oops sorry i posted in the wrong forum...

Hi,
One thing to check -
On activesync on your PC select options - rules , make sure you have selected your internet connection in the connection drop down.
I dont remember having to change any settings on the device ...

Hi Tony,
I definitely didn't set up a proxy server on my XDAII, so I'm pretty sure its not that.
Have you got a connection set up to use the GPRS connection on your XDA - under start - settings - connections tab - connections . I have a connection called 'My ISP' , which when I click on 'manage existing connections' has the modem set to use a GPRS connection. Again I don't remember setting this up, so it may be something O2 install from the rom. Try a reset and see if it picks anything up.
One thing I would suggest you do get when you are using GPRS is some sort of traffic monitor. I use Spb GPRS monitor (via Handango) and its well worth a tenner.
Hope this helps

Hi i just got my XDA2 today and I too can not get onto Internet through Activesync and pc just tries to call up on gprs
I have tried the above suggestion still no luck
Can any one help

I can connect to the Internet from my XDA II via the ActiveSync connection on my desktop PC. The connection was configured automatically by the XDA II when I first synchronized it with the desktop PC. The XDA II even automatically configured the proxy server setting to the one I use at the office.
Go to Start->Settings, select the Connections tab and click on Connections. On the Connections window, there should be two connections listed on the Tasks tab. Select the Advanced tab and click on the Select Networks button. On the Network Management window, the first drop-down list should have your GPRS connection selected and the second drop-down list should have your ActiveSync connection (My Work Network) selected.

Thanks Jargon got mine working now

Just follow the same directions I have already given. But instead of selecting the missing "My Work Network" connection, create a new one by pressing the "New..." button below the second drop-down list. Name it "My Work Network". Then select the "Proxy Settings" tab and check the "This network connects to the Internet" checkbox. Click on "OK" to close the window.

Internet Over Bluetooth Network

Hi,
I have wrote this wiki document and I wish someone gets his device connected to the "rest of the world" over a bluetooth connection.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=InternetOverBluetoothNetwork
FYI..
PS: Nice fiddling around..

Hi Subzero5
Great post , almost what I need .
I have the XDA11i and want to access the net via a blue tooth modem , which I plug directly into the wall socket . So far i have hit a big blank .
Any thoughts , can get the two devices linked but no further , cant get the XDA11i to tell the modem to dial ?

XDA <-bluetooth-> Mac <-internet ???

Hi from a newbie. I've just bought the TyTn11 and would like to use bluetooth to access my laptop's internet connection. Part 1 of your instructions were easy enough to follow but part 2 confused the hell out of me - not least because I don't have a Network Cards icon from Start > Settings > Conections >. The TyTn is running WM6 if that's any help. Any pointers would be greatfully accepted

it's
Start > Settings > Conections > connections > adcanced > select network
pick the item in the dropdownbox which is not called something like my isp or such
usualy the 2th item

Thanks Rudegar, I'll give it a try.

Hi,
I'm trying to get Internet over bluetooth working on my TyTN with WM6.
I've got bluetooth network access point configured on my Linux PC so part 1 is done.
In part 2 I've successfuly configured IP and DNS for Bluetooth PAN driver but I can't find the option "Join a personal network" in my bluetooth settings.
Actually I'm stuck in part 2 point 6 as there is no <u>Bluetooth Manager</u> link under bluetooth settings.
Any advice?

i just dont know what to do, help...

How about two pocket pc's?
I'd like to connect my bluetooth-enabled e800 through my hx4700,but there's no "connection sharing" that I can enable.Is it enabled automatically?

thankx mate for info but i have htc p3300 Start > Settings > Conections > connections > adcanced > select networkit show only ( 1 my work network)(2 my ISP)which i should connect????

Hi,
I can't find out how to access this on a HTC Touch (Elf). Can someone please help?
Thanks

SubZero,
I not sure if you're instructions are correct.
From you wiki page-
Part 2: Setting Up Your HTC:
1. Go to Start > Settings > Conections > Network Cards. This option doesn't exist!
2. Tap the adapter named Bletooth PAN User Driver. You will now see IP Address tab selected in the Settings.
3. Select Use server-assigned IP Address.
Could someone who has done it on thier HTC diamond please check this?
Thank You

ActiveSync 4.5 internet connection and Windows Mobile 6.0

Hi all,
When using Windows Mobile 5.0 with ActiveSync (4.2 or 4.5) the connected Universal (and other WM devices) uses the broadband internet connection from the PC.
With Windows Mobile 6.0 and ActiveSync 4.5 the PDA is not using the internet connection from the PC.
I don't know if this setting has anything to do with it, but checking/unchecking the ActiveSync connections option: Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop doesn't change anything.
Is this a setting issue or is Windows Mobile 6.0 lacking this functionality?
Thanks!!

Well, mine works ok.... definitely working through my pc's network connection (turned flight mode on to be certain).

I'm too. I can't update any software for my Exec from My PC. Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still no luck
Updated to ActiveSync 4.5 beta 2 and still no PC broadband internet on the Universal when connected.
Didn't try in flight mode yet.
Maybe this has something to do with the fact that Live Messenger also wants to connect by GPRS/3G only?
Is this some major issue or is it just me? I'm running the CB PDAVIET 2.00.04 PV PRO.

From Where I Can Download It ?

I just had the same problem. Here's how I solved it:
On the WM device, go to Start-->Settings and choose the "Connections" tab.
Click the "Connections" icon.
Under the "Office settings", click "setup a proxy server" and mark the first checkbox ("This network is connected to the internet" or something similar) but DO NOT check the second one.
In ActiveSync, under "Connection settings", choose to specify that "This computer is connected to the internet", and confirm.
From what I understood, this process is not... fully deterministic. By taking a look again to the Connections settings on my WM6 device, I see that the checkbox I selected is now unchecked again. Still, the internet connection works.
I hope that this can help.

