GPRS Settings for CIngular on Siemens SX66 ATT Variant

I recently updated my SX66 m to v1.4O. My SX66 is an ATT variant so I followed the instructions from Blue Angel. I am on the Cingular network and and am having difficulty connecting to the internet. I have checked the settings and everything appears to be correct. Does anyone have any ideas?
THanks

Copy this cab to the device and run it! Enjoy!

Does this just allow access to plain ol' vanilla MEdia Net, or does it allow access to the mMode homepage that AT&T used to have?

Um it says cingular. so um no Mmode at&t. If you want the gay Mmode change your home page.

There are two types of Access points for Cingular. If you have a "data plan" with them, usually for access to DUN or a dedicated data service like GoodLink, you want to use the ISP access point. If you're just trying to browse the web, and you have a pay per use or small intnernet, you use the WAP access point. If you don't have a plan for ISP it won't work - you should try WAP first. Here's the info:
Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections Icon > Manage existing connections under MEdia Net
Select the existing Access Point and click Edit
On the wizard, select Cellular Line (GPRS) for your modem
For the next few pages you specify either the WAP or ISP access point. *cAsE does matter, you need to specify usernames and passwords in all caps*:
"WAP" APN:
Access point name: wap.cingular
User: [email protected]
Pass: CINGULAR1
"ISP" APN:
Access point name: isp.cingular
User: [email protected]
Pass: CINGULAR1
That should do it. save your changes at the end of the wizard and try connecting to the internet. Questions: josh AT pinwheeltech [NOSPAM] dot com.

MediaNet

Anyone able to connect to the home page in WM6? I used wpbear's cabs to setup up medianet settings. Web works and sling mobile works fine. But can't connect to Medianet.
In WM5, I connected using http://home.
Anyone figure this out?

I use device.home

i dont know about wpbears cabs, but do you have 2 options in your connections? one for MyIsp and one for Media net? if so you will need to switch to media net in order to get to it, as it needs the proxy! If the proxy is missing from the configuration then it wont go to it

I didn't use any cabs...I just configured mine by creating a new network connection and named it Cingular. Then use wireless.cingular.com and localhost as the proxy, create a new modem associate with this connection with apn= wap.cingular and username [email protected] password CINGULAR1... then just hit the browser with http://device.home it will connect to cingular's medianet. You can also create a new network connection named it WiFi, leave all settings blank and use this setting for the wireless.
The only interesting thing I found out is that if you have a online account with Cingular..after you logged in, you'll noticed that it automatically detected your HTC tytn phone..even you change it to other type of phone, couple hours..it will detect that you have a HTC tytn. If I put the SIM onto a Motorola K1, it will show unknow phone...interesting.

Cingular configuration?
I don't want to have to re-create my internet connection everytime I flash my 8525. Anyway to backup my settings or creating a script that will automatically configure my device to use the Cingular configuration?
Thanks

