Hi all,
currently I'm using the "internet sharing" feature to use my phome wm 6.5 as bluethoot modem to connect internet
Now I want to connect my company network using a private apn which require a dynamic password provided by a token.
There is no any way to provide the password directly using the computer keyboard?
Or there is not any other way to configure in a easy way this connection each time?
Seem impossible to put the password in the connection settings, launch the internet sharing and set up the bluetooth connection in one minute!
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I have a XDA 2 which works almost perfectly, the gprs settings connect me to the internet and ms messener. I have a small piece of vpn softwate that allows me to connect to my work network and use the intranet there using netfront/pie. I have an IM application that resorts to using the default network option (i think) when the application is started it disconnect gprs and my work vpn and then attempts to connect using the MMS O2 gprs setting and no amount of fiddling with the xda 2 can fix this, my IM app does not have a select adapter option.
Does anyone know where this is stored so that it can be deleted completely? I have found the settings in mms composer but I am unable to delete it?
It does nto show up in the standard network settings either.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks andi
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.
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'.

Hi
I am trying to setup my o2 exec to send and receive email from my work.
I have to dial in to a modem using a user id and password. I then have to use a 2nd id and password to access the email. Has anyone got any tips on how to do this? I have all the settings and can get a pc with modem to work ok.
I have tried to setup a modem using the settings I have, and I have tried to setup an email account to use the modem but I keep getting no modem on this connection. If I dial the connection number on a landline I can here the modem connection.
Any help would be appreciated. Fast running out of Nurofen Plus
Thanks

Are the modem connected to your PC or it's a wireless modem and connected to your PPC?
Hi ranju
What I need to do is to connect my xda exec to my work dial-up by just using the xda not any external modem or pc
ph236
First of all, you should be able for accessing internet from your ppc through activesync or wireless connection.
Now, create a new pop3 account in ppc. Follow the steps:
1. enter the email address
2. your name, email user id (i.e. [email protected]), password and tick on save password.
3. account type (i.e. pop3).
4. server address (i.e. in = pop.gmail.com, out = smtp.gmail.com).
5. click on options. select the connection to be used.
6. click on next. uncheck incomming ssl authentication (in case of gmail), check outgoing authentication (in case of gmail) and uncheck use separate settings.
7. finish and close messaging client.
8. open the messaging client and click on send receive.
Hope it will help. You may also do a softreset after the configuration.
Hi ranju
I need to be able to connect via the dial-up modem at work and my exda on the move using the in built phone.
I need to dial into the modem from my xda to the work modem. make a connection using user id and password.
When the connection is established I then need to use a second id and password to get to my email store.
I won't have a pc connection during any of this.
Sorry if I was a bit misleading.

Let's try to split a problem into 2 parts.
1) Establish a connection using your GSM connection (without GPRS) = "dial-into" your work server.
2) Check your mail.
So, for 1)
you need your XDA to recognise ISP/Work mode properly first.
By default Work mode is for addresses that are either without dots (e.g. server1), or those found on exception list (e.g. intra.company.com/*), otherwise ISP mode is used.
In Settings > Connections, under Connections, there's Advanced tab where you can find Exceptions list. Add your company intranet mask to it.
Then under same Settings/Connections/Connections, go to Tasks tab, Configure your ISP for normal GPRS, so you're still able to browse Internet via GPRS. But configure your WORK connection using modem! Enter name and select for a modem "Cellular Line" AND NOT "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)" or others. It will ask you for number to be dialed to work server. Best if you put it in international format. Then enter usename, password and domain on the next screen - and Advanced will give you more options like "Software Compression" or "IP Header Compression".
On Advanced tab select Dialing Rules... button if you have different rules of dialing to work depending on where you are. This would only be needed if your charges for local phone call are different from national number.
Now any attempt to get some data from server1 or server1.intra.company.com will automatically connect you to WORK via your chosen way - that is just modem. If you have modem and VPN, modem takes precedence.
2) Configure your mail client as usual. Be sure that your mailserver name falls into "Work" category: either just Netbios name or DNS name which responds to Exceptions list. Attempt to Send/Receive should refer to this server which in turn should cause dialing via normal modem and not GPRS with automatic username/password provision.
ranju has already provided instructions on how to deal with Email configuration
That's all folks!
Ta-da.
Hi EastExpert.
Thanks for the info I will give a try. Hopefully I can lay off the nurofen for a while.
If I have any difficulties is it ok if I ask for your expertise again.
Cheers

ok, i'll put this in a different way from my last post that got no replies. all windows mobile devices have the same connection set up, right? if i know that aljawal-saudi uses proxy.jawalnet.com.sa then if i put those settings in any windows mobile device---wouldn;t the gprs work? i tried and it did not work(htc tytn11) so whats up? is there anything else that could effect the gprs not working? i do have an internet account and it works on my other phone. i'm afraid to buy any windows mobile device until i get an answer to this. saudi arabia does not have the machine preconfigured for gprs settings. thanks
normal one would put in
acesspoint
user
password
and then maybe a proxy
acesspoint
user
and
password
is given by the phone company
Try this
Firts of all, delete all of connection except 'My ISP' and 'My Network Setting' (under advanced tab of connection setting propty), and also delete connection under My ISP.
On the ..internet list box, make new connection, So you have three type of connection, ISP, Work and yours. Give name and then add new modem connection,
give apn, user, pass.
Go to proxy. Enter your proxy, and decide what type your proxy is, wether socks 4 or 5. You may need password for this. Ask your provider.
Note, leave the other connection blank (ISP n Work Setting)
