i think you kinda need to describe how you would log in from a desktop pc for people to understand your problem as some just require a WEP/WPA key and off you go
kkayyyzz...
when connecting to the internet on a laptop, a log-in box pops up, for u to write in your username and password from the college,
i would write somethin like MidKent/roham n then input a password on a laptop.. but no pass box to pop up on a pda?..
Have you tried opera mini yet as a browser? Works for me out here.
You can get it here
mini.opera.com
Version 4 works fine on the Universal.
He might be talking about a domain login. How you login depends on certain variables and we need slighly more details.
I would download HTC Network program and start from there. WM6.1 Allows Domain logins as well.

On a PC, you can go to http://wap.oa.yahoo.com, and login to your yahoo account to read your emails, etc.
If I do the same from my XDA2, it says "Unable to connect: Ensure that your modems are present and inserted correctly, and no network card present".
If I try this with any other web site (e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk) it connects and works fine.
Does anyone else get this, and does anyone know a way around it?
Thanks!
On my XDA, http://wap.oa.yahoo.com works fine.
But WAP stinks on a capable device like the XDA or XDAII. Why not use http://www.yahoo.com instead, or set up your Inbox to download your Yahoo headers and/or messages?
can i realy do that?? setup INBOX for yahoooo???
please show me how! i couldnt even set the outlook express on PC to do that!
thanks a million.

You can only do this if you pay extra for POP3 access to Yahoo emails - which I don't want to do as this isn't my primary email account.
Also, going through http://www.yahoo.com means you get all the ads, graphics, etc. Even over a GPRS line, this makes it quite painfull.

I just got a new XDA II and I could access Yahoo without problems. After an involutary hard reset all the O2 stuff got installed (seems it was not installed the first time I used the device), and now I'm having the same problem as you're describing. Has O2 added something "clever" so that if it sees "wap" in the path, it thinks it should use a wap connection? In any case I can't find these settings and delete it. I want it to work as it did before the hard reset! Help!
Try wsp://wap.oa.yahoo.com insted of http://wap.oa.yahoo.com
HTTP = PC
WSP = WAP
8)
cheers
WSP doesn't work either. Probably because that signals even more to the computer that you're trying to establish a WAP connection, which I don't want to do and which isn't set up either. The funny thing is that it worked before the hard reset, and I never had any problems on my old XDA I.
I managed to remove all the O2 stuff from the extended ROM, and after a hard reset, I can now access http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail again! Once you access http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail, the path changes to http://wap.oa... and from this point on it complained. Until I removed the O2 stuff. So now I'm happy it works, but I'd still like to know what settings O2 infiltrated to stop it from working. Does anyone have a clue?

I think it have something to do with Connection settings and or Registery settings for Browser ID string (User ID String)
example:
Of youre browser ID is "Mozilla/4.0(compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; PPC; 240x320)" Than you w'll get a diffrent page if you have something else.
After I changed my Browser ID (to see more free stuff from orange GRPS/Orange World) I cant get the colored page of Yahoo Too.
Can you post here youre Browser ID please?
To see youre browser ID string, Visit http://www.showip.com on youre PPC, and let me know please.
Cheers
I just bought an XDA2i and am having the same problem with the mobile Yahoo site. Since nobody has managed to unlock the extended ROM in XDA2i yet , I cannot remove the O2 stuff that is causing the problem (forcing a different connection for web adresses starting with "wap"). On my XDA2 i could unlock the extended ROM and remove the O2 bits, and this solved the problem. With XDA2i I'm stuck...
I posted this in network forum but I don't think anyone reads that forum so I thought I'd try my luck here....
I'm trying to connect to a network share that is on a domain controller so uses domain level security/authentication instead of regular local computer authentication. When I try to connect to the computer I get an Action Failed message "Cannot connect shared path. The specified network resource or device is no longer available."
I checked through event logs on the server and it looks like the login/authentication went through just fine but the wm device seems to be rejecting it somehow....
Does anyone know what I might be able to do to fix this? Kind of a pain, I would like to be able to connect to my server's shares.
Thanks
and again no one replies
*cry*
How are you attempting to connect to the server shares?
Using what method?
PocketLAN?
I.E.?
Even though you authenticate against AD there should be a local administrative account on that box, try logging on using it. Also what are the permissions on that share, do you have access to it and is your account part of that domain?
Just my $.02 try using z2 PocketLan..
I've used it for quite a while on my Axim, and now on my 6800.. It allows you to connect to a network share, you supply it with your login credentials (Active Directory) and save the connection. It also comes with a bunch of other handy stuff like an IP range scanner, ping, yatta yatta ..

I use Resco Explorer and it doesn't seem to have any problems at all connecting to network shares on our domain controller at work.
i just tried on my domain, i can connect to shares on other pcs and servers, but not on the DC, maybe theres a setting that doesnt allow connections from non domain members
and just FYI, domain controllers dont have any local accounts
ya no local accounts... local computer accounts work fine but it won't connect using domain accounts to authenticate...
I'm not sure if this is a setting on the DC for authentication or if there is something I need to do on the wm device?
Zenoran: You still haven't told us how you're trying to connect. I can't tell you how to do it unless you tell me what sort of program you're using, or whatever. Capiche?
I use z2 PocketLAN without issue, accepts DC auth no problem. Do you use PocketLAN?

