cant browse internet through activesync

I have the latest activesync but I cant connect to the internet through pie anymore. I heard there was a reg hack for this but cant find it.
Wifi works fine, but I want it to update my pocketweather whilst its sync'ing other stuff.

when i am at home i have to put my connections on My Isp.. when i am at work due to the firewall i have to use Work Network.. and i can surf just fine through activesync

Depending on what ROM you have, check if it has a proxy setting in your Connections tab.

latest tmobile rom.
has proxy settings, but not set, shouldn't need to.
so no one else has a problem with the latest activesync?

I'm on T-Mobile USA and i'm not having any problems with ActiveSync (Version 4.2) and T-Mobile's latest 2.26 ROM.
Can you post more information about your setup, both PC and MDA? As it could be a configuration issue.

Activesync works fine, syncs all my stuff no probs. Just cant use the internet.
I thought you could just open pie and it would automatically connect?

Can't get to internet using activesync
I can sync, but cannot update pocketweather. Any ideas?

Same problem, internet doesn't work for me at all.
Gosh dunno why I'm having such a hard time with the internet working. On my first 8125 everything went fine, internet work with activesync and wi-fi without setting anything. But now I can't seem to get them to work at all with 2 newer 8125. Try Mr. Clean rom, Molski, summitter, format my computer. None was able to get my internet back? Can anyone tell me what setting did they put inorder to get thier internet thur activiesync and wi-fi.....thou I thought it should just automatically be the same as my comp ADSL ....like before, plug and away I can update weathers and surf net?
Anyone out there, got there internet working smoothly like I had in the first time?

might have the answer, worked for me.
Okay for anyone that is having problems with Internet working thur Activesync, you can try to go into start, setting, connections, usb to pc and uncheck enable advanced network functionality.
And it work for me, yahooooooooooo....

But what about eMail?
I have my TMO MDA set up for a Comcast eMail account. When I go GPRS, the eMail works fine.
But when I use Activesynch and my USB cable, I get "Cannot connect with current connection settings...."
Also, is there ANY way to have eMail give me the full message the first time, rather than requiring be me to click on the full message and reconnect?

I've been having the sync without passthrough for about 2 months now.
Great. When I try to go into "USB To PC" the application basically crashes. Does anyone know the registry edit that would be needed to disable advanced network functionality?
-AnarchE

thanks!
I've had a sync issue and the issue where passthrough internet didn't work for 2 months. This little change fixed both.
Thanks.

Also check Active sync, File -> Connection settings -> this computer is connected to: -> The Internet.
This did the trick for me, now it's updating perfectly.

cant browse IE on kaiser thru active sync connection

aparently i have no COM ports avaible, so i cant browse the internet. im not sure how to fix this, but im also not sure if it's just a problem on my kaiser? when i try to go on the internet it tries to connect to 3G, but i want to use active sync

You want to connect to the internet through your home pc via usb/BT?
You might want to try this.. I'm not SURE, just offering a suggestion.. someone can confirm/bunk this either way..
Start|Settings|Connections|Connections
One of the settings there might work for you,
If not.. theres a Little blue Question mark in the top right that actually has some pretty in depth info..
Sorry I couldnt be of more help, but it's a start.

Is ActiveSync actually working for you? I mean... is your Kaiser synching with your PC?
If activesync is working fine, try this on your PC (not on your Kaiser).
Open Regedit and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services
Create a new DWORD data type called "AllowLSP" and set it to 0
Plug your Kaiser again and let me know if it worked.

if i'm reading right you want to use internet sharing using usb or bluetooth and browse the internet using your PC?? is it?
1.first open setting in your active sync then uncheck allow the usb connection .
2.plug in the usb cable to ur pc and kaiser
3.open the internet sharing in your kaiser end select conection typ usb or bluetooth.
4.connect. (your computer will be installing rds driver automaticcaly)
5.then you'll have a gprs internet trough your pc
note you must have gprs/3g connection available in ur network.
in ur pc in the internet connection option makesure you select direct connection if you use firefox/opera.
Hope this solve your problem.

