Hi there!
Maybe I'm just too stupid, but I've benn trying for weeks now to setup the network parameters for my University's Campus network and failed miserably, so could someone please explain to me how this darn "Internet Connection Manager" works?
What I need in brief:
How can I setup a proxy to use with and only with
- HTTP(S) and FTP(S)
for a WiFi-Network that
- is NOT encrypted
- does NOT require dialing a number / accessing a modem
- does NOT use a VPN
??
Whenever I try this it always results in the connection dying completely.
In other words: When I select my standard UMTS-uplink as "default connection for programs connecting automatically" and then manually establish a WiFi-connection I can reach all computers available on the campus network get ping responses and everything, but I cannot use a proxy, hence not load off-campus pages.
When I define a new connection and enter my settings (just WiFi-name and the proxy details) I can still establish a WiFi-connection, but get a ping timeout even on the access point and the intranet servers usually available through the WiFi. No SSH login, no intranet, nothing (but I do get an IP assigned & stuff)
Here's what I would like to do in theory:
=> Manually connect to a WiFi-Network called "tuwlan".
. -open network
. -no encryption
. -IP, netmask, gateway, nameserver etc provided automatically by DHCP
=> Establish a SSH2 (SecureShell) connection to our on-campus proxy server and tunnel some ports to get through the Subnets (extremely restrictive) firewall.
. -SSH including port forwarding done with PockeTTY, works like a charm
=> Use Opera Mobile to surf web pages and FTP Sites through the proxy "localhost:40081" (which is forwarded to our campus proxy server through SSH2).
=> The Proxy only knows HTTP(S) and FTP(S), so all other programs (ICQ, Skype etc) are not to use it!
This setup used to work great with older Opera versions, but they removed the proxy setting dialog in favor of directly using the ICM settings.
So now I'm stuck with Microsofts Internet Connection Manager
Can anyone please help me to get this working?
I'm connecting with my HTC S710 to a WiFi with a static IP. The WiFi connection is set, I can ping other devices within the network but I can't view web pages and synchronize mails. I did lot of tests and I found that the problem is DNS! When I use IP address instead of www.something.com I can view the WWW site!
Does anybody know how to set DNS in my smartphone? DNS address is the same as gateway's in my case.
There's no possibility. Either you activate DHCP on your WiFi Gateway or you use a third party software that allows you to define WiFi profiles.
Does this one work for you? http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wifi-profiles-v0-0-2.html (although it is originally designed for PPCs)
Hallo fwmone,
thanks for your post!
I have just installed the Wifi Profile program but it's for PPC so there are problems with filling in the right values. I hope I'll be able to figure out how to use it. Anyway the programmer is also Czech so I've wrote him an email asking whether he plans to build Smartphone version..
The wifi I connect to is a local provider and unfortunately he uses static IPs
I'm really surprised that Vox doesn't have such a simple thing like DNS manual settings.
Yeah, the static IP functionality is quite useless without the possibility to set a DNS server.
Means "local provider" you're using some type of wireless internet at home or is it at a location where you can't control the situation? As long as you're using the service at home, you might install a WAP that works as a repeater for the WAN and offers DHCP functionality.
Hi fwmone!
So the problem is solved! The application WiFi Profiles v0.0.5 helped. Despite it's for PPCs it is possible to use it and to set all network configuration including DNS. After applying the profile the connection works fine! GREAT!!
Thanks for your hint!
FYI: that local provider covers our street and I don't control the router/access point. But you're right WAP repeater would be also a solution.
Nice that it worked!
Hi,
Just a simple connection question,
What is the difference between the preset WAP connection and an internet connection?
Thanks
Marc
Hello.
In general, with wap only connection you can just browse pages and use applications that support http proxy (if your carrier has wap 2.0 support, but it should support that)
With an internet connection you get full internet, including: POP3/SMTP/IMAP, IM, telnet, etc etc.
In other words, wap access has internet ports blocked. In general only the http(s) port is open (eg: 8000, 8080.. 443 for https)
Thanks for the reply
Do they both use 3G/GPRS to connect?
Marc
No problem
normally Yes.
In general, the big limitation is available open ports, like I've said earlier. And maybe the maximum speed. Also the response time may be affected because the data pass thru additional proxy, but in 3G is not that noticeable (as I've observed).
The connection is defined by an apn (access point name). My operator has "wap" for wap acces and "internet" for full internet. This differ from network to network.
G'look!
Hi people i'm here for asking you a thing..
I got the g1 android .. But in italy there are some restriction about internet carrier offers..
Right now i can only surf HTTP internet.. But if i try to go over an https connection (gmail , greader .... ) I cannot surf..
So i thought to put a vpnserver on port 80 and then tunnel every connection there...
Maybe easier could be tunnel every connection through an ssh ( port 80 ) connection...
Any other suggestion?
Another approach would be to develop this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_USB
Then you would hook up the phone to the computer, which would see another ethernet card (with the proper host USB-ethernet drivers). Once this is set, you just run iptables on the phone to nat the network connection... much cleaner than going through a wifi setup or through a special proxy... or dialing through the phone to get a connection and disabling the phone's networking, no?
Uhm , i think that it is wow..
But i need another thing.. What i need is tunnel every connection via ssh or vpn..
I'm trying that but that app should be used only for the phone...

Ah... now if I READ your request...
sigh.
You should try this:
http://openhandsetmagazine.com/2007/11/tips-howto-connect-android-emulator-behind-proxy/
Hopefully, that will tell Android to connect via a proxy somewhere that you either find or setup on a host at port 80, since that's the only port allowed for you.
Unfortunately it does not work ( i cant use sqlite3) .. I'm excluded from every https traffic
Hey folks,
I am on Android KitKat (nexus 5) and my college has a WPA2 enterprise WiFi.
We are have seperate user name and password , and we are connected to the internet via a specific proxy and port. (See attachments for my current settings)
The issue here is after connection my internet connectivity is restricted to web browsers such as chrome or Firefox. Any apps cannot to the way internet. Any tricks/ways i can make that happen ?
Thanks!
