Connection problem

I dont want to use gprs on my device
some of the application want to connect to the internet and everytime i get a popup message saying cannot connect
how do i desable that
please help me it pops up every 30 SEC
Thanx

If you dont want the GPRS to kick in, dot have it selected as a option.
Go to START > SETTINGS > CONNECTIONS > ADVANCED > SELECT NETWORKS
Hopefully you will have two options. Programs that automatically connect to the Internet and those which auto connect to private network. Make sure that both have GPRS not selected.
I hope this helps.

Wi Fi HELP

Im trying to connect to the internet solet via Wi Fi.. and im having a really hard time. This problem probably has already been addressed but after an hour of searching I just want the answer!! please reply

what type of problems are you having? If you give us moer details we might be able to help.

I am having problems with my wifi also. My problem is when I go to connect using PIE, I get a message stating "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later". When I view the wifi settings everything looks fine. I am connected to my home network with good signal strength.
I tried using a suggestion on another forum about increasing the wifi power setting to "best performance", but that didn't work either. (I am using Linksys router wrt54g). I am also using the t-mobile 2.26 ROM.
Oh, sorry if I took over the thread. But I need help also.
Thanks.

did either of you go into the connections and change it to My ISP?
settings > connections > connections > advanced > Select Networks > My Isp

shogunmark, you are a lifesaver! Thank you so much!
I was using the sda before the mda, so I wasn't used to having to change those settings - it was automatic (switching between wifi and gprs).
Thanks again.

excellent, glad to hear that it worked out for you

yes i have changed my connections to My Isp. Then it tries to connect via some weird Cingular telephone number.

Try editing the connection "myisp". make sure that "cingular gprs" is selection. Having "auto pick" and "CSD cingular" has always created problems for me.

Use wifi if available, otherwise use 3G/GPRS?

One thing i'm totally confused and lost about, with my new Vario II, is its apparent inability to use the wifi preferentially to access the internet.
T-mobile havent been able to help so far but I will keep leaning on them. The basic question I have is that:
When connected to wifi, I know I can get access to the internet because my laptop is doing it right now. If the wifi is connected (and it works because im transferring files across file sharing), why does the GPRS dial when I fire up an internet app like ie/msn messenger?
What do I need to do to this phone to make it prefer wifi over 3g/gprs?
Also, is it just my device, or is wifi on all these dog slow? It took nearly 1.5 minutes to copy a 4 meg mp3! ~384kbps?!

Start > Settings > Network Cards > Network Adapters (Tab) > "My network card connects to:" The Inernet
That should solve your problem. To a point, anyway. For som reason, Push mail is still GPRS only.

My TyTN uses WiFi when available otherwise it automatically choses HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS to get connected to Internet. To achieve it I set my system in the following way:
Start > Settings > Network Cards > Network Adapters (Tab) > "My network card connects to:" The Inernet (as rassah stated above)
Configure your GPRS connection as My Work Network.
Under Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select_Networks (Network Management tab) set both drop-down
1. "Program that automatically connect to the Internet shoud connect using" -> My Work Network
2. "Program that automatically connect to the Private Network shoud connect using " to My Work Network -> My Work Network

Ahhhh.. I've eventually solved this, I think. Even with what was suggested here, I had difficulty and the phone would not dial gprs -> it just said "cannot connect with your current settings"
It was the last line of what JohnieWalker said that got me thinking - there is a slight typo on the line but other than that, his advice led me to the solution.
For other people experiencing this difficulty, I offer the following advice:
Click Start, Settings, Connections tab. All the applets you need to use are on this screen
Use the Network Cards applet, Network Adapters tab, highlight the wireless card and tell the phone it connects to Work
-- This apparently does something different to choosing "The Internet" in that it allows file sharing etc. The word Work in this context is completely unrelated to the default connection called "My Work Connection"
Use the Wireless LAN applet to connect to your wifi network
In the Connections applet, Advanced tab, press Select Networks
Set both dropdowns to "My Work Connection"
On the tasks Tab, the display has changed to "My Work Connection" -> Choose Manage Existing Connections and add a New one via the button
Enter the details to dial your gprs. These are all over the web
You end up with a connection that is set up identically to the default T-Mobile Internet one (in my case) - for some reason the default one always dials the GPRS whether the wifi is on or not. This one I just added behaves as i expect - if the wifi is on, it uses it, if not, it dials.. Weird!

Kinda new to WM, can't work out this connection problem

I've got my X1 and it's great, except for a a things that's bugging me with the internet conection.
If I launch PIE or Opera it'll connect to wifi if available, or to 3G.
Live messenger will only connect to wifi, and I can't find any way to change that, which means I can't use it when I'm out.
Email will only connect to wifi or 3G, I can't fund out how to make it use wif if it's available.
Surely a phone this powerful can do that?
Every internet setting I can find is set to T-Mobile.

Try unchecking the use proxy option within "modify an existing connection"
Start > Settings > Connections > connections > Manage existing connections > Select proxy settings down at the bottom.
Remove the tick from this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet.

What exactly is the problem? When connected via wifi, you are unable to surf the net, update stock & weather? Or is it just internet access?
Go to Settings > connections > wifi > wireless networks > network adaptors and set 'My network cards connects to' to 'the internet'
Would also change Settings > connections > wifi > advanced > power mode and set this at best performance
Let me know if this works

Is the problem with just surfing the internet, or no internet at all? You can try to update the weather and/or stocks, just to see if the problem is with the connectivity (in which case you should try to follow the previous advice) or with the browser itself (for example with Black Perl ROM the first time you open Opera, there is a problem with rendering of the page, so you have to close it and reopen again).

i've tried the settings but it seems to appear the same problem...
when i try to open yahoo, it says "could not locate remote server, bla bla bla... make sure your internet connection is active and check whether other applications that rely on the same connection working".
i also tried to update the weather and it says "there was a connection error while attempting to download weather data".
any idea?

Are you connected to active sync or wmdc while you are trying to access the net (i.e. do you have your phone plugged into you pc)?
Check |START|SETTINGS|CONNECTIONS|USB To PC| and make sure you have "Enable advanced network functionality" checked.
If all else fails, soft reset, if that fails... hard reset

If in Internet explorer is ok then Check opera:config for a wrong proxi !
(opera keep setings from last conections)

my hd wasnt connected to pc... i even tried to connect using my 3g...
the 3g is connected but still cant browse the internet... i dont think theres a problem with my opera... since i tried to update the weather it appears the same errors..

I had this problem today - wifi connected but opera and weather updates not working.
I selected
Start->Settings->Connections(tab)->Connections(icon)->Advanced->Select Networks
and set "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" = "My Work Network" (was "Orange Internet").
This worked fine and I can now surf and download. I don't know if it will affect my 3g connection yet but I will try it later.

install schaps advanced config and disable "Proxy Auto Detection" in Internet Explorer section

Is your problem similar to this?

Sorry for not having the solution, just trying to determin what would be the cause.
Which firmware do you have?

perhaps it will be easier to change it directly in the registry.
one can see that this is not relevant to internet explorer only.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000000
