Hi guys.
I'm trying to get my TP2 to work over wifi using my works proxy server...
I've managed to get it to connect fine at home, and can get it to connect to sites which do not require the proxy to access, but when I need to use the proxy, it just won't access (as if the proxy server is not set up correctly).
Now maybe I don't have it set up correctly?! This is what I've got:
Settings -> All Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks:
Programs the automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: mobile web
Programs the automatically connect to a private network should connect using: My Work Network
The "mobile web" option was set up by the Settings -> Communications -> Data Connection, and allows me to use gprs/hsdpa to connect to my provider (O2).
Is there something I have set up wrong? Or is there a way that I can get it to connect to the internet using the work proxy?
Many thanks,
David
Surely someone can help me to get the correct set up for this?
Another bump in case someone decides that they might know a way?
i am also having the same problem, my uni requires all http traffic to go through a web cache proxy script. iv tryed all sorts and it generally just ends up freezing as soon as i try connect to a remote web page
Me too, having the same issue. I managed to connect to my company WiFi after spending the effort of downloading and installing the certificates.
With a big breath, when I connected to Internet, nothing worked. And spent nearly an hour searching this forum for a resolution but couldnt get hold of anything.
Our company uses a URL with the option of 'Use automatic configuration script' in IE. And I dont how to configure this in my TP2.
Man, just checked with my colleague having an iPhone. It was a breeze. The HTTP Proxy has 3 options 1. On, 2. Off 3. Auto and when you enable Auto, it allows to enter the URL with the field label URL. Its a breeze. Why is it so difficult in WM????
Bump....
Please, anyone can give some pointers or if it is not doable? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Reply from HTC on this....
Thank you for contacting HTC.
With reference to your query, we are sorry because HTC phone can only automatic receive the Wifi signal or use SSID to access to the Wifi network, it cannot check the URL to get the connection.
You can go to Start - Settings - All Settings - Connections - Wifi. Please turn on Wifi there first. Then go to Advanced. Please take a note for the MAC address there and go to your server to add this MAC address to connect it with your phone.
Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Dear All,
Managed to resolve this. My issue was that we had an Automatic Configuration Script in the IE. Hence managed to look into the script for the Proxy Server and the port and set it up in the 'My Work' connections. Also edited the WiFi connection to connect to 'My Work' and i got it working.

I've got an SX66
ROM VER: 1.33.10 WWE
ROM DATE: 1/21/05
RADIO VER: 1.02.10
I setup wireless manager to work on my home network. At the heart is a linksys BEFW11s4 wireless router with WEP enabled (64 bit).
It asked for the security password which I entered but it kept telling me was wrong. Finally it stopped asking me and the wireless manager show that I am connected to the network. It shows the correct SSID, channel etc.
However I still cannot access the internet or anything else on my network. It seems that I am not really connected.
What the H$!! am I doing wrong??
Please help.
Did the router give you an IP address?
I.e. Is the router DHCP enabled?
Happygoat
Yes it does give me an IP address (SX66 set to auto assign)
In reading over your post I started checking my settings and realized the problem.
I have to manually enter the key.
Once I did that...boom I am online.
Thank you for your help.

Hi I have had some problems with wifi hope you can help. I couldn’t find anything on this forum about it (maybe I didn’t search well but don’t think so) Listen, I managed to find some hotspots, I used a lot of programmes, like Streethawk, or WIFIFORM(or something like that), and many more, but all I could get was windows popping up to select connect using that and that to internet or work. I tried work, but that is it every time I got the message I couldn’t give you IP or something. like that. My Ip settings is give IP automatically. Am I doing everything ok, or is this problem network issue because I was trying to connect on public hotspot(which might be not accepting connections). And how do I know if the hotspot is accepting connections free of charge? Hope you can give me detailed instructions.
Thanks in advance
ilijamn: I use a programme called "WIFIFOFUM" and when in the programme on the left side of the window is a column called "WEP" which will either say "on" or "off" for a certain connection.. now when it says "on" you cannot use it without a network key(basically a password) but when its "off" you should be able to use without a problem...To connect to a connection while in WIFIFOFUM jus tap and hold the connection and select connect...
now also when that window pops up, its better to sellect connect via "internet" rather than "work"....
I hope this helps you...
@tradivise
Thank you it helped me a lot! But sometimes in WiForum it takes a lot of time to connect, and I tryed a lot of programmes and then I downloaded Street HAwk, It is the best one, at least for me.(the progremme does everything automativly-which is cool). Anyways, i have to ask you smth. else (prob. stupid question), when a network(hot spot) is free of charge do I need to set up IP settings and DNS settings and what is VPN?
Thanks