You are wanting to browse IE on your phone using the Activesync usb or BT connection (phone uses PC's internet connection for data) am I correct in thinking that?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'No comm ports available' as your WM device connects via USB?
Sorry if these steps may seem a bit condecending but best to check all.
1, Has your PC got a working internet connection (can you browse IE on your PC) ?
2, Is Activesync actually working (your contacts and mail are sync'ed) ?
3, In connection settings on Activesync (PC) you need 'Allow wireless connection' unchecked (Checked for tethering, PC goes through phone 3G) or phone will try to go through any data connections of its own first.
4, On your WM device under 'Settings' 'Connections' 'USB to PC, check the 'Enable advanced network functionality'
Hope this helps.

I have a similar query, I can use my PC's internet connection from home, but when I connect to my work PC it does not. Now I know this is down to the fact that my Work PC uses a proxy server, but how do I add this info in to my Tytn2.

Hi Farsquidge,
I have followed your steps above, but when I try to connect to IE on my device, I get the message "The current connection cannot be used for your request. Please end the current connection and try again."
Any ideas?
Also, many thanks for the widespread advice you have given throughout the fora - it has really helped me get the most of out of my TyTN2!

Your welcome.
Is your device an 'out of the box' HTC device that was not bound to a carrier contract? Some carrier (ie. AT&T Vodaphone) seem to have settings within the ROM (seen in other threads) that tie you in to only using their settings (ie Media.net) and using a proxy that cannot be changed for IE only for GPRS connections.
Anyone got ideas on this one.

Unfortunately, Orange UK got their hands on my TyTN2 before I did! Perhaps that's the source of my problems?

Are Orange UK (I am from UK but living abroad now) still wanting to promote their own Internet?
I know only last year a pal of mine said he could not connect his Nokia through his home WiFi because it would not connect via his BT Internet.
Check if you have a proxy connection set up on your GPRS cause ya never know!!!

I can connect to any Wifi network and access webpages without problems. Doesn't seem that there are any restrictions from that point of view. Thanks for the help - guess it's not really a problem not having Internet access via ActiveSync, as it connects to the Wifi network.

i guess i shoulda been more specific.
i wanted to browse the internet on my kaiser, using the active sync connection. however it wasnt working, but now ive re-installed opera and it works with that, not sure if it works with IE yet.

installed Opera and still no hope.

my tytn II is out of the box, not on any contract with an operator. can any one please help me..

Can you access the internet when connected via ActiveSync?

With my trusty old Ipaq 5550 i could, but for some reason i cant with my Kaiser.
I had a look in the manual but couldnt find this.
Any tips?

It should work automatically.
Perhaps in your comm manager, active sync is greyed out and needs to be enabled.
Or perhaps in your configuration screen: connections tab, usb on pc (or sometinglike that), you can (un)check a box about advanced network connectivity.

yes for me work You must change in Connections->Advanced->Select network first field where you have your ISP to My Work Network.

EXACTLY.
Mine was checked, once i UNchecked it. I had internet conectivity.

I have all default and CHECKED use advanced network functionality and it works fine, even when syncing over bluetooth I can get to the internet through ActiveSync

Thanks, been wanting to do this for ages.
Now I have got it working.

Okay, this is a long message but I have had a unique problem in which I had to fiddle with activesync and my PDA for several days to figure it out. So in case this is your problem look here.
Scenario:
At my work we have a proxy server. When i connect my phone to my computer, even though activesync and my PDA are set to connect properly neither my phone nor my computers internet works. I fooled with this, posted on the forums and finally found a way to fix it.
Steps:
1)Change your PDA's advanced network settings in the network management area to BOTH be "mywork network". Do this before plugging in to activesync.
2)load an internet page with streaming content, or constantly refresh a web page if your work blocks all sites!
3)Ensure that your activesync is set to connect to the "work network".
4)Plug in your phone (be sure that data is still streaming on your desktop, if an active connection isn't streaming on your desktop Windows uses logarithms to decide which connection to use as an internet source).
5)Let activesync load and syncronize. Once it is syncronized, go back to your pda's network management page and change the two options BACK to MEdia Net or whatever data service you use on your cell phone. NOTE: Be sure that media is streaming all the way until you change your PDA's options BACK to the proper internet source for your phone and test it by loading a web page. Once the phone is set as it's own internet source and the desktop still has it's active LAN connection you should be golden.
I know you shouldn't have to do this but at least with my works network and their proxy server if i don't do it this way i will NEVER be able to use the internet on either device.
The reason for this is because of Microsoft's crappy network capabilities. In activesync 4.0 + they made activesync use an actual network connection, you can view it via the network connection page. So with some networks (not all) it tries to use your phones connection as the active internet network and vice versa at times.
Hope this helps somebody out there as this drove me nuts!
So far i'm the only person that has had the problem (on this forum, at least that has responded to my threads). But i'm sure there are a couple other people that have annoying problems with their work and activesync.
Thanks,
Luke

Thanks a lot alaiwy, worked just fine for me!

