Use WiFi and set it to route through a proxy, same as you would do on Windows? Doing it over the cellular network is harder; you can try specifying a proxy if you know your APN and it doesn't normally use one, but that's kind of a mess.
I have it done on my android phone abd tablet. But not sure how to on my wp.

Settings -> WiFi. Turn it on and connect to a network as usual.
Once you're connected, press and hold on the network name. A menu appears, choose Settings (or something like that, I'm not on WiFi at present).
A screen appears showing network details. There will be a toggle, initially disabled, to use a proxy. Turn it on.
A couple editable lines appear in the network details, Proxy Address and Proxy Port. Set them as needed.
Hit Save (on the App Bar); you will now be connected through the proxy.
Remember to revert the proxy settings when not needed, for faster Internet access.

I am having some issues with setting my proxy settings on my Tilt. The HTTP proxy is wiped out once they are set.
Here is what I am doing to create the problem
I go to Start ->Settings ->Connection Tab ->Connections ->Advance Tab ->Select Networks and change both settings in this menu to use "My Work Network" for both settings, and then set the proxy settings for "My Work Network" to use my corporate proxy, everything works fine until I enable a WLAN connection. After I enable the connection the proxy information disappears.
I guess I don't understand why the proxy settings disappear once a live WLAN connections is set.
Does anybody know how I can fix this.
I have tried running the no proxy cab which didn't help.
Thanks for any help
I am so frustrated I want to take this thing back to the store if I can't use it on my corporate network.
it probably does this since the proxy gets sent to you once you connect to a network, and the WiFi connection you are connecting to tells the Kaiser it needs no proxy... your corporate network should sent the proxy automatically, mine does (the wired one, not WiFi)
I called HTC support and they said this was a Mobile 6 bug. They said that they are going to work with MS to create a fix for this issue.
My thoughts are on this, is this going to affect a massive amount of user who have to connect through proxy on their corporate network.
This sucks cause I'm to cheap to pay for the data plan.
Holding my breath for a QFE from Microsoft. I sure not to soon though.
That isn't a WM6 bug. I have an ASUS device, which makes no problems with the proxy settings. It is probably a WM bug combined with the HTC specials.

Hi,
I have ADSL modem, and I am trying to connect to the modem (via WiFi) and use internet on my HTC VIVA.
My internet connection requires authentication in order to connect. I can successfully connect to modem using Wifi connection. In order to connection to Internet, I added new VPN server from settings > Connections > Edit my VPN servers. I added all the credentials as provided by my ISP, however I am not able to connect to internet and access web pages from the Internet explorer of my device.
Please help me and let me know where I am going wrong?
Thanks,
You don't have to set your authentication data in your Viva.
All you need to do is connect to your ADSL modem using WiFi and start browsing the web. It should work correctly unless your ISP requires a proxy server.
Tell us what happens.
Hi GFX,
Thanks for replying. I connected to ADSL using WiFi, but when I open Internet explorer I get page not found.
When I was in US, I was able to access Internet as per your reply. But now I am in India and I am not able to access Internet.
Some of the differences that might help you or any other who would like to contribute
USA India
====== =======
ISP Comcast BSNL
Authentication WPA2-PSK Open
Data Encryption AES WEP
Thanks,
I'm not sure what's causing this.
Probably your ISP requires a proxy server. Can you connect to the internet using your PC??
The other thing is, your ISP has nothing to do with your ADSL modem authentication and data encryption modes! You can set these settings manually according to your personal needs. Read your ADSL modem user manual for more information.
A WPA2 authentication is recommended so you can protect your modem & internet connection from outsiders and hackers.
Check your ISP's website to see if they require a proxy server. And tell us about your ADSL modem brand and model so we can help you.
My ISP does not require proxy server, and I can connect to Internet using my PC. I am able to connect to my ADSL modem but somehow I am not able to connect to Internet.
Following are the details of my ADSL modem
Brand: Huawei
Model: WA1003A
Its an ADSL router.
Thanks,
OK, please check the following settings in your device:
1- Goto Start-> Settings -> Connections -> Connections-> Advanced tab-> tap on "Select Networks", and check that the first dropdown menu says "My ISP".
2- Goto Start-> Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi -> Network Adapters tab, and check that the first dropdown menu says "The Internet".
If you made any changes to the above settings, try to reconnect to the modem once again, it may work this time.
However, if you left the above settings unchanged then your problem lies somewhere else. Check if you can access the internet using Opera Mini, or try connecting to another router. Because we need to determine the source of the problem.
Good luck.
have you simply tried connecting via wifi with default settings?
when you switch on wifi, once the network is detected, you can feed in the values then right? sorry if this seems like a stupid answer but we often miss whats right under our noses,
Sorry for replying so late, was busy with lots of work for some time.
GFX: My connection settings are same as you mentioned. But even with these settings in place, no success.
karthiksk: I get connected to WiFi network, but after this I don't get any popup box in my device to enter the details.
Guys, however I got the solution, since my network uses PPoE, I had to configure these settings in my Modem. Earlier I was entering ISP credentials in an external PPPoE client on my PC, this way I can access Internet with only one PC at a time and WiFi was also not working.
I entered ISP credentials in my modem and configured PPoE settings. Now I can connect my PC (using Ethernet cable), my laptop using WiFi and my HTC device using WiFi at the same time.
Thank you all for helping me in trying to resolve this issue.
Good to see your problem solved.
Turns out it has nothing to do with your device!
Enjoy your Viva, it's a wonderful device.

