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.

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.
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
Hi Guys,
either I dont know how to search or there is no info on VPN on the forum(I probably dont know how to search) In any case. I need assistance. How do I setup a VPN on my TyTn running WM6 and also how do I get remote desktop client? I am sure this was around previously. Did MS remove it from WM6? Or was it HTC? It this is the case.. how can one get it back?
thanks!
here's remote desktop. How do you use it? I don't know how to set it up.
thanks!!!!
now for VPN....
cheers!
The remote desktop client is available in several places in this forum for download.
To set up a VPN:
add a new VPN server connection
enter the name / ip of the server you want to connect to
select the vpn type -- ipsec or pptp
next
enter your user name and password
finish
The only way I have found to connect to the von is to goto
Start-Settings-connections-connections-edit my vpn servers- -- tap & hold MY VPN
select connect
you must be using a plan that assigns you a public IP (not WAP)
hope this helps

Thanks cmccarter, done it but how will I know I am connected.. It does not say connected anywhere that I can see and when clicking/hold on the item it gives me the option to connect again, not disconnect as I would have thought The other thing is terminal server does not connect. It connects fine on USB. VPN/Remote desktop connects fine using normal internet on pc from outside the network. So I believe the network settings are fine.. How would I know though if I am on WAP or get an IP. Also ow would I know if the VPN is connected?
thanks
fyi
i also have struggled getting rdp to work over a vpn, in particular over 3+/hsdpa
the only i found in wm5 was to add the vpn connect to the exceptions list of the connection manager, so that it didnt disconnect the vpn whem connecting the rdp.
this occurs more when u use an ip address to connect to a work intranet.
suppose if u use the dns name of the machine and not the ip address then it isnt that much of an issue. in wm5 when u put the ip address in it assumes a an internet rather than intranet connection so it disconnects the vpn to look for the ip over the internet
putting the ip into exceptions forced wm5 to not disconnect it when rdp was looking for it.
i cudnt get it to work this way in wm6 so i am also looking for an answer on this.
rdp to my servers when they have crashed and i am on the road wud b wonderful....
Hi,
I've a similar problem.
I use a VPN-1 SecuRemote that normally connect my PC directly to the company network.
Well, using the share modem tool, I'm not able to reach the gateway.
the share modem system give me a private IP that establish a connection between PC and TYTN.
This connection use the Tytn like a gateway to navigate in internet.
Someone know to solve this issue?
Tanks a lot
if i select start the vpn connection, nothing happens - and i can`t ping the IP`s in the VPN. so i think the vpn ist not open - OR the routing entrie is missing....
is there some shiny "pptp - standalone" client?
greets, Nik
for some reason i dont think the vpn option works over 3g/hsdpa, atleast not on my device using t-mob web and walk.
if i connect the vpn when using wifi it connects and everything is fine, if i try and connect when i'm already running a 3g connection it doesn't work.
i dont think the radio stack is capible of handling a 3g connection and a vpn connection. we might need to go down the route of getting a seprate wm vpn client.
I'm trying to use internet passthrough at work. The problem is that we have a proxy that requires NTLM authentication. So I tried setting up an intermediate proxy on my windows xp machine, then I setup DHD to use the intermidate proxy (using Proxy Settings from the market).
This only works with the browser as it has built in support for communicating with proxy servers. other application don't work.
I'm wondering if any of the following is possible:
1- setup proxy in dhd in a way that is invisible to most applications and don't have to rely of application support for using a proxy server.
2- use some program/setting on my computer that manages connections with the proxy server in a way that is invisible to HTC Sync and DHD
+1 for the same question.
I hope someone know the procedure and I hope even more it's possible.
It would be a shame that shuch device doesn't offer that feature.

+1 for that!!
I'm in the same boat, anyone have a solution to this yet?

Kind of glad to see I'm not the only one looking for a solution
i tried with no luck with widecap to proxify the process htcnat.exe adb.exe and another 2 but it's a really overwhelming configuration, furthermore the service in windows is run by the SYSTEM user and it should be changed to the user running widecap to have it trying recognizing it.
unfortunately even with all configured i think in the correct way i was not able to use the proxy, widecap was still refusing to proxify internet pass trhough.
there is another product called freecap on which is based widecap but i still havn't tried it (and the next week i will be on holidays so i won't try it soon ^^' )
solved by installing TransProxy 3.0.8 beta on android

I used ProxyDroid (needs root). It also supports NTLM authentication.

when you sign onto your computer do you have a sign on and password that you have to use? It sounds like it since you are getting an authentication error.
At my office to connect to the corporate wi-fi, I have to use my domain credentials and a proxy server:
domain\username (sometimes entered as [email protected])
Password
proxy server address/port number
If it is that complex then you probably have an IT department that should be able to help you connect. You would enter this stuff on your phone in the advanced options when you try to connect to the wi-fi.

Thanks for the reply, i work for a super small company. I do log in with a password for the computer but nothing fancy. The it department is literally one guy across the country who would definitely not help me get wifi on my phone. How would i find out the proxy number and port number?
Through the router settings. Check for proxy and other options. Most routers have a default ip and password.

Open wifi may allow you to connect but require you to log into a web site via password or accepting terms and allowing your device to save a cookie for a session. That is how out wifi works. I can only use it about 15 minutes at a time before the cookie dies and I have to re log in.
