network connections: now I see them, now I don't - Networking

Please help:
When I go into start-settings-connections-commections all my list of network connections are there, including my ISP connection
when I go to my inbox and ask it to get my mail it dumps the current connection (if there is one), then tells me there are no connections available in a message bubble. if I select the 'settings' link from the bubble it takes me to the connections page which is now empty!!
the connections are still there when I go to the connections page via the start menu!
Any ideas what is going on??? :shock:
also: how do I stop inbox from dumping the current connection and using it instead??

Orange GPRS XDA settings for pay monthly

I HAVE TRIED ALL THE GPRS SETTINGS ON THIS SITE BUT STILL CANNOT GET IT TO WORK,
BUT IF YOU ARE LIKE ME.
MY FRIEND AS A ORANGE MOBILE SHOP.HE IS GOING TO GIVE ME THE FULL SETTINGS ON SATURDAY 28/06/03. AND I WLL PUT THEM ON THIS
SITE
i have just got back in, and it WORKS, i have a xda on o2, i have unlocked my 02 xda with the software on this website, it is really good. But the settings on this website for the gprs none of them would work. I had an Orange pay monthly sim card with gprs enabled which, when i unlocked my xda, i couldn't establish a connection with gprs so here goes; here are the settings you need:
on the xda today screen
go on (start)
(settings)
(connections)
(connections)
on the,( when needed,automatically connect to the internet using these settings
drop the menu don and tap (new)
and write (orangegprs)
tap (next)
on the (select a modem)
drop the menu don and tap (oncellular line gprs)
drop the menu don and tap (baud rate) and tap (19200)
and tap next
access point name (orangeinternet) and tap finish
go back to (connections)
and tap (dialing lacations) tap dialing patterms change all the settings to G
tap (ok)
on connections tap modify orangegprs
tap modem tap orangegprs,tap advanced,
tap use name servers, tap use specific server address,
in dns 158.043.192.001
in alt dns 158.043.128.001
in wins leave it as 0
in alt wins leave it as 0
tap ok
tap next
tap finish
tap ok
that's it, you're done, but it's important when you connect to the internet, you must go from the today screen - start - settings - connections - connections (again) - and connect. Once you have connected to the gprs, then launch internet explorer.
If you don't do it this way, the 02 software wants to change all your connection settings back to 02.
Hope this helps you all out.
Please give me feedback
HI dave,
I was just going to post a message asking if someone had grps settings for orange in the UK !!!!!
just like you , i had an o2 xda which i unlocked using the fab tools by xda-developers.
i will get gprs enabled on my sim and then try your settings.
You are saying that, once configured, i cant just click on IE to launch the gprs ?
thanks mate
Hi Ali-Butt
I forgot to say you will b asked for a user name and pass word
leave this all blank and judt tick the save box
cheers mate
i am doing the settings now !!!
can i ask, why you have one set DNS settings and another posts by other chaps have others????
i have seen
dns1:193.35.131.194
dns2:193.35.131.195
are these wrong?
thanks mate
HI Mate
WhenI got the GPRS working with the settings I have posted, when I clicked on ie, without connecting to the GPRS first the settings change back to the o2 settings. How I connect is to go to start, settings, connections and connections again and then connect, then the GPRS will connect then I launch ie. Since then I removed from the xda the o2 smart menu from the add and remove programmes now I can just launch ie and I have no problems, at the beginning when I put the settings in and I was having trouble with the o2 settings taking over, for some reason I can't understand the orange settings were all still correct but would not work so even though the settings were still there and correct I had to start re entering them as a new connections all over again. Hope this helps you out, if you have any trouble please post a message on here and I will be more than willing to hepl you.
cheers Dave
HI Mate

dns1:193.35.131.194
dns2:193.35.131.195

Hi dave,
thanks for your posts.
i can now tell you my findings.
firstly, i created a new connection with the apn "orangeinternet"
using cellular gprs as the line and 19200 as the speed.
If i click on ie.... it connects first time !!!.. works a treat !
if i click on internet on the O2 smart menu, it tries to connect back to O2....
so quick solution, just remove it from the main screen and your laughing!
so mine is all working without specifying any dns settings. Perhaps its all dhcp , with ip / gateway / dns all coming down from orange?
do you think it will make any difference adding them in?
perhaps faster name resoultion?
cheers dave

Orange GPRS
Hi,
I'm a bit of a newbie with the XDA, Ive setup as per the instructions above and I'm connecting ok (i think) - as i can send retrieve emails and surf - I'm just a little unsure as to whether it's connecting via GPRS or just by a data call as I dont get the "G" on the screen to signify GPRS - can anyone help please
Cheers

