Hi,
I've written an app which uses a GPRS connection to read from the internet. Now when the XDA is put into the cradle then the current active connection switches from GPRS to the internet connection that is active on my PC via ActiveSync. Now... don't know how many of you guys use All-locations traffic counter but that program goes insane when this happens. Upload and download go to 4096 MB (or something like that). it scared the hell out of me when i first noticed it the next day but it's caused when the XDA switches connection?
Any idea how to drop the GRPS connection when the ActiveSync takes over?
Other problem is that Pocket Internet Explorer doesn't start up a GPRS connection when an url is passed to it as parameter (using shellexecuteex function). so i have no idea how to detect when that application closes so i can shut down the gprs connection.
Any ideas are welcome.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to block Internet access on the XDA IIi. However the XDA's still need a GPRS connection to send recieve e-mails etc
I haven't tried this software but you could install it and block port 80 (port for web access)
Or you could use pockethosts to block certain websites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1
Would this need to be blocked for GPRS or just wifi?
Sorry software i meant was airscanner firewall

WiFi Issues
I have exactly the same issues and have tried installing both Opera and Netfront to no avail. I can connect to Wifi perfectly can then sync Avantgo, download quick GPS updates and surf a couple of pages, then the DNS seems to fail, have tried with DHCP and fixed IP's. Think the o2 Orbit has some sort of DNS cache fault...As a side issue when the Orbit does connect it runs the Internet very slowly...Both a XDA IIi and XDAs run perfectly on the same wireless!!
Get the devices early and wait for the fixes!!
the same thing on Artemis - device gets IP from WiFi Access point by DHCP, but without DNS. I set DNS manually and Internet is working thought WiFi now.
I had the same problem then installed Wi-Fi Companion, issue resolved. You can download a trial for three days from Pocketgear or Handango.
I changed the wireless mode of the router to only wifi g
has anyone any idea how to get round this yet?
Tried to connect today and all that happens is ie sits there saying 'locating'
I tried Wifi companion..it shows me connected and everything but still can't surf the net.
how can I set DNS manually? might be worth a try
thanks for any help
quick update...Ive just been doig a tracert and ping of my service provider and although the trace and ping come out ok...i.e. still just sits there saying locating...
anyone any ideas?? getting desperate here
Apologies..another quick update....
it's not that I can't connect to the net..it's that there is a default page on IE that tries to connect to pda.o2.co.uk or something..and this page is either not there or something...so, changed the default page and I'm good to go...
apologies again
Mine did the same ... Heres the fix ... It has trouble locating the home page . Type in manually to the address line the url for say GOOGLE and wait for it to connect . Then go to tools options and save current page ( Google) as home page and hey presto ! Sorted
Hi
I also have a similar problem
I have a 802.11b broadband router (linksys) which works fine with my two wifi PC's and my Wifi XDA Exec to access the Internet and collect e-mail
I just got an XDA Orbit and although it "sees" and connects to the Broadband router it will NOT allow access to the internet or e-mail (apart from one very short half page of ntlworld.com home page on one occasion)
WORST than that , when I use the XDA Orbit with Wifi and Internet Explorer - it HANGS the wi-fi router after about 30 secs and I have to reset it before I can access the Internet from any other PC's !!
What am I doing WRONG ???
Any suggestions welcomed
I tried the above 'fixes' and it DID get me a BIT further
i.e. I was able to get a connection to google.co.uk for about 30 seconds and do one enquiry - but then it STILL hung the router and the XDA Orbit was stuck saying 'locating'
Take a look here this worked for me.
Sorry did not work for me - after 30-40 seconds of surfing IE hangs on 'locating' and the router hangs and has to be re-set
ANYTHING TO DO WITH 802.11b compatibility ????????
Where can I get Opera browser to try that ?
How many posters have fixed this problem ?
OK
I downloaded the latest trial version of OPERA and tested that
EXACTLY the same result
If I switch on WiFi and connect to the Internet via Opera, I can access the internet for about 30 seconds, then the browser cannot access any more
If I switch of WiFi on the Orbit quickly, then the Router is OK - if I don't, then the Router Hangs and all my computers lose internet access
Has anyone else seen this ??
Has anyone cured this ??
Is is an 802.11b problem ??
Does anyone know how to solve the "unable to connect" problem in picsel browser?
It works fine using wifi, but not using 3G or GPRS.
Thanks,
try connecting to a web page through pocket IE. then after that switch over to piscel. i have had a similar problem, it seems like piscel does not like to establish/initiate a 3g connection. once you connect w/ PIE it should work.
Good Luck!
My experience is that picsel browser doesn't work with GPRS and it does work perfectly with 3G (i.e., UMTS). Perhaps it has something to do with connection setup in GRPS vs UMTS.
To get a stable connection with Picsel, you've have to set GPRS to AllwaysOn in the registry.

does picsel allow you to view multi pages of the internet?
I have O2 xda Orbit upgraded to WM6, I need to connect to wireless access point at school which requires a proxy server. I know the proxy address and port No and add them through settings/connections/connections. I connect to the access point OK and can even browse network using Network Browser but no internet. Had same problem with WM5, WM6 no better.