Guide - ALL PORTS opened through carrier proxy 3G/HSDPA

Notice - This topic is for the very advanced computer users.
I will need help from WM6 developers and SUPER advanced users for a variant of this. Please go to the COMPLETE bottom to read what I need for help.
What is it for? : Gain full access to TCP ports while using carrier's WAP/GPRS/HTTP proxy. Access IMAP/POP3/Internet Radio/Streaming TV/Skype while still using your carrier's cheap/free GPRS APN.
(currently only works on tethered, but I am working on making it work directly from the phone, I need help from those in the know-how)
Summary: The PC is tethered to the phone for GPRS/3G internet. PuTTY client connects to a SSH server THROUGH the carrier's proxy and opens up a SSH tunnel with dynamic forwarding on port 1080.
What you need :
- PC with Windows or Linux
- PuTTY http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
- A simple SSH server directly connected to the internet (could be a modified Linksys WRT54G/GS/GL router with OpenWRT, no need for a PC)
optional - ProxyCap or SocksCap (commercial, look on bittorrent). They force softwares that required DIRECT internet acess to work with this guide
Settings:
1- Your SSH server needs to listen to port 443
2- In Windows go to Control Panel / Internet Options / Connections / LAN Settings / Proxy Server /
-Check the box "Use a Proxy Server for your LAN"
-Click advanced under SOCKS: , write: localhost" with port: 1080
3- In PuTTY
-Session TAB
Hostname = IPaddressOfYourSSHServer
port = 443
-Connection / Proxy
Proxy Type = HTTP
Proxy hostname = YourCarrierProxyAddress
Port = 80 or 8080 (whatever your carrier tells you to put)
-Connection / SSH / Tunnels
At the bottom, select Dynamic & IPv4
Source port = 1080
Click ADD
You should see "4D1080" appear in the white box under "forwarded ports"
-Session
Type any name you want under Saved Sessions
Click "Save" so that anytime you reload Putty, you click ony your sessions and load to restore all the above settings.
Final Step
- Disconnect your PC from any internet access
- Connect your PC to your phone's GPRS/3G internet
- In Putty, load the session and click on OPEN (This should open up a black window with no text)
- Wait a few seconds, you should see a new window asking you if you accept a new KEY for the new host you are connecting to. Click YES
NOTE: this will only happen the first time you connect to the SSH server through GPRS. It will never appear again
- You'll be asked to enter your username and password (those are the ones from your SSH server). You'll then gain SSH terminal access to your SSH server.
- type and enter "top" in your SSH terminal
WHY? : Your carrier's PROXY closes any IDLE connections. "top" makes the SSH server send you the server status every few seconds, keeping the connection active.
- Open internet explorer and see if you can load web pages.
- Congrats, you got non-carrier-proxied non-carrier-cached internet access.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: PuTTY times out when I open my session
Diagnostic: PuTTY cant connect to your SSH server, this could be due to :
- Check if you got the right SSH server IP address
- SSH Server does not listen to TCP port 443
- SSH Server is behind a firewall that blocks port 443
- Your ISP may block port 443 (mine blocks port 80)
- Your wireless carrier may not allow SSL connections, test by loading a HTTPS web page while using their HTTP proxy (find a web page such as ebay, paypal, or whatever that requires an encrypted login, see if HTTPS is in the address bar). You're screwed if its blocked
- Your wireless carrier's proxy might not be on port 80/8080, please check
- Double check your Putty settings for your session.
Problem: PuTTY says "connection not allowed" "permission denied" or something
Diagnostic - Your wireless carrier probably does not allow SSL on 443, or scans your packets to see if it is TRUELY SSL. You're screwed in that case.
Problem: When I type my username and password, I get denied
Diagnostic: you don't know your OWN SSH server's access information, moron
Problem: Im connected to my SSH server, but IE won't load pages
Diagnostic: Either you forgot to set the dynamic port forwarding (review step 3 in settings) or you didn't set the proxy settings in IE (review step 2)
Please make sure you got NO other proxies entered other than in the SOCKS section of IE
WHAT I NEED FOR HELP
As you can see, this is only for using GPRS/3G on a PC/Laptop
Im very close to getting this to work directly on the phone.
PocketPutty is a conversion of PuTTY for WM5/6
http://www.pocketputty.net/
There is no Proxy tab in PocketPutty, but go in the registry
HKEY_current_user/Software/SimonTatham/Putty/Sessions/YourSessionName
This is IDENTICAL to what you'll find on your windows PC if you create a session. Create the proper session on your PC and copy the registry entries onto your phone's registry.
I got it to connect to my SSH server the same way you do on a PC, however, I can't get Pocket IE or any other software to use localhost:1080 socks proxy.
I've tried the obvious "proxy settings" in the connections manager, but IE still tries to connect directly unless I specify a HTTP proxy. Putty cannot do HTTP proxy so I can't just open up a second dynamic port on 80.
I tried in the registry to manually enter data. I noticed that even if you got NO proxy settings, you still got two proxy entries in the registry
HTTP , which uses "new-inet" on 1118
null-corp, which uses "new-corp" on 1118
I've made some tests and come to the conclusion that IE will only listen to the HTTP proxy entry in the registry. However, it will not use it if the "type" is set to "0". Setting it to "4" (SOCKS) gives me an error that IE cannot use my GPRS connection.
Im at loss here since im not a programmer or anything. Im wondering if any programmer/developper/professionals knew anything on the matter. It's only a matter of dynamic forwarding. I know PocketPutty can do it.

