Hi,
Anyway to lock down the proxy settings in the connection manager?
At work we have a different proxy to access the internet via a pc than the one we use on the mobile devices.
When the device is synched up, it will pull in the proxy setting from the pc, resulting in the user not being able to access the internet.
Any way to stop it picking up the setting on sync?
Cheers

i cant connect to internet via USB
my computer has wireless internet connection
i connect via Activesync to share internet from PC but it doesnt open internet
guys why cant i connect to internet via Activesync, internet explorer doenst open any site
please help, what settings are necessary at connections?
Hi
The connection settings need to be on
Allow USB [ON]
Allow Connections to COM [OFF]
This Connection is connected to: [set this to automatic]
The other settings you can choose what you want them on as they do not affect the way the PC sees your phone.
IF this does not work i would try a reinstall of active sync or deleting the device from active sync and re-adding it.
Cheers Dave
it says cant get IP address automatically..
OK
When you connect your phone it gets assigned onto it's own network port so it could be the settings on this.
Connect up you phone. Once this has been done on you PC goto Start>Control Panel>Network Settings.
From here you will be able to see the phone. It will be under Lan or High speed internet and then the Local Area connection with "windows mobile device" under it as well
From here right click on it and goto Properties. Click on the Internet Protocol TCP/IP and the click on properties when this lights up beneath it.
Make sure that it is all set to Obtain Automatic for IP, DNS and Private IP
This should cure the fault. Let me know
Cheers Dave
thanks again
i guess, i tried it before.. there was 255.255.255.0 as DNS and IP blank..
i changed it "Automatic".. but the same.. doesnt work
Ok
Only one last thing i have found that it may be.
If you go on your phone Start>Settings>Connections>Network Cards
Check that they are all set to Automatic. The one that really counts is the Remote-NDIS Host. Make sure that this is set to automatic and there is nothing in the Name Servers Tab.
Also what Browser are you using on the Phone. Try using IE.
Cheers Dave
I tried all mentioned in this thread, but still my internet is not working. It shows error code 0x80072f78.
Funny thing, I have set everything up, when I connect through internet sharing on my PC it works, but internet explorer keeps poping up the message that it can not connect. I have tried everything, any idea?
Thanks
You might want to check if you have a proxy enabled. For example if i load the standard telstra rom i cant browse until i disable their proxy setting in the rom. Also check for proxy on the pc browser. Worth a look. Also see if your sharing is using a different access point. Cheers.
I want to connect to internet via a wifi proxy running on another computer. I have configured the network as 'Work'. Also configured the proxy at Start->Settings->Connections->Proxy . Also did PIE->Menu->Tool->Options->Connections Select (i.e check) "Automatically Detect Settings".
But PIE keeps connecting directly to internet via wifi. The direct connection also alows the internet access but I want to go via proxy. The setting in PIE "Automatically Detect Setting" uses proxy if there is no direct access to inetrnet.
Any idea how I can force PIE to use proxy instead of direct Wifi access.
Thanks
I do not think it is possible by the sounding of it, it does not seems possible but I could be wrong.
It seems that the use of proxy is dependent on the application implementation. Some application do use proxy and some do not. e.g. PIE uses it but messaging do not.
The behavior is similar to desktop applications. There also each application has its own proxy setting. In WM, apps do not have individual proxy setting, but they chose whether to use proxy or not.

Look into function ConnMgrEstablishConnection and dwflags (flags to request proxy)
Now to answer my own question. How to force apps to not to use proxy. There are three ways.
1. Delete all proxy.
2. All set up connection as "work" connection but set up work URL exceptions as */* or *
3. Set up connection as "internet".
Now to force the connection to use proxy. I do not think there is any way to do this. And this is what I wanted to do.
Is it possible to specify a proxy server address to connect to for accessing internet on our phones?
I use a proxy server to connect to the internet for my PC, I'd like to use the Internet-pass-through service but it doesn't work.
I've tried making a wireless(ad-hoc) network through my PC and shared the internet connection too but that doesn't work either.
I tried MIUI ROMs for a month or so before and they have the option to specify the proxy address in the settings itself. Is there any such option/tweak/mod/app for Sense ROMs that I might have missed?
Go to settings>>wireless&networks>>WiFi-settings. When on WiFi screen press menu button then advanced.

Duh! Thanks.. *feeling stupid*
btw, which protocol does the market use? I've configured the proxy address on my phone and its working fine for the browser but the market is reporting connection failure. The proxy that I'm using allows only HTTP/HTTPS.
Hi
I am wanting to use wi-fi in a local library. I can connect OK but need to change my proxy settings and port in order to access the internet. However, when I go somwhere else to connect to wi-fi I need to change the settings back. Is there a way to just keep these settings just for individual wi-fi systems or do I need to keep changing. I hope I am making sense. I know you can do this on the Galaxy S by the way.

i use auto proxy app from PS to enable proxy setting on my phone.
I use ProxyDroid.
It allows you to store more than one "proxy profiles", so you can quickly switch between proxies. Turn it off, and the proxy settings will be reset to none.
