Hi
Microsoft has an automatic fix for the CONNECTION ERROR ' We can't create a connection from your phone to the internet. You can still sync content between your computer and your phone'
FIX IT
Worked for me the First Time

Hi all,
No luck at all with the WM5 and syncing. There seems to be an issue with Virtual PC and the DNS connection, though none of the fixes work. The instructions on microsoft's page are written by microsoft (ie useless).
I've switched the phone back and forth between "server-assigned IP address" (which never works even though it displays an address), and "Use specific IP address" which also doesn't work.
On the PC (running XP), I get an "Error 10 - device won't start" error in the Add new Hardware troubleshooter.
In the Network connection troubleshooter, it says it cannot detect the DNS server.
I don't know if the wireless is interfering. I've spent a week on it and it still won't work.
Please help.

Update
It seems the DNS problem is now solved - the virtual PC can connect to the internet.
Now all I need is for the phone to install. I keep getting install errors (#10 - the device won't start).
Any ideas?

Strange issue with my Tilt... when my apps try to connect to the internet using MEdiaNet they just close out... when I use them on a wifi connection they work with no issues.... Internet connection sharing also works fine when I tether to my laptop....
Currently using ROMeOS 3.5
Any ideas?
---UPDATE----------
After a hard reset this is the current status-
Apps are no longer closing out but some are getting a "cannot connect with current connection settings" message
PIE- connects with no issues
Google Maps- connects with no issues
Internet Connection Sharing- connects with no issues
Skyfire- Does not work... keeps on checking for flight mode
Email- Does not work- "cannot connect with current connection settings" message
is
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
set to my isp or whatever your device have named the gprs settings profile
if not change it so it is
Also if you have at&t go to start/settings/connections/connections. You should see MEdia Net with options underneath and My Work Network with options underneath it. Underneath MEdia Net, click the option set up my proxy server. Disable the option that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet." Hope this helps
I started having the same problem the other day. My pocket outlook will not connect using Media Net, I get the "Cannot connect with current settings" message. i didn't change anything before this started and I have tried all of the above suggestions. Does any one have any other suggestions? I will do a Hard reset only as a last resort. Thanx
For some reason I dont seem to be able to browse web via my mobile browser while device is connected to Activesync (USB cable)
I've checked Allow Wireless Connection and disabled high speed syncing in Conenctions USB>PC on my Xperia.
This affects email and internet data connections and apps. In internet explorer and IRIS I get a 403 error.
I have activesync as "Computer connects to Work Network"
When I disconnect from Activesync I can browse as normal.
Having gone through the usual suspects and done a search I can't seem to find anything that addresses this particular iteration of the 403 error so would gratefully accept any suggest
You don't need the "Allow Wireless Connection when connected to the desktop" ticked. (Unless you want to use WiFi on the X1 while plugged in via ActiveSync).
My ActiveSync "This computer connects to" is set to "The internet", not Work Internet.
Allow USB connections.
On the X1,
Got to Settings, Connections Tab, USB to PC.
Make sure ActiveSync (Sync with outlook) is selected, then make sure "Enable advanced network functionality" it ticked.
cheers for your reply Steve. (good collection of apps too)
These are all options I've tried already (think I've tried every combi) and I end up with the same result - as i get not data connection when i connect the USB. If I open IE or IRIS beforehand and then connect as soon as I browse a new page I get the 403.
I'm sure this didnt happen last time I tried to browse this way but have no idea what could have changed. I thought it could be a connection settings thing - IRIS has loads of options for connections and I've tried all of this, all unsuccessfully. IE doesn't appear to have any options.
Anyone know of any tweaks or reg fixes?
duplicate post
one other thing - if I go to conenction amanger and try to activate Data connection while conencted to activesync, I get sent to the Settings > Connections screen. Data connection will not activate.
I can't offer anymore help Don't know what's up with yours.
cheers anyway steve. gonna wager on a reinstall of activesync and also try on my home pc to see if this is any different.
I know GP can block using device as modem/internet sharing, but this would be different so who knows?
interestingly I've just discovered that I'm still receiving emails when this problem occurs. I wonder if something could be preventing http requests?
just to recap, this works when synced with my home PC, but when synced with my works PC I can't access http via 3g/hsdpa, nor through the PC. I can however receive emails.
As the attachment shows, the phone is connected to the HSDPA and Activesync via USB.
I've reinstalled Activesync on this PC, and experienced an intermittent connection following this - however following this short period of activity the connection halted again.
Every once and a while I'll get this error, but then out of the blue it will connect and I won't have any problems with it for good period of time.
Seems when I connect to Active Sync it messes with my connection settings and then it'll give me the "Error Synchronizing" message.
Then it pops up with "Cannot connect with current connection settings"
it could be a E/2g/3g thing (if you are in the US). At home I only get E if I'm lucky and I cannot sync with the same error. But as soon as I leave I can connect with no issue. Sorry if this is no help and good luck
Hi my english is poor, but i hope that you will understand me
The problem is: When you try login in skype you have a message: "Unable connect to skype server. Check your internet connection".
Solution: The first time login to skype with GPRS/3G connection wait until you see all your contacts....
And after that exit with "Quit" not with "Log Out"...
the next times you will can login to skype with WIFI or Active Sync..
I think, that problem is, because Skype use same connection protokols with 802.1 Active Sync, wifi and when you try to connect with 3g/gprs he don`t use these protokols and no problem with login. Skype servers structure is like this...
this is a simple explanation....
Have a FUN