And is there any pocket web browser for internet that can open multiple widows(tabs)????
Thanks in advance,
Ilija
ilijamn:
VPN - Virtual Private Network, long explanation so just google search it.
IP and DNS should be setup automatically by the network, but some networks require a network key (WEP) which is like a password and without it you cant use their network...
hope this helps, any more questions jus ask!!!!
not sure about multiple tabs, if i find i will let u know
That should do it. Thank you
Hi,
I'm experiencing a weird problem and please let me know if it's only my problem or there is some work around for it.
My phone is SX66 upgraded to 1.40 ROM + 1.13 Radio stack
I can connect Wifi fine whenever I have some phone signal (at work). Whenever I go home where the phone signal is weak then the WIFI couldn't get connected (I believe I set up my home network correctly as I've been using it for so long and configure it for several computer/laptop in house). The network could detect the AP with the SSID but I just couldn't connect to it even I'm sitting right next to the AP.
ROM 1.40
Radio: 1.13

Are you sure it isn't connecting? What has led you to this conclusion?
Is it possible that it is connecting, but that you just can't browse the internet, in which case check your connection proxy settings. If your work uses a proxy server and you've enabled the pass-through setting in ActiveSync, your network connection may be configured with your work proxy server.
If you're sure you're just not connecting however, things to check are;
WEP/WPA Encryption - If you're using it and have other wireless devices on your network, you no doubt know what to do. If not, say so & I can help you.
DHCP - Does your router/AP support Auto-IP Addressing? Is it enabled? If not, you'll have to configure the WiFi card with a static IP within the same subnet as your router. Ask if you need help.
MAC Filtering - Are you blocking unauthorised MAC Addresses (on your router/ap)?
Interference - Wireless A/V Senders and digital cordless phones are common culprits for RFI. 802.11x APs support multiple channels (most default to channel 11), and you can change these in case of interference. Once again, if you have other WiFi gear already connected with good, strong signals, you can probably discount this one.
Sorry if this is all elementary to you - I don't know how technical you are.
Thanks for your reply.
> Are you sure it isn't connecting? What has led you to this conclusion?
Yes, I've check wireless status on the phone. "Connected to the network", and the AP with DHCP on showed the status of an IP has been allocate to the SX66 mac address. However I dont' really believe it then I check the "Adater", it said network available, and the WIFI icon just didnot show any traffic.
> Is it possible that it is connecting, but that you just can't browse the internet, in which case check your connection proxy settings. If your work uses a proxy server and you've enabled the pass-through setting in ActiveSync, your network connection may be configured with your work proxy server.
I've experience once with the internet connection via Active Sync so I disable the passthrough. Both home and work doesn't have proxy server so I selected not to have any on the phone.
> WEP/WPA Encryption - If you're using it and have other wireless devices on your network, you no doubt know what to do. If not, say so & I can help you.
At work, I have 128 WEP and the connection works fine with the key. At home, I open my network but using MAC filtering to protect it. I have problem with the open network one at home. Perhaps, I will try to setup WEP at home and see if it can work.
The only thing I'm not really clear is the difference between setting "WPA" and "WPA-PSK" from the phone.
> DHCP - Does your router/AP support Auto-IP Addressing? Is it enabled? If not, you'll have to configure the WiFi card with a static IP within the same subnet as your router. Ask if you need help.
Yes, DHCP enable as I don't want to change it back and forth when traveling.
> MAC Filtering - Are you blocking unauthorised MAC Addresses (on your router/ap)?
I do it and I already opened the network and then captured the MAC address into the AP memory. (that's why I think it's connected but will check).
> Interference -
Not really, I'm 6' away from the AP and I don't have any cordless device in my computer room.
> Sorry if this is all elementary to you - I don't know how technical you
are.
No problem, I'd like to learn more about this PDA. The concept is about the same with PC, but the tools to debug is not there. I can't use tracert/traceroute, ifconfig or ping broadcast to really know if I'm the network.
Once again, thanks a lot.
Okay, well it sounds like you're on the right track & know what you're doing.
A useful troubleshooting tool, which gives you tracert, ping, whios, ipconfig and a host of other tools is "vxUtil", which is freeware. I'd give you a URL for downloading it, but I'm on my iMate now (sipping coffee by the Yarra in a Melbourne Cafe - oh what a techno-wanker am I!), but search these forums or Google it and you'll find it.
Now, regarding the proxy thing... These PPCs are a little tricky with their internet settings, and I had to create a different 'connect using...' connection profile, if that makes sense. The important setting within the profile, which is under the Proxy tab, from memory, is "This network connects to the internet".
Now for some reason, if you don't enter in a proxy server here, that check-box doesn't stay checked when you ok your way out. So what I've had to do is go into the advanced area & enter anything in the "wap" proxy, then ok out.
Strange, but it seems to work. Although I always leave my "Private network" on "My Work Network", I can now browse the 'Net through the WiFi AP/Router.
Download vxUtil & see if you can ping your AP, then go from there.
I've worked around the problem by using static IP address instead of depending on DHCP. Thanks to Hitchhiker software. I noticed that it was trying to obtain IP address from DHCP but failed. (The very same DHCP work wells for the rest of my network). Anyway, I will use Hitchhiker to switch IP back and forth if necessary.
Thanks a lot!

