I have both a wired and a wireless LAN setup. My PC that I have ActiveSync installed on is configured to Auto-detect the Proxy settings on the network (there is actually an ISA Server acting as a proxy on port 8080). Whenever the Wizard syncs with the PC it changes the Proxy Settings to my ISA server name and port 80. This obviously doesn't work since the ISA server is only listening for Auto-proxy requests (WPAD) on port 80. Group policy on the network overwrites any manual proxy settings that get configured on the PC so if I change the Wizard manually it gets overwritten by the PC settings when it is sync'd. The result of this is when the Wizard is connected Wirelessly I have to manually change the proxy settings to be able to access the Internet.
Is there any way around this? I have had a look to see if there are any settings in ActiveSync (on the Wizard and the PC) and can't see anything.

Hi , i am very new to pocket pc and so far its been good until i decide to use my HTTP proxy server with pocket ie,
firstly i dont get why pocket pc has My isp and My work sections on connection settings
secondly if i setup an gprs apn to isp section i cant use or add proxy server settings to it, if i create same apn on my work network section i can add and use my proxy server, thats ok i went advenced section and changed both (programs that connect to internet and private network) auto. used networks to my networkbut now if i try to get my emails with my ppc outlook can not connect to internet unlesss i change first setting ( programs that connect automaticly to the internet setting) back to my isp and if i do that pocket ie wont use my proxy server, is there any way to use porx server on pocket ie?
i have found my answer:
"Any user or ISP that uses a proxy and still connects directly to the internet will not work. The proxy assumes all connections with a dot in the name go to the proxy and that the proxy supports socks or winsock to connect. So company's that use a proxy to speed up access to the internet like when you use wireless will experience issues with e-mail due to this issue. So with the connection to Work, you can get to the web but no otherservice. So if you set it to The Internet then you can get e-mail but no web. "

I need to set up proxy for wi-fi connection, however in WM5 I can find proxy setup only for modem connection... how and where could I set up a proxy?
Do you mean an internet proxy? If so, then go to
Settings > Connections (tab) > Connections > Advanced (tab) > Select Networks
Choose your connection method here - ie, Orange World or other
Then click "Edit.." and select the "Proxy Settings" tab.
From here you can specify that the connection will be used to connect to the internet (via any method - be it GPRS, LAN or Wireless) and you can check the box and specify a Proxy Server IP address.
When I connect to my work machine via active sync, it automagically picks up my work's proxy server IP and changes this configuration for me.
I hope I didnt miss the point here.. Good luck

Yes, it picks it up for me as well (via USB activesync). However the following happens when I go wireless - all application which don't require proxy (mail, skype) work, except for HTTP. Of course I listed all protocols in the advanced proxy configuration...
Well I dont have that problem im afraid terramax - when I move onto the wireless I always ensure the 'use proxy' checkbox is unticked before i turn on the wireless.
Also if im having trouble starting IE first seems to help (altho this seems like bull****!) :?
I have similar issue to terramax. Skype works, internal sites with "proxy exclusion" are fine but IE mobile on my Treo Pro can't negotiate the proxy server at work (authentication dialogue doesn't even pop up). What really does my head in though is we have some HP handhelds running WM6 and they handle the proxy authentication fine.

it might be the solution
I connect to various access points in schools no problem but I cannot get internet because I can't set the proxy server correctly. On a PC its tools/internet options/lan settings. On Mobile 5 if I got to settings/connections I can set a proxy server in My Work Network/set up proxy server but this does not work. Also it does not give a port number. If I go to advanced I can, but it still does not work.
So on desktop computers this is easy, just open up browser set up your proxy servers and done.
The only settings I can see that set up proxies on the kaiser are for GRPS/Dial-up/3G. But that's already set by my cell provider and it doesn't require a proxy (to my knowledge)
But I'd like to be able to access my home proxy when I'm using wi-fi (at home or away from home) I just can't find a way to set it in the system.
If anyone knows please let me know.
Thanks
i wish to know the answer as well
In Settings, Connections you can set up two Automatic connections 'Internet' & 'Private'. Typically these are 'My ISP' and 'My Work Network'. In the Private network settings you can specify your proxy. You then need to edit your WiFi settings for your Home WiFi - change the 'Connects to:' to 'Work' (as opposed to The Internet). When you connect to your home WiFi it should use the proxy specified.
Be careful with ActiveSync or Sync Centre as this can change these settings each time your device connects to your PC (change the connection settings in ActiveSync/Sync Centre on the PC so that the option 'This computer is connected to:' is NOT set to 'Automatic'.
Windows Mobile also supports Proxy Auto Detection as well. If this is the same as Windows proxy auto detection then it relies on either DHCP being configured to send Option 252 with the URL of the Proxy script and/or DNS with a host record or alias for the WPAD host in the devices domain - i.e. wpad.network.com.

i have to insert manually every time my proxy on the niki to use the active sync. when i disconnect and reconnect the phone there is no more proxy and i receive an error from active sync untill i insert the proxy manually. has someone else the same problem... is there a solution??
Hi,
Under Connections -> Configure Proxy Server -> Proxy Definition -> Advanced, there is a list of types of proxies that can be configured - HTTP, WAP, Secure WAP and Socks.
I need to use the HTTP proxy and it works fine but everytime I am done using the connection, I need to go back and reconfigure the proxy server settings !! Why does the server settings disappear ?? and where can I configure it such that it doest not vanish again !?
thanks
