How to set up proxy for WI-FI connection?

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.

wifi proxy settings

Hi guys,
Well I have searched everywhere and found nothing.
Well my college has wifi but it uses a proxy to access the internet.
So in Internet explorer on my desktop/laptop there is a direct option in the lan settings to specify a proxy ip and prot.
how do i do the same for my xda2s running 5.0.
thanks

Hello,
The way to go about doing this is to set up a proxy server under Start> Setings>Connections>Connections. Under My Work Network, select "Set Up My Proxy Server" and check the boxes for "This Network connects to the internet" and "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet". Click on the "advanced" setting which should open up a window where you can choose your proxy port and enter your port address & numbers. Note when using pass through or any other connection that doesnt use the same proxy, make sure you turn your proxy port settings off (by unchecking the "this NW uses proxy port" check box). I hope this solves your problem.

Alternatively, a solution I've found which works is to use Opera Mobile - you can specify an HTTP and/or HTTPS proxy to use (in the form of hostname/iport) and then when you connect it just asks you to authenticate against it and boom: you're good to go.
No more faffing about with My Work Network, half the time I could never get connectivity with my Alpine when I did it like that (which meant it tried to dial up to the GPRS)... However if I'm not using Opera for one reason or another, I will use the My Work Network method with my TyTn. Both ways work just as well, I just think the Opera solution is neater because you can just set all your wifi networks as 'connects to the Internet'.

Can't get POP3 mail working with proxy

Greetings all, new user here with a TyTN issue.
I have a TyTN I am having trouble to send/receive POP3 mail while connected to Wi-Fi network with proxy server. I have searched web for solution but did not find anything specific, I hope someone can point me to the right direction here.
This issue only happens when I am connected to my work network. With my current setting I can browse web with IE but not send/receive POP3 mail. I receive following error message "Messages can not be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your e-mail account settings are correct. Then, try to download messages again.".
My wireless network configuration are
all default except "Connects to:", which is set to Work instead of The Internet.
My proxy settings are
"This network connects to the Internet" - checked
"This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" - checked
Under Advanced, HTTP proxy's port changed to 8080, Socks proxy port changed to 8080 with sock 5 selected, WAP and Secure WAP were left blank.
My IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter settings are
"Use server-assigned IP address"
I have tested my TyTN in free Wi-Fi lounges where proxy isn't needed, I didn't have any problem send/receive e-mail. I have also tested send/receive e-mail via GPRS, that worked fine too. Discussing this issue with our IT department, they suggested to change setting under IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi adapter to "Use specific IP address" and uncheck use proxy server setting under Network setup. I was able to send/receive e-mail when applying the above 2 changes to bypass proxy server. My question now is can I setup mail to work with proxy server instead of change network settings to bypass proxy server? Any help'd be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Kaiser: How to set up proxy server settings over wi-fi?

So on desktop computers this is easy, just open up browser set up your proxy servers and done.
The only settings I can see that set up proxies on the kaiser are for GRPS/Dial-up/3G. But that's already set by my cell provider and it doesn't require a proxy (to my knowledge)
But I'd like to be able to access my home proxy when I'm using wi-fi (at home or away from home) I just can't find a way to set it in the system.
If anyone knows please let me know.
Thanks

i wish to know the answer as well

In Settings, Connections you can set up two Automatic connections 'Internet' & 'Private'. Typically these are 'My ISP' and 'My Work Network'. In the Private network settings you can specify your proxy. You then need to edit your WiFi settings for your Home WiFi - change the 'Connects to:' to 'Work' (as opposed to The Internet). When you connect to your home WiFi it should use the proxy specified.
Be careful with ActiveSync or Sync Centre as this can change these settings each time your device connects to your PC (change the connection settings in ActiveSync/Sync Centre on the PC so that the option 'This computer is connected to:' is NOT set to 'Automatic'.
Windows Mobile also supports Proxy Auto Detection as well. If this is the same as Windows proxy auto detection then it relies on either DHCP being configured to send Option 252 with the URL of the Proxy script and/or DNS with a host record or alias for the WPAD host in the devices domain - i.e. wpad.network.com.

Managing multiple (more than two) connections automatically

Hi,
I'm new to this forum, and I have tried searching for a similar entry here at xda-developers.
I have a problem managing multiple connection automatically with my HTC TyTN II (WM 6) device. Here's the scenario:
1. I have configured the Internet connection to be the Internet APN of my ISP (the first connection entry in the Connections / Tasks tab. This works ok.
2. I need to access WAP pages (available only to customers of the ISP I'm using) via the WAP proxy of my ISP. I have configured this in the second entry in the Connections / Task tab. I have configured the APN, and proxy server for WAP browsing. I use wsp:// as the protocol in the address field of IE. This works fine, as well.
3. I also need to use ActiveSync to access company E-Mail. Our company has a third APN for this purpose to access the Exchange server in the Intranet. I have configured this in the second section on Connections, or the Network management under "Programs that automatically connect to a private nerwork should connect using:". The problem is that I need to use both the WAP APN, and this Intranet APN. With current setup I need to manually select WAP APN, when I browse the WAP pages (available only via the WAP proxy), and the Intranet APN, when I would like ActiveSync to sync with the company Exchange server.
Now, I've also tried selecting "Auto pick" in Connections/Advanced tab->Select Networks->Edit (private network section). It seems to always pick the first one, since it's a working conection. I guess this is how it should work. The question is: is there a way to tell ActiveSync to use a particular connection, or put it in another way: is it possible have two private networks, so that WAP browsing would use one, and ActiveSync the other one automatically. Only the WAP connection is using a proxy server. Company E-Mail is accessed via diffrent APN with username, but without a proxy server.
Thanks for your time,
