Hi,
I have reason to believe that ActiveSync grabs the proxy settings from my computer and sticks these on my connection profile on the Touch HD.
This prevents me from using browsers, but other network connections work fine.
The solution is to remove the proxy settings, but it's rather annoying when it happens all the time.
Anyone else got this problem? Or even a solution?

I have a belkin router. It works well with several laptops.
I can connect to it with my JASJAR and get an IP address.
If I sync pop3 email it uses WIFI and works as expected.
If I sync journal bar it uses WIFI and works as expected.
However if I try to use internet explorer it alway tries to start a GPRS session and refuses to work through WIFI. :evil: Why??
Ive sent hours trying every setting I can find.
Anyone have any suggestions? :?:

At least your Wifi network doesn't crash as soon as u connect the JJ. Mine doesn't even get that far...
Anyone who can help???
Hmmm I wonder if this is something in the Telstra settings Cab.
Re those having problems all on Telstra?
Might try a hard re set and then manually build the settings.
Jon
Try de activating the phone. this allows you to use IE via your wireless router.
Tried that, thanks.
I just get the "Cannot Connect" message and if I dismiss it. Nothing!
However I can sync the weather without getting the "Cannot Connect" box. SO the WiFi is working, its just that Explorer can see it.
Im running the O2 UK firmware and it works fine (auto gives prefernce to the WiFi if I am in range, try loading on the genuine Imate firmware.

I know how you feel. I can't get wifi to work. Heck, I can't even use IE when synced to the computer via USB :evil:
Have you tried messing with the settings in start/settings/connections/connections?
I finally got it working.
You have to chose the "Telstra Internet" setting in Network Managment.
Its in Settings, Connections, Advanced, Select Networks, select "Telstra Internet".
I then did, Settings, Connections, Manage existing connections, Modem, and set it to "Auto"
It uses the WiFi first and then only uses GPRS if there is no WiFi.
Hope this helps someone else !

