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.

Hello,
I'm having some questions regarding a VPN connection, namely the fact that it seems to close it down quite fast. I have configured a PPTP VPN on my TyTN.
When I now connect to my mailserver (using Pocket Outlook), it first connects to the VPN (both when I'm using wifi or gprs/umts), and then connects to the mailserver. However, when I then choose to download a mail message, it reconnects to the VPN (which takes quite a lot of time).
Similarly, in Pocket Internet explorer, the VPN is also re-established when moving from one site to another.
Even worse, is that in Skype, the VPN connection is not seen as a wifi connection (so it says it cannot connect). I can circumvent this by first launching Pocket Outlook or Pocket Internet Explorer, which opens the VPN. Skype can then use the connection, but the VPN is closed after 30s (if when in the middle of a conversation!).
None of these problems occur on a laptop connected to this VPN. I'm guessing there is something on the TyTN that causes the VPN to be shut down. I have tried setting up a website that refreshes every 20s to keep the VPN open, but it doesn't prevent it from closing (and it doesn't reopen a closed VPN).
Is there a way of keeping a VPN open ?
(either by a registry hack - some timeout setting, or by some 3rd party software)
Thanks!

Ok, so i'm with Centennial Wireless right, and to access the internet, use any programs that connect to the internet, etc., i have to be connected to one server.......but to receive MMS messages (pics, videos, etc.) i have to be connected to another server.....
the majority of the time, i leave it set to connect to the Internet server, because i use it a lot more often, but if im connected to IT, then if someone sends me an MMS, it wont download automatically, because it's set to connect to the Internet server.....my question is, is there anyway to have it set to change servers automatically? as in, if im connected to the Internet server, and an MMS gets sent, it auto switches itself to the MMS server, and vice versa?
anything??
Is there a program that would soon open (IE, oprera, skyfire) asked if you want to connect via GPRS or wi-fi?
Can't see that there would really be any point.
Applications using the internet will use any active connection. If Wi-Fi is connected it will use that, else it will use an active GPRS connection or start it up if it is not already active.
If this hypothetical program asked, and then activated the one that you chose, then I would be interested, but I have never seen such a app.
no disrespect.. but this would pretty much be a waste of time.. programing such an application. as you can enable wifi using one of your hardware buttons.
if you enabled wifi, internet explorer won't even try to connect to GPRS. if you didn't enable wifi, it would automatically connect thru GPRS.
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
Hi, I am using a Spectec wifi card to receive mails and navigate when i'm at home, and a data gprs connection outside. Since the wi-fi connection does't appear on the connections tab, is there a simple way to switch between them?
What i am doing now, is change the "work network" (which is configured for gprs) to "my isp", which is not configured at all, get a few connection error messages, and then the phone discoveres the wifi and connects to internet. But it's rather complicated and not ellegant at all.
