Hi there, I'm having problem connecting to the internet using WIFI on my Tornado smartphone (SP5m)... it always connects but takes a while to locate the url, it says "Locating..." in Internet Explorer for a long time and then finally open up the url. To me, it looks like a DNS issue?!
And that's using my own WIFI router at home with a DSL line (5 Mbits), no firewall on it, etc.
But whenever I'm connected to any other WIFI access point (e.g. coffee shops, etc), web pages and other internet stuff would load and open as quick as any WIFI laptop, any thoughts??
Thank you all for your time,

I'm having similar problem on my home wifi with 128bit WEP shared key - but i never get over loading...
But I discovered that if I run Skype on the phone, it can connect and since then internet works OK (even mail through POP etc...). I have no idea how to fix it :/, it works excelently with a free wifi networks...
Yep, could it be because my personal wifi connection uses wpa encryption as oppose to no encryption at all (like in coffee shops or elsewhere)?
Try assigning IP manually.
Where would I change that? I'm running WM6 on a SP5m and I don't see where I would modify the way IP address are assigned, either auto or manual?
Thank you for your time
To threadstarter, check your router settings, are you using WEP or WPA which you did not configure on your phone.
Then check to see if you have any MAC filtering included, also ensure DHCP is enabled on your router.
Last resort, if you are using Andot's Perfect English Edition v6, there should be a WLAN IP manager in it under Accesories
You know what? I installed Opera Mini and without changing any wifi settings (router & phone), it now works ultra fast, it locates the proper URL as quick as anywhere else... Internet Explorer for mobile seems to be the problem here?!
Here you go: http://www.modaco.com/WLAN-IP-Manager-t251147.html
You can change IP, gates, DNS and so on.
IE for mobile is slow...
How come IE for mobile is taking forever to "locate" the URL while Opera Mini locates it super fast? Does IE for mobile uses a proxy to render those pages? If so, can I disable that? What other tests could I ran to isolate the issue?
I'd like to find a permanent fix because I'd like to use IE for mobile, which works fine with youtube videos... thanks to you all!
If I dont have an active WiFi connection then when I want to receive emails or browse the web then the phone automatically starts a GPRS/3G connection which is what I would expect it to do.
However when I want to use Remote Desktop or a remote video application neither will run unless I have an active WiFi connection or I force a GPRS/3G connection by connecting to the web.
I am sure that remote desktop always started it's own session, I don't know why it's not doing this anymore.
How can I get these two apps. to automatically start their own GPRS/3G connection?
Thanks.
Hi all
I recently purchased an unlocked Treo 750 with use on T-Mobile. This replaced my 700w on Verizon.
I have internet working fine, MMS reprogrammed and working. However I seem to be having problems with VPN on the phone itself.
If I tether the treo to my laptop and use it as my internet connection, I can initiate the VPN client on my laptop and all is fine.
The problem is the VPN on the phone itself when using trying to use applications directly on the phone requiring VPN (ie without the laptop). I configured it, it connects fine, however when trying to use IE or remote desktop it fails to connect.
I get a 503 error in IE on each url I try through the VPN. Makes me think it's trying to hit a proxy of some kind outside of the connection manager.
I've also tried using internet2.voicestream.com as opposed to the default wap.voicestream.com... both function identical and at same speeds. I have the total internet add-on data package.
Remote desktop fails with network not found... which kind of hints at a proxy also.
Note that I do not have any proxies set in the Connections manager, makes me think there is something hard coded.
I have checked the registry for the AutoEnable thing for proxies, but in WM6 this is already set to a value of 1.
Any advice is welcomed
If it is a PPTP VPN connection you are probably screwed, it is slowly emerging that there is a problem with the implementation of MPPE used in WM for PPTP VPN connections. I.e. VPN connects but NO traffic Tx/Rx.
Best bet, try and get your IT to setup the PIX to use L2TP/IPsec I have heard numerous reports that there are no problems with the implementation standard of that VPN connection in WM5/6/6.1.
Hi,
I have the problem that a 3rd Party application (Syclo Agentry Client) is trying to connect to a server but the GPRS connection via the ISP is not initiated.
Opening a page in Internet Explorer or using MSN Messenger triggers the GPRS connection automatically. As soon as the connection is running, the 3rd party application is also able to connect to its server.
I am wondering whether the initiation of a GPRS connection is something which has to be specifically supported by each application or whether I am missing anything else.
Thanks,
Christian
I have tried about 10 different VPN apps and they all connect to their respective servers but each and every one of them break internet access after connecting. I can use WiFi but as soon as the VPN connects, internet access is lost and I can't open webpages (or web related app usage). Anyone has any advice?