I was wondering if this was possible myself... I run a linux server at home and when I am at school/work/etc. I like to use my server as a socks proxy (using the method you stated) in order to get around those pesky firewalls and content filters. I've found that in general I like to tunnel everything through my home ISP's connection. It just 'feels' more secure, albeit a lot slower due to roadrunner's poor upstream bandwidth.
Pocket IE apparently did leave out the SOCKS proxy feature, and I don't know if it's even possible to tunnel through SOCKS on a WinMo phone.
This ancient guide from 1999 says that SOCKS is not implemented on WinCE, but surely this is outdated and useless information, right?
So I ask: Does anyone out there know how to use a SOCKS proxy on a PocketPC?

I don't know how much this will help you, I'm not nearly as advanced, but I saw the word SOCKS and a bell rang. Under Settings > Connections > Connections, when you setup or edit the proxy server, the SOCKS option is at the bottom. I always manually put in the AT&T proxy settings when I need to so it sounded familiar. Hope that helps.

Hey alkizmo !
I think that your idea is not really good, because there is an easier solution, with OpenVPN. This vpn allows you to do HTTP encapsulation, like PuTTY ...
And OpenVPN server/client is faster to install.

A VPN connection cannot be initiated through a proxy where all ports are blocked except 8080/80/443
VPN is not the solution to proxy bypass.
Then again, go ahead, try to prove me wrong and you'd have found a much simpler solution.
oh and this thread is outdated, I did finalize this project and have it working now.

Ok, i know your solution work, but three things :
1. Mine too (sorry, I bypass proxy through vpn)
2. Mine is easier ... that's all !
3. http://ovpnppc.ziggurat29.com/ovpnppc-main.htm

Personaly, I think the problem inlies with the way Pocket PC use proxys. If there was a way to make the Phone use the same proxy for everything it would work. but from what I can tell, the phone choses the right proxy for the right thing. by looking at the proxy settings it has a for Http wap, etc.
Well, the other programs don't work with these proxies, as far as I can tell. The best wayt, IMHO, would be to make a program that routes all connections to one proxy, and maybe then the prxys would work correctly.

excellent.
As of this writing, the link is still alive. And the latest release of openvpn ppc is 2.1 released December 10/2009. Or, about a month ago.

How to force the use of proxy ?

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.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb840031.aspx#EstablishingaConnection
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.

standard proxy settings

hi,
i am new to windows mobile. i am trying to connect to internet using my mobile over bluetooth/wifi. I can connect to active using either of them.
To access internet we have to use a http proxy with authentication for internet & specify 'no proxy' for internal websites.(for browsers)
in windows mobile, where should i specify these settings? I went to settings--> proxy and added http proxy, but couldn't figure out those 'connect from' work, wap etc. (connect what from what?)
i can access internal websites. using kavana's wm6.1

pay for unlimited web like the rest of us..i pay $30.00 every month for mine
and if everyone was paying for the unlimted internet maybe it would be cheaper than these people trying to set up proxy's

F$#k Proxy hack
If that's the way you want to go I suggest do a search/or google it 'cause I agree with hovax, the more people hack proxy's the more money we have to pay for our unlimited plans. I'm not speaking for everyone , but I know a lot of people here pay for their plan, rather than steal it.

well, i am from india. the plans we have here gives too low speed (10 to 15kbps) not worth it

s**t outta luck

hi i have the 20.00 unlimted internet plan. is there a better proxy setting for the dash? because sometimes all the applications (sky fire, PIE, flick) refuses to connect to EDGE

okay im going to breakdown US only i dont think india has this

I know you shouldnt need to GPRS accounts but for some reason on certain WM6 phones it ONLY works with both, doesnt matter if you have one or the other it wont work unless you have both (on certain phones), mine as well just put it all in, wont hurt anyway
P.S., this was all tested on 4 different t-mobile dash phones
Edge and IE work fine on any of the T-Zones plans with these settings on the dash just pop them in to Settings / Connection /

NEXT TIME DO SOME RESEARCH GOOGLE IT OR USE THE SEARCH FORUM ABOVE^^^^ and maybe you wont have to ask stupid questions. most of this stuff is already on the web you just have to SEARCH
if it's not on the forum look at some other sites because most likely there's people like us that's had this problem before and solved it already.

there is already a tread regarding it
