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.

I was finally able to go online using the wifi. Where it asks what the network connects to, I had to change it to 'Work' instead of 'The Internet.' The problem is now I can't connect to any internal ip's such as my router or other networked computers. A bubble pops up over the wifi icon on the taskbar telling me I need to change my connection settings. Any ideas how to fix this?
Hi bendog2784!
The internet profile is used together with vpn connection settings and the work is for direct internet connection. The difference is in encryption but access should be the same so perhaps your problem is because of incorrect ip settings.
I have since got it to work. I think a lot of it had to do with the tmobile proxy. Not entirely sure though.
I have been reading this forum and many others all day about the wifi problems people are having but none are like mine so I would like to ask this question, I turn on wifi and it will not find my network or any network around. I have tried to manually put in the ssid and ip address and still it will not connect that way either. I have checked and double checked all my router setting (currently set to open with no wep or anything) I am begining to wonder if the wifi is broken? My second problem I have found it when I change the connection setting to my isp I cannot connect to the internet. Maybe a bad setting, I am not really sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
is your router set to broadcast the ssid? if not then that is the problem. if this option is not enabled then no one can see your router.
as far as connecting via a cell connection, make sure you are using an operator cab. I am sure if you do a simple search you will be able to find a cab that will load all of the proper setting for a cellular internet connection.
who is your provider?
Yes, my router does bradcast the ssid and I have four computers and printers that find it without anyproblems. When i turn on wi-fi the phone doesn't even search for a network the icon shows up but I don't get the arrow that go back on forth to show that it is searching or connecting.
I am also having a problem with my 8525. I do get connected but i cant browse the net. Can someone tell me how to setup a connection from scratch to connect to wifi. Thanks

Search around on the Hermes forum. IE doesn't know to use the WiFi connection when it's available. There's a registry key setting that needs to be changed in order for IE to make use of the WiFi connection rather than going out over your data connection with your carrier.
I have a proxy setup to allow me to connect to T-mobile's internet. I noticed that when the proxy is enabled in connection settings, my wifi does not connect to websites. However, when I disable the proxy from my gprs connection wifi works fine.
Is this normal? Is it maybe a bug with the rom im using?
Normal.
...
I have searched everywhere and instead of starting another post on the same issue I will post on this one.
I have the same issue, and understand its normal. Is there a way around this because re typing in proxy settings just to go on gprs internet is a annoying and incovienent. I want to be able to go on wifi and have everything work fine. When I disconnect wifi I can then access the internet via gprs proxy.
AT&T included both an enable proxy cab and a disable proxy cab...
However Im in the process of moving and my main computer is down...
When I get it back up I'll pull those cabs off of the phone, perhaps they will work for tmobile..beats going into the connection settings...
After all of this I found a fix.

Someone should really sticky this because this helps so much especially since I like not having to pay for my T-mobile internet via the proxy. Now I dont have to delete the proxy. My activesync and wifi work flawlessly as well as GPRS Edge.
Hey folks! I need some help setting up VPN. Here's what I want to do: I want to be able to connect to my PC through Internet (HSDPA Connection. NOT Wireless LAN!!!!!) and access the network shares on my PC. Okay, now I believe the only way not involving a HTTP Server on my PC would be to set up a VPN network. What I have done so far is configuring Vista. I set up the VPN Server. I think almost nothing can go wrong, because the only setting that I'm prompted for is Username/PW to allow... ANyway so I did this, and a friend of mine managed to connect. So I think the Vista-Part is okay. Now when I try to do it with my mobile, I FAIL. I did setup the VPN Connection in the Connections menu, and then I find the connection in the list and I tap-and-hold it and choose connect, and then it SEEMS the phone is trying to connect, at least it establishes the HSDPA Connection if it's not ready. But nothing more happens. No errors, no warnings, no indicators, nothing. Resco Explorer can't see my PC and my PC doesn't show an active VPN Connection either. I've already tried to alter the settings of the VPN Connection on my mobile and I think I've had them in almost every possible constellation but it simply won't work. Can someone help me and explain how to do it please? Your efforts would be very much appreciated!
Nobody? I really need this
I am sorry if this turns out to be a stupid/obvious question, but right now I just cannot figure this out! So apologies in advance...
I have a regular data plan associated with my phone, so when I am out and about, I can access the web without problems. At home, the phone will connect either to my own WiFi hotspot (secured) or to my neighbour's (unsecured), and all continues to be well.
Now, while I am at work, I would like the phone to also connect to my office's hotspot, which it does without problems. However, since this connection requires the use of a proxy to connect to the web, I do not get anywhere.
How do I associate the use of a proxy to a specific WiFi profile/connection, and not to the others which are also configured on the phone?
Also, is there a way to tell the phone to give priority to the WiFi connection when available over the 3g connection, or is this done automatically?
TIA!
It's not stupid, there's no separate proxy setting for each Wi-Fi network, just the general "Internet/Work" thingie, but even that wouldn't help because many programs would ignore it (just like it will happen on "big" Windows, by the way - not all programs use IE settings).
So the only workaround I know is to set up your proxy in Opera and turn it on and off manually each time you change networks.
WiFi profiles
Solution is application called WiFi profiles. You can define settings for every wireless network that you use
Thank you very much to both!
I will look into the WiFi Profiles app...