For the AT&T Tilt & AT&T ROM's you also need to disable the Proxy.

TY I was looking for this finally becuase that was getting very annoying as hell to me.

Preventing tilt from getting proxy settings on sync

Everytime I connect Tilt to my computer for syncing, it syncs the IE proxy settings and puts them on my Tilt.
It's really annoying like hell, since after every sync I have to disable the proxy server for MediaNET.
Is there any way to prevent Tilt from getting proxy server settings from the PC?
To Overzealous Protectors of Thread Creation (OPTC) - I did a search, didn't find an answer. So sue me.

I must be stupid, cuz I can't for the life of me understand how the proxy settings can sync between your pc and Tilt.

Yep, weird huh?
I delete any proxy settings from my Tilt.
My PC has proxy setting for my work proxy server.. address, port, exclusions, all that stuff.
I connect Tilt.
It syncs.
I disconnect Tilt from PC, check my MediaNET settings - all my PC's proxy settings are in there.
That happens consistently with every ROM I tried (6.0, 6.1 doesn't matter).
If I delete proxy settings from IE - then Tilt will remain w/o a proxy.

Could this have anything to do with an Exchange Server email account your using for work?

Nope, my personal laptop doesn't have exchange set up on it and that's the laptop I sync Tilt with.
It must be somewhere in activesync/mobile device center where it syncs IE's proxy settings to device's proxy settings. How lame that is.

I have the same problem. Every time I sync to my work computer, my Tilt gets the corporate proxy settings.
This a royal pain because then my TomTom Navigator software can't get traffic updates. Then I am trying to change proxy settings WHILE I'm driving.
So if you see a car pulled over on the shoulder of the road, it might just be a Tilt user fixing his/her phone.

no you're not alone
I noticed I couldn't get data after I had synced with my office computer. After I saw the correlation I went into the connection settings and in the phone it was changed to use a proxy server, "GWS." Eventually I realized that it was grabbing my computer's pseudo-proxy server settings for the Google Web Server which my computer runs to use the Google Web Accelerator. I couldn't figure out how to stop this so I ended up uninstalling it. Luckily I don't need it unlike you who may need real proxy settings. Amazing how little quality control Microsoft does before they release a lot of their software.
I suppose judging by how few people are complaining about this proxy grabbing problem that it could be ROM-specific - I'm running Dutty's WM6.1 19588 build, latest version of Activesync.

It's not ROM specific, not unless all 5-7 ROMs that I've tried all have that problem.

My phone is still has the standard ROM that it came with. No mods what so ever.

i can confirm three things:
1. it's happening to me everytime too
2. it's a major pain in the ass!
3. it's a major pain in the ass!

This happens to me as well, however it is removing the proxy settings.... We use WPAD so the checkbox 'Automatically detect settings' is checked on the PC I sync my Kaiser with. I manually set the proxy on the Kaiser and every time I sync it with my PC it removes the setting for HTTP, it does however leave the SOCKS settings
Andy

It's not a kaiser specific problem... as it also happend to me with wm5 and wm2003se devices.
Which is a pain, but i just change the settings back after i sync

I have this problem too I have searched and searched and never found a solution to "fix" the problem. So here is what I do to reduce my effort to restore my settings after they get screwed up while sync'ing.
I have created a dummy network called office. I switch to this (settings ->Connection -> Select network) before connecting the phone to the PC. And switch it back after disconnecting them from the PC. I kept doing this for a while and admittedly this is pain to remember to do it without a miss each time. and if I did miss then you have to go and restore the proxy settings anyway. Then I found this small tool called "MObile Profiler" somewhere on freewareppc.com - it lets to create multiple profiles that store all your network settings with different names and with one keystroke restore teh settings from the stored profiles. I still have to remember to switch each time but if I do forget sometimes - I can simply restore all the settings from the saved profile in a single key stroke instead of having to go into settings and painfully typing in all the correct settings.
So not a solution to the problem but a way to save some labor in restoring the status back

