GPRS Internet Connection with O2 - UK - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I have got my GPRS internet connection working after the upgrade (it wiped my settings )
However it is so very tediously slow (1Kbps per ten seconds)... can someone confirm that under WM5 the settings for an XDA IIs on O2 are as follows...
GPRS Settings - PAP Authentication and Class 10 slot
My modem should be Cellular (GPRS)
My AP is mobile.o2.uk
The ID/Pass is mobileweb/password
I have slip, software compression, and IP header compression unticked
My proxy (which I use for internet connectivity) is 193.113.200.95 on port 80
Can anyone confirm this? Or have had a similar problem after the upgrade?

Further update
Just to let you know...
Leave the proxy and DNS settings empty as forcing the IP addresses rather than those supplied by DHCP slows down your browsing experience.
So just add the AP and User ID and Password all supplied in the first post and your going!

Using ATT iPhone SIM on Kaiser email problem

I am having a problem reading my POP3 email.
The Kaiser configured itself to ATT (with the iPhone SIM) and the connection appears as MEdia Net
Connection to the Internet (Explorer) Works OK and I get the H connection. I am in Los Angeles.
However when attempting to read my email (Shows 3G) I get a "cannot connect with current connection setting" and gives me the option of going to Connections settings Where I get MediaNet or My Work Network. (It is set to go to MediaNet I believe)
I know the POP3 settings are correct as they work great via WiFi.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
yes change medianet to My Isp wap.cingular settings and everything will be fine.
the settings are:
wap.cingular
username: WAP.CINGULARGPRS.COM
password: cingular1
THANK YOU.
My ISP connection was auto set by the Kaiser to
isp.cingular
username: ISP.CINGULARGPRS.COM
Per your suggestion I changed ISP to WAP and all seems well
Thanks again

Help with internet sharing/tethering on Vista

OK so I thought I was halfway intelligent about all this but apparently not. I can't seem to get my internet sharing to allow me to tether on my new Tilt. I had it working fine on my Sprint Mogul so I know theoretically how to do it. I have the stock AT&T ROM (allowed customizations; just lazy about figuring out what I'd need of the customizations so I live with the bloat).
I created a shortcut for IntShrUI.exe in my \windows\start menu\programs folder to start the internet shar. I start Internet sharing and select USB and AT&T ISP GPRS (or MEdia Net; same result). It says connected and doesn't give me any errors but I can't seem to connect to anything from my PC or even ping anything. I'm using a Windows Vista PC. While internet sharing is connected I can connect to the web on the phone itself but not from the PC.
I was originally on "PDA Personal Max UNL + 1500 Messages" but I couldn't seem to connect to ISP.CINGULAR and I thought maybe that's why I couldn't tether (and I thought it'd probably prevent me from connecting to my corporate VPN). So I called in and the tech guy said that plan isn't provisioned for ISP.CINGULAR so he switched me to the "older" (his words) PDACnctUntlAdd which is the same price and includes ISP.CINGULAR but not 1500 messages. In hindsight I'm guessing that's not my problem (especially since it didn't fix it) and I'll prob go back to PDA Personal Max with the 1500 messages once I figure out the tethering and assuming it allows me to VPN.
My settings are:
AT&T ISP GPRS
Modem:
APN: isp.cingular
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1 (doesn't show it but found that online)
Domain: blank
Advanced Settings:
TCP/IP: Use server-assigned IP Address
Use software compression: not checked
Use IP header compression: not checked
Servers: User server-assigned IP Address
Proxy Settings:
This network connects to the Internet: checked
This networks uses a proxy....: not checked
MEdia Net
Modem:
APN: wap.cingular
Username: [email protected]
Password: ????? (doesn't show it and never looked for online)
Domain: blank
Advanced Settings:
TCP/IP: Use server-assigned IP Address
Use software compression: not checked
Use IP header compression: not checked
Servers: User server-assigned IP Address
Proxy Settings:
This network connects to the Internet: checked
This networks uses a proxy....: not checked
I've tried to do it with the proxy disabled (running Disable Proxy from programs) and with it enabled with the same result.
So what can I be doing wrong? I'm sure it's something supremely stupid (if it's not a provisioning problem but how could it be that?) but I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Any help greatly appreciated and let me know if there's anything else you'd need to know to get this working.

So your device says connected (and can surf the web) but your laptop wont connect?
So is your laptops firewall blocking the network?
Have you tried it over bluetooth, and use the BT PAN option. Select BT in ICS and click connect, and click YES to allow it to be discoverable, then in Vista, click start, connect to, Then click Set up a network or connection. Then scroll down to the bottom option (BT PAN). Click it and it will offer your device's BT PAN, select that and click connect.
Wait for 30 seconds, then open the web.
Solution from ATT-Connect your Laptop/PDA
Here ya go! Tried it myself with the usb. Workin good-ATT has a comm manager app that installs on the laptop.
Here's the link to the ATT support for it.

