I can use internet on desktop but not in Metro apps so I got the solution in the form of fiddler. What's the issue actually that I have to use fiddler to bypass my traffic ? Is there any permanent solution except it ? Which update caused the issue ??
Sounds like your Internet connection requires a proxy. Most (though by no means all) desktop apps will automatically use proxy settings, but Metro apps don't. The steps needed to make Metro apps go through Fiddler *should* also work for making it go through whatever proxy your Internet connection is using, assuming that's actually the problem.
If that's not the problem, then I have no idea what's going on. What version of Windows are you running? Are you on a local network or directly connected to the Internet? How long ago did this problem start, and did you do anything to/with your Internet connection around that time?
I use latest Windows 8.1 update 2. It was started way back in June-July after I installed some Windows Updates. I couldn't open any site through my browsers, I noticed that some proxy settings were already put automatically after installing updates. I haven't touched anything. I removed those settings and made it back to normal and I could access internet but boom...not a single metro app worked, this happened to my colleague's lappy,too. Right now without adding proxy, desktop apps work very fine, I mean even if I select option of no proxy but no metro app can access internet.
Should I try to uninstall those updates ??

I am using the Htc Tytn/Hermes and have active sync installed on my windows xp service pack 2 desktop.
I can download virus updates and play Open Arena online but i cannot access the internet through my browsers(IE and Firefox)?? My windows firewall is turned off and i dont have any other firewall installed. I tried re-installing active sync as well
It was working last week, so im not sure what i have done. The only 2 programs i have installed that i think would affect my access would be hamachi, a vpn client and FoxServ, a local web server with Apache, MySQL and PHP. I have uninstalled hamachi and i still have no change?!?
I tried system restore as well and because its a new pc i dont have any restore points from when it was working to test with
Basically i can use anything(skype,updating etc) but my browsers which is pretty pointless..anybody have any ideas
PS i also tried switching it from normal to advanced network functionality on my device for usb to pc connection??
i have just downloaded the latest version of active sync to see if that will make a difference, i will only be able to test later though.
i have tried the latest version of active sync and still no internet access through the browsers..anybody with ANY ideas?
Try going backwards
You say you havent done much but install a couple of programs?
How about uninstalling these programs and working backwards till you find the source of the problem.
i tried that as well but i eventually got it sorted out,i had avast! installed and something in the program was blocking net eaccess to port 80 which is the http port and not actually blocking the browsers. so i uninstalled it and popped in avg and the problems fixed..finally. its weird cause i never changed any settings in avast to activate it in the first place.
My Schools network uses clean access agent, which checks to make sure your windows device has the correct authentication. It will not let me go on ie, as it sees that I do not have the correct Virus protection etc. However it lets you use Opera, as it just lets it bypass the checks because none are in place for it.
I can use Opera or Skyfire, that isn't a prob. But when I try to use a program that connects to the Internet such AIM or QuickGPS, It won't work. Im assuming that the program is using IE to access the data. Although I have no idea how a program connects to the Internet (Does it use a browser?) Anyway, is there a way I can change the settings to get the program to use Opera?
Thanks,
I'm not sure that it will work, but you could try changing your default browser.
There are many threads in the forum with this information, Here's one, do a search for others.
hey, if you talk to your university's computer support team, they may tweak their internet settings so mobile browsing can work. i go to western connectisut state university, and i e-mailed the computer center with this problem (i dormed on campus and the ResiNET they used blocked me as well b/c i didnt install clean access agent. the university's network read my device as if it was a desktop since they blocked me saying i needed to install that ****ty software). once i did that, they e-mailed me back saying they updated their systems so i was able to use the web-based login, and then i began surfing the net. once u logged in, you should be able to update the GPS & use AIM with no real problems.
i hope this helps! there isn't a real way to bypass the system. believe me, i tried searching for ways to bypass the system. changing your default browser won't remedy it b/c the network only reads IP addresses and the fact information (doesn't matter what it is) is being pass through its network, it will block it without proper ID keys from the web-based log in. i even tried searching for a mobile version of cisco clean access agent but there isnt such software. like i said, talk to your university computing center and they can help you. it is really up to them to be able to change the settings around.