Right click Activesync in task tray, Connection Settings. Change "This computer is connected to:" to WORK NETWORK. If its on Auto, or The Internet, it pulls the proxy from IE so it can get to "The Internet"!

yes but in that case, you also cannot access the internet from the phone while it is connected to the PC. One might question why you needs to have internet accessible from the phone when obvisously you are sitting next to a PC. But I need to do that - for example to have the Weather forecast and currency rates automatically updated (during activesync) in the Worldmate Pro software that I use. Or look at mail from my personal gmail account on the phone which I dont want to access from my office PC. For all that it is necessary to set the connection settings to Automatic!!!

I have an HTC polaris, same problem, using official wm6.1 updated HTC rom.
Happened on stock WM6.0 rom as well. Also happened on previous devices.
Every time I plug my phone in at work it inherits the corporate proxy settings.
Haven't found a fix for this, it's a big F'n pain in the ass though, because every time I unplug the phone I have to go in there and edit out that proxy box..every single day
What I really want to know is why more people haven't come forward saying that this is a problem...Why is it only affecting a small portion of people? I'm sure alot of peoples' work use proxy servers.

Yup, exactly. Can't believe windows mobile is designed by Microsoft yet it has problems like this...really makes you wonder just how much work went into this stupid OS. The only thing I can think of to fix this is to make a program to modify the registry on your phone every time you sync it with the PC to remove this god damn reg setting that contains the proxy server from the MediaNET connection.

I have Excalibur (HTC-S620) and Kaiser. This trick fixes problem in Excalibur, but not in Kaiser :-(.

Found solutions. Just unckeck "Allow wireless connection on device .... " and also set "This computer is connected to" to "Work Network" in Active Sync -> File -> Connection settings on your desktop.

Hello, just wondering whether anyone has made any progress in solving this problem?
When i enter my work proxy manually into the WM device, after a while it disappears again, and my WM device no longer has any internet connectivity. Then when i add it again, after a while it's gone.
Have had this problem for years on numerous devices. Seems like there are no real fixes?

wmwifirouter help

Hey so I installed this software and am trying to get tethering running before I get on that wifi-less train tomorrow back home.
It seems to "work" as in it creates the 3G to wifi connection via ad-hoc access point which my macbook can connect to fine - but I cannot access the internet from the laptop.
I tried 3G to usb and it just sits at "waiting for connection". I have synced up my Fuze to the macbook via usb via missing sync so I know the usb connection does "work".
I had it point to both medianet and a new gprs connection I created pointing to nothing (no user/pass/etc) and it connects to both but nada on the macbook end.
I should add I did delete the Forcecellconnection reg entry.
Any ideas?
thx

The reason for this is because AT&T has coded a registry key that only allows the ISP.CINGULAR apn do teathering. I am using another ROM so that has been removed but the registry key that you should remove to enable this is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings\ForceCellConnection
just make sure to reboot the phone once you delete the key.

as stated above, the registry key was removed before the problems.

Sorry, I should have read the complete post before. I have not been able to teather to my mac but i have read that it works with bluetooth although I havent tried it yet.

I've been struggling with it as well and I had the impression that the software doesnt behave properly as a DHCP server. Meaning your laptop is not getting an IP address from your phone.
I also note that after you install this program it uses a fixed IP address for the wireless lan card, which results in not being able to access any other wireless access point when you're done using wmwifirouter. So I gave up and am waiting for a newer version where this might work all a bit more intuitive.

wmwifirouter works perfectly with my macbook/ipod. Did you keep all the default settings? (i did)

yes i did - didnt work.
I loaded up vista on boot camp and i can get internet sharing to work there.. weird.
I am going to try a few custom ROMs and see if that helps at all - will report back.
thx!

welli tried notatreofanand da-gs roms and they both work in vista but still no go for leopard...
i cant figure out why it connects via usb fine in windows but osx doesnt ever want to connect with this or internet sharig?
i know the phone can sync n connect via usb since The Missing Sync can connect and even transfer files and such.
any other ideas?
