How to access college wifi with user name & password??

Ok so they give us a password to connect to the wifi, then from there if you are on a laptop then browser automatically opens and you input a user name and password...this then connects you. I'm not too sure how to do this on my Jasjar, do i manually configure? How? Where do i input username and password because the browser doesnt automatically open for me. We are trying to connect using phones, iphones, and my ppc. How do I connect??
Thanks for reading.

Do you know what kind of authentication used in your school? It's 802.1x? Do you have to install a certificate? Try to find out more information...

Open a good browser(say opera) and try opening any site on it. This is most likely the case. You'll be auto-directed to the page where you can input the user-id and password

I have similar problem.
The VPN solution that is used needs users to authenticate via xauth, which is not supported by WM.
Does anyone have a good proposal for a client to use?
If there's no free solution I don't (really) care about the costs.

@ loiz
Thanks for the links
I tried to find some proper software myself, but apparently i did something really wrong!
The decription of the NCP Tool looks promising, as it should include everything I need. I'll give it a try (could take some days) and tell whether I've been lucky or not...

I downloaded Opera so i will try with that tomorrow...I cant understand German so i cant understand that link and cant download. Will see with Opera anyway, thanks.

You don't need to
First, on the german version of the NCP homepage youget to the downloads by clicking Downloads, then choosing Software, then the Client, that's also named english
If you can't figure out how to set up he account needed in german, just click on the little American flag in the upper right of the screen
It's present on the homepage and the downloads page.
The second link is just an instruction anyway, except for the link to the SecureW2 Client. You should find the (english) homepage of that via google. You don't need to bother downloading that if the authentication method isn't 802.11.

Thanks mate, but I tried with Opera and it works!!! Now to find a way to access msn!!

You can allways use online live messenger http://mobile.live.com/pocketpc/

Been looking for a way to get it to work at college as well.
Have got no idea what do cause we use certificates here, have one on my ppc and installed it (on sd as well as the device).
Got practically everything filled out except when selecting a certificate i get the message that there is none.
Been trying to consult the It-services desk but they have no experience whit this.
Do you have any idea which steps i should take?
Thanks in advance

Online messengers are blocked also, they use some burst filtering software or something, will check to see if i can find an unblocked site. Would be great if there was a way to allow everything. Thanks lads.

is HTTP Mail 1.5 workinf on WM6?

Hi,
for some reason on WM6, HTTP mail 1.5 won't work for me.
has anyone got it to work?
Thanks!

bump.
please help out.
Thanks

no idea.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=html+email+1.5&btnG=Google+Search
what are you referring to? all i can think of is html email...

On the WM5, I used a program called HTTP Mail 1.5, It helps me connect to hotmail using the proxy HTTP connection. Since Hotmail doesn't use Pop or Imap.
hope we can figure something out.
Thanks

Well seeing as the program isn't working for you I'll assume it has WM6 problems...
Your best bet, IMHO, is to check the website of or contact the developer directly. As I've never heard of the program (probably because I don't use hotmail so no need really) and it seems not many others have either.
At the very least, provide a bit more info about the program with maybe a link to the developer's site. As I have no idea where to find it to even see if I can offer some suggestions. Google turned up dry...

thank you for you reply.
i bought the program from here:
http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=9539&associateid=17
U can have a 30 day trail.
I remember i got it to work once on jwzg's rom.
but after a day of using his rom, my phone got screwy, so i'm using another rom now.
im currently using the Boring WM6 rom.
I was able to revieve mail, but not send it. in jwzg's rom. but in WM5 i can do both.
i also tried following the instructions here:
http://dashapps.googlepages.com/
but his menu/button seems different from mine. I assumed all wm6/wm5 had the same button.
thanks if u can help out.

On my HTC Polaris (with WM6) it works.
I must say I did not use the cab installer (as a rule I prefer manual installations, better control on the process) but I extracted the files from the cab, copied them under \Windows and registered manually HTTPMail.dll, MIME.dll and HTTPTransport.dll using regsvr_arm.exe (attached just in case...)

my http mail came in EXE form.
can u post the files too?
Thanks!

