Ok if I do a flash of WM6 Vanilla everything works fine I can brows the web via wireless connections and whatnot, I then run a cab supplied by shotgun that is supposed to add the approprate connections for Cingulars MediaNet service in the US and the SMS stuff... Once I do that my internet browsing with wireless no longer works...
I'm new to all of this so I dont know if its something simple and stupid I'm missing but any help is appreciated.
Ok... well....
I think I got it on my own, I just used the wap.cingular settings to setup a Media Net connection. That works and so does my WAN connections for browsing the web too. So I think I'm fine.

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
I have a proxy setup to allow me to connect to T-mobile's internet. I noticed that when the proxy is enabled in connection settings, my wifi does not connect to websites. However, when I disable the proxy from my gprs connection wifi works fine.
Is this normal? Is it maybe a bug with the rom im using?
Normal.
...
I have searched everywhere and instead of starting another post on the same issue I will post on this one.
I have the same issue, and understand its normal. Is there a way around this because re typing in proxy settings just to go on gprs internet is a annoying and incovienent. I want to be able to go on wifi and have everything work fine. When I disconnect wifi I can then access the internet via gprs proxy.
AT&T included both an enable proxy cab and a disable proxy cab...
However Im in the process of moving and my main computer is down...
When I get it back up I'll pull those cabs off of the phone, perhaps they will work for tmobile..beats going into the connection settings...
After all of this I found a fix.

Someone should really sticky this because this helps so much especially since I like not having to pay for my T-mobile internet via the proxy. Now I dont have to delete the proxy. My activesync and wifi work flawlessly as well as GPRS Edge.
Why can't I load any web site?
I am using 8525.
I upgraded wm6 yesterday. But I can not open any web site on IE altough it is connected to my wireless(unsecured) at home.
It works well when I use 3G service. What's wrong with that?
It is really annoying me!!
Anyway I have pda unlimited data plan. But I wanna know why it doesn't work if I use Wi-fi.
Help me..
Turn off the proxy and ensure that you have allowed IE connections to work on the wireless connection.
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.
I just upgraded from tmobileweb to the total internet plan, and I am using an unlocked at&t 8525. The only way I can use anything on the connection on my phone is if I set the access point as wap.voicestream.com and set up all proxy servers to 216.155.165.50.
I thought as soon as I got total internet that I wouldn't have to set up any proxy settings on my phone. Any ideas why my phone is doing this, or am I completely off on my assumption on the total internet plan?
you should be able to use internet2.voicestream.com as your access point for all data transfers except MMS. for MMS you still need to se wap.voicestream.com

try that link and copy the settings they recommend for the Wing.
I tried the settings for the Wing on that site, and it still doesn't work. I tried to test it out using Internet Explorer, and when I try a simple web site it immediately gives me an error stating it cannot connect with current connection settings.
When I do connect on a WiFi connection, everything works fine. When I had it set up with proxies and all, IE would use a WSP protocol in the URL (wsp://www.google.com) whereas the WiFi connection would use normal HTTP (http://www.google.com).
With some reg edits, it works!
UPDATE: I contacted T-mobile Tier 3 support and they were as stumped as I was. On a hunch, I kept the setup without proxy and had the access point to internet2.voicestream.com, and tried Opera. It works like a charm!
I recalled a spot on the HTC Tytn WIKI about hard-coded proxy settings for IE. This made sense since everything else seemed to work except IE. I went to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings and removed the 'EnableAutoDetect' key completely.
Did a soft reset on my phone, loaded up IE, and it works like it should be. Now I'm very very happy!