Great to hear you found the problem - well done.
Hi!
I haven't seen any application that can do this after some time looking for it, and I think it may well be the case with some of us.... let me explain..
When at home, I can have a WIFI connection to my home ADSL which needs a 'clean configuration'.. ie.. DHCP address and NO PROXY.
But, when at the office, I can also get the address thru DHCP, but I need to configure a proxy to be able to connect to Internet....
Plus, at some of the sites I work in, I need not only a different proxy, but a 'manually' configured address.
Well, the question... Is there any application that can help with the switching of environements, based, for instance, in the SID of the access point available?
I've seen apps such as CommMgrPro that can 'switch' profiles based on the pohone cell-id (which could also be fine to define your location), but you can only 'switch ON and OFF the WIFI (or any other) connection, but in no case can I manage the proxy (BTW this is a difficult setting to handle even manually!)
Thanks

Hey Everyone,
I have just upgraded my device to Windows Mobile 6 so I had to install Activesync 4.5 and I would like to access my pc's internet connection (which is adsl) when it is connected via USB. But when I connect my device via USB it doesn't seem to have access to internet at all even though it should be automatic as far as I know. I guess some things should be done in settings but don't know what they exactly are. Would you be so kind as to help me by writing every single step I should take to make it work?
I would also like to access my pc's net via Bluetooth but I think it's going to be more difficult to set. I have a bluetooth adapter with Bluesoleil software and I don't know what I should do to synchronize my device with pc via bluetooth using Activesync 4.5. I guess after making it work, accessing my pc's net via Bluetooth wouldn't be a big problem.
I hope you have ideas what to do.
Thank you for your help in advance!
when in settings->networking->usb to pc->enable advanced network functions is checked
and connetions->advanced->select networks is set to my work network
when ever the pda is connected to activesync using usb or bluetooth
the network which is being used is that of the pc
unless the pc is set to otherwise
Thanks for your short reply. I have done as you wrote, but it still doesn't work.
at settings->connections->connections->My work Network there are 4 things:
-Add a new modem connection
-Edit my VPN servers (I have tried to add a VPN server but didn't know the exact settings)
-Set up my proxy server
-Manage existing connections (I have also added a cellular modem connection and *99# is supposed to be dialled but I didn't do any other settings)
So I guess there are things here that should be changed. For example at VPN, what should be the name of the Server? My computer's name? and there's a part at which it requires a Username and a Password and also a Domain marked with a *. What should I write in these fields? The usernam and password that are set to connecting to the internet on my pc or something else?
I might have to check the settings of my as well, I guess. What settings should be checked on it?
Thanks in advance!!!
I might have to check the settings of my pc as well, I guess.*
Sorry I left out a word.
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select networks
dropdownbox is set to my work network
to spell it more out
It is set that way, but it still doesn't work. This is why I think I should change things either on my pc or in My Work Network settings (the 4 menu points I mentioned). But I did everything the way you wrote in your first reply and despite this fact it still doesn't work. So I'm out of idea
Hi, Im new to this forum and to my XDA IIs which I bought on ebay. It's on windows 2003, and I have done a hard re-set as it froze first time I used it. I'm on O2 pay-as-you-go in the UK. I've tried all suggestions I can find online to get on the internet via wi-fi, but all I get is 'no modem at above number'.
I contacted o2 help, and was told that it's because it was originally a contract phone and wont connect to the internet on a pay-as-you-go sim. I'm sure there has to be a way around this (well I'm hoping so!) and would appreciate advise please.