Here's the error i get BTW:
The HTTP redirect request failed

Error Source: HTTP

Messenger "There is a problem with the server"

Hi all,
I am having trouble signing into Windows Live Messenger on my XDA Serra (HTC Touch Pro).
It only happens with my main Windows Live account - when I sign in with my old account Messenger works fine.
The message I get is:
There is a problem with the server. Please try again later.
I have contacted Microsoft and they have "escalated" the problem within their tech support department but ultimately they have not been any use. In the last e-mail I got from them they suggested contacting my carrier. I had already contacted o2 and they said they cannot help in this issue. I am pretty convinced it is a problem relating to my Windows Live account. Hard Reset of the device has not helped.
Please if anyone can help or has had similar experiences post here!
Thanks,
Matt

Bump...
Went to all the trouble of creating a new account, it worked for a couple of days and now it's failing again.
Please help! :-(

I'd never seen this problem until a few days ago. My connection and internet access are still rock-solid, but suddenly I haven't been able to sign into messenger. I re-flashed the custom ROM I've been using, but that didn't fix it. I suspect either AT&T is trying to force me to use their proprietary IM client (presumably so they can charge me for text messaging) or it is indeed something wrong with my Live account.
Please help me too!

Help me too!! That makes three of us. Im using MSN over EDGE/GPRS and it won't sign in for me too. I keep getting requests of contacts that have added me..and when I click on allow, it says "There was a problem with the server". Sometimes, it just wont sign in at all, come what may.

Wow, I'm quite relieved that it's not just me!
Have you guys tried signing in over Wi-Fi? It doesnt matter what connection I use, I can never sign in.

Have you guys updated your MSN client PC side to the new 2009 version? Apparently (after I started having hassle with my Touch Diamond today) as soon as you sign in to MSN PC side on the new 2009 client with multi-sign in it renders your account buggered and in turn WinMo won't sign in no matter what you hard-reset or install.
Try an old account that has never signed in to 2009 version and your fine.

Yep this is the conclusion I have come to.
Sadly, Microsoft customer services really don't want to know. I have been in email discussion for over a month, and they are truly useless.
I guess we're at the development team's mercy, if they know or even care about this problem.

It can't be that difficult to sort out for them. Other third party apps (e.g. IM+) are logging in fine and you then get the usual "you have been signed out" message on the PC. So for now I'm going to use a chain of trial versions in the hope that MS sort this out in the next month seeing as 2009 went official this week.
And don't get me started on the new version of the PC client. What primary school children did they let loose on the design?!

try Palringo

I know this doesn't help but I'm also suffering the same problem and also fixed with a new Live ID not that it's the answer! Been playing with a lot of Live services so wasn't sure if Messenger was the cause...

I changed the messenger version and problem solved!
Do a SEARCH on this great site to find another version
Good luck,

I´m using this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323847&highlight=live+messenger
Hope it helps,

Well, still no news from Microsoft regarding this issue. It has been 11 days since I last received an email stating that resolving the problem was their "top-most priority" although they could not provide a timeframe for resolution.
I've emailed them again to ask if there is any news but I'm not keeping my fingers crossed.
It's pretty disgraceful how the functionality of our devices can be reduced in this way through a problem with the server. I hope it's fixed soon.

Microsoft really needs to get more people working on Windows Mobile products. Out of nowhere, all of their mobile products (Live Mail, Live Messenger, Live Contacts, Sideshow) failed to work since the beginning of January and there is no support what so ever.

So it's been about 4 months now since I was last able to use Windows Live Messenger on my Windows Mobile device.
This is so far beyond a joke that it's become funny and then lost all funnyness again.
I am tired of using Palringo, though I do appreciate their free service.
Has anybody managed to get any information about a possible fix? I've read elsewhere that Microsoft have suggested to some people that they just create a new Windows Live ID. This is quite franky a ridiculous suggestion, as I am sure many people are quite attached to their e-mail address. Personally it would be a huge inconvenience for me to have to change my address.

