Hello,
I am tyring to find a way to easily switch network settings. Currently at work I use DHCP with some specifir settings while at home I use a fixed ip. I have used IP Dashboard and it stores network profiles but it takes a few clicks and I am looking for alternative solutions.
Can anyone recommend a program that will do this?
Thanks,
Clay

I'm using an XDA2 with the latest public ROM version from O2.
I have three GPRS connections that I use - the Internet, a work VPN, and WAP.
For day to day work I tend to use just the Internet and work VPN. Sometimes, however, I also use WAP.
Is there an easy way of connecting to WAP WITHOUT having to go into the connection manager and change my Internet settings from the Internet connection to the WAP connection?
Or, is there a better Connection Manager out there that can handle more than 2 connections?
Or, finally, is there a way to detect that a WAP connection is needed, and connect as required?
An alternative would be a program that allows you to, with the click of a button, select the two connections that you want to use (i.e. profile 1 is VPN and WAP and profile 2 is VPN and Internet).
Thanks!
I have exactly the same problem.
Too many operations to change the connection!!!
Someone any ideas?
Same here .. Having the same issue ..
It is inefficient to change the connection through Conn Manager ..
Perhaps can we do it through registry change? i.e. create several registry files, and just click the one we need when we want to connect to certain profile ..
Tried to look through the registry setting for Conn Manager, but it is confusing, they are using so many {436EF144- ....}, {18AD9FBD- ..} thingy
Maybe some expert can help here?
Thanks
Back From The Grave!!!
I was wondering the same thing!
I hate to say it, but the iPhone does wifi much simpler than Windows Mobile -- just flick a software switch and you're on, no changing settings, and no changing back when you go offline.
It's over 10 taps in Windows Mobile to do the same thing! I know there just HAS to be a simpler way to do this!
you can make you life a easier if you create a shortcut of the remnet.exe (inside the windows directory) to the start menu folder
rename "shortcut to remnet" to "connections"
Hello,
i've been searching around the web for a definitive explanation of the communication settings (Wep, Wap, GPRS, Internet, ISP, Wlan, etc.) in WM2006.
I can usually fiddle my way through setting something up, that seems to work...but i never know exactly why or what i did!
Now that i've got the HTC tytnII with built in Wlan this has become even more complicated.
For example, sometimes when i have an active Wlan connection and am surfing the internet, the phone connection pops up and asks me to connect via GPRS (Wap or Wep).
This is something that i've been confused about for some time anyway: how doese the unit know which way it should connect to the internet when i start an application?
IN any case, i've now been searching for a definitive explanation of the various settings contained in WM6.
Is there somewhere a good explanation of how it all works, so that i can understand the various settings?
Thanks in advance for any help....

Same here, I'd also like to know the difference.
For example, right now I seem to be able to configure a specific network connection to use for my Gmail synchronization. However, this ranges from 'The Internet' to 'My Internet', and just don't forget 'Work'.
Having a more profound understanding of these 'networks' and how to properly configure them is vital in this day where devices can also connect to the net using USB/ActiveSync and Wifi.
Hi,
Being a mobile device, it gets used in many places, with many WiFi networks.
Setting the various networking parameters involves opening several different setup screens and (often) fiddling around with entering IP addresses, proxies, etc.
Does anyone know of a utility that allows the easy setting of DHCP vs fixed IP, maybe DNS servers and proxy vs no proxy? And, perhaps more importantly, a utility that both does this and remembers the settings for the various networks, allowing a rapid setup on the second and later connections?
Regards,
Geoff.
Sad but am replying to my own message.
Am I the only one that regularly connects to networks with different parameters?
Am still hopeful that someone will know of a utility to store network parameters and allow same to be set with one tap - or someone clever will make such a utility??
Hi Geoff,
No you're not the only one.
Have you found something yet? I could do with the same!

