Error connecting to WiFi, Need help

Sup,
I'm having trouble connecting to my wireless router with my Qtek 9000 Windows Mobile 5.
Technically it is connected, but no webpage loads. It's a netgear wireless G router with the settings set to b/g.
I tried in both, PIE and Opera.
I tried with "Phone" on and off to see if that makes a difference.
I get an error message in PIE:
"The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was
lost. Check the connection and try again later."
Google is the only page that loads, but I think because its cached?
I get this message when I try a search:
"The page cannot be displayed because the server could not be found or a DNS error occurred."
The error I get in Opera is:
"Could not connect to proxy server
http://mail.google.com/mail/"
when connecting to gmail.com.
Please, any help?
Edit:
I have another problem too. Youtube worked in Opera with Flash Player 7 PPC except the video loaded like the first 29seconds and then stopped. When I would play what was loaded, it would lag play and then go to the replay/share screen.
I also tried the FlashVideoBundle + TCPMP combo. With the combo, I tried with and without Flash7 installed and it doesn't work at all on PIE. I would get a "Video not available" error when clicking on a search result on Youtube.
So if anyone has a solution for this problem too, please advise.

Go to the Connections Tab in settings,
Then click the Connections icon
Click the advanced Tab
Click Select Networks
Change both Drop Down Menus to "My ISP"
Click OK till you get to the Home Screen and try accessing a webpage...
I hope This Works

But wouldn't that mess up my GPRS settings?
BTW, thanks for the reply.

Dude, it worked! Awesome!
So if I have to use T-MobileWeb (tzones) GPRS, I just switch both back to work?
BTW Thanks.

Can not connect to Wifi after WM 6 upgrade
I just changed all my settings to MY ISP and I'm still getting connection errors

A Delayed Response
Sorry about failing to respond for a while...but, anywho... in the screen with the drop down menus...you're gonna want to set the first drop down menu to "My ISP" and the second drop down menu to whatever GPRS connection you use...respond with details if this fails to be of help

And...a response to Ol' Blake
The ISP setting that your attempting to change won't affect the failure to connect to certain wifi...some problems with the WM6 for the Jasjar prevent the device to connect to wifis with WPA security...I believe...I'm writing this through personal experience and what I have read in other posts...btw...is the wifi that you are attempting to connect to password protected?

WiFi and proxy

Hello,
I have HTC Touch, and I'm trying to connect to wifi with ISA proxy.
First, I connected to home wifi (no proxy) and accessed internet without problem.
At work we have Radius etc. but I also connected, and I can surf to pages inside company (no need for proxy), but I can't get out to internet.
Any suggestion would be great!
tnx
small update: looks like I was surfing at work through usb cable, not wifi. But now I can't even connect to wifi at work, which I could before. Funny things going on, I'll reset.
Update2:
Newest status is: wifi connected, can surf internal sites, but can't go outside company network.
I suspect that IE is not going through the proxy at all. Which implicates that I don't know how to setup IE to use proxy on WM6???

If you edit "My Work Settings" thru Settings -> Connections -> Connections you can edit the proxy settings there. Then you say "connect to internet" thru "My Work Settings". I may be wrong, but I think you need to reset the pda as well...

OK, here are my settings:
under settings-connections-connections, advanced - select networks:
"Programs that automatically connect to Internet should connect using:" My Work Network.
When I click Edit, under Modem, there are no entries.
Under Proxy settings, "This network connects to internet" and "this network uses a proxy.." are both checked.
"Proxy server" field is disabled.
Under Advanced:
Socks line has serverort next to it. Others are empty. Server and port are good.
I click ok on all and go to IE. Type www.google.com, it says "Locating.." and that's all. Internal web sites are opening ok.
I tried to turn it off, and back on.
Tried google, not working.
I checked all settings once again and tried then, still nothing.

This is a common problem and I have not found a solution for it myself yet.
The proxy settings are lost when you apply them, and the SOCKS server settings behaves weirdly.
Anyone knows what can be done?

i want to know how to do this too... my school is also using the same system.

still no update
no update ??

configfree from Toshiba
Dear,
I had an old E800 from toshiba where configfree is installed. With this program I can configure proxy for wifi in 10 sec and it works.
does someone know where we can find this program for other PDA. I want to try it on my Cruise.
Vincent

I'm also having the same issue. Can anyone help, please?

From my experiences I can tell you: THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE HTC AND HTTP PROXY FOR WIFI RUN. Neither with WM6.0 nor 6.1 nor a special brand nor the original firmware.
I have tried to inform HTC support, but I'm extremely pessemistic, that at least one will care. It seems to be not a WM related problem, because my WM6 ASUS doesn't have that issue.
There is a work around for browsers only: Don't use Pocket IE, use Minimo, because this browswer has it's own proxy setup. But it doesn't help you much, if you want to use other applications.
EDIT: Just to inform you, what happens, if you upgrade to WM6.1: The proxy settings are kept (HURRRAY) ---- but ignored completely It's _that_ brain damaged...
Regards

I can confirm the same "symptoms": proxy is totally being ignored on WM6.1. However, they're kept when you close the settings.