uhmmm, have you tried to start wifi via Wireless Manager? The wifi has absolutely nothing to do with pay as you go or with the SIM card for that matter. It is a different part of the device.
I feel silly now. I had been on the wireless manager many times and tried all different settings, but I thought I would try once more before I replied, and I don't know how or why but it's working now! Thanks!
woops, I'm back again! I had a look and it says GPRS is now connected, even though my wireless icon is open at the bottom - any ideas?

So, you are having issues with GPRS or with Wifi. They are two separate things.
are you attempting to connect via your O2 GPRS intenret, or connect to your wifi via the wifi connection.
it sounds like it may be trying to use grps over wifi.
When I go to the wireless manager theres buttons for GPRS, Bluetooth and WIFI.
The GPRS has a drop down menu which has these options:
mobile web GPRS
my connection 1
my connection 2
O2UK WAP GPRS
WAP network GPRS
WLAN has no drop down menu, and when I click it, it switches on or off.
When I was connected before, the wireless icon was open at the bottom of my screen, but then I noticed it said GPRS connection is in use. When I click on the wireless icon at the bottom of the screen, I get a page which says Wireless LAN manager, and there's a box with current configuration (SSID : Mode: BSSID: MAC: Tx Rate Channel ... etc) the boxes are all greyed, and have no information in them.
There's 3 options at the bottom of this page on my phone - 'main' : 'settings' : 'LEAP'. When I go to 'setting's, it has power save mode. In 'LEAP' it has SSID.....Authentication Type, with nothing in the columns below. There are options for 'New' : 'Modify' : 'Delete'
When I go to 'New' it has boxes for filling in SSID : User Name : Password : Domain. Authentication Type choice of Open System or EAP.
I tried using my SSID from my BThub, but I don't know where to find the information for username etc (I tried using my own name but even though I've put information in the field, it gives the message "user name is required' and I can't go any further.
I'm hoping I'm on the right track to getting on my Wi-Fi and hope I'm giving the correct information!
The GPRS seems to connect no problem now, but it's the wireless I'd like to use as the GPRS has cost me some of my credit.
Thanks guys!

Switch off the GPRS connection and then turn on the Wifi. If it finds a network, it will give you a prompt saying that it found x and y wireless networks. Select one and if it is protected, it will prompt you for the network key. It should not try to connect to GPRS if your wifi is on... Having said that, you have to turn wifi on and establish a connection first before attempting to use any app that pulls data from the internet. The PPC is configured so that it will automatically turn on GPRS if it doesn't have any other way available to pull the data (and it will not turn on wifi by default either). Good luck.
Thanks
Its been a while, but I just popped back to say thanks! I managed to figure out how to use GPRS when on the move and wifi when Im at home thanks to you guys! Looking at it now - 3 months later.... it all seems pretty obvious, but you helped me when I didn't have a clue. Im now a dedicated fan of the XDA iis and have successfully flashed mine to win 6.5, and have bought one for me darling other half, and a graphite for my daughter . Thanks again xx
