Hey guys,
Strange problem I got here... I connect to internet via WiFi, use any internet app without any problem, except for Pocket IE and Outlook. I have no idea why is that so because few weeks ago all that worked fine!
I suppose Pocket IE doesn't know about existing connection, it doesn't seem to try to use it (no "Locating..." or this sort of stuff), just "Connecting..." for 0,25s, then "0 kB" for 0,25s, that's it!
Maybe you've experianced sth like that, I don't feel like hard-reseting my Wizard again...
Thx, TroLoo
Get Net Front for PPC v3.3 Much better.

Hi All,
Got myself a Dopod 900 (HTC Universal) a couple of weeks ago in Singapore, very pleased with it, luckily my pants have large pockets
But... I can't get online by WiFi. GPRS works well enough, but i'd rather not have to pay data fees when I can avoid it!
Anyway I can connect to several different wirelss networks with various access points and routers, but can't open any website or log onto MSN. Connection to the access point is fine, IP address is provided by DHCP, but it looks as if the DNS server is not (even manually specifying the server does not help). When I open IE, the status bar shows Locating.... for about 15 seconds then I get a connection lost error.
And it's the same even if I'm running activesync (I could get online on my XDAII this way)...
So, has anyone experienced something similar or can point me to the obvious configuration that I missed, I would be mucho grateful. 8)
Well this gets stranger and stranger... After installign pocket mechanic I could verify that the DHCP lease was working properly, IP, DNS and gateways are all assigned properly. But, still no IE, still no MSN. Installed agile messenger for the heck of it, and although it gives a lot of connection error in the beginning, I am able to get on MSN.
So, any thoughts? I did a hard reset already, to no avail...
Situation solved, sorta... Installed Opera, works flawlessly... Seems pocket IE just does not like me

It's not just you.. I have the same problems... (You can see my msg in the Universal forum.. Same **** as yours. PIE and MSN would not work as well as any other internal prg using PIE's engine someway or another.. Third pary networking prg work though, dns is fine, ping is fine, name resolving fine.. i don't likw opera and wonder if you solved this weird problem..
Also if you can tell me the list of today plugins and programs installed you have.. i want to see if there's a correlation between your situation to mine...
thanks,

Hi All,
Recently, I bought a QTek 9100 and I absolutely love it! However, there is one issue that I did not find a way around it yet. It is very well possible I am doing something wrong, and not something with the software, and I hope you can help.
When I connect to my computer at work using ActiveSync, I can access the internet from the QTek only with Pocket Internet Explorer. Other applications, such as MSN, Skype or other thirdparty software, does not seem to be able to connect.
What could I do to fix that?
Any help appreciated,
Cheers,
Arno
Hi Arno,
I have the Orange SPV M3000 and upgraded the ROM to the latest Dutch version from Orange (2.18.1.3 NLD). When I connect the thing via ActiveSync, after some moments it complains about not being able to get an IP address. It is a warning box with the title 'Pocket PC Networking'. However, I am able to surf from within IE; sounds like the same problem.
I would love to hear what the reason and fix for this behaviour could be, if someone encountered this before, thanks.
Might be the same issue indeed. However, I am not getting any IP error messages though. It connects fine, it runs IE fine, syncs fine. It is just that other applications do not seem to be using that connection.
Maybe I need to set something up in the Conn Mgr or something, but I could not find out what exactly...
Hi,
yesterday I field-tested HitchHiker (latest available version) on my Wiz, and it worked quite well. The only problem - one I had already experienced with the earlier ROM version - is that after using it once the Wizard begins behaving strange. Namely:
- Slower menu response
- Softkeys sometimes not working
- The power button takes several tries to actually get the device off
Is this just me, or is somebody else experiencing the same problems?
I'm beginning to think the problems come from some inter-app incompatibility (who knows... maybe HitchHiker doesn't like the G-protocol enabler, or something like that)... any suggestion/solution?
Also, I'm welcoming suggestions for other wardriving apps WITH a sensible option to connect to found APs (WiFiFoFum, in example, is very stylish but won't allow you to select a specific AP to connect to when you want to)...
Thank you in advance for your help!
Well, I don' know about hitchhiker but like you, I came to be very dissapointed with wififofum so I switched to Wifi companion and I'm very happy with it, no glitches whatsoever
Wifi companion was pretty good but my trail ran out but after I sorted out the Hitchhiker crashing problem (make sure you register your MSN details, although you dont actually have to connect) I havent had any issues at all, seems quite stable.
Huh?
Are you saying that adding a profile in Msn Messenger makes Hitchhiker stable?
It makes no sense at all... but since even HH's installation is crazy, I'm trying it anyway...
I can vouch for that post about Pocket MSN registering.
I don't know what it is.
When hitchhikers goes to connect to a wifi point, it tries to connect to google to verify connectivity on the wifi, and then it sends up a notification saying connected.
Just before that notification pops up, my hitchhiker would always crash. That is until I filled out Pocket MSN info (After seeing to do that in another thread)
I know it's crazy. Doesn't make any sense what so ever.
Worked for me
Just tried it and it works fine. Just another way MSN is encroaching on our lives :lol:
He's pretty unstable, always mumbling to himself...I'm afraid he might try to off me further down the road :shock:
I can't believe it, I just read this topic..I never got HitchHiker to work..now I simply registered my pocket msn, and hichthiker connected! without a soft-rest or anything HitchHiker depends on pocket MSN!? its unbelievable.
I always loved the simplicity of the prog, but after connecting acociating etc, the connection was lost. Just register your MSN and the damn program works..VERY strange!
EDITED: I'm running the 2.17 basic ROM from the ftp site and I love it, except for the fact that IE will not load any pages through WIFI or ActiveSync! BUT... Agile Messenger works perfect through each!
All of the above works fine through GPRS (slow though!)
The stock ROM (1.08 I believe) did not have this problem at all. I've read all over the place that this 2.17 is the best ROM out there, most stable, etc.
:x
Please help
run your 8125 under the faucet. theres probably dust inside that needs to be washed out.
LOL

