Internet access through USB (Activesync) on work network (via proxy)

HI all,
I'm experiencing the following problem with my Cruise.
When having the Cruise connected to my PC through USB cable (Activesync on), mobile applications other than IE cannot access the Internet.
My configuration is:
on ActiveSync
my computer is connected to: "work network"
on the Cruise
start > parameters > connections > connections
advanced tab > network selection is set to work network for both types of networks
proxy configuration on the other tab is the correct one for my network
The only application on the Cruise capable of connecting the Internet with this configuration is IE: when starting, it asks for proxy username & password and pages are loaded correctly.
Any other application (the HTC today screen, when looking for the meteo data, Opera, QuickGPS...) do not arrive to connect the Internet falling in timeout (no request for proxy authentication).
Of course, at home (ActiveSync configured as connected to the Internet) everything work fine and all applications connect to the Internet w/o problems.
Any idea?
Thanks

Hi all.... ive got pretty much the problem? Any solutions guys??

Pretty much same here, except for QuickGPS... it manages to connect somehow.

it works for me, but without proxy...

Maybe this would help you?
Hey Wis38!
Just try to open the following ports ins your proxy:
990 (RAPI)
999 (Status)
5721 (DTPT)
5678 (Legacy Replication)
5679 (Handshake & Legacy Replication)
26675 (Airsync)
For further informations try the MS kb259369 and kb904667.
btw, good luck
Frank

Yeah, thanks.
But I'm not proxy administrator, and can't open those ports...
Any other ideas?

Ask your admin
Hmm...
I think then you have to ask aour admin...

How can I use my Polaris like USB modem to connect Notebook on internet.
Is there some application or something like that?
Thanks.

try this one
on your device, go to start menu > programs > internet sharing
choose which connection you want to use (USB or BT) then press connect
if you choose USB, plug the USB cable to both PC and device immediately after connetion established.
if you choose BT (you have to make sure that your device have been paired to the computer), connect to your device through BT network access
in internet sharing mode, all activesync connection will be disconnected

there is a registry hack for windows to fix this issue, but normally the issue also effects syncing. But the bad news is that itsmore then likley that your network admin has locked down this type of access.

only IE keeps working via proxy.
Other 3rd party apps seem to prefer a direct connection ignorinng how windows settings are actually used to reach the Internet

I have exactly the same problem: IE can reach the Internet via the proxy in our work network and other apps like QuickGPS cannot.
Strangely enough this happens only with my HTC Touch cruise and does not happen with my Fujitsu Loox N560, which has exactly the same settings.
I have to note that I upgraded recently to WM 6.1 on the TC and that with WM6 it used to work
Any ideas

same problem for me... (qtek S200 & win 6.1)

'network cards' icon in the settings>connections panel

guys,
i don't know if you'll agree with me but i think that the lack of wifi makes the treo miserable; especially that most mobile providers charge stupid money for data packages - and those that don't (i.e. vodafone) block all the ports besides port 80 and make their data plans useless anyway...
that's why i'd love to be able to use bluetooth PAN to connect to either PCs or BT access points to get internet and network connectivity...
is there any way of adding the network cards thing and bluetooth PAN drivers?
or perhaps - does that functionality come along with wm6.1?

Try to figure out the right names.. because my ROM is italian and I'm writing the settings in the english translation...
You can set up the internet access to be done through the BT in this way (WM6.1):
- pair you device with the PC.
- on the device open menu->programs->ActiveSync
- on the device ActiveSync: menu->connect through bluetooth
a new COM port is generated in the PC by the BT stack.
- on the PC ActiveSync 4.5 panel, open File->connection settings
- flag enable the wireless connection of device when connected with desktop"
- flag enable the "allow connection to one of the device: COMxx"
where COMxx is the com generated by the BT stack.
Disconnect the BT and reconnect.
You should have a new connection on the device..
Now go to the device settings->connections->Advanced tab Network Selection
change the internet connection from ISP to local network.
That's it... now you'll be able to navigate with the device through the BT

[Q] Weird VPN issues

Over the last few months I have noticed that my VPN connection to home has gone flaky (i.e. may be due to network issues, but is restricted to tethered phone):
I would open a mobile internet connection from my laptop over a tethered HTC Touch Pro (WinMo 6.1, original ROM), then VPN to my home network - VPN created from the laptop, not the phone. Internet browsing works fine, VPN connection to home network comes up fine, able to ping machines both ways, but then unable to browse machines on home network - it seems an initial connection is made (e.g. VNC would ask for a password, or title bar of web page will load), but then grinds to a halt after a few bytes / KB. All this while internet browsing and ping in both directions are still fine!
Everything works fine if I bypass the phone (connect via USB modem or via another cellular network).
The issue seems unrelated to:
VPN type - can be either via PPTP to router or OpenVPN to linux box on network (!)
Cellular apn used - occurs with both a regular browsing and "VPN" apn.
OS on either side (Windows XP / 7 / Ubuntu)
Phone settings - problem persists in spite of reset to factory defaults.
Any ideas and advice on how to fix / bypass appreciated
Thx

[Q] Sharing Connection from PC

Hi,
so my scenario is the following:
My PC is connected to the router via cable and has no WiFi connection. My router has wifi, but the connection is very bad in my room.
Is there a way to share the connection of my pc (running win 8 pro btw) via bluetooth (it's onboard) or USB?
Thanks!
edit: Just tested it with my HoX and there I have an option "Internet Pass-Through", which works fine via USB. But on my GNote 10.1 (wifi only) the option doesn't exist...
edit2: I guess I found out what the problem is: It's called reverse-tethering and the problem is, that all tethering options are not available in the systemsettings, because tethering is not available, because it's a wifi only model. On my HoX the option for internet pass-through are in the tethering section, though it's reverse tethering. Any ideas how to get there on the wifi only Note?