This may have been mentioned many times before, but for the life of me i cant find anything specific that actually worked.
I am on Vodafone Live! connection which goes through a proxy to connect me to the internet. Being that the case i cannot connect to WLM or any other chat program.
On various sites i saw about a program that creates rules on programs and it forces them to go through the proxy to reach the internet. the program is ProxyCap.
Does anyone know how to configure the program correctly so that i am able to log in to msn?
On a Windows XP machine that would be correct. I use the same proxy.pac file at work. But what im talking about is Winows Mobile.
I cant find any registry hacks where i could force the program to go through a certain IP and port...
I have no idea what I did before this happen since I only need the service at certain places, so here goes...
I work at an airport that offers free WiFi to travelers. The WiFi is open without a key but when browsing, it redirects you to their proxy which has you click on a button that says you accept their User Agreement. Then you have full access to the Internet.
At school, the same thing. An unsecured WiFi access point, with a proxy that requires me to login with my school user id and password.
The reason I know it's the phone and not the connection, is that my Samsung Jack finds the proxy at work.
Please help,
Thanks
You never really stated what the problem was... is it not finding the proxy, or not letting you log in?
WM doesn't have proxy autoconfig script support, but Opera Mobile does. You need to type in the proxy settings yourself manually (by setting it to "Work" network). When you use the browser it should prompt you for credentials automatically.
Talk about rambling without saying anything at all...
My problem is finding the proxy server. Both IE and Opera found it. Once I get to the page, accepting the agreement and logging on worked fine. I never had to manually configure proxy settings when it did work.
I hope when I am able to get to the page I won't have that problem too.
Thanks
I figured it out. I remembered that I had installed Lookout Mobile Security and checked the Firewall settings. I disabled it and it worked.
Is a security app really necessary on a mobile?
I've never found the need for AV/Firewall software on a mobile (didn't even know firewalls for WinMo existed!)
There are very, very few WinMo viruses around and I've never got one. Then again, I've never got a Windows (PC) virus either... as long as you don't install suspicious software then you should be fine.
I have recently purchased an LG Vortex that comes with the Android 2.2 operating system installed. I have looked into rooting my phone with z4root and have successfully temporarily rooted my phone. I would rather keep my phone unrooted, but if it is absolutely necessary I will root it permanently with z4root.
My question is this: How can I connect to my company wifi and use apps that require wifi?
I can successfully connect to my corporate wifi through the 802.1x EAP protocol. The problem comes when trying to access any of the apps that require internet (I am forcing Verizon's data plan not to be used--using wifi only due to 150MB limit on my data to save $$ per month). None of my apps seem to work--internet browser, Market, Gmail, Google Calendar, etc...
On my company pc I know that within internet explorer the box is checked that says "Use automatic configuration script" and gives an "Address" that is in the format of "..../proxy.pac" It looks like my work uses a proxy for things to connect to the internet. I have no such place to put this information in my LG Vortex. I downloaded an app that seemed promising called "Proxy Settings" which will allow me to enter in the following Hostname and Port. When I tried to enter the "..../proxy.pac" as the hostname it gave me an error stating "The hostname you typed is not valid."
Is there an app or something that will allow me to use my apps when connecting to my corporate wifi? Is it a proxy setting thing or a VPN thing? I am not sure. I am open to any and every idea so that I can use my phone's online features while connected to my company's wifi.
FYI - I have friends that have iPod touches and they are able to connect to the internet with some apps internet browsing and downloading apps, but they have a similar issue of not being able to use all of their apps as well. I believe they were able to put the "..../proxy.pac" address in their devices somewhere.
Thanks!
abarkena, check out Autoproxy on the market. You can add a new proxy, put in the address to the proxy.pac file, and it will connect to the correct proxy every time. It works for market, maps, gmail, the works.
That's also good if you're on a network where they keep changing the proxy (like the place I work).
