Please tell me that I overlooked some obvious settings...
I have a home wireless network I use for my laptops. I configured the same network on my Fuze. It says connected, IP looks ok, I set DNS to OpenDNS, but I still cannot use IE, Opera, Skype or any other Internet application.
Now, Fuze is my first WM phone and I am not familiar with all the settings. Did I miss something?
Try disabling the proxy.
Start File explorer and go to Windows
Click on "Disable Proxy"
Then try it.
to turn proxy back on
click on "Restore Proxy"
(With the proxy off, you cannot use the AT&T links and apps)
I have not found these files. I use EnergyROM.
Nevermind, I just updated router firmware and the problem is gone.

I just upgraded from a Tilt to the Fuze. In setting up my new device I noticed that Opera has issues with the ISP.CINGULAR internet connection. I always setup my device to use the ISP.CINGULAR connection because I use a VPN on my device and need the public IP address on my phone - so I can't use the MediaNet connection.
So I did what I typically do:
Change the default internet connection to ISP.CINGULAR
Execute the disable proxy cab in Programs->Tools->Proxy
After this PIE works just fine and browsing to www.whatismyip.com shows that I am getting a 166.217.X.X ip (which is correct for ISP.CINGULAR, the MediaNet WAP.CINGULAR shows up as a 32.X.X.X ip)
When I launch Opera though it cannot get to any webpage. After a while it comes back with an error page stating "Could not connect to proxy server".
Also, if I launch Opera first and let it error out, and then try to launch PIE, I once again cannot get to any webpages. Interestingly, if I close Opera and refresh the page in PIE then the webpages work again. This looks to me like regardless if you execute the disable proxy cab, when you launch Opera it brings back the AT&T proxy settings for the duration that Opera is running.
Opera does work just fine over wifi. So apparently it does know that it should not use the proxies over wifi. I am kind of at a loss at this point. Any suggestions on more things to try? Your help is greatly appreciated!
EDIT: I just tried connecting to my wifi at home, and launching Opera (3G is already connected). Opera does use the wifi connection. If I then go to comm mgr and turn off wifi without closing Opera, Opera still works and uses the ISP.CINGULAR connection. While this is a very crude workaround, I'd really like to use Opera as a browser.

This may be related, I'm not sure. I have changed the user agent spoofing and custom user agent string in Opera, but I'm still getting the mobile version of some sites (m.cnn.com, for one) when I connect via AT&T wireless. When I connect via wifi, I get the full site. This happens regardless of whether I disable or enable the proxy, as mentioned in your post.
Any suggestions on fixing this would be gratefully received.
UPDATE:
If you launch Opera and go to opera:config it brings up the configuation similar to firefox.
Find the "proxy" section and remove the HTTP and HTTPS entries that point to some cingular hostname.
Save the config.
Exit Opera and restart it.
All is good and no proxy anymore!!!

Thanks -- that works great! (Interestingly, those entries are blank when Opera is connected to the wifi; I had to turn off wifi and restart Opera with the wireless connection in order to fix this.)

Where is the opera:config settings in Opera? I see "settings", but I don't see anything suggesting "proxy". I am obviously looking in the wrong place. Where is the right place to look?

u have to enter "opera:config" into the address bar without the apostrophes.
just a question from a first time 3g user, what's the difference between media.net and isp.cingular?
added to the Wiki
I had to hard reset my Fuze and got rid of the bloatware. There are some cabs that I restored but what does the proxy and hiddenproxy cabs do in windows folder?
When in weather tab, sometimes it says that I dont have data connection. Im hoping that I need to install one of these...
The 'hidden proxy' is a proxy that your phone uses to get onto the web. So if it is enabled your phone is routed over AT&T's network. You cannot use medianet without it. However, it slows down other apps and causes major problems with some apps like Internet Explorer and the weather app. I disable the proxy at all times since I don't use any of the AT&T medianet type apps. You should try to disable it...you can always re-enable it.