Use a second ethernet-slot on your pc, buy an usb-lan-device and connect it via otg and crossovercable.
Or use bluetooth, if your pc support that. (Maybe a cheap usb bt device for your pc?) To share internet on one android device to another via bt is no problem. So it should work te same with your pc. Dunno by windows settings or any third party software.

AW: [Q] Sharing Connection from PC
Allright, I have Bluetooth onboard but can't get it to work, I guess the problem is with windows here. The other idea is very good thanks, I'll try that.
Send from my HTC One X - Kernel 3.1.10 - Build 3.18.401.1

Before buying check for well known usb lan devices. Especially for samsung note, note 2 and up.

How far is the router from your room?

AW: [Q] Sharing Connection from PC
1 floor ~3 walls
The closer I get to the door the better it gets. At the door the router is basically directly beneath. On my couch which is near the door the reception is okay. But in my bed and near my PC (furthest away from door) the reception is very bad or no reception at all.
Sent from my Galaxy Note 10.1 with the awesome CM 10.1 HumberOS Rom!
edit: So, I finally found a working bluetooth driver for my onboard bluetooth and win 8 (it's a P8Z68 Deluxe/Gen 3 btw). The standard win 8 bt driver seemed to lack some features. Okay, now I am able to have a real pairing connection to the GN10.1. I enabled ICS in windows connection option and then tried to do a "connect to personal network" in windows. It fails with no notification at all on the Note. Then I downloaded Bluetooth PAN app from play store. Funny thing is: If I click connect in windows (in the "connect to personal network" window) and shortly after/before click connect in Bluetooth PAN the connection does not fail in windows (it shows as connected), but the Bluetooth PAN app doesn't show any established connection, very weird. I tried the app "BlueVPN", but also no luck. Oh btw I found the following:
Obtain a network connection via Bluetooth tethering
If you have a computer or other device that can share its network connection via Bluetooth, you can configure your phone to obtain a network connection by Bluetooth tethering (sometimes called reverse tethering).
1. Configure your computer to share it’s network connection via Bluetooth. See your computer’s documentation for details on how to do this. Typically, it involves making your computer discoverable via Bluetooth and allowing incoming PAN connections.
2. Pair and connect your phone to your computer via Bluetooth.
3. Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Tethering & portable hotspot.
4. Check Bluetooth tethering.
Your phone connects to the Internet via Bluetooth and your computer, and a Bluetooth icon appears in the System bar.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I had Bluetooth Tethering enabled all the time. It didn't make any difference, except I got a noticifation "Tethering active" when connected, but I didn't get a reverse tethering.
Next thing I did, I tried connecting to my HTC One X's bt hotspot, didn't work either.
My best guess is still that there are too many tethering options missing due to the fact that it's the wifi only version.
What I'll try next is this. I'll let you know if it works.
edit 2: Oh, I also tried reverse tethering with my HoX to the PC, also didn't work.

Didn't worked because of firewall on windows 8?
Try to establish tethering through ur mobile phone via bt to wifi or [insertnumberhere]G internet.
Maybe in both directions (mobile<->10.1) to see if that works... and to decrease potential ...errrm... fehlerquellen.

Any update on sharing the internet connection of the pc to the note 10.1. I am especially interested in doing it via the USB.
It seems you can update the Note 10.1 via the USB, so it must be possible to connect to the internet via it. I think.
I don't own a Note 10.1 yet, but I am really interested in getting one.

it is old but maybe for some people the first gibt. nowadays it is easier in Windows 6 and above. you'll make it.

Using internet while connected to local WIFI

I have an RV that allows me to control everything their their app as long as I am connected to the RV's local WIFI network (which doesn't provide internet).
It is obviously a terrible design as I cannot access the internet if I want to stay connected to it.
I know that about the "Switch to mobile data" option, but this doesn't work as this disconnects me from that WIFI connection. So that means I actually have to put the connection as a "Network exception" if I want it to stay connected.
Is there any work around to stay connected to a WIFI connection, but use mobile data when on that connection?
(Samsung note 10+ Android 12)

Always thought
a carrier's cellular network ( a radio network distributed over land ) is used when sending / receiving mobile data,
an internet service provider's network ( accessable via router / access point ) is used when sending / receiving data to / from internet.
All Android apps have a default network. The system decides which should be the default network.
It depends on app's configuration what connections - if available - are to be used - even simultaneously.
