Hi guys,
Has anyone been able to configure proxy over wifi? I changed the connection to My Work Network, and changed entered the proxy settings for this connection, but internet is not working for Internet Explorer and Wheater. The only thing I'm able to use is opera, going to the opera:config option and setting the proxy server there.
Using this solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1990412#post1990412, the first time I tried to browse with IE, I was asked for the proxy setting (inside the browser), but I'm not able to do it again.
Hope someone knows the trick.

Hi , i am very new to pocket pc and so far its been good until i decide to use my HTTP proxy server with pocket ie,
firstly i dont get why pocket pc has My isp and My work sections on connection settings
secondly if i setup an gprs apn to isp section i cant use or add proxy server settings to it, if i create same apn on my work network section i can add and use my proxy server, thats ok i went advenced section and changed both (programs that connect to internet and private network) auto. used networks to my networkbut now if i try to get my emails with my ppc outlook can not connect to internet unlesss i change first setting ( programs that connect automaticly to the internet setting) back to my isp and if i do that pocket ie wont use my proxy server, is there any way to use porx server on pocket ie?
i have found my answer:
"Any user or ISP that uses a proxy and still connects directly to the internet will not work. The proxy assumes all connections with a dot in the name go to the proxy and that the proxy supports socks or winsock to connect. So company's that use a proxy to speed up access to the internet like when you use wireless will experience issues with e-mail due to this issue. So with the connection to Work, you can get to the web but no otherservice. So if you set it to The Internet then you can get e-mail but no web. "

My university WLAN network uses a proxy server for browsing.
Now, I can easily connect my O2 Exec with the university network but I end up browsing only the internal network. I don't know how to set up Pocket IE and/or Opera to browse through the proxy.
I couldn't find any setting in the browser or anywhere else to enter the proxy.
The only option for setting up a proxy is in the Connection Settings but I believe those connection settings are for GPRS and MMS and not for WLAN.
How do I browse on my WLAN with proxy? :?
Hi guys,
Well I have searched everywhere and found nothing.
Well my college has wifi but it uses a proxy to access the internet.
So in Internet explorer on my desktop/laptop there is a direct option in the lan settings to specify a proxy ip and prot.
how do i do the same for my xda2s running 5.0.
thanks
Hello,
The way to go about doing this is to set up a proxy server under Start> Setings>Connections>Connections. Under My Work Network, select "Set Up My Proxy Server" and check the boxes for "This Network connects to the internet" and "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet". Click on the "advanced" setting which should open up a window where you can choose your proxy port and enter your port address & numbers. Note when using pass through or any other connection that doesnt use the same proxy, make sure you turn your proxy port settings off (by unchecking the "this NW uses proxy port" check box). I hope this solves your problem.
Alternatively, a solution I've found which works is to use Opera Mobile - you can specify an HTTP and/or HTTPS proxy to use (in the form of hostname/iport) and then when you connect it just asks you to authenticate against it and boom: you're good to go.
No more faffing about with My Work Network, half the time I could never get connectivity with my Alpine when I did it like that (which meant it tried to dial up to the GPRS)... However if I'm not using Opera for one reason or another, I will use the My Work Network method with my TyTn. Both ways work just as well, I just think the Opera solution is neater because you can just set all your wifi networks as 'connects to the Internet'.

i think it may work
it worked for me
I've searched for this but can't find it - apologies if i've missed it!
Ok, the problem is at home my wireless works perfectly on the x1 - on the computer you simply set explorer/firefox to auto-detect the proxy settings, but at school where a proxy server (192.168.xxx.xxx) is needed, no applications will work via wireless on the x1, just by contract wap.
On opera I manages to find opera:config where i tried changing the http and https proxies (together and seperately) but whenever i look back at it these boxes are blank and unchecked - can anyone help?
I have a problem with using the proxy.
I have mobile internet, but need to use a proxy server to get my e-mail from work. The only problem is that when I have the proxy ON, some programs don't have connection to the internet.
Is there a way to make a manual selection of which programs use the proxy and which don't?
many thanks!
Timo
