Wifi setup problem with 8125

HI all,
first of all i want to thankyou all for this awsome site and keeping the good work going.
I need some help with wifi setup.
I tried to setup my wifi with my 8125 using wifi companion and wifi fofum and both detected my network and connected to it successfully however, when i try to connect to the net using internet explorer a msg pops up saying that "cannot connect" Dialed +some number and then it says No modem at above number. To check connections settings change them if needed. I upgraded my rom to the latest one from cingular how ever i never entered this number which it is showing. Can some one help me with this issue and tell me what should i do.
thanks in advance.
Ps:- I tried wifi companion and wifi fofum separately not together.
thanks.

sounds like internet explorer is trying to connect to gprs or cellular modem or somthing.
you need to go to settings, connections, advanced, select networks, and make sure the drop down lists are set to "My Work Network"
Also check under setting, wireless lan, powermode and move the slider all the way to the left for best performance. I cannot connect to any routers when it is in the middle (the default setting). I have no problems connecting anywhere with it set to best performance.

WM6 proxy setting, quick help.

Hello.
I'm using faria's latest WM6 ROM, but can't find where to enter proxy server / proxy settings in accordance to t-mobile's guide. WM6 doesnt have the place where to enter proxy numbers as specified. After a little digging i heard you might need to change the settings in the registry for wm6.
Can anyone please advise?
Thanks!
12. Tap Edit my proxy server under T-Mobile GPRS.
13. Tap to check This network connects to the Internet.
14. Tap to check This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet.
15. Enter 216.155.165.050 in the Proxy server field.
16. Tap Advanced.
17. Tap HTTP.
18. Enter 8080 in the Port field.

I was able to configure mine just fine today, but I'll admit it took me a few tries in the past before I figured it out.
Go to Start --> Settings --> Connections tab --> Connections.
Since you're not using the standard T-Mobile ROM, just adapt the steps a bit to match up with what is on the WM6 ROM. Where it says T-Mobile GRPS in the instructions, actually use the My Work Network section on the device. You can also rename My Work Section to T-Mobile GRPS if you want.
Under that section, you should see:
Add a new modem connection
Add a new VPN server connection
Edit my proxy server
Other than the My Work Network/T-Mobile GPRS thing, the steps were exactly the same.
Oh yeah, instead of 216.165.155.050 enter 216.165.155.50.
I did that and I was able to get an Edge connection and send/receive MMS messages from my Verizon phone.

Hi.
When I goto Settings > Connection; "My Work" is no longer listed as a connection, only My Home.
How can i get back / add "My Work" ?
THanks.

Hmmm... I'm not sure. I have My ISP and My Work Network and I've always had that with the WM6 ROM's.
Dave

I know this is kind of buggy... I had the same issue.
If you add a new connection, call it My Work or something, and choose GPRS 3G for the type, and finish, it will put 2 connections, which will allow you to change between My Work Network again, etc. No registry hack needed, it's there, it's just not showing. By adding a 2nd connection, it will show your "My Work Network" again. Keep in mind, if you had MMS messaging, but no 'net until now, once the 'net works, you will have to change your MMS setting to "My Work Network" as well.
Now 'net and MMS works on my phone (Cingular 8525) on Tmobile, using only T-Zones and WM6 Thx for the help!

Frustrated!! Pocket Internet Explorer doesn't work when cradled

I have a Cingular 8525 with WM5, using the lastest version of Activesync. I do not have wifi or 3g internet connection on my cell phone. Everything is synced and seems to be working fine but PIE doesn't work.
My Network management settings are:
Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using: "My ISP"
Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using: "My ISP"
Under Connections it reads: My ISP, and for select a modem it says "Cellular Line"
How do I enable my phone to use pocket internet explorer when cradled? The reason is that my RSS reader cannot update because IE cannot connect.
Save me! I spent the last 4 hours trying to fix this problem.

Hi,
I had the same problem some time ago.
In ActiveSync\File\Connections I had to tick "This computer is connected to: The internet". Now it works.

Change "cellular line" to "cellular line GPRS" from the scroll down box.

The saga still continues to no avail...
i clicked "This computer is connected to the internet"
and also selected "Cellular line GPRS"
What do I enter for Access point name, username, password, etc.
This is getting really annoying.