Hi, i have this sorted now. you create a new internet connection and use the gprs setting from the dropdown, the only setting you need is the accesspoint name which id payginternet, all other settings are default... even the orange phone trainers couldnt get it working.
:lol:
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT GUYS, IT WORKS A TREAT!
LAST NIGHT I WAS SO DESPERATE THAT I WAS GOING TO CALL IT A DAY, BUT… I KEPT READING YOUR POSTINGS AND I THINK YOU ARE ALL SUPERB!!!
MANY THANKS TO YOU ALL. NOT EVEN ORANGE KNOWS HOW TO DO THESE SETTINGS.
I need HELP !!!
I have tried to follow various updates here to connect my O2 XDA via GPRS to ORANGE UK. It have the PPC2003 Cooked ROM and hence none of the above instructions are quite what I see.
However all I had to do was:
start -> settings -> connections -> connections --> created a connection called ORANGE with modem type "Cellular Line (GPRS) -> Next -> "ACCESS POINT NAME" typed: "orangeinternet"
Afterthis do NOT fill in anything for userid or password and just select FINISH.
I also had to: Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> select ADVANCED tab -> "Select Location" button -> select Mobile and press Edit button -> Select DIALING PATTERNS button -> For ALL entries select "G" instead of the default "+EFG".
With all above done I CAN connect to internet and even connected to my ISP WEBMAIL but it is slow. I also do NOT get the "G" icon for GPRS.
I am not sure if this is conecting via GPRS or NOT ???
when I type WWW.ORANGE.NET it does say it is connecting via GPRS but I do not see the "G" icon. Any help ???
Also I just signed up for ORANGE UK EMAIL and then tried to via orange.net instruction to configure my XDA inbox but they only recognise a small number of PDAa with PPC2003 connected to a phone via bluetooth or IRD. They do not support PPC 2003 or XDA.
HOW Do you configure the XDA inbox to connect to orange pop3 and smpt server and download mail ???
PS: I can ping SMTPOUT.ORANGE.NET but no pop3 server...
Thanks for any help. :!:
I just figure out what to do to get connected to Orange email.
Simply: start -> Inbox -> Accounts -> New Account -> Type in your Orange EMail Address -> Type in your USERNAME and PASSWORD and select "Save password" -> NEXT -> FINISHED.
That is it. I can connect to internet and email via my INBOX and WEBMAIL.
WEBMAIL is slow but inbox is just OK on the move.
Hi I have a XDA II I have unlatched it from O2 I am now on orange I need to be able to send and recieve MMS, the instructions dont seem to work on my XDA, orange say that I am enabled to send MMS.... can anyone help please Thank you
asking about internet sharing with P3600 and P6500
Hello,
i have learned a lot reading this forum and i am wondering if you know about this:
When my PC connect to internet through internet sharing of P3600 i get H mode (HSDPA), then how can i see the real rate of sharing ?
Is it reaching 10 Mb of local network, or else ?
What is the real rate of HSDPA for P3600 ? And for P6500 ?
(1.6 Mb/s and 7.2 Mb/s ? )
Do you think QUALCOMM of SIRIUS P6500 can support overclock ?
Do you know DNS settings for french orange internet with PDA ?
Thanks anyway. Mobility with HTC is much fun and efficiency.
; -))
I also share this experience about energy saving on HTC P3600 and TYTN:
Many users are complaining about autonomy of HTC. I have check settings of internal cards and everything is set - no saving - in extended settings.
Then, i experienced the setting - energy saving - during travels.
I does work, and i get days of battery autonomy.
The most impotant is to set SD card to -ernergy saving, and Wlan, and Wifi, and infrared, and also two other network cards.
Let me know your experience and setting about energy saving please.

still not working..
hi.. thanks for the help..
i have internet in the connections drop down selected. i still cant get internet explorer to connect to the internet through my pc, it still tries to connect via WAP and GPRS..
should i settup a connection through a proxy server... how would i do this..
thanks again for any help
Tony
Hi Tony,
I definitely didn't set up a proxy server on my XDAII, so I'm pretty sure its not that.
Have you got a connection set up to use the GPRS connection on your XDA - under start - settings - connections tab - connections . I have a connection called 'My ISP' , which when I click on 'manage existing connections' has the modem set to use a GPRS connection. Again I don't remember setting this up, so it may be something O2 install from the rom. Try a reset and see if it picks anything up.
One thing I would suggest you do get when you are using GPRS is some sort of traffic monitor. I use Spb GPRS monitor (via Handango) and its well worth a tenner.
Hope this helps
Hi i just got my XDA2 today and I too can not get onto Internet through Activesync and pc just tries to call up on gprs
I have tried the above suggestion still no luck
Can any one help
I can connect to the Internet from my XDA II via the ActiveSync connection on my desktop PC. The connection was configured automatically by the XDA II when I first synchronized it with the desktop PC. The XDA II even automatically configured the proxy server setting to the one I use at the office.
Go to Start->Settings, select the Connections tab and click on Connections. On the Connections window, there should be two connections listed on the Tasks tab. Select the Advanced tab and click on the Select Networks button. On the Network Management window, the first drop-down list should have your GPRS connection selected and the second drop-down list should have your ActiveSync connection (My Work Network) selected.
Thanks Jargon got mine working now

Just follow the same directions I have already given. But instead of selecting the missing "My Work Network" connection, create a new one by pressing the "New..." button below the second drop-down list. Name it "My Work Network". Then select the "Proxy Settings" tab and check the "This network connects to the Internet" checkbox. Click on "OK" to close the window.

