I've recently signed up for T-mo Tzones package which works pretty well for what I need. I've heard that I could use my MDA to connect to my laptop via bluetooth DUN and surf the net on my laptop. If anyone has done this, could you share your settings please?
What I've done so far...
-connected bluetooth DUN with computer
-dialed *99# and left login id and password blank
I am able to connect successfully but the internet on my computer doesnt work. What could be the problem? Thanks for the help.
You can try replicating the proxy trick on your computer...
not quite sure how to do that.... but there must be another easier way shouldn't there?
Well T-Zones net access is redirected through a proxy server by T-Mobile so your not going to get it online unless you go through that proxy server. If you don't want that hassle you should subscribe to the plan designated for the MDA/HTC Wizard which dosen't need the proxy server... enough rant...
Search the Forum for the T-Zones proxy hack/trick and i'm sure you'll find the proxy address and port. In your browser/other internet app set those settings in them and see if you get online. I can't tell you if it will actually be replicatable on the PC (though i see no reason why it can't) as i use T-Mobile Internet for the MDA so i don't need a proxy (i.e. i can't test my advice).

You need to find out from the service provider the access point name for gprs connection, username and password, and domain if applicable. Once you have this information and if the gprs is functional, it is smooth sailing. for browsing, you must find out if your isp requires proxy. if so, you must configure proxy settings in the connection manager. msn messenger works most of the times without proxy. it is possible that if web browsing requires proxy, you can't connect to msn messenger with the same connection settings.

I have the same problems. Nobody in Spain knows how to set my o2 to work in the Internet using GPRS. I asked the providers by their ****ing short number (It was vodafone) But There are no any specialists at this country. They can do NOTHING. They do not know anything. I asked everybody at different provider´s offices but I haven´t had the right answers. HELP ME PLEASE to SET MY O2 TO WORK WITH INTERNET IN MADRID.
They gave me different variants of "access point name", username, password and so on. But no one of their settings work. I´m ready to change my provider, that vodafon. I´m ready to do everything to get right settings to get to the internet. Help me please. I can not live without my mobility.
What are you guys using to connect to the internet? I can do everything I want with T-zones unlimited, using the proxy... however, if I use the proxy, I can't connect to wi-fi because it wants to try to connect thru the proxy. What services are you using and what are your settings?
Thanks,
Danny
i will use
I wont get my MDA till monday according to UPS, but when i get it i plan on getting the Total Internet plan for 29.99. it includes GPRS, EDGE and Hot Spots. That is the plan the tmobile is advertizing with this phone.
I have the T-Mobile total internet package. I am not using the proxy server, and it connects to Hotspot just great.
However, I have not tried to access T-Zones. Well, I tried once, and got a network solutions 'page coming soon' thing. I doubt I have it correct. lol
hot spot
how does the hot spot autentication work?
im assuming they made it so i wouldnt be able to just put in my username and password on my laptop and log it into a hotspot.
I have unlimited internet 19$ plan.
I don't use any proxy server.
I don't think you can use the regular t-zone on this phone ($9 plan).
Otherwise all good, just use: internet2.voicestream.com in the gprs setup and the rest emty.
my 5.99 tmobileweb with proxy works very well with any website using internet explorer mobile. it doesn't work, however, with outlook or any other mail client or application that doesn't know how to use proxy. i'm glad that virtual earth 1.5 works well even with my tmobileweb plan.
as for the problem that the original poster described, in the connection settings, i created a connection especially for wifi. and to switch between wifi and tmobileweb, i go to 'select networks' and choose which ever connection i want in the two drop-down lists that i have.
Proxy Setup
msafi,
What are the settings for setting up the proxy? I used the proxy with my Nokia 6600 just fine, but, cannot get it to work on the MDA Wizard.
Thanks, SK
anybody know how to do this? im going to my girlfriends house and im bringing my laptop and they dont have any wireless connections in the area so i wanted to connect my cell phone to my laptop n use the GPRS/EDGE to get internet on my laptop so any advice would be great!
Do a web search on 'MDA' and 'modem' AND 'the-name-of-your-provider' (mine is T-Mobile)
The steps for the first 2 terms are nearly the same, but the key is the settings that are specific to your provider.
i have tmobile as well
Just to let you know, on t-mobile you have to set up the same proxy in your web browser on your pc as the one you use on your phone when connecting (216.155.165.50 - HTTP) or it won't work. As for setting up connection sharing, if you're using WM6, just run internet sharing, if you're using WM5 though I can't help you cuz I never used it when I had WM5.