Still nothing, when I right click and try to connect it says

Is AT&T your carrier? When did all this begin happening? The settings I've given you are to be made directly on your device, and not from a PC. Try "auto pick" instead of ISP GPRS, and see if that helps.

One more thing to try: go to your connections settings, tap on advanced (at bottom) select MediaNet from scroll box, tap "proxy" the box that says it uses a proxy to connect should be unchecked (empty) The top box should be checked. You haven't done any internet connection tweaks in the registry have you?

0 internet registry tweaks, do you think you could link me to the cab that should be able to fix this for me?
Either way, and despite whether or not this gets fixed, thank you, thank you, for helping me.

Sorry man, I don't have the cabs for this fix. I remember reading about someone having the same problems and a cab fix was requested. Can't remember where I read about it. I recommend a forum or google search for the cab fix...I'm pretty sure you'll find what you need.

Ok here is the weird thing... I am running SPB mobile, and when I sync my weather is able to update for New York, NY. Doesn't that mean it must be getting an internet connection through PIE? DOes SPB mobile mess with the registry?

Anybody? Lately I've been using WiFi to update my phone but Id rather have it work when it is cradled.

Kaiser bluetooth mac internet settings

I have been playing with my new Kaiser(Tilt) since I got it earlier in the week. Rom is updated and everything is the way I like it. I would like to have my mac to connect to my Kaiser with bluetooth for internet access I just don't know what the AT&T setting are:
-telephone number
-account Name
-and password
I have looked all over and nothing I can find works. The Mac tells me
-A modem error occurred. Please verify your settings and try again.
What can I do to get this working? What setting are you using to make theis work for you?

You have to enable the Internet Sharing app. You can either find it in the Windows folder (IntShrUI), or you can do as I did and perform a hard reset but kill all the carrier customizations. By default, AT&T removes the program shortcut from your Programs folder. Here are some instructions, courtesy of the AT&T forums:
(1) From the Mac, initiate the pairing process with the phone. It will say the phone doesn't have any supported services, but then the last page of the Bluetooth wizard will say it supports a Personal Area Network.
(2) Open the "Internet Sharing" application on the phone.
(3) Change the method used to connect the computer from "USB" to "Bluetooth PAN".
(4) Click "Connect".
(5) On the Mac, click the Bluetooth menu on the Menu Bar and select "Join Network on [device]". (The Internet Sharing app on the phone should now say "Connected".)

Need more info
I got that part down, thanks. It's when it is trying to connect it imideatly disconects and tells me - A modem error occurred. Please verify your settings and try again. What are the settings on the mac side for
-telephone number
-account Name
-and password

Bluetooth PAN doesn't require those settings. It looks like what you're after is Bluetooth DUN. I believe you'll need to use the WModem app that's in the Connections tab. These should be the settings you're seeking:
Type [email protected] in the User name field.
Type CINGULAR1 in the Password field.
In the Dial field, type *99#.

Please help with at&t media net connection...

I have at&t service with the HTC Fuze and I downloaded this 2.1 Edition of manila. I am now (after downloading and installing) having a problem connecting to the internet.. Please tell me the media net settings nd stuff that actually works.. what about proxy settings?? and it won't let me turn on the data connection in the wireless manager saying, "cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if neeeded, tap settings...". If you know a solution please help.. I also have the NATF v4.5S ATT WWE rom... so should I have the proxy settings on and off option thing that's available on the menu like on the BJ2?
Much Appreciated in advance...

There is a cab floating around that can automate this process of setting up your phone for ATT.
I would actually go get the official HTC ATT Rom update and use that to get back up and running, I do believe it has the newest manilla in it (I could be very wrong about this).
I use RRE roms so they are setup for ATT already.
Under connection settings...manage existing connections... I have only Media Net as a cellular line (GPRS, 3g) at access point name 'wap.cingular' with user name [email protected] and password ? with no domain present. Under advanced it is Use Server Assinged IP and that is it.

Go to Settings\Connections\Connections\
Click on manage existing connections and go to Proxy settings.
Take out any proxy and check 'connects to the internet' and uncheck 'uses proxy'.
Click okay and in previous screen go to Advanced\Select Network and set both to MediaNet.
This should resolve any connnectivity issues.
