What is the difference for this..
Select your GPRS authentication method.
PAP authentication
CHAP authentication
Its from the latest O2 uk update. But what does it all mean please. Default, hence mine is chap. Is pap any better?
Thank you, Martin
They are means to authenticate during PPP call setup. PAP uses cleartext passwords, CHAP uses a challenge-response based on the hash of a shared secret. CHAP protects your login credentials against people that can listen in during call-setup. It does not encrypt the actual traffic.
Use whatever works...
I don't think it's very relevant. CHAP is a more secure authentication, but takes slightly longer than PAP. It all depends on what the end server supports. O2 support both, so it doesn't matter, but some other networks may not, so it's really there for compatibility.
I'm guessing slightly, but that's the genral rule with RAS.
clear as mud!!
Well I think that I'll leave it as it is then. GPRS is still too expensive to use that much anyway.
If there's problems security / compatability or otherwise I'll get back in touch.
Cheers, Martin
GPRS doesn't actually use either. The HLR holds your account details and which APN you can connect to. Most GPRS services use neither PAP or CHAP.
When the service uses externally allocated IP addresses, or in the case of corperate networks where the GPRS operator doesn't own the IP address pool then PAP or CHAP are used, after GPRS authentication is comlpeted.
PAP and CHAP are thus used to authenticate a mobile outside of the GPRS operator's "domain".

GPRS Settings for UAE
Access Point Name
mnet for GSM postpaid
waselmnet for wasel prepaid
Modem Type Cellular line(GPRS)
Dont' forget that GPRS in UAE is bloody expensive as hell.About 11 Dirham/1 MB.So figure it out by yourself.
UAE GPRS Setting
Access Point Name (APN) mnet
Username Mnet
Password Mnet
IP assigned
DNS 1 194.170.1.6
DNS 1 194.170.1.7
For the APN, just type in "etisalat.ae" and leave the other fields blank.
I think it costs 2 fils per kb....
Hi, i finally got the unlock code from Tmobile and i am now able to use my phone.
I am trying to setup the GPRS with Tmobile USA. I went onle and found some information, put it in and setup GPRS, but it does not seem to work. When i try to open a wap site with the GPRS, like wap.yahoo.com, it does not come up.
I do not pay for the GPRS, but from what i heard, with out devices, we can use it free, but not full web functionality. We can use pop, imap and stuff, and also get mms, and access wap site. Please if any one knows any configurations that work it will be greatly appreciated.
Try setting up your Proxy settings.
They changed their network requirement recently for Port 80 (HTTP). Be nice if they told everyone though!
Proxy setting should be:
216.155.165.50 on port 8080
According to the Tmobile sites I've frequented, there is no such thing as "free web" anymore and it disappeared months ago. Last time I checked personally, the cheapest you could get away with is the T-Zones data plan....whatever they call it now. I think it's 6 or 7 dollars a month and lets you use wap.voicestream.com as an access point. If you do that and use the proxy server 216.155.165.50, port 8080, you can get to most of the web. Recently, however, I've been reading that even that loophole is slowly being closed by area so while it mght work for me, it may not for you and it might not work for me tomorrow. You can certainly try it using the above access point and proxy setting, but don't be surprised if it does nothing without your paying for a data package.
Yeah, it seems they are slowly shutting down that "function" as mine works sporadically now. Damn. It was a bargain at $4.99/month for the last yr or so
yep - welcome to my world of 10 USD for 2MB a month ! :-(
A bargain indeed. I'm waiting to see if you can do the proxy workaround with your own proxy server. I've had the $20/mo package for ages and it's well worth it but my wife and son have the $5/mo package and use Tmo's http for web access and my own socks proxy for MSN Messenger. A fixed IP address is a big help but you might be able to get away with using dyndns.org for that, too. I guess we'll find out soon as more and more people find out they're starting to get what they paid for.
Well i'm sort of bummed out right now.
My t-mobile Tzones unlimited internet is working again, if I use the proxy. That's dandy. If I turn on my WI-FI and connect to my home wifi, however, I have to go into connections and turn off the proxy for my tmobile gprs in order for me to connect to the internet.
Perhaps I'm doing something horribly wrong, or is this the only way to do it? Please let me know.........
questionable
I have tried all i know, the proxy is blocking my wifi from connecting to the net, so i had to take it out. It says i am connected but i cannot seem to pull up any site, so i paid for the $5.99 t-zone deal, it says it might take a while to provision.
Now i am trying to test the connection by sending MMS, it has been a while i usually don't send MMS. How do i send MMS to a friend in london, i'm in the states, i know it is their mobile [email protected], just don't know what the something is. I know the US version is [email protected]. Thanks.
Also, my MDA PRo gives me an option of WAP1.2 or WAP 2.0, what is the diffrence?

