Hello all. I have a siemens sx66 with ROM 1.33.10 running on Tmobile in the NYC area. I have no trouble connecting to GPRS with the unit and accessing the internet. I use the internet3 settings and have been provisioined for VPN through TMO. If I try to connect to my small ofice LAN through GPRS and VPN it seems that I get a connection(desktop shows inbound connection established) but can not view or even ping any of the network resources in either of the two network browsers I have. It seems to me that my trouble is in knowing how to properly configure the connection manager.
As a way to rule out the subscription or network in general, I installed the SIM in a GPRS modem on my laptop and successfully connected and accessed the network resources.
If someone could give me detailed instructions for configuring the connection I would greatly appreciate it. We can start from the point that I have a properly configured GPRS internet connection in the MY ISP section of Connection Manager and nothing more. It will have to be easier than trying to correct anything I had already done with the VPN connection.
Thanks!
Alright - I got a very odd problem.
I can go on websites through an EDGE connection just fine, however when I connect to my WiFi, it would not go to any websites. I can check email fine through WiFi, connect to AIM... but no websites through Pocket IE. When I go to connections, I noticed that I don't have the "The Internet" connection anymore, but when I try to set one up, it says that it already exists. If I make a custom connection and check the "This connects to the Internet" and then press okay - once I go back into the settings, the check mark is gone... I don't know what to do or how to fix it and its annoying as heck... help someone?
bump!
Someone please help!?

Yeah but I have the unlimited MediaNet plan; wouldn't that render it useless sorta?
edit: i tried that, and now when i put it back on; the web browser wont load up any sites when i am using gprs
I got a unlocked Touch HD. I can turn on WiFi and go on line via Opera. I am currently using ATT. My network connection is Media Net. If I turn off the wifi then, I can not get any sites to open by just using my data plan. Under ADVANCED NETWORK do I need to diasable HSDPA/HSUPA. Can some1 tell me why the intranet does not wot\kr unless I'm using my wifi..
in settings, go to proxy, and try disabeling my connection requires a proxy, it should do the trick
touch HD opera internet connection (reply back)
I double checked and made sure the PROXY SETTING box was not checked and it was not. I still can only access the web via wifi. Any more suggestions.
I would talk to your IT guy, there maybe a reason you can't access the intranet, blocked MAC is one that I use.
block MAC....that's that. I am not trying to use my work site IP for web access. I have a data plan with ATT. The phone will not connect to the web unless i connect by using wifi.
Try start>connections>then connections wizards thing, sorry I got a dutch HD so don't know the english.
Mine was bend on choosing a different ISP than my own, after I use the connections wizard it rerouted my internet through a proper channel and I can access internet through my mobile provider, hope this works for you.
Please don't kill me but I want to know
HOW to make use WiFi instead of network on browsers and mail, once I connect?
once you connect you to a wifi network it should be just like using wifi on your computer.
a more specific question or example may allow someone to help you more.
The phone uses Wifi where possible by default. However as my push mail is running over the Vodafone Internet APN I have found some occasions where my browsing session wasn't using Wifi.
So I created my own homepage which tells me the IP address I'm on and works out if it's my wifi router or the Vodafone Internet. It also has all my bookmarks, which is a better than the built in solution from Opera.
If you aren't using the GPRS all day, try NoData which can block all GPRS usage.

Aha, the old friend from MySymbian
Well I'll try that NoData but good to hear X1 wants to use it by default (when connected). I don't use any push messages.
It's a Vodafone ROM thing. if you flash to another ROM it will work fine.
WiFi problem
No man, I have a Vodafone UK Xperia. problem with Wifi initially, then I've ROM it to the generic UK version...now it connects to Wifi but I cannot browse anything with it. The pages don't load and status keeps saying 'loading...' but nothing happens and after a min or so, a message saying that I have to check my internet connection...not connected!

Then you have your Wifi settings incorrect.
How come u say my Wifi settings are incorrect? How can I correct it? In wat way? my laptop etc connects to the Wifi fine...and the phone as well...but it just that the phone doesnt seem to load anything from internet when I'm connected.
First Check if you used the correct Key for your wifi if thats fine then ....
I've never had this problem with the xperia but I have had with other windows mobile phones it was probable because of older versions of windows mobile, if wifi is connected fine go to Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections -> Advanced Tab -> Select Networks, then select My Network for both drop downs.

Because you are unable to surf the internet, which points to either the settings entered incorrectly (normally when using WEP) or your router needs a firmware upgrade.
Ok here's a complete answer to my question
HOW to make X1 to connect to WiFi ONLY:
Install NoData (thanks for tip!!!)
Turn this on to NOT transfer any network data.
All the browsers I tried (Opera Mini 4.2, Opera Mobile 9.5)
automatically connect by WiFi, so it's great.
Email NOT. But it's enough to
go to email account settings and in advanced server settings instead of your providers network
choose "The Internet".
Violaa, the email account also connects through WiFi.
Hope that helps somebody
Where do i get no data please
There's one topic here called no data cab file!!
Just find it and it's there!
i got problems with my fritzbox 7270, too.
but i solved it.
just set the 802 adaptor manual to your wifi settings.
free ip adress in your segment, gateway, nameserver.
i think its a dhcp problem, with my 7270.
Hi, I've been searching for a while for a way to get my phone's WiFi to connect through my school's proxy server.
I've tried setting the connection in Network Cards to Work and setting up a connection with the settings for it, but Internet Explorer still can't load a page.
I read something about a default connection called Work in the Connections but I can't find it, however when I try to make one called Work it says one exists already
Has anyone got this working? It would be very useful for some of my classes and I'd like to have the net without booting my laptop up
Any suggestions appreciated, especially if you can tell me where to find the Work connection settings.
Aaron.