Cannot connect to Internet via Activesync
Dear all,
I have a tytn II on activesync 4.5, I experience limited internet connectivity when cradled:
1. Able to access Avantgo server
2. Able to download weather for SPB traveler
BUT cannot:
1. Access Internet through Pocket IE - the device will go into 3.5G/GPRS/HSPDA to access
2. Cannot download weather info through the HTC plugin (Accuweather)
I did not experience any of this problem with the dopod838pro (on activesync 4.5 also). I wonder if this is related to the tytn II settings?
Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Solution for the unknown error 0x80072f78
Hi,
I had the same problem and running this registry entry in the computer fixed the problem with the connection between the PDA and the Computer
you can download the registry entry here

I dont know why but...now internet using activesync perfectlyworks fine.
I found this solution on http://www.mobilitysite.com/boards/activesync/137666-fix-unknown-error-0x80072f78.html

guys ihave tried 100 things, i have read 100 topics but i dont know what iam doing wrong... or what else i need to do...
connecting the phone with activesync 4.5 to a pc which has internet... but no internet on the phone...
what should i do?
thanks in advance...

You have the match the network location setting between your Wizard and ActiveSync (Internet Setting or Work Setting).
If an unknown error is prompted when you use IE to browser web page, add a Registry in your host PC HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AllowLSP with dword value 0

Try unchecking the advanced network functionality
that's located in the connection settings

WiFi and proxy

Hello,
I have HTC Touch, and I'm trying to connect to wifi with ISA proxy.
First, I connected to home wifi (no proxy) and accessed internet without problem.
At work we have Radius etc. but I also connected, and I can surf to pages inside company (no need for proxy), but I can't get out to internet.
Any suggestion would be great!
tnx
small update: looks like I was surfing at work through usb cable, not wifi. But now I can't even connect to wifi at work, which I could before. Funny things going on, I'll reset.
Update2:
Newest status is: wifi connected, can surf internal sites, but can't go outside company network.
I suspect that IE is not going through the proxy at all. Which implicates that I don't know how to setup IE to use proxy on WM6???

If you edit "My Work Settings" thru Settings -> Connections -> Connections you can edit the proxy settings there. Then you say "connect to internet" thru "My Work Settings". I may be wrong, but I think you need to reset the pda as well...

OK, here are my settings:
under settings-connections-connections, advanced - select networks:
"Programs that automatically connect to Internet should connect using:" My Work Network.
When I click Edit, under Modem, there are no entries.
Under Proxy settings, "This network connects to internet" and "this network uses a proxy.." are both checked.
"Proxy server" field is disabled.
Under Advanced:
Socks line has serverort next to it. Others are empty. Server and port are good.
I click ok on all and go to IE. Type www.google.com, it says "Locating.." and that's all. Internal web sites are opening ok.
I tried to turn it off, and back on.
Tried google, not working.
I checked all settings once again and tried then, still nothing.

This is a common problem and I have not found a solution for it myself yet.
The proxy settings are lost when you apply them, and the SOCKS server settings behaves weirdly.
Anyone knows what can be done?

i want to know how to do this too... my school is also using the same system.

still no update
no update ??

configfree from Toshiba
Dear,
I had an old E800 from toshiba where configfree is installed. With this program I can configure proxy for wifi in 10 sec and it works.
does someone know where we can find this program for other PDA. I want to try it on my Cruise.
Vincent

I'm also having the same issue. Can anyone help, please?

From my experiences I can tell you: THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE HTC AND HTTP PROXY FOR WIFI RUN. Neither with WM6.0 nor 6.1 nor a special brand nor the original firmware.
I have tried to inform HTC support, but I'm extremely pessemistic, that at least one will care. It seems to be not a WM related problem, because my WM6 ASUS doesn't have that issue.
There is a work around for browsers only: Don't use Pocket IE, use Minimo, because this browswer has it's own proxy setup. But it doesn't help you much, if you want to use other applications.
EDIT: Just to inform you, what happens, if you upgrade to WM6.1: The proxy settings are kept (HURRRAY) ---- but ignored completely It's _that_ brain damaged...

I can confirm the same "symptoms": proxy is totally being ignored on WM6.1. However, they're kept when you close the settings.

Proxy over WiFi works for me and has done with my previous HTC Wizard and now with my Kaiser. I have checked with a sniffer that I am definitely using the proxy over port 8080 (MS ISA 2006).
I have explained this before but this is how my device is setup.
ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre - Connection Settings set to 'This computer is connected to: Work Network' - Setting this to Automatic or The Internet deletes any Proxy Settings on the device when you connect it.
WiFi. My home WiFi SSID Network set to 'Connects to: Work'
Connections. 'Tasks' tab - Two settings 'My ISP' & 'My Work Network'. Advanced Tab, Select Networks. Top settings 'Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: My ISP'. Bottom settings 'Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using: My Work Network'. Under 'My ISP' I have the GPRS details for my carrier (Vodafone). Under 'My Work Network' I have a proxy defined with the Advanced settings configured - HTTP set to my proxy with the port 8080 and Socks set to my proxy with port 1080.
That's it and has worked for me since Windows Mobile 6.0 appeared for the Wizard. I used the same settings when I first got my Kaiser with WM 6.0 and now with WM 6.1 (more or less stock 5.2.19212) and it has worked every time.