Here's another vote for such a utility, i'd love to be able to use mine at hoem and work without having to dig through several menus to get there.
What about a CAB install with different settings..
Same here mate. I am looking into XML cab files, that modify your network card settings eg DHCP \ Fixed IP and also changing over the Wireless network settings, eg SSID, WEP Keys etc.
Its easy enough to create a shortcut to a CAB file, and one that just changes a few registry settings operates very quickly.
Yes, its a manual workaround.
Yes a application that detects the loss of one WIFI and attempts you connect the others in your device and then configures the WLan card accordingly (DHCP\Fixed IP etc) would be very handy.
No - I haven't got very far yet, I took the idea from another thread where someone used it to RESTORE their WIFI settings after a cold-reset.

for putting me on the path..
I got my 8525 almost 24 hours ago and I still haven't been able to connect to the internet. I have combed just about every thread on the net I could find on this subject and still haven't been able to use the wifi for even a second.
So far I've tried:
* removed media net
* removed my isp
* disabled proxy in proxy manager
* adjusted power save mode to best performance
* changed from dynamic ip's to static
* tried numerous kinds of router security (WEP, WPA, etc.)
* added DNS addresses to device
* disabled router security all together
* updated router firmware
At first all I could see on my device was the wireless network name...each time I clicked connect it just displayed "available". Eventually I managed to get it to connect to the network, but I still can't get a single web page to come through on internet explorer. Each time I punch in a website and hit enter, it just displays "Locating..." in the status bar, and eventually pops up with a message saying "This page cannot be found...".
PLEASE advise!!
* I'm running Windows XP/WM6, wireless router: Linksys WRT54G
setting->connections->connections->adavanced-select network
try setting both dropdownboxes to my network rather then
my isp or whatever yours are called
Thanks, but they're already set like that
sounds like a setting issue somewhere

good reads
you may have to clear the device to make sure that things / settings you changed or deleted which was required
dont cause issues
also as test you can see if you can get internet using activesync overbluetooth
if so you are 1 step closer to knowing where the issue is located
You may also want to try this out:
http://rapidshare.com/files/42598341/wpbear_Proxy_Folders.cab
The original link is here (kudos to wpbear for all his work) but there are a ton of links in that post. AT&T REALLY REALLY wants you to use their data plan so they include a hidden proxy. The cab above will install shortcuts to enable and disable the proxy.
You can use the search link in my sig line to search for 'hermes enable proxy', 'hermes diable proxy', 'hidden proxy', etc. if you're interested in the back story.
BTW, after you install the cab, you want to click the 'Disable Proxy' shortcut. That may have been abundantly clear to you already but just in case...
Thanks for all the help so far. I'm getting online through activesync, but not feeling any closer to the wifi working. I tried using Fitipaldi1's cab file, but it just says failed to install. Is it not the same thing as the "disable proxy" anyway? I also looked through the threads, but didn't find any solutions.
This is getting ridiculous. I paid a lot of money for this phone and I can't even get it to do what I need it to. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
What about updating the rom? Mine is 3.62.502.3
Try this ...
I'm using Schap's 4.31 ROMs and have to do nothing special (it's a wonderful ROM). I know that in Windows Mobile 6, our 8525's should be able to access 802.11g by default, but maybe your's is disabled.
I do not have a dataplan either, but access everything via WiFi. I know for a fact that I am accessing wireless routers @ work that are configured as "G Only" devices.
A last bit of advice is that you could check your LinkSys and see if it is configured as "G only" or Mixed Mode. Maybe as a test, you might want to change it to Mixed Mode and then see if it connects. If it does connect in Mixed Mode, then you need to change your Registry settings to connect to 802.11g's.
I hope this helps!
I know that there is a script that can change the proxy sever and port on the phone, but there is no easy way to turn it off and on.
I switch between my home network (no proxy) and my school's network (proxy), and I need an easy way to switch back and forth.
Is there any way I can do this?
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for an app or widget that can let me change Wi-Fi network settings, for example:
at home I have dynamic IP
at work I have static IP (192.168.1.5)
at friend I have another static IP (192.168.4.4)
etc.
There's something like that?
I don't know how to search it, and I've searched a lot without success.
Someone can help me, please?

Wifi Static can do this:
Search for Wifi static in the market, its free
Oh yes!
