proxy for pocket ie

I just got my kjam today, about 5 hours ago, just took it off the charge like 4 hours ago and loving it so far. but my problem...:
I connect to my wireless router fine but my internet uses a proxy, so how do i set the proxy on pocket ie?(my isp requires i use a proxy to browse the net)
If i can't set a proxy on pocket ie, does netfront work with wm5 and does it support proxies?

ok, this i havent tested this but think its right:
On your wireless settings page (start/settings/connections/network cards/
Pick the wireless SSID relating to your home WLAN, click (not hold, just click) it'll open the config screen. in the connects to box, change to "my work network" or another network if you have edited networks already.
ok out back to the connections page
open "connections" under "my work network" configure the proxy server
Hopefully this will now work

there is no "my work network" under connections it just has my wap and gprs connection.
also i installed netfront and put the proxies in there but still nothing.

in that case try:
settings/connections
Advanced tab
select networks
programs wich automatically connect to the internet should use:
- click new
Make a new wifi network setting (call it whatver, wifi or your ISP name it doesn't matter)
Configure the proxy for that setting.
Revert to reply 1 to change the wifi SSID connection to associate with the new wifi network, and it will use the proxy settings you specified.
(hopefully!)

alright, i did as you said but i have another problem now. it won't even connect to my router. I took the WEP key i had off and still, wont connect. and yes its on mixed (b&g)
It says available then i click and hold click on connect. it says connecting then goes back to available... and wififofum does no good when i click on connect.

pocket ie uses my work network proxy settings and if you setup that way then it wont connect via wifi or/and messenger wont connect to the internet, i use netfront mostly better then pocket ie

i gave me kjam a static ip and it connects to the router right away, but still no browsing. im using netfront as well but every time i open it up i get an error and the "error reporting" thing comes up and asks me if i want to send the error.. is netfront WM5 compatible?
-update-
I just installed netfront v3.3 and connected to my wireless network and its giving me this error: "Cannot load page. TypeNS no server is specified" where to i specify the dns server? couldn't find it in netfront so its gonna be in the network settings of the kjam..
-UPDATE-
I GOT IT!!! IT WORKS.. wow ok but one last question, when you go to start>settings>connections>Network Cards and then click on "Network Adapters" on the bottomw, which one is the built in wifi card cuz i set the IP and DNS for like 4 of those adappters.
-FINAL UPDATE-
so i accidently hard reset my device but it did me some good. cuz i did a soft reset after the setup process and now have no junk apps installed
but i installed netfront 3.3 and set the proxies init, connected to my wireless network and it worked right away. msn messenger still isn't working but i installed IM+ and that works. i`m posting this using my kjam so all is well

Using more than two proxies

I have a WM5 device (HTC Wizard) and have the following situation:
My "Home" connection uses a proxy to connect to the internet over GPRS (from phone company) -- this works fine.
My "Work" connection uses a different proxy to connect to the internet over wifi (from my work) -- this works fine.
If I want to connect to a third network (my home wifi connection, an internet cafe) that doesn't use a proxy (or uses a different proxy) I need to modify the "Home" connection to remove the phone company proxy settings -- then this works fine. But when I want to get back on my GPRS connection, I need to go modify the proxy configuration again to put the settings back in.
Is there an easier way to move between >2 proxy configurations than setting/clearing/modifying the proxy configuration every time I move between networks? I'm looking for solutions native in the device - I'm sure there are hacks like setting up my own proxy and screwing with the forwarding rules to identify "phone is on WLAN, go directly to internet" vs. "phone is connecting from GPRS, chain through phone company proxy" which will cause me about as many headaches as just manually entering the information. Thanks in advance for any replies.

easist way is to set up a third connection with no proxy....

Have you actually tried doing this? WM5 supports two connections - one for automatic connections (which by default it calls "Home"), one for VPN (which by default it calls "Work"). I could create another network connection profile, but that trade-off is between a) reconfiguring the single network connection profile that my "Home" connection uses (via my provider's proxy or not) for b) reconfiguring which of two network connections the "Home" network connection selects. I don't want another bunch of clicks to jump through as I move from network to network, I want it to Just Work. I'd like the decision tree to go:
if (secured resource)
..use VPN ("Work")
else
..if (preferred network available)
....// this would be my 802.11 nets
....// each of which may have proxy information associated with it
....use that network (afaict, NYI)
..else
....use GPRS ("Home")
But it appears to be:
if (secured resource)
..use VPN ("Work")
else
..use GPRS ("Home")

A bit of an ugly workaround would be to use Opera Mobile - you can manually specify HTTP and/or HTTPS proxies in its own Preferences, as well as any proxy info you might have set up in your work profile.
As of yet, I've not found a way to have more than one proxied profile preconfigured, which is annoying as different buildings in my Uni use different wifi networks with their own proxies and ports typical.

proxy setting for wireless

I have a problem of setting up http proxy server for my wireless connection.
What I have done is:
1. in settings -> connections
automatically connecting to internet by using: My ISP
automatically connecting to private network by using: My Work Network.
2. In My Work Network -> proxy settings
ticks, this network connects to internet
ticks,this network use a proxy server to connect to internet.
advanced:
HTTP: proxy.proxy.proxy: 8080
3. Set my wireless connection connect to Work network.
However, after the wireless was enabled, my proxy setting alway vanished away, like I haven't setup any proxy setting at all.
If I want to try to re-set my proxy server again in My Work Network. It will vanished away when I back to setting panel.
But if I disable the wireless connection, then my proxy setting can stay there. If my wireless turned on again, my proxy setting would gone immdiately.
Do you know what's wrong?