GPRS works in IExplorer but - applications other applications can't use network conne

Dear friends,
I'm experiencing the following wired problem with my Sim-unlocked O2 XDA Neo (with original O2 software), which I'm using in Austria with the cell-provider tele.ring.
I've properly configured a new network-connection called "teler.ring GPRS" as described by my provider and it's possible for me to dial-in and connect.
When I start the WM5 IExplorer (or Opera Mobile) the phone dials in with GPRS and everything works fine as I'm able to surf the web.
Well unfortunately all other applications except those two (e.g. email, qmail, fring, skype, spbweather) are not able to use this internet connection - the email application for example tells me that the server cannot be found....
I have the feeling they are not accessing the proper network-connection. Is there any special profile I have to alter (e.g. network connection "ISP" or "O2 GRPS", etc.) with the GPRS settings so that the other applications can access the connection too?
How can I debug in this case to find where the problem could be?
Thanks for your help!
kr Andrew
There are two possible causes:
1) When you created the GPRS connection you did it under 'My ISP' correct?
If in the connections dialog you go to the 'advanced' tab and click 'network selection' you will see two drop-down lists. Make sure 'My ISP' (or whatever group your connection is under) is selected in both.
This way all programs will know to use it.
2) The other possibility is more problematic: some cell providers block traffic on all ports except standard HTTP ones (80, 8080) so any program that uses different ports (probably anything other than a browser) will not work.
You will have to settle this with your cell co.
Thanks for your reply,
add1)
Well I'm not quite sure where to find "My ISP"?
When I've created a new Networkconnection I directly wen to the connections dialog, "the advanced tab" and said "new" in one of the two drop-down lists.
After I've created this new connection, it is available in both of these drop-down boxes. After this, I selected it in both - so that all programs should acutally know how which connection to use.
add2)
I'm in email traffic with my cell provider, but actually - as they even offer email as an option - they actaually told me that the specfic ports (e.g .125 for IMAP) should not be blocked..
3) Is there a kind of network monitor for my PPC where I can read the exact statement of failure (e.g. use ping, or other network instruments)?
4) Is it possible that O2 (that's the software I'm using) has a predefined ports or application block on the device, as they I think are offering something like a gprs-flat?
Thanks for your help!
kr Andrew
I don't have the answer for 3 and 4 (I know there are network tools just can't remember any right now) but I think your problem is in step two.
You created a new group for your connection and this may confuse some programs.
By default, when you open 'Settings->Connections->Connections' on the first tab you should see 'My ISP' in bold and under that a link 'Add new network connection'. You should create your GPRS connection through that link and not in a new group (don't go to advanced).
If it is not there that could be something O2 did with the settings and unfortunately I am not sure how to get it back.

Internet Surfing Problem

How come some of the sites that I visit, I always get the message "Could not locate server"?
Is there a setting that I need to do to be able to view the websites normally?

Are you attempting to visit the sites via WiFi or your data plan? Any sites in particular?
If you can visit the site using your WiFi connection, but not using your data connection, it could be a proxy issue.
At any rate, more details please!
Im using wi-fi connection

You REALLY are going to need to give more information than that. Please be thorough.
(as far as I know, nobody here has ESP)
when you say thorough, what do you mean? i have no proxy connection settings whatsoever.
Is it possibly a problem with your ISP? Do the URLs work part of the time? If so, I would think that you are sending the correct request to your ISP but that they cannot get a good connection.
Just using some logic, I have no real knowledge of the message and its meaning
Brad
Which browser are you using? I find I.E. particularly temperamental. Try Opera Mobile or Opera Mini 4.
If you're using WIFI it shouldn't be a service provider issue
Internet connection settings for Pocket PCs are soo convoluted. But basically...
If you connect through WI-FI, you have to do these steps
Settings > Connections tab > Connections > Advanced tab > [Select Network]
On the top drop-down box that says "Programs that automatically connect...." Select "My Work Network"
Go to Comm Manager and turn on WI-FI. If you turn on WI-FI before doing these steps, sometimes it will still give you error messages
If you switch connection to a data plan, do the above steps again but instead of selecting "My Work Network", pick the data plan account that you created from the top drop-down box

Hidden GPRS connection

Hi,
I have a hidden connection (Name : MMS) in my connection manager(Made automatically) which I see it is for MMS. Is it possible to make it visible?
The problem is that when I am trying to make connection from laptop it is using automatically this connection (by *99#).
Thx
to view the settings of the hidden one (its not really hidden, you can only see one modem connection at once)
Mine are 'mobile web' and 'o2 active', with o2 active being the hidden mms one, replace mine with whatever yours are called.
settings menu all settings connections connections advanced select networks
change the dropdown from 'mobile web' to 'o2 active', and you will find when you jump back to the tasks tab it is now showing the hidden one, and you can access its settings by tapping 'manage existing connections'.
Of course, now the original one is hidden and your programs will try to use the mms one, and probably fail.
