Hello,
Is it possible to change DNS settings when connecting over 3G?
I do not mean the wireless settings.
In Windows Mobile it was possible to set DNS servers in the advanced menu of connections.
Now I can't seem to find it anywhere in HTC Desire (Android).
We are connecting our mobiles to a private APN with private DNS servers.
Thanks!

im trying to get an internet connection through my wifi connection. i have done search's and lots of people seem to be asking the same question but nobody has the answer.
at the moment i can access my c: using an application called Resco explorer. but i can not connect to the internet. im not sure what setting i should have on the wifi manger and on my pc. im also using AOL as my isp.
PLS PLS help :lol:
Edit:
also i can not connect to activesync (version 3.8.0) via wifi. maybe if i was able to connect to this the internet would work as it does when its docked??????
looks like a no then
I got mine working but setting my wireless network adapter to connect to "Work".
Under Settings>Connections>Tasks>Manage existing connections>Proxy Settings> check the "This network connects to the internet" box
then
Under Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks> "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:" to "My Work Network" (and the same with one for private network)
Also in your active sync settings, make sure your connection settings allow network (Ethernet) and RAS connections.
From previous research around this, i'm pretty sure you can only use the internet pass through under "WORK" settings only.
*thought i'd better register and contribute as i've gained a fair bit from this forum.
no good anyother ideas. i have searched through hundreds of threads and still no go
help pls
Make sure you have "Enable Netbios over TCP/IP" checked in your TCP/IP Advanced settings.
i have done this on both my wifi network and my isp network.
still not working
Have you checked if you're getting an IP address from your Wireless Router's DHCP server? Also DNS settings and Gateway address should be there.
You can check this easily by using vxUtil (free )
these are my settings:
tiacxwln1 - tiacxwln compatible wireless
Ip address 192.168.0.2
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.0.1
primary DNS 192.168.0.1
secondary dns
primary wins
seconfdary wins
DHCPs server 192.168.0.1
under serial usb
IP address 192.168.55.101
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.55.100
primary DNS 127.0.0.1
Getting this error when I tried to allow my broadband connection to share with my wifi connection. If I unplug the wifi connection and try and share with another network I don’t get any errors.
Internet connection sharing (ics) cannot be enabled due to IP address conflict on the network. ICS requires the host be configured to use 192.168.0.1 please ensure that no other client on the network is configured to use 192.168.0.1
hmmm ... ever had the same problem. all devices are able to connect to the same router except mine sx66.
then i change the router's channel to '1' .. tada .. now everyone is connected. it might sounds silly, but it worked for me.
try changing your ap wireless channel.

i found the problem with activesync 3.8 and 4.0 somehow, so i reverted back to 3.7, now wifi can sync.
afaik, connecting to internet has nothing to do with activesync. its a direct connection to wifi router. use work location and check the proxy settings if u hv any? (at home i use connect to internet without proxy, at work i use connect to internet with proxy).
Also, for Activsync with wifi, make sure that the WINS server address is that of yr PC u want to sync with.
I have looked through various posts on this topic from the search but not found any conclusive answers.
When I am connected via Wi-Fi I cannot set any proxy servers. Particularly I'm interested in HTTP proxying. If I browse Internet Explorer to a print environment variables CGI script I can see it's not using the proxy I have set in my 'Work' connection. What I'm a bit confused about is whether 'Work' is the correct place to put it as it has no modem connections listed there [only non-Wi-Fi options are listed such as Bluetooth and irDA].
Is this the correct place to put the proxies? If so why is my MDAIII [WM2003SE] ignoring them?
If this proxy server is in your work environment, you can set it up in 'work' in Connections.
You also have to set the phone up to use 'work' for internet addresses, as well as work-related (intrAnet) addresses. Otherwise, all external addresses will bypass your 'Work' settings.
When U say I have to set up 'work' for internet addresses what do U mean? I am connected via Wi-Fi at the moment at work and I have the proxies configured, yet I still go directly to websites in Internet Explorer without touching the HTTP proxy.
In my 'Work' network I have no modems defined. In 'My ISP' I have both GPRS and WAP setup for T-Mobile UK. My connection rules say use 'My ISP' for internet addresses, and 'Work' for private work addresses. If I change internet addresses to 'Work' as well it still ignores my proxies. I have not yet found a combination that works.
Edit:
Sorry I just realised that even though I have nothing listed in my intranet address list the MDAIII has guessed my local cgi environment script is on my intranet and has bypassed my proxy. When I use a remote cgi script out there in the wilderness it successfully reports the proxy IP instead of the MDAIII one.
Hello,
I recently upgraded my TyTN with the official wm6, but can no longer connect to my network. The network is a wpa2+eas, the network key is 8 characters. On the TyTN, I have tried all combinations with "networkcard connects to internet or work" and the with "network connects to internet or work".
The TyTN start connecting, but fails. For some odd reason, it also always seems to forget the wpa2-psk key, which makes me wonder if it is a problem with this...?
I have tried a soft reset, but to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Werid...if I set the IP address (+ subnet + gateway + dns + ...) manualy, it works. So it is not getting an ip address.
When I choose to get an ip address from DHCP, there is a read only (grey) ip address box. Oddly, this shows a number composed of 4 groups of 4 hex values. Could it be expecting to get an IPv6 address?
If so, is there a way to tell it to take a regular IP address?
Jörg
I fooled around a bit more, and now it works...
EDIT: It doesn't anymore.
Any thoughts?
Jörg
I think I found the issue: I also had the profile of an adhoc network. Apparently, this adhoc network uses IPv6, causing the network card to only allow IPv6 adresses. As my wifi is IPv4, the wm6 device never gets an IP number.
Removing the adhoc profile made it work.
Jörg
I bet you try to connect to a network with hidden SSID.
This will not work as in WM5.
If so, the solution is simple. Within network definitions you have to check "connect to non visible network" or in German language:
Einstellungen -> WLAN ->Menü -> Netzwerkkarten -> "Dies ist ein ausgeblendetes Netzwerk"
I have the HTC Touch HD for a few days now and I love it.
I only have the following problem with wireless network connection.
At home I am using a dynamic IP address at work an static address (wtih different DNS and gateway settings)
Does someone knows an program to set these settings for the different connections?
Thanx!
No one any idea
I think other persons will have the same problem. A tool should be available right?
you shouldn't have any issues really. It's odd that you doi. I use mine to connect to multiple wireless networks and it all works fine.
When you turn on the wireless to connect to a new network it will pop up at the bottom and tell you the networks it has found. Then you choose the network you want and connect to it. This will then store it as a favourite connection. Once this has been done whenever you turn on your wireless it will look for networks in range and then automatically connect to which ever one is in range in the Favourite connection list.
Your connection list can be accessed through Start>Settings>Connections>WiFi then Wireless networks. It may be advisable to delete them all and start again if you are having problemss.
Thanks
Dave
You're right for the wifi settings. But the ip settings (static / dynamic gateway dns) are not set through the wireless connection.
But I have found a program called wifiprofiles which does exactly what I want
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.
