Hi , from modaco's forum , here's the trick:
Desktop PC settings (Control Panel):
1. Enter Network Connections
2. Create a new connection
3. Select 'Set up an advanced connection', click next
4. Select 'Accept incoming connections', click next
5. Click next on 'connection devices' screen
6. Check 'Allow incoming VPN connections', click next
7. Select all users which will be using this account
PPC settings:
1. Go to Settings/Connections/Connections
2. Select 'ADD A NEW VPN SERVER CONNECTION'
3. Enter the IP Address of your PC or its network name, select IPSec/L2TP and click next
4. Choose 'A pre-shared key' and enter some number combination (ex: 123456)
5. Enter user and password of desktop computer.
6. You're finished, enjoy!
Note: in case you have a firewall installed on the computer, you will need to change Activesync rules in firewall settings to allow connections to all IP addresses to default 169.254.2.2 address.
Pay attention that your PPC is setup as MY ISP/Work in CONNECTION settings
(haven't tried yet :? !)
AT&T Tilt won't connect to GPRShttp://forum.xda-developers.com/newthread.php?do=newth
I've been having problems getting my unlocked AT&T Tilt to connect to T-Mobile's GPRS data network. I've done the necessary connections setups, including entering the proxy server settings (216.155.165.050:8080, etc) as well as running the disablehiddenproxy .cab in the Windows folder, but it just won't connect. And, when it appears to have connected, I can't access any websites. Every attempt simply ends up with an error message with something like 0x8008000. Google Maps won't work either, so the issue isn't limited to PIE.
I've entered the same settings on multiple phones in the past, including two HTC phones (Dash and Wing), so I know I didn't mess up on any obvious settings. I don't know what could be wrong. Has anyone experienced this before, and if so, what did you do to fix it?
Thanks.
Anyone? So far still no dice. WiFi works, though, which I guess is something...
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I got it. Apparently I needed to clear the SOCKS proxy setting. It's news to me, as I didn't need to do that before on either the Dash or the Wing.
Anyway, if anyone else is having the same problem, here are the instructions (specific to the proxy settings) I found and followed to get it working:
Go to set up proxy server
Check box that says “this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet”
In the proxy server type 216.155.165.50 (you might want to highlight and copy because you will be using this setting 3 more times)
Tap advanced
Tap HTTP (if the server is not filled out paste the proxy settings in the step above in the server box) and change port from 80 to 8080 then hit ok.
Tap WAP and paste or type the same proxy server (216.155.165.50). The port should automatically say 9201. Leave this as is, then hit ok
Tap secure wap and paste or type in the server settings from the last 2 steps. The port should say 9203. Leave as is as well and hit ok
Tap Socks and clear the server setting. The port should go away. Hit ok, and you're done.
I need some advice on how to get my web and MMS working on my diamond. I originally bought a new Sprint Diamond. I took it to Metro PCS and had it flashed to their network. Now my voice and text work. So I'm trying to get my web and MMS working. I changed my ROM to Juicy 4.3 and tried following a tutorial found here:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448955
I tried everything exactly like it said there, and it is not working. Here is my exact settings and changes that I made:
1: Check your Windows\startup folder for "HTC_CM_Guardian.lnk", which is a shortcut to Windows\HTC_CM_Guardian.exe. If the shortcut exists delete it. If not then you probably have a newer Sprint ROM which doesn't have the shortcut to launch that application. It is still launching it in some other way however and I have not been able to figure it out from searching forums and the web. The general consensus is to replace the file with a dummy file that I've attached (extract from the zip). Download the attached file and replace "Windows\HTC_CM_Guardian.exe" with the dummy file which will prevent it from running.
I checked my windows folder, but I'm using Juicy 4.3 and I think that this file is not included in the ROM. In any case, it is not there.
