I have my O2 mini to connect to Exchange Server, however, it won't connect automatically (my settings is at every 15 minutes). It kept generating the following error:
"unable to connect, verify your dialup or proxy settings are correct, and try again. Error code: CONNMGR_36"
However, if I connect the GPRS manually first, and then manually press the Sync button for Active Sync (at O2 mini), ir works just fine.
Please help. It drives me crazy to manually do this all the time!
Thanks, William
I think you're connect to gprs using work profile in network connections. Thats why it is checking dial-up username, proxy setting and others. Change the connect ot ISP for activesync. Also you can keep GPRS always connected. Why you need to disconect GPRS?
Thanks for the reply. where do you change the settings so that activesync will connect ot ISP? I don't see any settings/options at all at the activesync tools menu.
Also, how do you keep the GPRS connected all the time? My GPRS got disconnected from time to time.
Sorry for all these questions. I am a newbie at pocket pc (just transfer from my good ol' palm to the awesome o2 mini).
Thanks again,
William
To change that go to setting > connections > connections > advanced > select network. Chosse internet programs "My ISP" and go back to Tasks in connections and configure you gprs connection details in "My ISP".
Your GPRS disconnection issue you have talk with your provider support. Mine I will never disconnect it.
still not working. Activesync still won't connect automatically, but manually works fine. Any tips?
i have an i-mate Jasjar wm5, I am using USB activesync cable to connect my device to my desktop PC. I would like to access the internet using LAN-DSL in my office.
Any idea or suggestions on how to do it?
Suggestions, insights, or any kind of guidance is highly appreciated.
unless you have set it to block it
then your device connected to activesync will allways have the same
lan network access as the pc
you prob have to change connection in settings->connection->connection advantage and pick mynetwork rather then my isp

thanks for the quick reply. activesync (v4.5) is on the exceptions list of windows firewall, hence it is not blocked.
My Work Network connection settings (modem and VPN) is empty. do we have to input any settings on them (modem and/or VPN)? On the proxy settings - I checked the box for 'This network connects to the Internet', I did several tests on unchecking/checking the box on 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet' - tried both IP of my desktop PC (192.168.1.12) and default gateway (192.168.1.1) on ports 8080, 80. I noticed though - the box for 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet' - always goes unchecked everytime I go back to check the settings.
i did several test settings, but it doesn't worked either. always it says 'This page cannot be displayed, connection was lost check settings'
any idea on these? thanks for your time
guess you could try changing the dns to what the pc is using
and try with other applciations like the network tools ping
and messenger to see if it's a IE issue
I also want to connect to internet through activesync 4.5 usb
hi, i have the same problem, i want to connect to internet through activesync 4.5 and wm5 herms. i am not good a computer use so could you please guide me step by step. i can synchronize but can't use internet.
if its through the office network, you may need to play with some settings to "fool" the office network to let you out.
The way to check what im talking about is to download http://johnhaller.com/jh/mozilla/portable_firefox/ portable firefox, and see if it connects by default. In my office, i had to input the LAN proxy settings into firefox to make it work. If this is the same for you, then i guess you'll have to do the same on the PPC. If you do find that this is the problem, and you cannot connect with firefox, post back and ill see if i can help
Turn off "Advanced Features"

