hi i posted this a couple weeks ago in the rhodium forum but i feel like it might be better answered here
at my school they have changed their previously password free wireless network to a password full wireless net work (more or less)
in order to use the wifi.(on a laptop) i must connect to the wifi network and when i open up firefox, a popup will show up and ask me to login with our specific student id/password.
on an iphone/itouch, you connect to the wifi network, open up safari and the login pop up shows up. sign in, and you will be able to surf freely.
unfortunately, on my tp2, i connect to the wifi network, open opera/opera10/opera mini/pie/skyfire and nothing shows up. there is no way to sign in or connect to be able to surf freely.
so my question is what must i do/ what can i do to fix this so i can sign on.

I have set up my N85 so that it checks for new emails at my gmail-account every 5 minutes. But every time it checks for new email it asks me what connection i want; wlan or 3G. Can i get it to automatically connect to the most suitable one? E.G. when im at home and have access to my home wlan network it automatically connects to that and when im somewhere else it connects to the 3G connection? Its unbelievably annoying to have it asking me this everytime!!!!
Hi Cooney
On your handset, you need to navigate to:- "Web", open the application and choose your connection, in this case, we'll choose internet. Get connected to the web, go to options/settings/general/access pointmake your choice, again in this case "internet" then exit, now reconnect to the web on your phone, it will ask you to define whether or not you want that access point used automatically, (it shows in an orange text on mine, cursor down and select it).
You should now find you can connect to the web without being given connection options, works on mine!
Hope this is clear enough for you and is of some help

p.s. you need to be looking at websites more specific to Nokia N Series S60 3RD Edition Phones, as this website is more aimed at Windows Mobile Operating Systems.
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 a Windows Mobile device 6.1 Pro.
I have Messaging setup to collect my personal emails from the Internet via my HSDPA connection.
I also have an account for my work email (POP3) which I collect via the company VPN.
This is my problem, and it's something I've lived with for a long time as I don't think it can be changed. Maybe you guys can help.
I open Messaging and switch to my work email account. I have the Network Connection set to use 'Work' Settings, and in the Work settings I have my VPN connection.
If I open Settings, Connections and click and hold on the VPN settings I can connect manually. Now I have a VPN connection and I can send and receive mail.
However, I want to be able to Send/Receive and for this to be automatic, so when I do this, if there's no 3G, it connects first, then the VPN connection is triggered, and the connection is established - however, in the mean time Messaging has gone off to try to find email from my work servers on the Internet, and always fails obviously. If I Send/Receive again, it connects right away as the VPN connection is already established from the first attempt. Email is sent and recieved as you would expect.
My problem is Messaging doesn't wait long enough for the VPN connection to be established, and although it triggers it, it tried to collect email before it's finished connecting, then I have to try again.
Or connect the VPN manually, but this is many clicks and not so User Friendly for staff who aren't so WinMo savvy.
Is there a way to have Messaging wait long enough for all relevant connections to be established before trying to find the mail server??
