I have a problem with several Android phones, in that I need to change the Exchange server name. They have all worked fine externally over 3G as the server name they seem to have been set up with (e.g. domain.com) resolves to the external IP address of the network, which serves Exchange and web servers etc.
However we now need to connect them internally via a WiFi network but on the internal network the web servers and Exchange are on different servers, so domain.com resolves to the web servers and mail.domain.com resolves to Exchange. As mail.domain.com also resolves to the same IP as domain.com externally, they should have been set up with mail.domain.com from the start, but only now we are needing to connect via WiFi is the problem showing up.
Anyway, long explanation, short question: how do I change the server name, as from the Edit Account screen the Server Address box is greyed out?

Hi Guys,
I have a fair number of Orange E650's which connect to my Exchange server via GPRS/3G (Orange Internet).
Theyve been working fine for months until this week we moved our mail server to another site. Nothing at all has changed on the server, only its address.
Outlook Web Access works fine, which is what ActiveSync uses to sync with the server, but for some reason I now get this error.
I can use IE on the phones to access OWA with no problems, but when ActiveSync tries to connect it just gives me this error.
If I use the wrong username and password it comes back to me to verify them so it must be contacting the server to verify the credentials, therfore it can be a DNS or Cache problem.
I've just done a hard reset on one of the phones and get the same issue when I setup the email account.
Does anyone have any ideas?
For some reason my email doesnt work with edge, only wifi. when i try to send/recieve my email without wifi it says "cannot connect with current connection settings. I tried searching and found nothing. Anyone have any ideas. Oh I have a fuze by the way
Email via Operator..

FUZEinMYpants,
Are you using a large outfit like gmail or something like your company email? If the latter, does it only work on wifi when you are on your company's wifi network or Starbucks' wifis as well?
The reason I'm asking is that depending on the email servers (there are two, one for sending, the other for receiving mostly) you may only be able to interact with them if your coming from an IP address that falls within the range of whatever the administrator set. I for example could not send email when I went down to Florida because AT&T gave me a too different IP address than what I get in New York so I had to ssh into my email server and modify the range.
Your admin may only allow email to be relayed out and/or read if you're on the LAN which in this case, in your office or college on their wifi network connected to the local area network to which the mail servers are connected.
If that's not it then we may have a connectivity problem with your settings. Maybe a bad proxy configuration, your email server doesn't like wap.cingular which is behind a nat, maybe your email server requires a type of encryption you're either not specifying or is not supported by Pocket Outlook, maybe they're using imap and not pop and you're mixing that up, maybe they don't have encryption but they used funky ports for the vanilla protocols -- I'm going to stop typing until you tell me what the story is with your email setup.
In the meantime, to hold yourself over with the phone and without wifi, consider getting your mail through a webmail thing your server may run (I run roundcube) using Opera or PIE, depending on the webmail interface.

Check the setting in your email settings under advanced server settings and make sure that it says Netowrk conncetion media net or att isp. I have seen it default to Work and that locks it into Wifi. I send and recieve email everyday on EDGE since I do not have 3g within 40 miles of here.

I checked this its set to media net
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.
hi, is there any app which is able to switch different ip address and DNS for different wifi AP? I have fixed IP at home and then when i try to connect to any other, i have to delete fixed IP settings and when back home write it back.
tried google but no luck
thanks
so as i see, there is propably no app
I tried this too, and found the exact same problem. I know of no way to save different "profiles" for wifi settings.
The solution I found is to have IP address reservation enabled on my router, and to use the MAC address of my phone so that it is always assigned the same IP address.
Same result - just a different way of doing it. It does, however, mean I can have wifi settings for multiple places now.
have you guys tried wifiprofiles?

Hi
I had wifi in my office where we could use net without any problem, now proxy server has been set up. I know all the settings but cant figure out how to enter IP Address in my HD7 (Mango) manually to start browsing.
e.g. the proxy server IP is: 192.168.0.1
Now I need to give an IP to the phone myself, say: 192.168.0.69
But the phone is automatically giving itself IP: 192.168.1.xx
This is very annoying as I am unable to sync my mail in the office.
Any help will be highly appreciated
You can edit the WiFi network settings for the particular network, by tapping and holding on it.

Only the server etc. can be edited when proxy is turned on, there is no way to edit my HD7's own IP address