2: Rename the following files and folders:
Windows\iota.exe ---> windows\iotaOLD.exe
Windows\iotaconf.txt ---> windows\iotaconfgOLD.txt
Program Files\IOTA ---> Program Files\IOTAOLD
Once again, these files are not in my windows folder. I'm not sure what effect these files have on my connection, but I was unable to edit them.
3: Open your phone and enter ##778#, select "EDIT" and enter your unlock code.
I did this with no problem. My unlock code was just 000000.
4: Set the following values:
M.IP Settings:
MIP_MODE = Simple IP Only
M.IP Default Profile:
NAI = [email protected]
Home Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Primary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Secondary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Security:
HDR AN AUTH User Id = [email protected]
PPP USER ID = [email protected]
PPP PASSWORD = metropcs
My number is 972-781-8284, so I used the following:
M.IP Settings:
MIP_MODE = Simple IP Only
M.IP Default Profile:
NAI = 9[email protected]
Home Address = 0.0.0.0 (set to 0.0.0.0)
Primary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (set to 0.0.0.0)
Secondary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (set to 0.0.0.0)
Security:
HDR AN AUTH User Id = [email protected]
PPP USER ID = [email protected]
PPP PASSWORD = set to metropcs
5: Goto Connections and delete any existing connections and setup a new one using the following settings:
Number to dial = #777
Username: [email protected]
Password: metropcs
Domain: (Leave Blank)
Select Proxy Settings and enter the following values:
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (http)
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (wap)
wap.metropcs.net port:443 (secure wap)
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (socks)
I changed my settings to this:
Number to dial = #777
Username: [email protected]
Password: metropcs
Domain: (Left Blank)
I set my proxies to the following values:
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (http)
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (wap)
wap.metropcs.net port:443 (secure wap)
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (socks)
So I click on the new connection and select the "Connect" option. It tries to connect and then it says that my username and password is wrong for #777. I try to go on the web and it won't connect. Also, when I go back and look at the connection, it deletes what I entered for the http option in the proxy settings. The other 3 settings are still there (wap, secure wap, and socks).
I'm not sure what else to try. I used the *228 option and updated my PRL firmware. It still doesn't let me connect. Please help!!!
Ok, I've got an update. I was able to connect to the web last night by changing the password in the tutorial to "mymetropcs". I changed it in the connection settings and also in the PP Security Settings.
Here is my current problem... My connection won't stay connected. It will sometimes connect for a little while, and then spontaneously disconnect. Most of the time, it won't connect at all. It gives me an error and says that my username or password is invalid. Also, It will sometimes delete my HTML Proxy settings that I entered in Connections. Does anyone know what is causing this and how I can fix it?
Confirmed
Followed all the steps and works perfectly ...
The only difference I had was my password and I used the last 4 numbers of my cell.
Thanks for the info.

Quick question, In my startup folder I do see a HTC CM Guadian but I do not know if its a .lnk or .exe? And if so I need to delete if its a lnk right? Under Windows folder i also have the same thing and do not know if its the .lnk or .exe? And I do not have the Iota files. Please help thank you!!

"Torrent Buddy is a client application which run on windows phone and communicate with your uTorrent client/webserver running on your PC. This is pretty handy to look at the status of your torrents and control them as needed. What’s unique about Torrent Buddy compared to other apps on market place is that it lets you add new torrents from any website and RSS feeds. Not only that, it also allows you to add torrent from sites which require authentication by adding your own cookie information."
The Trial version will support everything except adding new torrents
you can get it from the market place.
