then it works. I can disable wifi, enable data connection and browse the internet.
THE PROBLEM here, is that if I go into college, and use my phone over their wifi, the proxy server gets changed thus disabling vodafone all over again.
So, it works if you set it up manually under the "My Work Network" device. But I need it set it up as a seperate device so that the proxy doesnt get messed up. I have tried editing the auto created "vodafone live" device, it just wont work. I tried editing the "my isp" device but that has no proxy setting.
Can anyone please help me make any frickin sense of this. ?

Hidden GPRS connection

Hi,
I have a hidden connection (Name : MMS) in my connection manager(Made automatically) which I see it is for MMS. Is it possible to make it visible?
The problem is that when I am trying to make connection from laptop it is using automatically this connection (by *99#).
Thx
to view the settings of the hidden one (its not really hidden, you can only see one modem connection at once)
Mine are 'mobile web' and 'o2 active', with o2 active being the hidden mms one, replace mine with whatever yours are called.
settings menu all settings connections connections advanced select networks
change the dropdown from 'mobile web' to 'o2 active', and you will find when you jump back to the tasks tab it is now showing the hidden one, and you can access its settings by tapping 'manage existing connections'.
Of course, now the original one is hidden and your programs will try to use the mms one, and probably fail.