Go to MediaNet, tap proxy settings. check the top box; uncheck the lower box, then go back to ISP.

WiFi only works if Data Connection is active

Hello.
Today I downloaded Office 2010 for my HD Mini. After completing the phone restarted.
I then tried to check my email, which failed with a 'no connection' error. I checked the the WiFi was on (it was) and tried again, no luck. I then noticed that the little 'Data Connection' icon was not displayed in the taskbar. I went to Settings>Wireless controls>Data connection and turned this on. Now I could check emails, surf the internet, all as normal. I am sure that this was being done using the WiFi due to the speed of pages loading. But surely I shouldn't need to turn on a Data connection, to use WiFi?

Mine is havin a similar problem. I am not able to surf even if I connet to my wifi. Only after enabling the data connection it starts work. Though I am not sure which internet its using. Since it was kind of slow.
Don't know for sure if its a bug or hardware issue but it is something. Someone pls help.

Well. I think I might have found the problem here. I was looking for the setting to turn Wi-Fi off automatically after a few minutes and I came across the setting for DNS Address, I have manually assigned an IP addresses on my Wi-Fi as otherwise my Apple Mac and Windows PC's can't see the printer, I had assigned an IP address and the Gateway address for the router, but I had not found the panel for DNS servers, I had assumed that the DNS server would be located automatically - it appears this is not the case and the HTC HD Mini was using the GPRS DNS server to locate the IP addresses before downloading the pages via the Wi-Fi connection.
So, if suffering from not being able to access the internet on Wi-Fi without a GPRS connection being made try the following:
Settings >
Wireless Controls >
Wi-Fi >
Advanced (Button) >
Adaptor and Networks >
Network Adapters (Tab) >
Tap on - Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter >
Name Server (Tab)
Enter your router DNS server in the appropriate section
Click Done.
Not sure if this is required...
What is the DHD adapter???
I did enter both my IP and DNS settings here though... Just in case!
Tap on - Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter >
Name Server (Tab)
Enter your router DNS server in the appropriate section
Click Done.
Then back out of all the menus/pages.
This worked for me. Worth a try?

[Q] CM7 7 802.1x connection problems

Hello:
Hoping for some help here, as I'm out of ideas.
I a running CM7 7.1 stable release on my nook color. Ever since I rooted to CM7 several months ago, I've been unable to maintain a stable connection to my university's 802.1x network. Here's what happens, from the beginning:
NC finds the signal, and I enter in my credentials as per these instructions from the university website:
"Configuration settings for BU (802.1x)
Your device may not require all of the settings included below.
Connect to: BU (802.1x)
EAP method: PEAP
Phase 2 Authentication: None (if available) or MSCHAPV2
CA Certificate: N/A (only option)
Client Certificate: N/A (only option)
Identity: <BU login name>
Anonymous Identity: <BU login name>
Wireless Password: <Kerberos password>
Related: use Automatic IP for your BU network connections
When you use BU wireless (or any BU network connection), your device should be set to use an automatic (dynamic) IP address — never use a static IP. This setting is usually already chosen on your Android device, but should you ever want to check it, here is the sequence of commands to use.
To make sure you are using Auto IP, go to:
Settings,
Wireless & Networks,
Wi-Fi Settings
Click the ‘Settings’ button
Choose Advanced Settings
And enable Auto IP"
Doing so will establish a connection. I'll get a couple of bars, but not full strength wireless. Eventually at some point, as I move from one app requiring wireless to another--let's say I switch from Pulse to the browser, or just change pages on my browser--the connection drops. I go back to the wifi settings and attempt to reconnect to the network. Sometimes it works, but eventually it will start refusing to connect, and I'll have to forget the network, restart wifi and add the network again. But the drops are so frequent that it's not even worth it since they constantly interrupt browsing, etc. So I've been just been tethering off my cell phone.
Stock nook had no problem holding a connection, hp touchpad (webOS) has no problem, nor does the laptop. I've researched here and other forums and haven't found a worthwhile solution. I know other people are having no problems maintaining a connection at their schools. I ran wifi ace and saw that there are multiple channels broadcasting BU's wifi signal--my guess is that the nook is jumping from one channel to another and losing connection along the way, perhaps? I'm no tech guru so it's just a guess.
I'm at my wits end and have exhausted all options I could access before posting here. Any help/advice/assistance to help me hold a stable connection to this 802.1x connection is MUCH APPRECIATED!