I am nothing to do with this app It just taken me ages to get it set up so thought I would help in case anyone else needed it
OK so I thought I would write up a little tutorial on how to set this app up, as the only info i could find was on this site(the creates of the app)
OK so I found the easiest way of doing this guys was like this (my pc is connected via wifi)
1.give yourself a static ip=
start>control panel>network connections>right click you’re wireless connection>properties>
2.on the General Tab there is a box you can scroll down to, got to Internet protocol(TCP/IP)click on it and click properties
3.use the following IP Address example
IP. = 192.168.1.3
subnet = 255.255.255.0
Deafult gateway = (mine was) 192.168.1.1
DNS server (mine was) 192.168.1.1
click ok to save then ok
4. log in to you’re router(mine is Netgear so 192.168.1.1)
5.go to port forwarding
6.create new port forward
Service Name = Torrent Buddy
Service Type = TCP/UDP
Starting Port = chose a port
Ending Port = chose a port
Server IP Address (you’re static address)
save and log out you’re router
7.uTorrent setup – In uTorrent, go to options->Preferences->Web UI, Select “Enable Web UI” check mark. Enter a username and password and keep not of the connectivity port. This is what you will need to connect from torrent buddy (Select the check box and enter the port you chose for port forwarding).
Go to http://portforward.com/ and it will show you you’re IP.
fire up torrent buddy and open connections menu
9.Friendly name = whatever you want
Server name = http://yourIP:the port you chose
username = the same you chose for the settings in Utorrent
Password = as above
save
10.click the connection you created and press the tick box if you did everything ok then it should go back to the main screen and connect and then you can watch you’re torrents.
Hope this helps

Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note - NOT ROOTED
1st time using Android
I may be posting similar problem that user may have face, but I tried to search for the same case and i not getting any result.
So my case is explained below
The problem:
I can connect to secured wifi network at my home and other wifi spots without a problem. But I can't connect to my office open wifi network at all. With my ipod touch,blackberry and even old nokia e72, it was a breeze to get internet access at office. After being connected to wifi, I have to go to web browser...then, it should automatically redirect me to Wifi Authentication Login page. It's not happening with my Galaxy Note android devices and is working just fine on my ipod touch.
my android devices would show signal quality as "Excellent". whenever i go to web browser, it doesn't redirect me to authentication page. instead, the connection page would time out.
I 've tried these:
-Clearing Cache.
-Factory resetting.
-Using other browsers, Dolphin,Firefox, etc.
-Apps on Android Market(Wifi Login, Wifi--etc etc.)
Does anybody have this kind of issues??? I think this is a BIG FLAW with Android OS. Need to find a fix if there is one out there
Any takers on this tread? Please do advise if you have the answer
there used to be an authentication based WiFi service in my previous work place and I could easily log in using opera mobile on my galaxy note to first log in and then browse
IAM not sure if this will help
...
try opera mobile instead of stock browser and in settings change your client to desktop
good luck
The solution!!!
Hi everyone! I've almost torn my hair out the last two weeks trying to figure out this problem. and I've found it!
It is a DNS problem.... you need to use OpenDNS or Google DNS and set it manually in your WIFI settings. Then the login page will appear now when you connect and you'll have internet. Here's how:
To change DNS settings and connect to our system from Android 2.3 device you can do following:
1. "Settings"
2. "Wireless and Networks"
3. "Wi-Fi settings"
4. Menu > "Advanced"
5. Use static IP
6. Copy current IP address (few lines above) to IP address field
7. Set Gateway as router IP (usually the same as current IP except last number is .1, i.e. if your phone IP 192.168.2.130 then router's likely 192.168.2.1)
8. Set Netmask 255.255.255.0 (sometimes it's different, but you should already know what to do if it is)
9. Set DNS 1 and DNS 2 fields as per table below (these are Google DNS values):
DNS 1 8.8.8.8
DNS 2 8.8.4.4
10. Menu > "Save"
11. Restart your phone (power cycle).
FOR ICS/Android 4.0 people:
1. Settings
2. WiFi (click on word "WiFi", not ON/OFF switch)
3. Press and hold preferred (or active) wireless network until dialog pops up
4. Select "Modify Network"
5. Check "Show advanced options" checkbox at the bottom
6. Switch "IP settings" to "Static"
7. Keep IP address, Gateway and Network prefix length the same (should be set from standard DHCP)
8. Set DNS 1 and DNS 2 fields as per table above.
9. "Save"
10. Restart your phone (power cycle).
CHEERS. Please spread widely, as this is a big problem for android users and public networks!!