The problem seems to be with the live mail address book. I managed to get it working by exporting my contacts, deleting them, and importing them again. Has been working fine now for several weeks. More info here:

I have deleted all my contacts but I am still getting "Problem with the server".
Is there anything else I can do?

I thought I should wrap this up... a few months ago it just magically started working again.
While I'm happy it is working, I'm still left concerned that the functionality of my device is purely at the mercy of Microsoft, and I am utterly helpless to do anything about it or even find out what's happening.

Uncheck the synch contacts option when installing is the solution..........in step 4 in ver 10.6.***

[Q] Anyone solve the Exchange Sync Error 85010013 problem

I have a Touch Pro and have flashed a ROM based on eRice's Kitchen. I get an error when I setup Exchange SYNC of 85010013. It seems to be related to a security check.
It works on the Stock Rom before Flash and after a Flash back to Stock.
An extensive Google search showed that there are multiple people that have this issue but no solution.
Common Symptoms
-WM 6.1
-Exchange 2007
-Strong Security on Exchange server
Some thoughts from threads around the net
-"that the "Device not provisioned" is causing it, and more specifically the Remote Wipe functionality. Assuming that your organisation isn't willing to not implement this on every phone containing business data, a workaround is needed."
- this error comes if the DeviceEncryption.dll and its related registry entries are missing.
- That problem may exist if the developer has removed Enterprise from the ROM. Those modules are needed for the Exchange syncingSome people wrote me an PN that the problem is:
- this error comes if the DeviceEncryption.dll and its related registry entries are missing.
- That problem may exist if the developer has removed Enterprise from the ROM. Those modules are needed for the Exchange syncing
Looking for some ideas.....

I don't know if this might help or not...

i had this error message from Zone alarm... not from the beginning, but later on difficulties with as (at first fast synchronisation was impossible) it was hard to deinstall it complete (see google....)
Maybe that helps..

Good thought, but I get the error only with Over the Air Sync to Exchange. I can sync to the PC just fine.

Might sound an obvious one but have you tried disabling your proxy server on the GPRS connection?

Or...
Or you are using the wrong settings in 'Connections'. I get that error every time I try to sync after flashing until I change all settings to to MEdiaNet and then yes, remove the proxy option. After that, no more errors! Let me know if that works!
And the 'sync fine with the pc' comment proves that it is not your profile (which is also a possible solution).
Wow... I'm a 'Junior Member'... I feel like I'm naked and everyone's looking at me now...*SLAP*!

Hi Vertigo
How do I remove the Proxy Option?

There are MANY MANY options to do it, and (as senior members require me to do) I'm obligated to tell you to search for RemoveProxy.cab and follow the link below. Enjoy! Glad to help. Hey, and I'm up to post number 5 now! I'm almost a mod!!
http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&...m=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=remove+proxy.cab&spell=1

....or.....
Go into Start>settings>connections(tab)>connections
Click on "Edit My Proxy" or something along those lines, untick the lower tick box and then cycle your connection if you need to.
Ive ALWAYS had to do this since tmobile(UK)'s proxy kills almost everything....and since im on wnw+ id like to take advantage of it

Free ssh client for WM6.1??

Hey folks,
I recently got an HTC Fuze and am looking for a good, free, ssh client for this phone. I have looked around and found pocketputty but I hate Putty in general. Does anyone know of another free ssh client for WM6.1. Or maybe someone built openssh for WM6.1?
TIA

Nope, I do not. However, I just tried pocket-Putty and it works really well.
The thing is... I have no means to send the [Esc] key through Pocket-Putty (as it is not on my HTC touch Diamond software-keyboard). Hence: I can not use programs who need that (i.e. VIM as I can not jump out of my editing-modus). So I would appreciate alternative SSH clients (with 'special charachter send'-options build in), or a workaround to send [Esc] in Pocket-Putty to be posted

you can just download a different keyboard program you dont have to use the one that came with your phone. get vgakey.cab. if you need me to upload it pm me.

Of course, I should have thought of that myself . It worked like a charm, Thanks!
Although my practical problem is solved, I need to apologize for hijacking Fuzewraith's thread. So, back on topic: Does anyone have an alternate SSH client?

There's also midpssh..
