how do tmobile proxy servers work ? - Networking

What is the path data takes when connecting using GPRS and proxy server on tmobile network ?
Does it first travel to tmobile GPRS servers and then to proxy or other way around ?

if you are struggling to get a connection over 3G/gprs you just need to disable the proxy settings within the connection settings and the connection will then work.

Bypass proxy when using WLan

I have to use a proxy for my GPRS flat (o2).
This prevents WLan from connecting to the internet. I have to uncheck the proxy before I can use WLan.
Is there a way to tell WLan not to use the proxy?

Easy way to switch proxy servers

I have an 8125 and access the internet in 3 different ways:
1: work uses a proxy for their secure wi-fi network
2: Cingular uses proxy for gprs
3: Home wi-fi network doesn't have a proxy
Can someone tell me how I can easily switch between these networks without having to change the connections settings? Is there a program that can be downloaded to help with the changes?
Thanks!
I also have a 8125. I have the proxy network settings under the "Work Network" settings, and the non-proxy under the "My ISP" settings. When I want to use WiFi or non-proxy, the 8125 will just automatically connect OK. When I need to use the proxy, I start IE and go to wsp://device.home and that forces it to connect to the Work Network.

Using more than two proxies

I have a WM5 device (HTC Wizard) and have the following situation:
My "Home" connection uses a proxy to connect to the internet over GPRS (from phone company) -- this works fine.
My "Work" connection uses a different proxy to connect to the internet over wifi (from my work) -- this works fine.
If I want to connect to a third network (my home wifi connection, an internet cafe) that doesn't use a proxy (or uses a different proxy) I need to modify the "Home" connection to remove the phone company proxy settings -- then this works fine. But when I want to get back on my GPRS connection, I need to go modify the proxy configuration again to put the settings back in.
Is there an easier way to move between >2 proxy configurations than setting/clearing/modifying the proxy configuration every time I move between networks? I'm looking for solutions native in the device - I'm sure there are hacks like setting up my own proxy and screwing with the forwarding rules to identify "phone is on WLAN, go directly to internet" vs. "phone is connecting from GPRS, chain through phone company proxy" which will cause me about as many headaches as just manually entering the information. Thanks in advance for any replies.
easist way is to set up a third connection with no proxy....
Have you actually tried doing this? WM5 supports two connections - one for automatic connections (which by default it calls "Home"), one for VPN (which by default it calls "Work"). I could create another network connection profile, but that trade-off is between a) reconfiguring the single network connection profile that my "Home" connection uses (via my provider's proxy or not) for b) reconfiguring which of two network connections the "Home" network connection selects. I don't want another bunch of clicks to jump through as I move from network to network, I want it to Just Work. I'd like the decision tree to go:
if (secured resource)
..use VPN ("Work")
else
..if (preferred network available)
....// this would be my 802.11 nets
....// each of which may have proxy information associated with it
....use that network (afaict, NYI)
..else
....use GPRS ("Home")
But it appears to be:
if (secured resource)
..use VPN ("Work")
else
..use GPRS ("Home")
A bit of an ugly workaround would be to use Opera Mobile - you can manually specify HTTP and/or HTTPS proxies in its own Preferences, as well as any proxy info you might have set up in your work profile.
As of yet, I've not found a way to have more than one proxied profile preconfigured, which is annoying as different buildings in my Uni use different wifi networks with their own proxies and ports typical.

proxy setting for wireless

I have a problem of setting up http proxy server for my wireless connection.
What I have done is:
1. in settings -> connections
automatically connecting to internet by using: My ISP
automatically connecting to private network by using: My Work Network.
2. In My Work Network -> proxy settings
ticks, this network connects to internet
ticks,this network use a proxy server to connect to internet.
advanced:
HTTP: proxy.proxy.proxy: 8080
3. Set my wireless connection connect to Work network.
However, after the wireless was enabled, my proxy setting alway vanished away, like I haven't setup any proxy setting at all.
If I want to try to re-set my proxy server again in My Work Network. It will vanished away when I back to setting panel.
But if I disable the wireless connection, then my proxy setting can stay there. If my wireless turned on again, my proxy setting would gone immdiately.
Do you know what's wrong?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go to MediaNet, tap proxy settings. check the top box; uncheck the lower box, then go back to ISP.
