I need a java enabled web browser for my Wing. I have an application I run on my LAN and it (unfortunately) uses Java. I have the Wing set up for WiFi and can get a connection and an IP from my LAN. I disable my data connection and leave the WiFi enabled. When I open Opera (Mobile and Mini), they will always initiate an EDGE connection. Herein lies the problem - it will not allow me to access local LAN resources. When I use PIE, I can create an exception for my local LAN resources so it won't fire an EDGE connection and just use my WiFi, but as you all know, PIE isn't Java-enabled. Opera has no ability to setup any type of exceptions or anything like that. Anyone have any thoughts?
Maybe you can stick with Opera. I think you can tell it to use WiFi by do the following:
Settings > Connections tab > Connections > Advanced tab > Select Network
Choose "My Work Network" instead of "Data Plan", then doesn't matter what application you use, it will use WiFi instead of connecting to EDGE

OK, so the internet settings in WM5 are a real hell to deal with.
Is there some kind of a network profiler (like Mobile NetSwitch for desktop Windows)?
I want to be able to switch between settings. For example, I have a wireless network at home with automatic IP settings. I also have the USB commection that uses a proxy. In the uni I have two wireless networks with different settings. I want to switch between locations with different setting.
How the hell can this be done?
in the start-settings-connections tab you can choose the connections icon, then set up different connections "under add a new modem connection". then select the advanced tab and select the network manually for the connection you then want to use at that time. When you want to use another connection, you have to go to start-settings-connections-connections -advanced again and mannually select the network you want to connect to. Not very easy to do quickly, but the only way I have found to switch networks...
I need to set up proxy for wi-fi connection, however in WM5 I can find proxy setup only for modem connection... how and where could I set up a proxy?
Do you mean an internet proxy? If so, then go to
Settings > Connections (tab) > Connections > Advanced (tab) > Select Networks
Choose your connection method here - ie, Orange World or other
Then click "Edit.." and select the "Proxy Settings" tab.
From here you can specify that the connection will be used to connect to the internet (via any method - be it GPRS, LAN or Wireless) and you can check the box and specify a Proxy Server IP address.
When I connect to my work machine via active sync, it automagically picks up my work's proxy server IP and changes this configuration for me.
I hope I didnt miss the point here.. Good luck

Yes, it picks it up for me as well (via USB activesync). However the following happens when I go wireless - all application which don't require proxy (mail, skype) work, except for HTTP. Of course I listed all protocols in the advanced proxy configuration...
Well I dont have that problem im afraid terramax - when I move onto the wireless I always ensure the 'use proxy' checkbox is unticked before i turn on the wireless.
Also if im having trouble starting IE first seems to help (altho this seems like bull****!) :?
I have similar issue to terramax. Skype works, internal sites with "proxy exclusion" are fine but IE mobile on my Treo Pro can't negotiate the proxy server at work (authentication dialogue doesn't even pop up). What really does my head in though is we have some HP handhelds running WM6 and they handle the proxy authentication fine.

i dont know if anyone can help me with this or i am just being thick and its allready possible to do, but i am having a horrible time with setting up my applications and using the internet.
I use quite a few applications that ask for either a network (Resco for acessing my files on my computer) and also the internet (mail, PIE etc).
i cant seem to strike a balance between these programs and the possible connections (Wi-fi / gprs), if i set up my internet connection as a proxy with the deatils for my acess point at home then i can get my files on my comp and acess to the internet. but as soon as i leave the bubble of my home then everything goes haywire.
is there a way to set up a hieracy and advanced rules for what connections to use for what programs and when? and possibly an option to ask before dialing a gprs connection?
any help would be great
thanks all
I have a HTC S710, and does anyone know how I can use IPsec VPN? I've got Bluefire VPN wich supports it, but when I try to connect it says
"The Connection Settings do not allow a VPN connection to be established. The device may be configured to use the same network for both The Internet and Work. Please verify the Connection Settings and try again (-71)"
Ive looked all over for this sort of settings, but havent been able to find any. Anyone to help?
under wm6, have a look at settings - connections - connections - advanced - select networks
the settings for internet and private network must be different
for internet, i have "my isp", for private network "my work network"
with these settings, bluefire works in my university vpn network
under wm6, have a look at settings - connections - connections.
Here's just an empty list, I can't seem to find the "advanced" option.
I have deleted my GPRS account, because it kept onlining, and I want to use VPN over Wifi.
In advance, thanks
settings - connections - connections
there should be two headlines, "my ISP" and "my work connection", these are built in
"advanced" is a tab at the bottom of the page
How is it possible to add an exception in the proxy list.
For example in Windows XP, you go to:
Start -> Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections Tab -> LAN Setting -> Advanced, and you get whats attached.
How do you add this address into an exception on Windows Mobile 6.1 (I'm using a Sony Xperia X1 with IT-Touch v7.1).
Many thanks..

Go to Settings, Connections, Advanced and open the Exceptions list. You can then enter URLs that you don't want to go via a proxy for. This works in conjunction with your current Data Connection or WiFi. The logic seems to be - If you have a WiFi connection active and it is set to 'Connects to: Work' then the URLs will be connected to directly over that WiFi connection. If the WiFi is set to 'Connects to: The Internet' then a VPN connection to your Work will be attempted over the WiFi (assuming you have one defined?). If you have a HSDP/3G/GPRS connection active then a VPN connection will also be attempted but over the active HSDP/3G/GPRS.
The URL list doesn't just work for HTML pages via IE, if any application attempts to locate a host that is in the URL list it follows the same logic as above - unless it has it's own hook-ins to the OS and forces a connection itself.
I have only one entry in my URL list and that is the DNS domain name of my Work network - '*.work.domain/'. This seems to work well for me.
That's my experience of it anyway.
