connection manager screwed up :-(

Hi!
After I've "tested" some different BT stacks and other applications, it seems that something went wrong with my connection manager's registry keys: Most of the time, I can only see "Add a new connection..." with no options regarding the already configured connections. In the past, I could see two different connection groups ("Internet", "Company") there.
Anyway, my configured settings (GPRS and VPN) are definitely stored and active (I can use them in PIE or Messenger) ... but I can't change them. Even if I add a new connection, the process finishes but I can't locate the new entry anywhere within the connection manager.
Is there anything I can "safely" delete in my registry to restore the connection manager's functionality?

I am really sorry to hear that.
Have you tried a hard reset?

Suddenly PIE doesn't browse to websites! Stuck "Locatin

Enough is enough.
I had the same **** with my old PDA2K and now again with the Exec... I've spent 20 hours thus far on that ****. I just hard reset my machine yesterday and now again this **** happens and I cannot fix it.
I am surfing using UMTS/GPRS.. My definitions are FINE. There's only one connection. It was always fine that way on both the pda2k and the new exec.. but it stopped working now... it could be that some program messed up this ****, but i wouldn't know which.
Trying to browse to a site.. I get PIE saying 'Locating..." then after a minute or so saying "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded blah blah blah"... But the 3GUMTS is connected just fine.. Note that MSN Messenger doesn't work as well (I think that's because it's uses the core engine the PIE uses). Strangely, using networking utilities (vx) I can ping with the machine and even get HTML pages using web addresses. So the problem is not DNS and not a connection problem.. Just probably some damn problem with the operating system not recognizing something.. The 3rd party vxutilities for networking are bypassing that **** hence why they can browse the network just fine.
Tried deleting temp internet files and cookies nada... I also tried soft reset (about 20 times).. nada.... tried deleting the connection and recreating... nada... tried searchiong the registry for my connection name after deleted to see if traces exists.. nada...
Getting tired of this ****.. only hardreset solved it last time and i'm getting sick of becoming the machine's slave rather then the machine being my slave.
Help would be grately apprecaited..... I am sure it's ****ed up registry entry or something like that... I don't have many programs isntalled on my machine as I just hard reseted yesterday and my machine is in rather clean condition except for must have apps.
Help...SOS..

Check your proxy server info (in connections).
My XDA exec just loves to grab my work proxy server and try use that for accessing the web when wifi is active.

Thanks for trying to help...
but that's not the issue.. it's wwaayy deeper than that... ( i would have found it after 20 hours of trying had it been this easy ...
No proxy whatsoever. I never used Wifi. No work setup.. only "My ISP Setup".
anybody else? I'm offering $20 by paypal for the kind soul who can help stop my frustration WITHOUT hardresetting my machine or doing drastic moves. I need a permanent solution. If I solve it before so.. I will post my fix here...

UPDATE:
It's working now, though I don't like the solution, I changed in 'Connections' to connect through 'My Work Network' although I don't actually have any work network and I'm using it the same way I used the "My ISP" connection. It may stop working again though. i'll update.. but I still don't get it why the normal My ISP which always worked stopped working.

Are you, maybe, using the SBSH Weather?Are you, maybe, using the SBSH Pocket Weather?
For me the same thing started after I installed SBSH PW…

com'on someone please help me out here. i'll donate another 20 euro to this site if i find a solution... What I did yesterday (changed it so that it will use only the 'My work' profile both both internet and work worked fine.. but only for 24 hours. it now doesn't work again even after multiple softresets as well as deleting and defining the account again.. what a frustartion.
Now only that i cannot use PIE, I cannot use Terminal Server as well.. which is a bummer

Toggle flight mode on and then off.

Have ever try to remove check box of proxy in network tab? With mine it works.

proxy issue
I noticed the same thing on my wizard, I think it may be caused by an internet explorer automatic configuration script. When I manually provide the ip address and port number of the proxy server, the problem does not appear. I changed this in Internet Explorer running on my PC and in the Work connection on my phone. I have also changed the setting in Active Sync to choose the Work Network setting by default instead of automatic.
The only way I got Internet Explorer back to work was after a hard reset.
It did not happen again in the past 1,5 week. I have been restoring the same backup after each of these hardresets so I had an identical install everytime. It seems to be fine now.
I don't know how WM5 handles Active Directory policies (if it handles them at all) that may change your IE settings as well.

"Check your proxy server info (in connections).

My wizard does the same, it will work for a week or so and try using some random proxy for no reason!
I just uncheck the proxy tick box and the wifi connection works great with internet explorer. (well usually I tear my hear out for 5 mins and then realise its the proxy!)

