Hi All,
Does anyone know how to manage proxy settings on the Acer Iconia A500?
Also does anyone know how to install wifi LAN certificates....
I'm not too keen on rooting my device.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanx
As far as I know Android only has proxy config settings in 3.1, which we will hopefully have soon.
That being said, I had no problems connecting my Iconia to my work wifi using my intranet credentials. It's EAP authed 802.11x and connected right away.

hi, im not able to connect to the net with my wizard.
i dont have a wireless router so am connecting directly to my laptop, the ad hoc connection i have made works fine for file tranfers, but not for activesync or connecting to the web in either PIE or minimo.
i know activesync isnt possible but surely i should be able to use the broaband from my laptop?
any pointers would be greatly appreciated. software? settings?
its a t-mobile uk vario with qtek test rom.
also anyone know of a remote control utility, i use logmein but would like something a little more menu/macro based for control of media.
cheers

Try turning on Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on your laptop; that'll make your laptop act a bit more like a router, providing NAT services to the Wizard.
yeah i've tried that, and i've just tried bridging connections (dont really know much about that) but that hasnt worked either.

My configuration
Me too, I use ADHOC connection for my WLAN.
PC configuration:
ADSL connection shared
Adress IP:192.168.1.1 Mask:255.255.255.0
PocketPC configuration:
Adress IP:192.168.1.55 Mask:255.255.255.0 Gateway:192.168.1.1
DNS:80.10.246.2 for Wanadoo
Your problem is certainly the DNS.
You can put 192.168.1.1 too.
so it is possible? cool!.......but im still having problems.
i cant figure out how to enter these settings, not to sure where to put them,
iv tried puttin the DNS in the -> connections -> vpn
and -> network cards -> networks adapters -> SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter
sorry to be a pain, but could you point me to where to get each address and where to put them?
also is there anything particular you did to set up the adhoc network? i just used the Windows XP wizard and then ticket the AdHoc option after.
my laptop is conected to the router and the router is connected to aol adsl.
the ip address of my laptop is showing as a simple 10.0.0. number on the LAN but "Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.235.147" for the WLAN
none of my setup has a static ip address, could this be causing the problems?
thanks

It's more hazardous without static adress but it's can work.
My PC has directly access to the Internet with a ADSL modem.
It's here (network cards -> networks adapters -> SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter )
Apparently, it's ok for your PC and the Ad-Hoc mode.
Maybe, you should have your adress IP WLAN on the same network adress of your router.
I GOT IT WORKING!!!
I started again from scratch.
set a new WLAN. added new setup to the vario, added the DNS etc to the vario.
the problem i was having was the way i was sharing the internet connection, i was trying to shared the internet from the wireless to the lan rather than the internet from the lan to the wireless (if that makes sense to anyone!!!). i also ticked all the connection sharing services to allow them, just need to go through them and see which i dont need now.
thanks for the help guys

(its showing my transfer rate as 11Mbps, although i think iv done the G tweak and my laptop says its got a G card. what speeds should i be getting?)
Hello,
Well I hope I'm putting this post in the right place, if not please move it. I have a 8525 with cingular. I need vpn access for my office connection from my laptop. We use a Fortiwifi 60 with the Forticlient software for VPN access. I used it with the old wireless modem settings on my 8525 and it worked with both wap. and isp. I recently upgraded to the new offical rom and used it fine (without trying the VPN access) for a few weeks. I went on my first trip last week and could not connect to the vpn. It would verify PSK and X-AUTH but fails to pull an ip address. I tried it with a static ip and it failed as well. When I check my connection monitor it shows no data coming back from my vpn gateway. I tried it on the hotel's internet and it works fine. I also tried another wifi signal and it worked as well. I changed the media net settings to go through isp instead of wap but that didn't help. Does anyone else have this problem with there VPN settings? I wonder if it is the new type of connection sharing or a change to the Cingualr network? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I had the same problem with another IPsec client with this ROM. For some reason I could not get Internet Connection sharing to work when connected via USB. Bluetooth pan worked. The VPN client was not binding to the ICS/usb adapter. I have since upgraded to WM6...Sleuths ROM...and USB/ICS now works.
Well I tried the phone on another computer and the vpn works just fine. I guess it's something on that computer. Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to try reinstalling the virtual adapter in hopes that it is a binding issue (thanks to tco for that). I'll let you know if I figure it out.
Hi everyone...
I have a touch HD that is not getting anything from the Internet even though it is connected to the wireless network. I was told that this problem started when the new proxy server was implemented and it applies to all windows mobile devices. I have checked the proxy settings and they are right. The Internet works fine at home... it just does nothing at my work.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
By the way... I have tried the solutions mentioned around here - like changing the channel - and nothing works.
Hi,
im facing the same problem and i suspect my WLAN access point. It works on all Wireless unless mine at home. I`m using a Zyxel Router.
Are you using DHCP? The answer from zyxel was to change the ip settings on my HD to static - means manual IP, Gateway and DNS.
It works now for a minute or so but then again dead. Now using data flat from my mobile company.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Nils
Thanks for your reply...
I have tried that.. but I cannot get anything to work...
I will try again... although one solution I want to try is to find a way to share my laptop's connection with my mobile and use it while I am close to it... but wireless connections cannot be share it seems...
anyway, thanks.
sounds more like it's you adhoc wifi on the laptop which is the problem
you have to set it up to work on the laptop for it to ever share with a pda
Actually it connects to the wireless router. There are three access points at work and I have tried to connect to them all. The only difference between these and my home wireless connection is the proxy server at work. I tried every possible solution with no success.
Anyway.. I will try something new when the weekend is over.
Thanks anyway.
OK. So this is how it is:
I got the internet to work by using a fixed IP instead of the dynamic IP assigned to me by the DNS. Once I supplied my username and password I could access the Internet. However, the touchflo interface cannot access it.
Is there a way to configure the HTC touch flo interface to set the proxy for it?
Regards
Can't connect the rooted N2E to my university's wifi that is a proxy sever type.
I've already tried using Proxydroid that helps my HD2 to connect freely.
The users manual clearly states that I can not connect to hotspots that requires to accept terms and conditions or that use proxy servers.
But I wonder that afte I rooted my nook touch this may solve the problem
Does anyone have any solutions? Thx
After searching and trying out several ways to connect my GT to my school's proxy authenticated wifi network I gave up. Then I thought about my ipod touch, registered my wifi mac address with the IT guys and voila it was so easy to configure proxy just my entering user name and password I I can surf.
Now why on earth did android neglect the proxy wifi I have no idea. Furthermore, the adhoc wifi does not also work OTB and will only work if rooted. Why?
I am beginning to regret purchasing android device.....
Hi, what is the specific problem-is it connecting ok to wireless but not authenticating to your web proxy server? apps like asproxy ( http://alsubang.github.com/ASProxy/index.html) should work, but haven't tried it myself....
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I have tried asproxy and it did not work. And yes it connects to the usual hotspots like starbucks. I am also rooted so I am able to connect to adhoc from my nokia phone(joiku hotspot).
I also know some friends who have the 10.1 and the asus transformer and they also cannot connect to the schools proxy. A visit to the IT department confirmed that Android is not supported.
A lot of people in our community are already put off getting an android device because of this.