@Tweker: DO NOT DO THIS!!! It is just a joke.
@Everyone else: With a dim bulb like Tweker reading these forums we must be more careful about our jokes.
Yeah, that was a complete waste of a post. LOL
Anyhow, here's an update:
Agile connects and operates just fine through GPRS, WIFI, and ActiveSync. But PIE wont even load a page through WIFI or ActiveSync, it will only work through GPRS (very slow).
That is very odd, since Agile connects perfectly fine!
As I said before, this was never a problem on the 1.08 stock ROM. It's been a problem on almost all the other ROMS I've tested (2.17, 2.21, 2.25)
Are there any registry keys that tell PIE where to look for default connection?
The device connects just fine to my WIFI, and like I said, Agile Messenger connects and runs perfect. So this isnt the standard problem that a lot of people have posted about their WIFI not working at all, and/or trying to use proxy.
HELP!?
Another update:
I'm still having this problem. Cannot find a fix. PIE still will not work through the usb active sync or WIFI!!
But Agile Messenger does!!
I've tripple checked all settings. WLAN is set to "The Internet". Network Cards are set to "The Internet". ActiveSync is set to "The Internet".
Those settings were set that way on other ROMS and I never had a problem... I'd really like to stay on this ROM because it's my favorite by far! Except of coarse for this little problem!
Come guys - help!!
Internet Explorer will not load any pages through WIFI or ActiveSync!
Agile Messenger does connect and works perfect through each!
Any ideas??
Hi. First of all, I have a uk sim-free X1 with t-mobile. My contract also includes web'n'walk which I selected so that I could use msn messenger and sites such as facebook anywhere I wanted without a wi-fi connection.
However, I've realised that my msn messenger will only connect via wi-fi and will not sign in if I'm using the data connection. This is strange as the data connection works fine for everything else, e.g whether updates, youtube, and opera browser.
I did search the past threads but didn't find an answer as most were about the other problem of not being able to use msn via wi-fi.
I'm hoping that there is an answer out there...Please help me. It's like the one thing that would make my phone almost perfect! Ty in advance.
That's weird! Because mine just connects with data connection and not via wi-fi.
Whenever I try to connect to msn via wi-fi, msn tells me that there is a connection problem :/
I get that same connection problem sign when i try via the data connection
I have the same problem - although I don't use msn that often - it still irritates me.
However, I discovered yesterday that fring works fine - if you install fring, you can use that to access msn - looks a little different, but works with a data connection.
Do you find your data connection to be slow - mine reminds me of the old dialup - I was expecting something more akin to broadband speeds
Good luck.
Gopes
P.S. If you do find a solution, please post on here.
Yes it is quite slow...but still i would be very thankful to find a fix for this issue!
Mine used to only work over wifi, then suddenly started working over data connection too, not sure why.
The only thing I know I've had to change was to untick the proxy option for the Tmobile connection as with that on gmail wouldn't work, maybe that helps with MSN too?
Overall I've found Live messenger pretty poor, it's very slow, especially to scroll contacts.
I've tried Nimbuzz, that allows access to everything, even Facebook and MySpace.