Proxy over WiFi works for me and has done with my previous HTC Wizard and now with my Kaiser. I have checked with a sniffer that I am definitely using the proxy over port 8080 (MS ISA 2006).
I have explained this before but this is how my device is setup.
ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Centre - Connection Settings set to 'This computer is connected to: Work Network' - Setting this to Automatic or The Internet deletes any Proxy Settings on the device when you connect it.
WiFi. My home WiFi SSID Network set to 'Connects to: Work'
Connections. 'Tasks' tab - Two settings 'My ISP' & 'My Work Network'. Advanced Tab, Select Networks. Top settings 'Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: My ISP'. Bottom settings 'Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using: My Work Network'. Under 'My ISP' I have the GPRS details for my carrier (Vodafone). Under 'My Work Network' I have a proxy defined with the Advanced settings configured - HTTP set to my proxy with the port 8080 and Socks set to my proxy with port 1080.
That's it and has worked for me since Windows Mobile 6.0 appeared for the Wizard. I used the same settings when I first got my Kaiser with WM 6.0 and now with WM 6.1 (more or less stock 5.2.19212) and it has worked every time.

WiFi and Proxy
There are too many wifi connection in the present. But the best thing is to choose the right one. Can you tell me to choose the right one with no Proxy service. Thanks

[SOLVED] "My Location" weather only works via WIFI

Is there any reason why I can only update my location when connected through WIFI? Is there a workaround?
[Solved]
Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5902752&postcount=11

There's already a lot of discussion on the "my location" feature.
You should think yourself lucky - mine's NEVER worked, over 2G, 3G, HSDPA or WiFi. It simply doesn't work for me.

Mine was working fine over all mediums until I installed "Touch X Disconnect data after E-mail check" tweak. Now, even after uninstalling it, I still cannot update either email or weather except over WIFI! I think a hardreset is in order here...

I previously had the Touch HD and thought this problem was just a compatibilty issue from using a LEO rom.

Same here mate. I'm very patiently waiting for a workround or fix for this issue. I've never even seen it working! lol

mine works fine anywhere except my home town, that's even more of a kick in the pants as far as i'm concerned. On O2 in the SW. Rivets

Shouldnt this be working :S?

I am in the US on ATT can only use edge, works all the time on edge and wifi, in fact I am amazed how fast it works

any updates on a possible fix for this? Has anyone tried something that worked?
I'm using 2.08 radio with miri 7.0 and I still can't get my location to work over 3g or gprs. It works fine over wifi.

Still broken with CleanEX 0.53 and 2.09 radio

Comm Manager (wireless controls on settings tab) -> Menu -> Connections -> Manage existing connections -> Proxy settings -> untick "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
Try updating from the weather tab. Should work after that.

From my experience, it's also a hit and a miss based on location, rather than settings. I can update weather at my work (about 40 miles from home) no problem, over wifi, 3g etc. I can add a location near my home town, and update that no problem at all, over any connection, however when I am home, I am unable to update my location weather.
I think it must be an issue with location, the town I live in is quite small, but the place I work, is a lot larger.

Works to a fashion!
Mine seems to work ok, but when I am in some parts of Derby (East Mids), it says I am in Southall!! Same on my Old Man's Vodafone HD2.
Mine: 1.43 Stock o2 ROM
Pops: 1.66 Vodafone Updated ROM

I've been searching for this solution to update weather via wifi! But for your solution, i have unticked "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet"
but how to update weather tab? When i go "menu" --> "Weather Settings" --> tick "Download data automatically" and it prompted me, i will be extra charge from internet service provider. and that will switch on my data connection again... headache~~

3G data connection not working for IE Opera and Email

Hi,
I have got a weird problem. I cannot surf the web using IE and opera on my HTC HD or sync emails. althrough the WAP does work with the opera, (haven't try it with IE)
Other applications are working with the 3G data connection e.g skype, AGE phone mobile 2 and facebook.
the last thing I remembered doing was connecting to a wifi network at a family home.
Is there a setting to tell IE or opera which data connction to use?
cheers
Jim

Hi arowana88,
I would advise you try checking whether any changes have been set to your phones Proxy Settings.
Go to Start | Settings | Connections | Connections. Under the 3G Data Connection heading of your ISP, click the 'Set up my proxy server' link. Make sure that the option titled "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" is unticked - you only need to do this if you have problems accessing certain things like email or https (secure) websites.
If this makes no difference, then you can try to hard reset your device.
Hope that helps you out.
Regards.

Email problem

I tried searching the forums but can't find an answer.
I'm in the UK with a t-mobile HD2
I've followed the instructions and have flashed the HSPL and HTC issue roms
The phone currently sits on
OS Ver
5.2.21869
Manila 2.5.19211619.0
Rom
1.66.405.2
Radio
2.06.51.07
Protocol
15.30.50.07u
The problem is that My email (madasafish server and Hotmail) will only download when I'm connected to the wifi at home (not tried it on any other wifi yet) But will not download over any other connection. I have the data switch toggled to On etc.
Any tips please.
Thanks

can you browse the web over mobile data? does weather and such like work when not connected to wifi?

I've got nearly the same problems.
Email will be fetched via WiFi, and (!!) if data connection is OFF :?
If the data connection is on, the email client shows an error. (and - that refers not directly to that email problem - sometimes the data connection loses login information and cannot connect)
you see - you are not alone, but unfortunately I cannot offer a solution...

T-Mob UK sets up a proxy by default, but strangely it won't actually work with it. You just have to disable the proxy settings and it should all work ok.
Settings | Connections | Set up my proxy server, then un-tick the 'This network uses a proxy' box.

That seems to have done the trick. Many thanks.
Will it need turning back on for any reason??

No, there is no reason that I have found to need to turn it back on. I have no idea why they have set it up that way in the first place.
Good luck and now you can enjoy your phone.
Next you will want to get rid of that crappy stock ROM and get one of the chef's ROMs on your device so it will really fly