PIE stuck at Locating
Hi mobiler,
I hope you have found a more permanent solution to your problem. I own an MDA Pro with TMobile UK and recently bacame plagued with the same symptoms which you reported, i.e., pocket explorer and opera mobile stuck at locating and not able to browse the web. Through some helpful suggestions on this thread I managed to find a solution which you may or may not have already tried. Like most people, I use my MDA pro at home on my home wireless Wifi network, and while away at work I use its GPRS/UMTS capabilities. I had no reason to think that these two features of the MDA Pro had any interactions with each other. In fact, I seem to remember reading somewhere that separate pieces of internal hardware provide these features. However, to my surprise/dismay I discovered that somehow the Wifi and GPRS/UMTS settings on the MDA pro are linked together. For example, if you setup a proxy server in the GPRS modem settings, which I recently did, without notifying you the Wifi connection also tries to use the same proxy setting. Vice versa if you setup a specific IP address and Gateway in your Wifi settings the GPRS modem connection also tries to use those settings and failing. The solution for getting back to normal internet browsing was to remove the proxy in modem connection by using its automatic settings ,and to tick the server assigned IP address for Wifi. This is a less than satisfactory solution, however, at least things are back to where they were before. I remain very puzzled at the interaction between these features and am dismayed and frustrated that there is nothing in the step by step procedures in each setting that warn you about a possible impact on the other.

Internet Explorer has gone crazy!!!

My homepage is the BBC was page.
Nowardays, when I log on to it, it shows the page from about 3 weeks ago. This should not be as BBC is updated constantly.
When I try to go to google and other favorites, it says the page cannot be found. The address used to work before.
I've tried deleting saved links and clearing history. No difference.
Any advice?

Try soft reset then reconnect to GPRS .

Done that. No change.

Can you connect to other internet resources, other than web pages through internet explorer?

Toggle flight mode on and then off again. Works better than hard reset in some cases.

Like what?

Fixed it: I re-installed the .cab file with the GPRS settings.

i am havin same prob..i cant download caz opera mini 2 will require ie 2 download....ican view sites with opera...but ie says page ur lookin 4 is nnot found........help

Hmm.. I have the same problem,IE after some time working on-line says CANNOT FIND THE PAGE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR... Is it possible to uptate Pocket IE??

Internet Explorer Mobile cannot open page

Hi all,
I got this message on my Wizard when I try to enter any web address or click a favorite : "The address is not valid. Check the address and try again.".
I think it must have happened after I used Mermaid to clean some wrong registry, now IE just doesn't respond well. (however another browser works, like AvantGo or Mini Opera).
I have hard-reseted the device and restore system settings but no luck (since the system restore must have put the error back in place).
any idea ?
thx in advance.

maybe you have to change the settings in the connection tab. I had a similar problem and it was because by default the GPRS connection was used and I only wanted to use WIFI. Make sure that the connection settings are correct for your service provider.
hope this helps

nope, not working with either GPRS or Wifi
even so that opera works fine with both GPRS or Wifi or LAN connected to PC. And I did compare my connections settings to a friend who has the same phone, the same O2 provider and they are both similar.
So my question is more :
- how do I reinstall Internet Explorer only ?
is there a way ?

You can't. It's part of the Mobile O/S.
Do the hard reset again but don't restore the settings. See if it works.

hard reset was the answer
such a shame ... :-(

Did you find some solution? Was it OK after hard reset?

Removed IE--How to redirect programs to Opera?
I have a related problem:
I installed Opera Mini 4.1 and it works great, much quicker and better display than IE. However, it appears that a number of other applications have failed to work and time out without IE. Do I need to reinstall IE? (I was able to set up Opera to open with the IE button.
Does my question make sense? Basically, programs that need a browser don't seem to connect through Opera. How do I direct them to the new browser in the absence of IE? Thanks in advance!

i cant get opera mini on my wizard. help, please. says phone model not detected

Opera downloads, PIE not, Flexmail connects, Worldmate not....

I have a rather strange issue with my GPRS connections.
Everything worked fine until probably something was changed by an installation or something yesterday....
Now PIE connects to GPRS, but says "it cannot download"
Opera though works perfectly.
Worldmate says it cannot connect.
Flexmail works perfectly.
The most peculiar is that the above also apply when I am using the dock as an Internet pass-through....
Should I guess that the programs that access the Web but utilising PIE's settings fall under the same group?
How can I solve this? (the most recent thing I did was to unchech USB advanced functionality, but this should not be it.....!)
Thanks in advance

I found it ! (?)
I found out that there was a proxy setting (I don't know how it got there or if it was in the first place!).
I removed it completely and now everything is back to normal!

I have the same problem. Where did you find this proxy settings to be deleted?
I tried a lot of things but this strange PE does not work

Would advise that if things were working ok until recently and even if not, that you take note of the settings before deleting them so they can be re-entered if necessary.

Thanks but PIE does not work still
I switched off the Proxy but PIE does not work through GPRS

I have a weird issue with world mate... mailed their support but guess their typing fingers went on a strike after the first reply...anyway all my other services seem to be happy with my internet connection and work without problems but my weather service works fine for the first few updates after a fresh install and then start giving connection not found error...any suggestions please...

It has to be a proxy setting. Your other option would be to completely delete gprs connection and recreate it.

Yep, joannaex is right, have your providers details handy and re-create the connection.
