So I'm trying to change the default internet profile (Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks).
This is the network management screen that allows you to change between "My ISP" and "My Work Network" profiles. I need "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" to be changed to "My Work Network" in a programmatic manner.
I have went thru the OMA client provisioning documentation and tried several ways to get this to switch and have been unsuccessful. In particular I have played with the CM_NetEntries quite a bit. This documentation seems to indicate that you can change the profile itself (My ISP or My Work Network) to point to a different provider (Internet or Private network). Is this what I should be doing? Or should I instead be trying to literally switch the selected profile over? Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!
I think that is going to be hard, but which language are you using?
Right now I'm just using rapiconfig to provision the device with the xml doc. If I can get that to work, I'll wrap it into a .cpf and just install it. If I actually have to code, I prefer C#.

I'm using an XDA2 with the latest public ROM version from O2.
I have three GPRS connections that I use - the Internet, a work VPN, and WAP.
For day to day work I tend to use just the Internet and work VPN. Sometimes, however, I also use WAP.
Is there an easy way of connecting to WAP WITHOUT having to go into the connection manager and change my Internet settings from the Internet connection to the WAP connection?
Or, is there a better Connection Manager out there that can handle more than 2 connections?
Or, finally, is there a way to detect that a WAP connection is needed, and connect as required?
An alternative would be a program that allows you to, with the click of a button, select the two connections that you want to use (i.e. profile 1 is VPN and WAP and profile 2 is VPN and Internet).
Thanks!
I have exactly the same problem.
Too many operations to change the connection!!!
Someone any ideas?
Same here .. Having the same issue ..
It is inefficient to change the connection through Conn Manager ..
Perhaps can we do it through registry change? i.e. create several registry files, and just click the one we need when we want to connect to certain profile ..
Tried to look through the registry setting for Conn Manager, but it is confusing, they are using so many {436EF144- ....}, {18AD9FBD- ..} thingy
Maybe some expert can help here?
Thanks
Back From The Grave!!!
I was wondering the same thing!
I hate to say it, but the iPhone does wifi much simpler than Windows Mobile -- just flick a software switch and you're on, no changing settings, and no changing back when you go offline.
It's over 10 taps in Windows Mobile to do the same thing! I know there just HAS to be a simpler way to do this!
you can make you life a easier if you create a shortcut of the remnet.exe (inside the windows directory) to the start menu folder
rename "shortcut to remnet" to "connections"
Hello,
i've been searching around the web for a definitive explanation of the communication settings (Wep, Wap, GPRS, Internet, ISP, Wlan, etc.) in WM2006.
I can usually fiddle my way through setting something up, that seems to work...but i never know exactly why or what i did!
Now that i've got the HTC tytnII with built in Wlan this has become even more complicated.
For example, sometimes when i have an active Wlan connection and am surfing the internet, the phone connection pops up and asks me to connect via GPRS (Wap or Wep).
This is something that i've been confused about for some time anyway: how doese the unit know which way it should connect to the internet when i start an application?
IN any case, i've now been searching for a definitive explanation of the various settings contained in WM6.
Is there somewhere a good explanation of how it all works, so that i can understand the various settings?
Thanks in advance for any help....

Same here, I'd also like to know the difference.
For example, right now I seem to be able to configure a specific network connection to use for my Gmail synchronization. However, this ranges from 'The Internet' to 'My Internet', and just don't forget 'Work'.
Having a more profound understanding of these 'networks' and how to properly configure them is vital in this day where devices can also connect to the net using USB/ActiveSync and Wifi.
For some reason I've done this a thousand times but its not working this time. I'm pretty sure I've set this up right but its not working. 1st question: Is it possible to send MMS messages through 'internet2.voicestream.com'? It works through 'wap.voicestream.com', but then GPRS/EDGE wont work through that, it will only work through 'internet2.voicestream.com'. In addition to that, the auto switch isn't working for me. The MMS is trying to use 'internet2.voicestream.com' and the GPRS/EDGE is trying to use 'wap.voicestream.com'. 2nd question: Is there a way to set this up MANUALLY, without a provisioning cab? I hate those things, they add in other customizations that I don't like or want.

I've been using the T-mo cab since day 5 (days 1-4 I was racking my brain trying to get MMS to work) and it configures the connections as follows:
-Use internet2... under "My ISP" (or "T-Mobile US" in your case)
-Use wap... under "My Work Network" and change the "Connect via:" setting under MMS settings appropriately. Also, proxy settings are enabled for this connection ("This network connects...." and "This network uses..." both checked, proxy server blank, and under advanced settings: WAP server is: 216.155.165.50:9201)
-Network management (under the advanced tab of connections) => "My ISP" in the top, and "My Work Network" in the bottom.
The autopick within a connection never seemed to work for me, but the above works fine. In order to send an MMS, you must first disconnect from your GPRS/EDGE connection (alternatively, MMS will be the first to connect when recovering from a dropped data connection).
Hope that helps, if not just run the provisioning cab...hell-of-a-lot easier and I don't see what "other" things are added, all it does is set up the network connections and all the settings, nothing more, nothing less. Filename of the one I've been using for quite some time is T-Mobile_USA_Internet_UNI_SA_V2.0.CAB

on the contrary. when you open the cab you find all sorts of new favorites, changed home page, setup.dlls, and other customizing crap.
i've tried your way in the past. it does work. but i also know there is a way to get the auto pick to work. it has worked in the past. i just cant figure it out again.