Oh sorry! Using Resco File Explorer... are there others I should try? I bought that program because it seemed to do everything. Will give PocketLAN a shot.
hmmm tried pocketLAN and it only locks up when I try to click on that server... bad bad...
something really fishy here because even non-authenticated user should be able to browse that server and see public shares... no one else have issue? maybe it's a server 2008 thing?
I noticed on DCDs new verision that has windows mobile 6.1 , that it has an icon under Connections called "domain enroll"

lol ya... that's a wm6.1 thing.. ive never been able to get that to work either. no posts for it as well that i could see... i guess no one does much domain integration with their titans?

the domain enroll is a bit of an odd thing, i cant even find much documentation on it from microsoft, but from what i can tell it just integrates with an exchange server, provided the server has mobile device manager installed
im not even sure what features it enables
My school has open wifi that anyone can connect to and uses a webpage redirection authentication system for students to login with their ID and password.
a webbrowser usually forwards you to like http://127.34.55.2/redirect/whatever.
My problem is that on my titan, i get to the webpage where you login your username and password, but after i hit submit, it does authenticate me, just reloads the login webpage.
My laptop logs on just fine, so I know I'm in the system. I also know im typing my usernam and password correctly with caps where needed because i hind peck type it very slowly to make sure.
I've used IE Mobile and Opera Mobile 9.5 , but both do the same thing.
Anyone out there know why its doing this and if/how I can login correctly?
Thanks,
Matthew

I believe both browsers have settings to allow cookies or session cookies. That needs to be turned on so that your web page can set the session cookies for authentication. There is a huge difference between the browsers on the phone and the browsers on your laptop.
I'm trying hard to like my x1, can anyone help?
Whenever I try to access OWA using either PIE or Opera I get a page cannot be displayed error. Anyone else seen this and got a solution? OWA works fine using my E90 S60 browser.
Thanks, Martyn.
Just tried it on Opera 9.5 build 15202 and it renders really nicely - pleasantly surprised!
Doesn't work in my Opera Mobile. Can't remember the build. It's the one with Manila favs from Itje's thread.
It works nice and is really fast (as always) in latest Opera Mini.

Try Opera Mini.
I'd not like to use Opera Mini for sensible sites
like OWA. It transmits logins over a proxy,i don't
think it's a good idea...
why don't you use Active Sync? You can sync it
manually and e.g. only for the last days. But for
the most it uses less traffic then visiting
the OWA site everyday...
Better yet, set up your push email. It keeps a HTTPS session alive. You just need to install the certificate on your PC to set up the sync, which you can get from OWA.

How?
Will it work without OMA (mobile access)? I don't think so. We don't have a frontend server to support ssl connection from mobile devices, and I'm pretty sure I've tried everything.
If you have a magic way to make it work I would really like to know.
I've been having the same problem...
...and I tried Activesync, but I get a 'certificate' error. I can't figure out how to get the certificate on my device.
I spent days searching the web for an answer... and I gave up after a while.

If you have the .cer file, you just copy it to your device like any other file and run it from there. It should install. I had a few weird cert errors when trying to get mine to work but random poking and prodding seemed to get it up and running eventually.

To be honest, I don't know, I'm not the exchange admin.
My company's fairly tightfisted when it comes to IT expenditure, so I'd be surprised if they forked out anything extra.
A cursory glance at MS's documentation implies that it shouldn't be necessary because as far as the exchange server is concerned, it can't tell the difference between WinMo's client and a regular web browser. I stand to be corrected by someone who actually knows what they're talking about.
Try installing the cert and setting up your server in Active Sync. It should just work.
I had problem in my work getting this working but after a clean install of OWA on our front end server everything worked properly. The only think needed on the X1 was to import the cer file if you going to use Exchange/Active Sync connection as someone has already suggested.
IE and Opera always worked it was just Active Sync which had problems.
I've just recently got an X1 and been trying furiously to get active sync to work. But as I don't have access to the exchange server at work, I've been trying to find out how to obtain a copy of the cert from my outlook.
Haven't been able to find anything, any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Grab the cert from the OWA website, cause it should be SSL encrypted. The browser shows the encryption with a small lock symbol. Click on it an get more information about the cert. When you opened it, open the cert for the CA shown on the last register. In there choose "save to file" and copy it to your phone.
On the phone open the cert with any file explorer, that will import it into the phone's cert store. From now your phone will trust your company internal CA.
This way is only useful, if your company uses self generated certs with an internal CA. You can see this, if your browser at home (the pc there has nothing to do with your company) show an cert warning, if you open the OWA website. If you really can't get acces to this site from the internet, forget all of the above
Brilliant! I'll give that a go when I get home! I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks again mcfisch!
I just realised what I did wrong the first time. Under server, I put the wrong address didn't I. However, I've come across another problem, Where it asks for the login credentials, there' username, password and domain, what do I put under domain?
Its all sorted now! I can't believe I was being such a dumbass! I was over complicating things way too much!
Happy days!!!!!!!!
Hi all,
I hope someone can help me with my problem. At the university if someone wants to use the wireless internet a login is required first. You have to open a browser windows, type the URL and before you can see the first page you have to enter your identifier and password. After that you can use the internet until you turn off your wifi. The next time you turn it on you have to login again. Sometimes I just want to check my mails and I don't want to wait until Opera Mobile loads and go to a page, login, close opera and check mails in Outlook. Is there a way to write some kind of script what I just have to run and after succesfully login it just closes itself? If it's not a difficult thing can someone write such a script or tell me how to do that? I have a KS20 with WM 6.5.
Thx,
István