Walk into a tmobile store and tell them that you want to pay for a sidekick plan for a compatible euro piece of hardware.
It will cost you $30 usd but its unlimited gprs
Create a new connection and use wap.voicestream.com as the access point. You might still have to call tech support if you don't bring the universal with you because the way I understand it, they ping the simchip and grab the IMEI over the air...may be better to just bring it.
Works great for me. I pop my verizon dsl mail all day with this baby
Now SOMEONE GET ME MY PUSH MAIL!!!
Try this settings...I hope this helps.

I have the t-zones unlimited plan on my account. This worked on my SX66 but stopped working when I upgraded to a Hermes.
Here are my current settings
access point name: wap.voicestream.com
HTTP proxy: 216.155.165.050:8080
WAP proxy: 216.155.165.050:8080
It seems to connect to GPRS and I see the "E" symbol on my signal strength but all pages time out. I tired IE and opera browsers
Hmm changed 216.155.165.050 to 216.155.165.50 fixed it... go figure
think that normaly with ip's the 0's in front are never typed out
could be that newer wm roms dident mask out those zero's
and faild because of it
T-Mobile internet Cabs
I've had this problem for the last couple of months. I just found this in the main Networking Forum. It contains ROM specific to your data plan. Mine now works fine, so your's probably will too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311446
I just moved my SIM from a BA (WM5) to an 8525(WM6).. same internet settings, proxy, etc.. (T-Mobile Web) was working on the BA and now it just connects, and eventually times-out with the error 502 message. Tried radio roms 1.47, 1.48, 1.50, no difference. Moved the sim back into my BA and internet works still. What gives? I did look in the registry on the 8525 under tcpip and noticed the gateway address is the same as the assigned dhcp address. This shouldn't be. Using chaps 3.54b Lite ROM.. any ideas?
T-Mobile tech support did in fact verify that they were closing down the WAP apn. Are they capable of making these kind of changes without notifying customers? The reason I ask is they still have instructions posted on the web for configuring windows mobile phones for "Web browsing" using the wap apn and proxy.. as far as I'm concerned they have breached their contract for my paid services.. actually I'm not under contract and this might give me the reason to consider other providers.
UPDATE.. the Black X Beta 2 works with T-Mobile Web and proxy..
I´ll give it a try

I have had a similar problem but in my case I have a Wizard not a BA, I´ve tried all kind of tweaks for
HKLM\Comm\Cellular Line\Parms\Tcpip and
HKLM\Comm\Tcpip\Parms
The default parameters looks the same for the Wizard and the Hermes except that the Hermes shows WINS addresses and the Wizard doesn´t (Please see my signature and provide your data)
hi,
I have been trying to solve this problem for ages now and i just cant seem to get GPRS working on pay as you go on o2. i am desperatly seeking for the help of anybody to fix this problem. Also if GPRS doesnt work is there any other connections you can use (not including WiFi), is there no way to get a different connection Eg, edge, dail up ect
thanks Dean
I used the settings on this site to set up my XDA on Orange PAYG, they also list O2 settings.
hi,
no luck there but thanks anyways. any other suggestions?
Where is it failing and what error do you get?

It just wont connect to GPRS, ive rang o2 and they said that they do not have any settings for it? i really need a wireless connection when im out and about
Maybe they don't do GPRS on PAYG, but that would surprise me. It may be worth posting up the connection details you have set and see if anyone can spot a problem.

these settings seem ok to me they work on my xda mini s
Background - I just bought a used 700wx from a friend and had it activated on my Cell provider, Sasktel, in SK, Canada. He had it on an expensive data plan and was tired of paying for this. A friend of a friend works for them and just transferred my account to this one from my previous phone, a Samsung A920 with Wap browsing. Sasktel provides their services using CDMA.
I would like to set up a WAP connection using this phone but am unable to find any connection software for this. The only connection I seem to be able to set up in system/connections are the TCPIP connections. I have the gateway IP address and port and my friends friend at Sasktel says that once I dial in with a wap connection, the authentication will automatically happen.
I have done some searching and seem to find that GSM phones have a GPRS setting that meets the requirements for a WAP connection ie; just the gateway and ports information.
Would anyone have any info that could help or point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Carl
I don't think Treo will support WAP, the method of login is a bit different and not known by many people