This is not necessary. Both my Firefox and IE are set to 'Direct connection to Internet'. No problems.

The proxy IS necessary for tethering using the $5.99 tmobile plan.
THe proxy IS NOT necessary for the "Total Internet" or Unlimited Internet plans.
hey, ive been scooping on here for a while and this is my first post.
ive searched for over an hour and i havent found the answer.
i downloaded internet sharing cab and installed it, it runs fine on my wm6, but when i connect it to my laptop using usb, the laptop cant get the IP address.
it eventually says limited connection on my laptop. any ideas?
TIA
Cliff
I can tell you from experience (i connect this way) that you don't need to install anything on your laptop exept for active sync (i think the latest one is 4.5) after you do that you enable internet sharing in your wing ( start/programs/accessories/internet sharing) after you enable it you connect your wing to your laptop, at that point your laptop should regognize your phone as a network connection. you can now browse the net.
if you're on the 5.99 proxy there is one more step. you have to configure Internet explorer to use the proxy. I don't remember everything off the top of my head but I think it goes like this settings/ connections tab/lan settins/proxy server
from there you just enter the same proxy and port that you did on your wing. you should now be able to surf.
the thing is, my phone is unlocked and im on the cingular network. i have all the settings for it. internet explorer works on my phone.(i get internet on my phone)
when i connect it to my laptop, it detects it like its supposed to, BUT it doesnt get the IP address. if you have anymore info, let me know
thanks
Cliff
Ok i have a wing and internet plan. I try to connect my laptop to my wing via USB but my laptop wont get online.
Will my wing assign the laptop an IP?
Do i need to configure anything on the laptop to get online?
I have active sync working but when i select connect on internet sharing it drop my active sync connection.
This is what works for me...plug the USB to the phone (but not computer) then start the internet connection & make sure it's (NOT) plugged up to the computer...then it wil say ( check USB cable) on your phone...THEN plug in to the laptop and it should work

Does internet sharing show "connected"? Are you using the correct data connection?
Its working now.
You MUST disable your active sync first. That seems silly to me.. but whatever its working great thanks..
Mine disables Activesync, the moment I hit connect on my phone screen....
does this work on the tmobile 5.99 plan?
i get this error message when i try...
HTTP ERROR: $CODE$
$MESSAGE$
RequestURI=/

I 2 get this message wheb trying 2 use internet sharing on my lapton with the t-zone 5.99 proxy "hack" any way 2 get around this????
I've never used the hack, because I've always had the data plan... so I don't know... I don't think it will work properly, but again, I've never dealt with it personally.
Has anyone out there using the hack been successful with this?

yes i connect with the proxy on a regular basis, you have to set IE to work with the proxy. assuming you have IE7 tools/internet options/connections tab/lan settings and check the box that says "use a proxy server for you lan" once you do that enter the same proxy from you r phone along with the port ( 216.155.165.50 :8080 )
you will now be able to surf with the proxy, just remember that when your home and connect you laptop to your Wlan or whatever you have you have to go back into the settings and uncheck the box "use a proxy server for your lan" because if you dont IE will still be trying to reach the net through the proxy server and you will have no internet, the only draw back is that you will have to check and uncheck every time you switch connections.
now i never use anything other than IE so i dont know what programs can reach the net on the proxy.
You Can Do The Same Thing With Firefox
(i Love It Personally)
Much More Faster Than Ie Also No

I still can't seem to figure it out. Which connection do I use?
