Easy way to switch proxy servers

I have an 8125 and access the internet in 3 different ways:
1: work uses a proxy for their secure wi-fi network
2: Cingular uses proxy for gprs
3: Home wi-fi network doesn't have a proxy
Can someone tell me how I can easily switch between these networks without having to change the connections settings? Is there a program that can be downloaded to help with the changes?
Thanks!

I also have a 8125. I have the proxy network settings under the "Work Network" settings, and the non-proxy under the "My ISP" settings. When I want to use WiFi or non-proxy, the 8125 will just automatically connect OK. When I need to use the proxy, I start IE and go to wsp://device.home and that forces it to connect to the Work Network.

MediaNet and Wifi screwup

I was foolishly reading on the forums about how to configure MediaNet, and I decided to check my device and see what my settings were (ok, I was poking around where there was really no problem, I'm sure everyone reading this has a similar story...) and now MediaNet and cellular data works fine, but my wifi is dorked up. I get good solid connection to the network at home or at the office (I get an IP, etc) but I cannot get a webpage to load, and I can't use an application at work that is wireless (a dictation program).
I have tried to put everything "back like it was" but of course I do not have a backup program yet.
Someone smart out there tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance....

So, I am not certain if this is your problem, but try to go to:
Setings > Connections Tab > Connections > Advanced Tab and choose the Select Networks button.
Maybe you have that still on MediaNet. That will ONLY allow you to connect via Cingular's data connection. I am not sure if that would hose your internal access, but it would definitely bork your web connection. Try setting it to My ISP and see if that fixes you up.

yes, that was part of the problem, kind of...
You were correct. I had it on medianet like you said. However, somehow I had MY ISP set to identical settings for MediaNet, so MY ISP was pointing to MediaNet as well. I set my Internet to MY ISP and then deleted the settings associated with MY ISP. Now, however, WIFI is working fine, but now I can't connect with GPRS. Arrghhh!

WIFI Internet Connection

Hi guys,
I've got a netopia router (Irish "eircom" broadband) and while normal internet connections via laptop or PC (with USB Wifi dongle) work fine I just can't get my XDA Mini S to actually access the internet. I have managed to actually get it to connect via WIFI however when I launch internet explorer and click on a link it says it can't access using this connection.
"Can't connect with current connection settings. To change you connection settings, tap Settings".
Under connections I'm not sure what to select as I don't believe I need to setup a modem connection or VPN - am I wrong here??
It shows "connected" in the WIFI settings, indicating my SSID etc. Could someone advise me on what else I need to set. Basically I'm obtaining an IP address and my laptop etc work fine, just wondering what more I need to do to bash internet explorer into submission on the XDA. Is is just me or are Microsoft making this very hard on the normal user..
Start--> settings -->Wireless Lan
SSID is correct.. i.e my Wireless LAN
Mode : infrastructure
BSSID is set (though I don't know what this indicates)
TX Rate :auto
Channel :7
Start--> settings -->Wireless Lan - Advanced Tab
Status : Associated to Network
MAC number given
IP address given (so I guess DHCP is working fine)
Leap tab and Enroll tab - all settings blank.
------------------------------------------------
Start --> settings --> system --. Network cards
SSID shows Connected
Under Network Adapters tab : My network card connects to the Internet.
Adapter NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver. (not sure what difference this makes????)
I temporarily disabled WEP for the purposes of simplifying things.

Simple yet very annoying problem:
Go to Settings->connections->connections->advanced->network selection and make sure both combos read 'My ISP'.
Then, when connecting to your WiFi network select 'This network connects to the internet' (as I understand you already have this set under 'network adapters' so it should be ok).

THANK YOU!

[Q] Cant connect to ad hoc networks

I cant get the 7.7 to connect to ad-hoc networks. I found this as I can not use my HTC HD2 as a wifi hotspot with the 7.7. All my other devies can see the HD2 wifi hotspot (generated using barnacle WiFi) except the 7.7.
Very weird. Any thoughts of how to get over this as I did not by the 3G version as thought it would be easy to share the connection with my phone.
Ta

I will test my wifi version with my htc desire hotspot shortly and report back.

BTW, the HD2 is running Miui android (not wince). and as I say i can use barnacle wifi with all other devices and they see it as an ad-hoc network. The ad-hoc network may be a red herring but I dont think so?
Thanks

------------FIXED----------
OK, it was a number of things.
1, ad-hoc networking does not work with the 7.7 so used the native @portable WLAN hotspot' in android from >Settings>System> Tethering and Hotspot which connects well
2, MY APN for Vodafone was set by default as as: APN = wap.vodafone.co.uk
username = wap
password = wap
I had to change this to: APN = internet
username = web
password = web
You may find that you need to change the APN settings for different operators too. Check

Wifi thethering: connected device does not get IP address

Hello, I am trying to use my (rooted, Android 6.0.1) Moto X Play as WiFi hotspot for an iPhone 5S. I have setup the hotspot with WPA2 PSK.
On the iPhone I can see the network, connect, enter password. The connection then gets an orange text "No internet connection". When I check the settings, the IP address is in the 169.254 range, and the DNS and router/gateway IP addresses are empty.
I tried both 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz, with the same result.
I also tried to connect to the hotspot from a laptop running Windows 10. That one also did not get an IP address.
What do I need to do to make the Wifi hotspot function?

In your apn settings in your phone look for apn type. It should say default. Add a comma "," and "supl"

Where am I supposed to do that? On the phone acting as a hotspot or on the phone (or laptop) that is connecting to it?
On my phone (which I want to use as a hotspot) the APN showed "default". I added ",supl", but that did not help. Turned phone off and on again, same result.
According to this website the supl APN type:
Indicates the current APN configuration may be used for Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) data, a feature that allows your phone to determine its geographic location from the carrier.
Normally, SUPL data will be able to use the same APN configuration as general internet data, so there will be no need to specify this value explicitly: it will be covered by "default" and will still work fine.
BTW: Yesterday the iPhone could connect to another iPhone, which was acting as a hotspot.