There's a setting in ActiveSync "Advanced" and uncheck the box. See if that helps. It apparently has helped others with USB connection issues.
rightclick on ActiveSync icon on systemtray --> connection settings... ---> config as my pic you can access internet thought your PC. If you still can't connect to internet please hardreset your PDA
Okay, this has been bugging me for a long time, so I decided to solve this by myself once and for all.
Situation:
1. GPRS requires a proxy connection
2. WiFi and ActiveSync (A.S. on PC when connecting to an Exchange Server) "inherit" the same GPRS proxy settings, and are unable to connect to that proxy server, which make them both unusable.
So, naturally, I configured "The Internet" connection to use the GPRS access point and the GPRS proxy,
And "My Work Network" to be an internet connection WITHOUT a proxy.
But for some reason, that doesn't work.
The connections tab doesn't let "My Work Network" to be a "proxyless" internet connection.
I tried many configurations, trying to fool the wifi connection, until I got to a final solution that works.
The wifi knows to pick the connection without the proxy, so does the activesync, and so does the default GPRS connection, when no other connection is present, automatically!
So, the solution is this:
1. Go to the Start->Settings->Connections->Advanced tab->Select networks
Under "Programs that… Internet should connect using"
Click New to create a new connection:
Name for settings: Direct Internet
Modem: Leave Blank
Proxy Settings:
This network connects to the internet [Check]
This network uses a proxy [Uncheck, or Check and fill in your home proxy settings]
Click OK.
2. Under "Programs that… private network should connect using"
Click New to create a new connection:
Name for settings: GPRS Internet
Modem: Click New, and follow the wizard to add your GPRS access point.
Proxy Settings:
This network connects to the internet [Check]
This network uses a proxy [Uncheck, or Check and fill in your GPRS proxy settings]
Click OK until all windows are closed.
3. Now we need to get WiFi and AS to use the "Direct Internet" we created.
Go to the Start->Settings->Network Cards (Or Wi-Fi for some OSs)->Network Adapters tab
My Network card connects to:
set "The Internet"
(This will make your Wifi choose the "Direct Internet" connection, with the proxy you specified, or without a proxy)
4. On your PC, Open the Microsoft ActiveSync Window (Make Sure you have ActiveSync 4.5 or higher)
Click File->Connection Settings
This computer is connected to:
set "The Internet"
(This will make your ActiveSync inherit the "Direct Internet" connection, with the proxy you specified, or without a proxy)
That’s it, you're done!
The beauty is that Windows mobile knows it needs to use the "GPRS Internet", only when other connections are not present.
Now you don't have to mess with selecting a proxyless connection when connecting to a WiFi source, or using activesync
thank you very much for this, has helped very much.
i think this is a brilliant work around...... thank u soooooooo very much... i have been banging my head endlessly to try and find some solution to the problem i had.... and nothing could have been better than this....
:cheers:
Shlomki is there any way i can force MS Exchange to use AS when cradled? coz somehow it connects using GPRS even when cradled and connected to AS...
i'm happy to hear it helped you both!

if you followed the steps exactly as i described, exchange SHOULD use AS (your PC's internet connection). that's how its working for me right now.
when cradled and connected to AS, did you try browsing to a website to see which connection it tries to use? try to use PIE and see if it tries to connect to the GPRS or the PC's internet connection.
if it uses GPRS also, there might be a problem with your settings..
Repeat stages 1 & 4, they are critical for that matter.
Try stage 1 without entering a proxy server. just uncheck the proxy settings and check "This network connects to the internet".
Shlomki do u think i should uncheck enable advanced networking in settings--> connections-->USB to PC....?? do u think that maybe the problem creator?

when i complete step 2 [without checking proxy settings] and go back to see if this connects to the internet is checked or not it is always unchecked even though i check it some seconds more... am i doing something wrong here?? i dont think my GPRS connection uses any proxy settings...

yes, it happens to me also. i think thats the way they intended it to be.
when you use a proxy with the work network, it doesnt uncheck the internet option.
are you using a proxy at all?
no i dont use a proxy..... i connect to the internet using a cable modem... n between the cable modem and the PC is my netgear WiFi router...
then why did you follow a post that's inteded for proxy connections
just select your proxyless gprs settings as your internet connection, and set active sync (on the pc) and network cards (on the ppc) to use "the internet".
im sorry if i didnt make myself clear.... i had proxies... since ur method didnt work i changed the whole setup on my PC and now i dont use a proxy...
but ur post was very informative nonetheless..
thank u again

Thank you so much for this work around. You don't know how long I have been fighting this problem. What an elegant solution!
I think that I might try to abuse this to let other porgrams connect using T-mo GPRS since it seems that only web works when the Proxy is on, and other things work when its not.

are you using wm6?
wm6 roms have a known issue with connecting to some secured networks.
try to set your router to allow unsecured connections and reconfigure your wifi settings in your ppc.
if it connects fine, the problem is with the wifi drivers.

read the manual again, from start to finish, and do not skip a word.
if you're not using a proxy in your "Work Network Settings", this manual is not for you.
Guys,
I'm hoping somebody with some time can just help me out here. My Touch HD is on Vodafone (UK) and I have some issues with connectivity.
I have a home wireless network, along with "Contract Internet" provided by Vodafone. If I start by telling you what I'm after. I basically want all my applications to use my "Contract Internet" network (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA) by default, providing that there is NO active Wifi connection or USB connection. If there is, it is to use that.
Now the problem I have is that the only way I could ensure that my device connected to a) my home resources and shares (pc's and printers) and b) connect through my wireless router for gateway access to the internet (without the net attempting to launch GPRS connection) was to set both "Programs that automatically connect to the internet....." and "Programs that connect to a private network...." connection networks (Start, Settings, Connections, Networks, Network Management) to display "My Work Network" - this seems to allow that....however, when not connected to wifi, the GPRS or Contract Internet connection launches fine, but doesn't allow access to lots of applications which normally would utilise the network....only the internet works. Windows Live, RDP, you name it.....it doesn't work....unless I switch back the "Programs that automatically connect to the internet....." connection to "Contract Internet"
Ideas...help...please!
Cheers in advance
**bump** Please - at my wits end!
