Browsing certain website s with Internet Explorer 6.0

So I have the tweaks2k2 and I changed the browser to IE 6.0 so that websites will think I am browsing with IE 6. This has worked great with my banking sites that will not allow PIE.
I have a certain website I need to access and can not. Either with IE 6 glitch or with PIE. Is there anything I can do, or any program that I can use to access the website in question?
The website is www.ringcentral.com which is where I receive my faxes, so it would be great to access my faxes on the go. FISH

Today I have installed the final purchase version of Netfront 3.3 browser. I clicked on the link you mentioned and was able to fully open it. However going further required a log-in. Since I am not a registered user could not move further.
Why don't you give Netfront 3.3 a try. There is a free trial version available.
Hope this helpes
Regards

I tried the site in Opera (set as handheld and set as desktop computer, same as the IE6 trick) and in PIE, all work.

NetFront 3.3 for WM5.0 Viewed as IE 6.0
I have tweaks2tweaks set to make NetFront 3.3 show us as IE 6.0 and it is not working. When I go to Yahoo.com it is asking me to move to a higher browser namely IE6.0.
Can anybody please help with this - it is driving me batty!!!
THANKS...

In order to allow netfront 3.3 to behave as a real IE 6 you can write your own user-agent as follows:
1: Go to menu / tools / browser settings and the misc tab.
2: The user agent drop down list will be showing "Netfront v3.3 Standard"
3: From the drop down list select the --- and press edit
4: Under Title enter any name say Real PC
5: In the user agent field very carefully write the following keeping very special care of spaces and colons:
Mozilla/4.0 (Compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0/5.0) Opera 8.60
6: In appName write Internet Explorer
7: In appVersion write 6.0
8: in appCodeName write Mozilla
9: in Language / platform write en and pc respectively and press the ok soft key
Now make sure by navigating to tools / browser settings / misc tab that the user agent you have just written is selected in the drop down list.
You should now be able to access almost any website that the real IE can do. I have had quite a bit of success with this user agent and hope this helps you as well.

I have always used MultieIE and Opera Browser,
Multie IE takes over the pointless included PIE browser and adds tabs etc,
Opera a seperate program, although a little Large in Size its fine when installed to mem card.
effectively and this is active for my Nationwide Tinternet Banking, if a site cant be accessed by Multi then Opera will get it,
At work so cant test it on Multi at the moment, but i will update this post when i get chance,
**edit**
OK Using MultiIE I have been able to get to the homepage without problem but also i have no login details so cant really test it fully

Well, it doesn't need to be THAT complicated. Please read the NetFront 3.3 section in my article "TUTORIAL: Change the User Agent your Pocket PC browser uses to make Web servers think you’re a fully-fledged desktop browser!" at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=796&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 . It's full of screenshots.

MultiIE 4.0 is pretty OK, albeit, now, I'd recommend PIEPlus over it.

where can i get Multi IE or PIE plus ?

Pocket Wikipedia

Pocket Wikipedia, hand-checked selection from Wikipedia which is about the size of a fifteen volume encyclopaedia (24,000 images and 14 million words).
It includes the best of Wikipedia as well as many thousands of pages of extra material specifically selected to be of interest to children who follow the UK National Curriculum and similar curricula elsewhere in the world. The articles have been cleaned up and checked for suitability for children.
Works on PocketPC, Windows and Linux
Download from http://www.free-soft.ro

Fails on HTC Touch HD with Opera
On my HD, any menu item in Pocket Wikipedia launches the link in Opera, which is unable to process any further clicked links.
It seems PW launches the default browser, where it should really stick to embedding an IE control. Any PW links should trigger a decompression of the topic from the huge file, which doesn't happen with Opera.
Does anyone know of a workaround?

Same problem here. It starts Opera Mobile instead of IE.
I tried making Opera Mobile the NON-default browser (by unchecking the "set default browser" box in the setting menu). PW was able to launch IE but IE just got stuck with the screen helplessly blinking. No Wiki text! No messages whatsoever! Had to shut down IE manually.
Wonder if Anyone could get PW working.

There is big problems with special chars like é, à, î, etc...

I shifted to WikiPock, far better despite a little cost.. Works like a charm

Vodafone Live! on HTC Touch HD ..

Actual article present on my blog here.
I posted earlier about how to access the Mobile TV on HTC Touch HD on my blog here. But later I found out that method as an inadequate one to continue in normal usage. So I did some more R&D at home around this and found the perfect method of doing so !
So here you go now.
My HTC Touch HD has, L26 v9.0 WWE ROM and you need following software before proceeding further.
* AdvancedConfig – for doing the configuration changes on Internet Explorer User agent
* PHM registry editor – for making the changes to rtsp default player
Vodafone Live! runs primarily on S60 based devices and I had an excellent experience of it running on my earlier Nokia N95. So you need to try and ‘fool’ the system at Vodafone to assume your phone as a N95 instead of Internet Explorer running on a Windows Mobile phone. To do so, you need to change the ‘mobile’ user agent string of your Internet Explore browser to the one used for N95. Use the following steps to change the user agent string.
1. Run AdvancedConfig
2. Expand Internet Explorer option
3. Click on User Agent custom base
4. Change the value as follows
Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.2; U; Series60/3.1 NokiaN95/11.0.026; Profile MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413
Once you are done with this, to ensure that the change has worked, Open the internet explorer browser and go to the website http://www.useragentstring.com. Your browser should recognize your device as N95 using Mozilla Safari browser.
If this happens, then you have passed the first step!
Now go to Start –> Settings –> Connections –> Connections –> Advanced –> Select networks
Select “Contract WAP” as the default network and you are good to go.
Just to test if this works.. try accessing http://live.vodafone.co.uk via your Internet Explorer browser (in a Mobile mode, not Desktop mode) and see if it works for you.
It worked for me and I hope it would work for you.
However, I had one issue with HTC Streaming Media that the rtsp link would not play. Hence I had to go and change the default RTSP player to WMPlayer.exe by modifying the registry.
If you too are having similar issue, then open PHM registry editor and access the key \HKCR\rtsp\Shell\Open\Command. Change the default value from StreamingPlayer.exe to WMPlayer.exe “%1” and you should be able to view the streaming from your Windows Media player.
Try the above steps and let me know how it goes…

What .. no reply? :-(

Hey!
So, I have done exactly as you said, but no luck... the User Agent does not change. To be mentioned: I am using Dutty's XTREME v2.1. Perhaps the User Agent Code is stored in another place, not where AdvancedConfig expects to find it...

Dunno much about Dutty's ROM. I had it earlier and the above process did not work for me there .. probably because the Internet Explorer browser in there has a hard coded useragentstring in browser.dll
I tried the above on L26 ROM and it worked .. in fact to my surprise ... !

Hello!
Just an update. Everything works fine with Opera Mobile 6.5; there it is easyer to change the User Agent String. I replaced it with the string you gave and ... everything is working fine. Couldn't convince IEM6 to work, though! Ah, well... the procedure how to change to a Custom Agent String in Opera is described here: "In opera:config, User Perfs there is a setting called “Custom User-Agent”.". Good luck!

One question: where can I find this browser.dll in my device? Oh, and the quality of the live stream from VodafoneLive is lousy!

Thanks ...
I dunno about the browser.dll, supposedly in the Windows folder somewhere. I suggest you not to try and play with that, otherwise you will corrupt your IE forever.
I tried on IE first and it worked, so never bothered to try on Opera. Kept opera separately and in tact for web browsing ..