Dunno which CAB you've been looking at, but the one I use has 4 files: an XML file for network settings, registry settings file (for MMS), and Check/Recheck executables for installation. No changes to favs, home page, etc...
The is the same one I've been using since grabbing from I-Mate's website back in Oct. '05.

well the ones from tmobile's extended rom do. and quite simply put, i dont want to use a provisioning cab.
now the question at hand is... has anyone gotten the auto pick to work with manual configuration and not with provisioning cabs
Odd wap.voicestream.com works fine for me for my edge connection. Makes it real easy to send an MMS no dropping connections or anything. I've used the above mention method using two different settings before works fine but not the autopick method.
Hi,
Does anyone know if i can point both "My ISP" and "My Work Network" to the same connection.
Ive done a query on CM_GPRSentries and i have alterd the xml but i cant get it to work. I want the connection to have two DestID´s and that doesnt seem possible.
Also ive been faffin about in the "Connection settings" but its a no go.
Anyone got any pointers???
I hope im clear enough for someone.
thanx in advance.
Don't think it's possible, you can do it other way round though, if there's any value for you in this. E.g. set up the same connection (e.g. My Work Network) as preferred both for programs that connect to Internet and programs that connect to your workplace. Not sure what exact steps are required to set this up via XML provisioning though.
I'm sorry to bring this up again folks, I have read and searched forum for similar threads but am still confused.
I find the WM6.1 network connections interface very confusing. Can anyone tell me step by step how to setup vodafone?
Should it be setup as part of "My Work Network" or as its own "Vodafone Live" ?
When I set it up, I still want my phone to use my WiFi connection at home as default, and only use vodafone live if I specifically tell it to. Is this possible ?
Under Netwotk Management
Surely "programs that auto connect to the internet" and "programs that auto connect to a private network" would be one and the same no ? What about when we use our private network to connect to the internet (via router etc) ??
as I say, I find the entire windows mobile networking system a mess, very confusing and have never gotten vodafone live working properly.
btw, my phone is HTC Touch HD
Many thanks for any desperately needed help
Update...
If I setup the phone to use just "My Work Network" under both "programs that auto connect to the internet" and under "programs that auto connect to a private network"....
and then manually setup vodafone under the "My Work Network" device as follows...(using my local vodafone settings)
1. add new modem connection
2. name it (vodafone etc)
3. select modem to cellular line (gprs, 3g)
4. enter apn "live.vodafone.com"
5. username and password - "vodafone"
6. under "My Work Network" setup proxy as 10.24.59.100
7. under advanced set socks to 10.24.59.100:1080
Then it works. I can disable wifi, enable data connection and browse the internet.
THE PROBLEM here, is that if I go into college, and use my phone over their wifi, the proxy server gets changed thus disabling vodafone all over again.
So, it works if you set it up manually under the "My Work Network" device. But I need it set it up as a seperate device so that the proxy doesnt get messed up. I have tried editing the auto created "vodafone live" device, it just wont work. I tried editing the "my isp" device but that has no proxy setting.
Can anyone please help me make any frickin sense of this. ?
This is my premiere post on xda.
I don't seem to figure out how to access my network shares through the HD2 filemanager.
Everytime I try to go to Filemanager\Menu\GoTo\Open path\New Path ... and state something like: \\Server\Share and hit Go. I end up with a stopsign.
"It's not possible to connect" I'm then presented with 2 choices.. "Settings" and "Close"
Heading towards settings brings me to "connections", and I probably have something not quite right there.
I have two sections. My PhoneCompany Internet Settings and "My worknetwork". However I'm only able to play with Modem, VPN or Proxies there. Can't really figure out what to do here.
Anyone with the key to success willing to share this divine knowledge?
I can connect to a share using a UNC path over WIFI with no problem. I don't use the inbuilt file manager, I'm using Total Commander.
I shared a folder on my desktop PC (Windows 7) and the put the path (\\PC-Name\Share-Name\), username and password into the LAN settings in TC and it connected right away.
I use it quite a bit to transfer files to/from PC and phone.
Give TC a go. Linky
You don't need Total Commander at all.
To get File manager to connect to shares over Wifi, do this...
Go to the Settings tab, then touch MENU, All Settings
Touch CONNECTIONS
Touch CONNECTIONS
Touch the ADVANCED tab
Touch SELECT NETWORKS
You will see two separate settings, one for "Programs that connect automatically to the Internet" and one for "Programs that connect automatically to a private network".
You will probably see the top one is set up to connect to your service provider's GPRS (in my case it says "Virgin GPRS").
The bottom one is probaby set to "My Work Network". The problem is, "My Work Network" isn't set up to do anything, it's a dummy setting.
So change it to be the same as the top one, again in my case "Virgin GPRS".
Then touch OK, OK, OK, X
Now you can go into File Explorer and connect to your file shares on your PC, using...
MENU, Go To, Open Path, New Path...
Type in \\servername\sharename
and unless your security is set up wrong, it should connect.
Hope this works for everyone.
Incidentally, when you try to connect, you may find it first connects to your service provider, but then it uses the Wifi. Don't panic!