Thank you. So if I hard reset my Fuze without the bloatware, do I have the hidden proxy enabled?
Also how do i disable it? What cabs should i activate in the windows folder?
Don't know what it will default to but the cab itself should be located in your Windows Directory and is called removehiddenproxy and another is called restoreproxy.
Thanks, bugsykoosh
I have the AT&T Fuze with the stock ROM. I purchased it the first day it came out. I think this was 11/11/2008. I have the PDA Personal plan for unlimited data. I have things set up so that my contacts and email synch with our Exchange server. I can remote desktop from my Fuze using the data network to any machine that I can remote to from my computer, so from that, I am thinking VPN must be configured correctly. On one of these machines that I connect to, I have IIS running and put a very simple web page on it (no script, nothing IE specific). From my work computer, it loads fine. I can remote desktop from my Fuze to any machine on the network and launch IE and load it. But, I can't load it directly from my Fuze in either Opera or IE. It does initiate the VPN connection. But, then I get the error HTTP gateway timed out. I'm really not interested in viewing the page that I created. We use Perforce, which is source control system. It has a jobs portion, which we use to track bugs. There is a web interface to the jobs, which is on the intranet, not internet. I don't have rights to remote to the Perforce server, and that is why I initially tried putting a simple page on a machine that i am an admin on. I want to be able to click on a link in my email and have it load the bug in Opera. If I am home and turn on WiFi, and disable the data network, this works fine. This bypasses AT&T's machines, which makes me think there is something that AT&T is blocking. And if they are, then maybe it is the AT&T bloat this is telling them what it is. Our IT guy has verified that I am successfully VPNing in. He is seing the mycingular.net in the firewall.
My boss has the same phone, but purchased more recently, and his is working fine for this. He has flashed the new AT&T test ROM, and done the thing that keeps the AT&T bloat from getting installed.
The fact that remote desktop works, but browsing a webpage on the same machine does not, makes me think there is more to this than just network settings.
If anyone has the anwer to this, please share. If I find the answer, I will post it is well. I have extensively searched the forum for the answer to this, and have not found anything that worked. If I have missed something, I appologize.
Sort of works now, still have an issue
After going to the proxy tab, and checking that This network connects to the Internet and checking the check box that this network uses a porcy server to connect to the internet. Then specify the server. Then go to Advanced and change the HTTP port to 8080 instead of just 80. I also put the user id, password and Domain in on the proxy for HTTP.
But I get prompted for a user id and password from the proxy erveer. I have entered it and clicked the checkbox to save it. It does not display the same info that I entered the next time and it does not display what was entered on the HTTP proxy page. It is a drop down, and I can select the correct one. It's just annoying to need to. I'd like to clear this cache.
Also, to initially get it working I had to disable HSDPA and HSUPA, restart. Then reenable it. I have the registry on my Fuze which give me the menu option on the Advanced network tab to do this.
Figured out how to clear the cache issue - still prompts
The cache was a setting in Opera for passwords.
It still asks for the password. At least it is prefilled with the correct info, since I now only have the one entry, so it is just 1 click, but I should not need to do this step.
Any one know what I need to do to fix this.
If I try to load it in IE, it just tries but never succeeds and never asks for a password, just says Opening.
Connections
Why should I need to set this to connect to the Internet, and use the ISA server? I would think if it needs to connect to the internet, it should be able to just use the Media Net
My Media Net Settings are
Modem -
Name - Modem
Media Net - wap.cingular
Advanced shows the modem in the drop down list as Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
The drop down is disabled
Next
Access Point Nam - wap.cingular
Next
User name - [email protected]
don't know what the password is. I've never changed it.
Domain is blank
Next
TPC/IP
Use server - assigned IP address is selected
Use software compression and use IP header compression are checked.
Use slip is not checked and the checkbox is disabled
Servers
Use Servr Assigned addresses is selected
So DN,Alt DNS, WINS, and ALT WINS are disabled.
Proxy Settings
This network connects to the internet
This networks uses a proxy server to connect to the internet is not checked.
More info and additional question
Navigating to some intranet sites does not prompt me for the isa server.
such as http://machine/virtdir/Default.aspx
seems to work without being prompted
but
http://perforcemachine:8080/@md=d&cd=//&[email protected]//?ac=107&mx=25
prompts me for the password.
Also, in order to get either of these links to work, I need to have in my exceptions:
*.companyname.com/*
Where companyname is the actual companyname.
This is annoying because it makes it connect to the VPN when synching with the exchange server. Before I want on the quest to get these links to intranet sites to work, I synched with the exchange server without connecting to the VPN.
I've tried putting in isa.companyname.com in the exceptions, but that doesn't work.
Is there a way to do *.companyname.com/* except mail.companyname.com?
I suspect all of this is in the registry somewhere.
I tried all the options but no avail:
Disabled proxy with builtin cab
Used Advance Config Tool & Diamond Tweak to disable 3g
Increase Power to WIFI
Enter the proxy credentials properly
Select WORK in the connections
I am connected to the network through the WEP key. I have an IP address.
But the thing the intrigues me the most is that I cannot hit outside with Opera or IE unless is the Intranet. BUT, I can hit my comcast email throught the email tabs>inbox>send receive. This email account is from the outside. How the hell? The network guy said that I have all the credentials properly entered and that I should be hitting outside throught the proxy. What gives?
Ok, so I got it to half of it to work.
Disabled proxy through CAB
Enter proxy credentials to "My Work Network"
Network adapters>card>"the internet"
SSID>Connects to>"work"
Applications that use internet connect with: My work network
I can connect to the internet outside now, but I cant update my email accounts that are in the outside. Only if I change my SSID to connect to the internet, then email works again, but internet doesnt.
Anyone that has gone through this crap please post something.
Thanks.
Well, I knew it was to soon to scream victory.
It now appears that I have to have IExplorer running in the background to be able to surf through Opera and use Google Maps. If I dont have IE open, then I get prompts from the proxy in Opera and Network problems in G-Maps. This is just too freaking weird. What shagging combination is going to make everything work!?!?!?!?!?!?!
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.