Wow. This is the only thing that has worked for me.
When I changed the IP to static, the IP, gateway, network, and dns were all correct, as in your list. But they were greyed out. So I couldn't hit "save." Then I typed them in (without changing anything), clicked the save button and finally was able to log in. So something is wrong with the way android manages wifi. All the information was there, but android wasn't using it. In addition to changing the IP to static, the information has to be entered manually. Information android already has access to, but won't use for some reason.

Hi I m android 4.0 user I have followedyour steps but after restarting no login page is coming what I have to do??
I have the Samsung S7 and through your tutorial I am able to connect to Wifi but my company's login page doesn't come up in the browser (Opera, Chrome, Default Browser).
Any one has the other half of the solution?
Try
To sign-on you have to do the following (credit reddit):
1. tap sign in to Wi-Fi
2. press the three dots
3. choose you network as is
4. open chrome and go to any website that will redirect you to sign in page
5. sign in

Still can't login. Tried the reddit solution but didn't see a "use network as is" button or anything close. Also tried to make the IP static. Still nothing. Someone please help! I'm at my wit's end!
I have a Samsung SM-G318ML Android 4.4.4 with security patch from 9-1-2016. None of the procedures above work to get to a browser logon screen. I will go down to a nearby Starbucks soon and try using the phone's "Internet" browser instead of Chrome - I have not tried that yet. Holding down the WIFI button on the screen where you choose a particular WIFI source just sends me back to the previous screen. There is nothing labeled "Control Panel." I cannot find a screen to change from automatic to static IP, nor can I find OpenDNS or GoogleDNS. Every generation of Android seems to have significant differences in accessing these features of the operating system making this a really frustrating problem. Any suggestions - beyond the obvious "get an iPhone."
Solved on 2nd hand unlocked Galaxy Note 4 that had been reset before I bought it. Solution: downloaded Dolphin browser app and an app called Wifi Browser Login, by Cedric Ho; both free from Google Play store. In the settings for Wifi Browser Login, select: Login Action. What to do if login from browser is required. Then select: Popup WebView. I then found that connecting to public Wifi triggered the usual message that the wifi had been connected to, but instead of just not getting the browser login page that requires T&Cs to be accepted, a small window appeared asking which browser I wanted to use to open that page. It had the range of my available web browsers to select from, including Dolphin Web Browser. I selected it from that window and Dolphin opened showing the T&Cs acceptance page for the public wifi I had connected to but had previously been unable to use. I have not experimented to see if adding the Dolphin browser app was necessary or not, it might be that Wifi Browser Login alone was the solution.
I am surprised that this problem has existed since 2010 and there is no solution offered from Samsung or Android.
tryRoo method works for me. Just to be more specific though. Please read the notes before giving up trying.
1. Connect to wifi as per usual (hold down wifi button to select the wifi connection and choose the connection).
2. Go to any website so that they will prompt to sign in.
3. Sign in.
NOTE:
1. Sign in page will fail to show after the first step. Ignore it. Continue to step 2.
2. After step 1, you have to sign in before the login time runs out. So, do step 2 within the time limit (I am unsure how long. Perhaps around 1min).
3. While doing step 2, not all website will prompt you with the sign in page. Only after I have tried to login to my company website, that the sign in page appear. I have tried yahoo.com webpage, it doesn't work.
I am using Samsung Note 3 and Hotel wifi (I dun think this matter).
I hope this method works.

I have the same problem and am surprised the fix is so complex, and it sounds like it might be specific to one network which isn't much use if like me you are travelling around using dozens of different networks.
However, something I have discovered is that, for me at least, this issue only exists when the browser tries to connect to an https address (which includes google and most sites it seems). But if you try to connect to a regular http site ( I use the Indepent newspaper (uk) by default but I can't post the url) then it generally redirects me to a log in page successfully
YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this "fix." This problem has almost made me lose my mind!
