Hi there,
I have never been able to understand the difference between My ISP and My Work Network. So, I just deleted MyISP. In My Work Network, I have the GPRS connection and it works perfectly fine. If I connect to activesync, I can use internet. Good.
The problem comes when I want to connect to VPN. I make a new VPN connction, I click on it and click/tap connect. it connects GPRS but the vpn doesnt seem to get connected. And every tap will just give the option of CONNECT which basically means that its not getting connected.
Quetsions:
1. What is wrong with my setup?
2. How can I verify that im connected with VPN or not?
p.s: the vpn is managed by a friend of mine, right now its on L2TP and if any changes are required in the settings. it can be changed.
Im using wm6.5 , hd mini.

Does anyone know if I can connect my laptop to internet via my phone, T-zone internet, by using Internet sharing? I failed to do this. Can someone give me an instruction? thanks
hey buddy, you need to have data connection on, when you connect your phone via usb and internet sharing enable. Make sure you have tmo's proxy configured in your T-Mobile Data Connection.
Work with phone but Laptop
Yes my phone is able to connect to internet by itself, Tzone with proxy setup, but I would like to go to internet by using my laptop and use the phone as modem by running internet sharing program but It failed to connect.
what you are asking about is turning your laptop into a hotspot and connecting to the internet using the wifi not regular nework. is that it

you need to connect the phone to your computer via bluetooth and your computer will see the phone as a modem then setup the a new connection with the phone and voila.
I am using usb cable to connect it. I am running NBD 8.2.
not sure how to make it work on the cable but with 8.2 you should be able to connect the phone to the PC and turn on dialup networking via serial port over bluetooth

I never tried this before. I will try it tonight.
You have to set up the same proxy server in your web browser on your laptop as the one you have set up for the t-mobile internet on your phone.
Not sure really if its different for T-Mobile or not but i'm with Cingular and I use my wizard as my primary internet source for my desktop. Connect your phone via USB, let AS connect, then turn on internet sharing. It'll disconnect AS and display on internet sharing if its connected or not. Hopefully this helps.

Work great. thanks
No problem, glad I could help. I figured that out a few weeks ago the day after I got back from a business trip where I stayed in hotel that didn't have an internet connection and no wifi spots anywhere close. Wish I had thought to try that sooner.
Hello everyone, i have a small problem with my new toy, i`m using a wireless connection at home and at work, thing is when i`m home i need to use a VPN connection to connect to my office network and then remote desktop to my PC, thing is that when i`m at the office, everything works just fine (though then i dont need the PDA, because i have the PC with me), but when i go home, i connect my PDA to my home wireless network, and i make a VPN connection to my office, until now everything works just perfectly, but when i try to access something local on my office network, things get dirty it just tries to access my local network at home (despite the active VPN connection), can someone give me an idea how to root my traffic ? Is there something i`m missing ? Thanks
Hi Guys,
I am running active sync 4.5 on my works pc and I want to connect my wm6 device to it whilst I am at work. However, my device checks my gmail and this is blocked via my works network, so i want my device to stay connected to gprs and use that instead of try to use my pc connection.
Is there a setting in Active sync to tell it to use its one connection to the internet instead?
I have set that this PC is connected to the Work network and that has not made any difference.
What else can I try?
Thanks
Doh, I reread the option underneath and the 'allow wireless connection whilst device is connected' sorts this out!
Ok tell a lie.
The GPRS now stays connected but the device isnt using it to connect to the internet. It still tries to use the pass through.
Anyway around this? I assume i need to adjust my connection settings to do with 'work' and the 't-mobile internet' connections.
Hi guys,
I've recently become the proud owner of a vodafone touch pro. However when connecting to wifi, opera etc will not find any webpages. Now i know my wifi is working and the phone connects fine and picks up the DHCP ip address.
What could I be doing wrong? I've noticed data connections is disabled but I believe this is just for GPRS etc? Either way how can I confirm my wifi connection is being used?
Many thanks
EDIT - NM it was because it was not set to work
Hi Scribe,
I had the same problem as yours. No solution so far. Had no problem with GPRS.
I have mine working good on either wifi or GPRS.
Probably it's wifi problem? Have you tried on another wifi connection?
what was not set to work?
I have the same issue, connects to wifi but no internet. laptop connects and browses fine, but touch pro (and also diamond) don't
Make sure when you set your wifi connection up you say that it is used to connect to work not the internet, also make sure your adapter settings say this.
The problem is that the phone will always default to GPRS/3G for the internet but if it senses a local work network it will use that first.
Stupid I know!
I have the same prob, I changed some settings and it works. Try change Authentication to Shared instead of WAP-PSK, Data Encryption to WEP instead of TKIP. After you have internet connection, you can change to previous wifi settings with same network key.
Mine has gone again! I swear it's because 'Connects to the internet' wont save in the proxy settings - nope not that and still wont work, I've also tried by disabling all security
I have my gmail account linked for pull notifications...
the problem is it will not connect to gmail via wifi rather it olny updates through the 3g data network.
I have checked the advanced settings where the connection type is set to internet but this doesnt change things...
Any suggestions?
make sure you have the wifi connected on and connected to the internet.
also, through the connection tab in settings make sure you have told it that internet connects to wifi,
although, it may be better for you to temporarily disable the data connection whilst you use the wifi if the above doesnt work.
Im for sure connected to my wifi network...
I make the other adjustments...
thanks for the reply!
hi
sometimes wm can be picky like that
why not update over the 3g network?
This comes up becasue I work in the basement of a building with little to no access to cell signal so I can enable wifi and connect but it will not sync wia wifi...