Can anyone help me with just getting my JJ connected to the wifi network without crashing the router?
Have you tried turning off any encryption etc and re booting the router.
Then try to connect at the most basic level?
Now I'm totally confused
I don't know what is going on!
I have finally managed to use IE via Activesync, using "Telstra Internet" as my My network connects to...
I tried again to hook up to the wifi network. The router is connected to my desktop via a physical cable, and my tablet pC is connected wirelessly (my JJ syncs with the tablet). I turned to tablet off, and then connected the JJ to the desktop wirelessly. On the desktop, I am no longer able to connect to the internet, but for some reason, the JJ is able to connect to the internet :shock:
But, even if I disconnect the JJ from the network, my desktop is unable to connect back to the internet until I reboot the router. What does this all mean????
I have the same issue with my MDA Pro! i done even have the sutp option in the modem settings. I can connect to my belkin router with encryption but no response when in IE!
Anyone else got any other suggestions?
I'm beginning to think that nobody has a solution to such connection problems. Is there any hope on the horizon? Any chance of something being sorted out by MS?
BTW, how well does BT syncing/internet connection work?
Ok frustration rising.
I can connect to my Belkin wireless router with no problems but I can only log onto the router and not browse the internet!
I have checked that the proxy is not configured.
Anyone got any ideas?
Nope
I have my laptop connected to a router with a Linksys wireless connection. I use Ipass VPN to get through to my work e-mail.
When I install Activesync4.1 it stops me getting access in Ipass. I have tried all options I can find in this forum but with no luck.
Activesync itself works fine when installed.
I have checked with somebody else at work who uses AS with a wired connection and it works. This isn't an option for me.
Try to change your network binding setting, move your Wireless Connect to the top
you can do this by Control Panel > Network Connections > Advance(from the file menu bar) > Advanced Setting.
Hope this helps
I actually have a very similar issue with my MDA. Basically my laptop's onboard Wireless B/G cannot connect to the router when the MDA is connected. I tried your suggestion and now the MDA won't connect. Seems like it's one or the other
Has anyone found a solution to this issue? This is the only issue that I have with my device. Whenever I connect it, I lose my wireless internet on my laptop. If I'm on a wired network at the office, I lose internet access but can still access the intranet. Any advice would be appreciated.
This has nothing to do with wireless. Its the ActiveSync 4.x network install that is not done properly if you have a vpn client running
I had this too
Solution:
Once connected via activesync open network connections
There is a new network connection there then for the WM5 device
Open properties ans de-select all listed items except TCP/IP.
Worked for me
Thanks for the response. I had found your suggestion previously on another board and tried it without success. I'm suspicious that the issue may be the Dell networking control software on my laptop getting confused. As soon as I connect my device, my wireless automatically turned off like it's found another network. I was hoping someone else who's had this problem has been able to solve it. I'd appreciate any other suggestions.
Thielsa same with me. unchecking all boxes didn't work and I'm using an IBM laptop.
Did find something on a microsoft newsgroup and it seems to be a known problem that hasn't been fixed yet.
Not having activesync is the only downer for my wizard though quite a big one doing system restores all the time
not done any testing on this but I use 4.1 and vpn in via wirless.
Try establishing your vpn connection first and then launch outlook. Then connect the device to the pc (via cable).
From memory it seems to be the outlook bit that gets around the problem for me.
I've pretty much narrowed things down to the wireless connection control on my dell laptop. I've been able to get things to work fine now on my wired connection. I looked at the log from my wireless controller, and when I attach the Pocketpc device it reads a wired connection and turns off the wireless. I think that this is specific to laptops (dell only?) that have automatic wireless controllers. Hopefully someone will find a solution to this as it's the only 'bug' I have left on my device.
Hi all!
I'm having a very strange issue with my Internet connection on the niki.
I have configured the default Internet connection (the one without VPN and Proxy config) to use the ISP parameters to connect to GPRS.
It connects but it's not working (I tried to navigate with IE but got error opening page).
So I created a new connection (in this case I could set up a proxy, but I left empty), with the same ISP config, selected it as the network to be use automatically to connect to internet, and it works very well.
Any idea about this strange behaviour?
Thanks!!!!
Alex
Solved!
I needed to configure a Work connecion (not used) with a Proxy (HTTP and SOCKS). In this way the Internet connection works fine.
Strange solution for a strange behaviour
I have done the same thing, but nothing solved :-( I am able to use IE and Opera via wifi but not via GPRS
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.

Hi everyone...
I have a touch HD that is not getting anything from the Internet even though it is connected to the wireless network. I was told that this problem started when the new proxy server was implemented and it applies to all windows mobile devices. I have checked the proxy settings and they are right. The Internet works fine at home... it just does nothing at my work.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
By the way... I have tried the solutions mentioned around here - like changing the channel - and nothing works.
Hi,
im facing the same problem and i suspect my WLAN access point. It works on all Wireless unless mine at home. I`m using a Zyxel Router.
Are you using DHCP? The answer from zyxel was to change the ip settings on my HD to static - means manual IP, Gateway and DNS.
It works now for a minute or so but then again dead. Now using data flat from my mobile company.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Nils
Thanks for your reply...
I have tried that.. but I cannot get anything to work...
I will try again... although one solution I want to try is to find a way to share my laptop's connection with my mobile and use it while I am close to it... but wireless connections cannot be share it seems...
anyway, thanks.
sounds more like it's you adhoc wifi on the laptop which is the problem
you have to set it up to work on the laptop for it to ever share with a pda
Actually it connects to the wireless router. There are three access points at work and I have tried to connect to them all. The only difference between these and my home wireless connection is the proxy server at work. I tried every possible solution with no success.
Anyway.. I will try something new when the weekend is over.
Thanks anyway.
OK. So this is how it is:
I got the internet to work by using a fixed IP instead of the dynamic IP assigned to me by the DNS. Once I supplied my username and password I could access the Internet. However, the touchflo interface cannot access it.
Is there a way to configure the HTC touch flo interface to set the proxy for it?
Regards
