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

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 ..
I use GPRS on the run and BT over ActiveSync at home to access the internet on my Qtek s100.
Everytime I change it I must go in to the network settings..
Anyone know of a tool that sits in the lower bar that let me change it directly ..
If not.. anyone have a idea of a faster way to do it ??
Thanks .. Carlis
I never change the network settings, but instead go through the Active Sync application on your device. It has a Connect via Bluetooth option in the Tools menu.
This works for me.
Skip
Yeah .. I use that way .. but the problem is to select which network that used to reach internet ..
on def its YOUR ISP.. I have to change it to MY WORK NETWORK.
If I dont .. it connects with GPRS when I start Pocket iExplorer..
I want a shortcut on the homescreen (or lower bar utility) to:
Start /Settings /Connections /Connections / Select which networks are automatically used.
.. Carlis ..
I don't have to change my network settings, Active Sync seems to take care of this automagically.
My Magician only has one connection setup, which I call GPRS Connection. This is what it uses by default. When I'm connected to Active Sync, it seems traffic is automatically routed through it.
Skip
Hm .. that works for some apps .. others dont..
Anyone kan give me a tip here .. It should be nice if all net apps used the active network..
Make sure that in Activesync you have passthrough enabled when connected to internet
Activesync - Tools - Options - Passthrough ; make sure you select 'the 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?

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

same problem, doesn't work with htc diamond... if somebody has an idea, please post! thx a lot!!!
Well I think all comes from WM6 and above....
that su*ks ...
If anyone know a third party tool allowing to do this
Not sure why it's not working, but until yesterday (when I was still using Windows 2003SE on my XDA2S) my XDA2S made a network connection as soon as I put it on the cradle. When I used IE to access a website all was working fine.
Now when I try to do this with my just new flashed WM6 setup, I can not get it to work.
My router does give IP's out (with DHCP).
I've even tested it with a fixed IP (same range as rest of LAN) and gateway in the NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver (start > settings > Connections > Network Cards > "NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver"), but also with no luck.
The main OS that I'm using is Vista, but I did not change a thing in this.
(firewall off)
Doing a sync of the PDA is no problem, and I can even see my other PC's on the LAN when I use Resco Explorer's > "My Network".
Wifi is also working fine.
When I ping the PDA from Vista by "Device name", I do get a reply back, but the IP shown is not one that should be in my LAN.
It's 169.254.2.1. My LAN is all in the 10.0.0.1 / 255 range.
Anyone here who might know what I'm doing wrong?
i got the same problem...on my wm5 i wass entering my network with wi-fi but im not very good knowing networks...so maby someone who can solf this can tell us..
regards
Same problem here!
This is no help to you but I have the same issue
On WM2003SE I only had the 192..168.0.x IP address, now on WM6 I get them both
This seems to cause conflict when I try and update RSS feeds whilst cradled, any ideas anyione
And yes I have read the Wiki to no avail ...

That is correct.
With WM5/6 and ActiveSync, the BA is given a private IP in the 169.254.2.x range, and ActiveSync acts as a bridge between the rest of the network and the phone.
Your router will not hand out an IP to the phone when it's connected to the computer via USB. WiFi is a different situation, and would get an IP from your router assuming it associates with your wireless LAN.
Look under:
settings -> connections tab -> connections control panel -> advanced tab -> select networks button
Make sure that "programs that automatically connect to the internet" has a network selected that has the 'this network connects to the internet' box checked under proxy settings.
Thank you for your reply jdc,
Unfortunately this did not work for me.
I've got under the Connections > Advanced [Select Networks] the following:
- My ISP
- My Work Network
When I hit the My ISP [Edit] button I end up on the Modem settings, and I see only my GPRS connection.
The only two tabs available at the bottom are General and Modem
When I hit the My Work Network [Edit] button I end up in the Modem tab.
Nothing is in this. Other tab's that I see are General, VPN and Proxy Settings.
In the Proxy Settings I do see the "This network connects to the internet", and I'm able to select it.
Problem is that as soon as I hit OK to close "Settings" and go back to the settings again the "This network connects to the internet" is un-selected again.
I'm about to give up on this project.. Who needs internet anyway when the PDA is in the cradle..

Yes I get a "The page you are looking for cannot be found due to unknown error 0x80072f78" error.
Googling for 0x80072f78 does show a lot of info, but till now no fix for me.
I had the same error, and i fix it with change this registry:

If so, I do not have AllowLSP in it!

Understood, and in Vista AllowLSP can not be found anywhere in the registry (it must be an ActiveSync 4.5 setting).
To go back to XP for only this, is a no go for me..
Thank you for your help.
From this forum:
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/activesync/137666-fix-unknown-error-0x80072f78.html
it looks like the reg patch is working on vista home premium as well.
You can try it, and revert back (delete registry entry) if isn't working.
Looks like the patch is manually adding the "needed" AllowLSP.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000

Yes, and now with the new WM6 and the "skin" than I'm using it does look new again.
Only problem that I'm having now (not related to this topic) is that sometimes I can not get WiFi to go on.
It does turn on, but right away off again also :/
Whatever way I try to set it to on.. No luck.. And than all of a sudden it's fine again..
Old problem since WM5, switching wi-fi on is tricky sometime. Has also happen to me on WM2003SE; probably the wi-fi driver isn't the best part from BA.
Thanks!
DANDANA - I'd have your babies if only I didn't hate children, thanks for the tip, it works perfectly!
XdaIIs - the WIFI thing is known about and somewhere on the forum there is a workaround. Sorry, I've lost the link :-(
Thanks again, I'm a happy bunny now!
I just installed BlackBerry Connect v4.0.0.104 on my Raphael and it works great. I am recieving my mails and can browse the net through the Internet Explorer but all other applications which require internet access such as Opera, Weather, IMs, etc. have stopped working.
I went to Settings -> Connection -> Connections and it was empty even though my phone showed it was connect to EDGE (small E on top of the signal bars). I then created a new connection with my carrier's APN settings and connected it. I was then able to use all the other applications but the blackberry service got suspended.
From what I understand the BlackBerry Connect application connects directly to the blackberry server without creating a dialer in Settings -> Connection -> Connections so even though its already connected the non-blackberry applications think there is no connection.
Secondly if I create a new connection it disconnects the blackberry connection.
I want to know if anyone has figured out a solution for this. Is there a way to create a proxy to link to the blackberry service or something?
Thanks in advance.

You should be able to enable multiple simultaneous APN connections. I have done this on my Kaiser and use BlackBerry Connect. I must admit though I have never been able to use IE over the BBC APN connection when using the 'BlackBerry Browser'. I assumed this just set some Proxy settings?

I apologize for being so hasty. I tried your suggestion and it works even without 3G. Thanks.
I thought that simultaneous connections were not possible with just EDGE but I was wrong.

Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContex
There you will find several numbers. E.g. 26202 for Vodafone in Germany.
The number is a combination of MCC / MNC so 262 02. You might find you operator in this list:
http://surfio.de/info/mcc_mnc/mcc_mnc_liste_6.html
What happens is if your operator is not in this list there will be a key created with no contend. I inserted in there by copying from one of the others:
GPRSContextNumber = 3
UMTSContextNumber = 3
This is the source for the value of NetworkContexts in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Cellular\RIL\
Just set the Contexts value to 3 and delete the NetworkContexts entry. It will be created from the source above with the value 3.
I am so happy that I finally found that out. That was such a pain for a long time. Hope that helps some others as well.
