Help me connect my MDA to my laptop

I have a local dial-up connection that I would like to use to connect my laptop to the internet. I see the program "modem link", but it does not allow me to put my settings in there... any suggestions? Your help is very much appreciated.

The settings for Internet connection is at
Start -> Settings -> Connection (bottom tab) -> Connections
Click on the "Add a new modem connection"

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.

Connections - Some Help Required

Guys,
I'm hoping somebody with some time can just help me out here. My Touch HD is on Vodafone (UK) and I have some issues with connectivity.
I have a home wireless network, along with "Contract Internet" provided by Vodafone. If I start by telling you what I'm after. I basically want all my applications to use my "Contract Internet" network (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA) by default, providing that there is NO active Wifi connection or USB connection. If there is, it is to use that.
Now the problem I have is that the only way I could ensure that my device connected to a) my home resources and shares (pc's and printers) and b) connect through my wireless router for gateway access to the internet (without the net attempting to launch GPRS connection) was to set both "Programs that automatically connect to the internet....." and "Programs that connect to a private network...." connection networks (Start, Settings, Connections, Networks, Network Management) to display "My Work Network" - this seems to allow that....however, when not connected to wifi, the GPRS or Contract Internet connection launches fine, but doesn't allow access to lots of applications which normally would utilise the network....only the internet works. Windows Live, RDP, you name it.....it doesn't work....unless I switch back the "Programs that automatically connect to the internet....." connection to "Contract Internet"
Ideas...help...please!
Cheers in advance

**bump** Please - at my wits end!

Wifi connected to Internet/Work bug

I don't know if this is a bug or if it is supposed to be this way, but if I tell the wifi connection to connect to internet I can't access my network shares I have on my computers on the network, but if I choose connect to work then it will work, but the problem is that if I choose work some applications that uses the internet will not work, Marketplace for example. How do I configure Wifi so it can access my home network and at the same time all internet applications will work?

I don't know for sure if this will help but you could try the following:
Start -> Settings -> Menu: All Settings -> Connections -> Connections - Advanced -> Select Networks.
Set your data connection from your provider in both options ("Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using" and "... to a private network should connect using"). Tap OK.
The network you selected should have "This network connects to the internet" checked in it's proxy settings. That way you're telling the phone that you don't have a dedicated work connection . Make sure your WFi connects to the internet as well.
This is how my phone is setup, and everything seems to be working (shares and internet access on LAN via WiFi) just fine. I specified also that "my computer connects to - the internet" in Mobile Device Center -> connection settings...
Maybe this will work? I'm really not sure, just a guess. There is some logic in it, but the Data connection settings shouldn't affect WiFi...
Grtz
