Thanks
I'm sure if you did a quick search you could find the answer yourself, but...
Settings > Wifi > On > tap the Wifi network you want to connect to
1. Proxy toggle On
2. Enter the address in the server/url box
3. Enter the port in the Port box.

does anyone know what's up?
thanks
so i'm the only one with this problem?
can someone tell me what could be wrong?
Are you using the proxy fix?
no.
It used to work without it.
Somewhere I read that there were still areas of the US that were still working with out it. I didn't figure it was true, but apparently it is if yours was working without it until now.
What you need to do is set up a new T-Mobile connection. If you use your internet over activesync for any reason you will need to have 2 different connections, 1 without the proxy (use this one over activesync) and 1 with the proxy (use this one over GPRS). Since you already have the one without the proxy, I would just leave that one as it is. To set up the one with the proxy, go to start-->settings-->connections tab-->connections and add a new modem connection. From there, on the first page that comes up change the My connections field to T-Mobile Data and change the select a modem field to cellular line (gprs) then click next. Now, in the access point name field put in wap.voicestream.com, click next and then finish. Now that you should be back to the connections main page, click manage existing connections under the new connection that you just made and then click the general tab and name it T-Mobile Proxy so you know which connection is which from now on. After that, click on the proxy settings tab and check the this network connects to the internet box and check this network uses a proxy.... In the proxy server field put in 216.155.165.50 and then click advanced. Tap the HTTP field and on the next page that comes up change the port to 8080. Click ok until you're back at the settings page again and then click the advanced tab. Click the Select Network button and change the top drop down menu to your new T-Mobile Proxy connection (actually, I usually change both drop down menu's in there to the T-M Proxy connection, but I don't use a VPN so it doesn't really matter). Click ok until your back to your today screen and you should be good to go from there.
Hope this helps. Sorry if you already knew how to add the proxy and everything but I figured even if you already knew how to do it there would probably be others out there that this would help that didn't know how.
Thanks, but after using the Proxy, I can finally get my emails.
but i can't use agile anymore. sigh..
I've never used agile, but if it gives you the option in the setting to choose what port you use, just change it to 8080. From what I've read, some messaging apps allow you to do that.
According to agiles faq page, that apparently isn't the case. It says that you can only use certain ports and 8080 isn't one of them.
so from now on, only 8080 port works?
I'm not sure what all port are closed as of recently. 8080 is open for sure though so I figured that would be the best place to start. If you go to the agile faq page it lists the ports that can be used for the various messengers and try changing the ports used and see what happens. From what I read on that page it does look like you have the option to change the ports, but it didn't say how to do it.
I cant seem to connect to my office network because we are working behind a proxy and the G1 does not allow to enter a Proxy name!!!!
is there a way to enter a proxy name and port number in the browser or in the system. It can be done for APN but not WiFi!!!
Any suggestions!!!!
Hi Shobbow
I noticed this too, since i was trying to run all my traffic through a secure tunnel to my home computer.
I believe you need to use something like this

hopefully the route application should be able to route all traffic?
Let me know how you get on since this would be interesting if you can do it

OMG !!! please help meeeeeeeeeeeee I need to access to internet with my phone
Using a proxy is easy in WM6.5........Android cannot use proxies at all.
Connect to the wifi that uses proxy
Run Settings/Connections/WiFi
Click "Wireless Networks"
Click the wifi you are connected to
Change "Connects to:" to "work" next, next, finish
Run Settings/Connections/Connections
Under "My Work Network" click "Set up my proxy server"
Tick both boxes
Ender proxy server address (not the port number)
Click "Advanced"
Click HTTP
Edit the port number to whatever port your proxy uses
All done
Note: not all applications will use the proxy settings correctly....and some apps will try to use ports that your proxy cannot handle.
Web browsing, weather updates etc work ok

Hi...!!! May be there is some problem with your setup. I had also faced such problem. Here i will guide you with a simple configuration sets for HTC VPN
Add a new VPN connection:
Step # 1:
- Tap the Home icon, tap Menu, and tap Settings.
- Tap Wireless & networks.
Step # 2: Tap VPN settings
Step # 3: Tap Add VPN
Step # 4:
-Select the type of VPN to add (PPTP, L2TP, L2TP/IPSec PSK VPN, L2TP/IPsec CRT VP)
Step # 5:
- Enter VPN details such as VPN name, VPN server, etc
(The said settings will depend on the type of VPN protocol and the respective VPN Service you want to setup on your device)
Let’s Try L2TP VPN Details:
VPN Name: Name it whatever you want, e.g. VPN 1
VPN Server: IP Address or Address would be given to your by your VPN Provider or Network Admin.
L2TP Secret: It will be given by you VPN Service Provider or Admin. It’s secret security key to ensure that we are connecting to the right mobile device and server.
Leave DNS Search Domains as it is. Save the settings and move back to home screen.
Connecting to the VPN:
- Tap the Home icon, tap Menu, and tap Settings.
- Tap Wireless & networks
- Tap VPN settings
- The VPN connections which you have just added will be displayed.
- Tap the VPN through which you want to connect.
- A dialog box will open asking for your credentials, put in the details and tap again.
- When connected to a VPN, you will see an ongoing notification in the Status bar on your phone. If you should get disconnected, you will receive a notification and an option to go back to the VPN settings.
Disconnecting from the VPN:
Simply open the notification panel at the top of the screen on your phone and tap on the VPN notification then tap again to disconnect.

I apologize for reaching you a bit late...
Actually i had also faced such kind of problem then i configure it somehow.
And i am pretty much sure that you are either entering wrong user name, password or server name. I mentioned server name / address because it is the main problem which user facing at the time of setting up the vpn on their devices. So kindly try to configure it again with the correct details or you must contact t the concern VPN Provider regarding the same.
same problem
Hello,
I have same problem on MY HD2 with CM rom. Lot of tries but with same result.
I am able to connect, receive IP from pptp server and also I can ping routers LAN IP. But that's all. I am not able to ping other address from LAN. My Vpn setting on hd2 always shows "connecting" and connection crash after 10 sec. I thought it is problem on my router, but maybe not. Behaves it similarly for you?
Hello,
I have fixed permissions to /etc/ppp/ip-up-vpn to 777 and vpn pptp works perfect for me
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
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