Thanks for your help; hadn't thought of turning off firewall since it worked with the mogul without doing that. Tried that and it didn't work. Then tried with bluetooth and that didn't work either. Didn't want to use the ATT comm manager on the off chance that they could track tethering usage on it.
And of course it was a stupid thing not to check but something made me try connecting to an IP address and not a URL and BAM! it worked. So I guess I have a DNS problem and not a connection problem.
So now anyone have an idea why the laptop can't resolve DNS but the Tilt can? Should I manually set free public DNS servers on the Tilt? Or on the laptop?
Vista you said? correct?
Try making the network that Vista sees when you connect-private; if it's public,it'll block stuff
Yeah, it's already set to private. Still no DNS resolution. I'm going to try using a free public DNS server on the PC. Strange that the Tilt isn't passing thru DNS for me but it seems it is for everyone else.
Well using the free DNS servers (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) seems to work now and it even seems to resolve DNS faster. I feel better that I figured out how to get it to work but I'm definitely confused as to why it doesn't work by default like it does for everyone else.
get tethering working yet?
hi,
i have the same issue. have unlimited data plan on my tilt. no problem with connection on my tilt (although i did not put in all that proxy setting crap att asks you to put in).
anyhow
- installed the htc modem driver on my laptop.
- turned on the modem on the tilt
- created a new dialup connection on my xp laptop
---> question here, what is the "phone number" that should be dialed???
--> for [email protected], password is CINGULAR1 also
as a last resort i will try using the att comm manager, but like you i don't really want to do it due to any tracking att may be doing...
would be great to hear if loading that local dns resolves your problem, altho it seems kinda clugey (sp?)
lol-
ya'all kill me.
Anything at all,including data; going through any major network in the U.S., is tracked- period. Cell calls,data,internet connections, and even landline calls are ALL tracked in the U.S. now. Thanks to the current administration, EVERYTHING is tracked.
Alemaker
I meant tracked in terms of tethered vs non-tethered (not being on a tethered plan; but then I tether about once a month when travelling in airports if that so I'm not worried about it). I know big brother is always watching (especially on AT&T):

@jprai I did get tethering working by just changing my DNS settings on the laptop to free servers. I'm not using wireless modem but the Internet Sharing app on the PocketPC (go to \Windows and copy the shortcut "internet sharing.lnk" to your \Windows\Start Menu\Programs directory and then you'll be able to start the app easily). It's much easier to use (well now that the DNS issue was figured out).
I'm still very curious why DNS isn't working for me with the default settings and it does for everyone else but I'm OK with this work-around for the time being.

This did the trick for me, thanks!
For those not fully aware of how to do this, connect your phone with ICS, go to network connections (control panel->network and sharing center->manage network connections), right click on the phone's connection (hover over them if you're not sure about which is which... mine said NDIS something or other), go to properties, click on TCP/IPv4, go to properties, and then give it the DNS addresses listed above.
Thanks!

Wing, WiFi and http proxies

Folks,
I have a US TMobile Wing, WM6, and I am having problems with WiFi connections that use proxies. At work, we use a corporate HTTP proxy to access the internet.
The wing settings are as follows, WiFi connects to work, My Work Network has the proxy server set in the Advanced tab. I have been looking in the registry of the device (under HKLM\Comm\ConnManager\Providers\{7C4B...}), and as soon as the WiFI connects, the HTTP proxy I set gets marked as a null proxy (type 0). When the WiFi disconnects, the proxy entry in the registry is returned to its original type 1 (HTTP).
Anyone has any idea what I can do to prevent the proxy from being changed by the WiFi application? Is there a way to get hold of the WiFi connection application from a WM5 device to try it out?
Thanks in advance

connecting to two APN on the same time ?

I'm connected to Orange Israel cellular network. Orange got 2 APN for 3G connection. The first "uinternet" in open internet connection and the second "uwap.orange.co.il" is connection to Orange WAP network and to the internet through a proxy (port 80 only).
I got both APN defined the internet in the MY ISP connections and the wap in the My Work Network with the proxy setup.
On my previous device (HTC TyTN) with the official HTC ROM i was able to connect to both APN on the same time, having wap connection for the Exchange push mail and MMS while the internet connection used for a POP3 and iMap4 accounts.
Since switching to the Kaiser I can't connect to both on the same time, and if I send a MMS the device tries to switch to the wap connection and keep disconnecting due to the Exchange and Live push email keep reconnecting the internet connection.
Due anyone know how can I connect to both APNs and if not what is require to do (beside disabling the push email) to enable the APN switching ?

Strange Internet Behavior

I have an ATT Fuze that I unlocked. I use in Canada and have a Rogers wireless SIM and an ATT SIM. Got the internet configs for Canada, and I am able to synch my exchange email, browse internet on opera, but get time outs in IE. I am guessing that IE remains configured to my MEdia Net configuration or there is some hidden mis config'd proxy, but that is really a guess.
Here is my config:
Created new network profile "Rogers"
networkproxy settings tab has set to connect to internet
proxy server is unchecked
Created a connection "My Connection"
Modem is set to Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: internet.com
User name: wapuser1
Password: wap
no domain
no advanced settings
When I use my ATT sim in the states, all is well. I change SIMS and my profile when in Canada and get the behavior I described above.
What is interesting is that the first time I used this Fuze in Canada after the unlock I had only email connectivity - No Opera or IE. I applied the "Beat the Bloat" steps and gained Opera connectivity, but IE still no worky! Any suggestions or ideas?
Resolved
Found the fix. All is well!