Dear Vijay,
I am facing the same problem to connect my E61 handset to BSNL Huwaei modem. Can you give me the steps to configure the same.
I can connect to the modem, just let me know what configuration changes are to be made to enable access from mobile phone.

This is a Windows Mobile and HTC VIVA forum, it is highly unlikely that you will get your solution here. and it is unsafe to post you mobile number.
I'm facing the same problem..it's not the ISP or modem..it's only & only viva...
It sucks badly...I purchased two different modem router..one of netgaer and other one of linksys...and the didn't work on both of them...wifi only works with the modem ZTE ZXDSL 531B
**** off viva...
cant get my captivate to connect to my hidden network. I set up the wifi on the phone and the key with my network un-hidden and it connects immediately. but with my network hidden it says that the network is out of range. New to android my last phone WM 6.5 had a "this network is hidden" button to tick and worked just fine. cant find an option like that on my captivate.

If the router has MAC addresses restricted it will not have the new phone in the authorized list. In order for me to use the wifi network at my daughter's house I have to install my new phone's mac address into the router's mac table.
Frank
thx Frank but no its set for a wep key. when the router is un-hidden the IP and wep key work and i conect right way but when the SSID is hidden the phone cant find it and I cant figure out a way to tell the phone that its hidden.
That's weird my wifi is hidden with wep security and Mac address to allow and mine connects fine. I'm using a Linksys wrt110 router

just checked to make sure and yep mac filter is diabled so thats not it. its a linksys wrt54gs if that helps any
Try installing the HiddenSSID Enabler app form the market. People seem to get positive results.
Thx I'll try that and report late tonight

That did it thank you very much. Didnt realize that this was an android issue and not a captivate specific issue...again thank you

I have my wireless network simply set not to broadcast, so it doesn't show up when scanning for wifi. I clicked ADD A NETWORK, typed in the network name, username and password and there we go. Don't know if that would have worked for you.
no i tried just entering the ssid and key but it would never find it just keept saying that the network was unavaiable it would keep the settings but just couldnt find the router. but i downloaded the hidden ssid app and it works great now.
hmm
I just installed hiddenssid enabler and I am having an issue with not being able to connect at all.... I attempted to add the network manually first typing in the ssid and WPA2 key (copied and pasted to be sure i had the right key) and it says unable to find wireless network so I found this thread and installed the hiddenssid app from the marketplace when I type in the name of my network and click enable hidden SSID a dialog pops up and says WARN not found SSID 'nameOfNetwork' and I have tried several times typing it in to no avail any other suggestions?
Enable ur wifi then go into the hidden ssid app. Make sure you have the spacing and capitalization exactaly right for the ssid or it wont work
Yeah I did have my wifi enabled. when I enabled broadcasting on my router it immediately connected but this is not the solution I am looking for.... Not sure what else I can try I tried another wifi app wifi buddy couldn't get that to help either
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
only thing i can tell you is to check the capitalization when u enter the ssid into hiddenSSID i have to rember to capitalize mine or it wont find the router
I have a custom ROM based on the official 2.3.5 ROM (3.12.405.1) and the HTC WiFi Hotspot application doesn't work. The app starts and wireless devices can associate with it and lease IP addresses via DHCP but they can't access the Internet. I think its a NAT problem in the application because I can resolve names from my PC as the phone is proxying the DNS lookups - i.e. open a command prompt on my PC and type 'nslookup www.google.com' and I get valid answers. If I try to access the Internet with the browser it fails.
I have downloaded android-wifi-tether and this works as long as the 'Routing Fix' is checked in the settings. I was hoping not to have to have this alternate WiFi Tether application and use the integrated one.
Just tested USB Tethering and the results are the same - i.e. PC gets an IP address and can resolve names but can't access the Internet. I assume this is something fundamental in the NAT/Routing being done by the phone?

Really weird... Sounds like your mobile data connection is down. (I'm sure you already checked that)
Flash some other ROM with same base and try.

I can access the Internet on the phone when its running so I know there is connectivity. As I say I think its something fundamental with the NAT/routing on the phone - I am not sure how to debug it further?
Andy
I am not sure why but this fixed it for me:
http://androidforums.com/1734672-post32.html
I assume with Orange the WiFi Hotspot App uses this 'Consumer Broadband' connection and not the default 'Orange Internet' connection. I was tempted to delete the 'Consumer Broadband' APN and see what happens, a job for another day though as I need to use it at the moment.

Hi! I'm trying to connect my friend's Razr i to our university wifi network. The configuration is: 802.11 EAP TLS, using a client certificate and a username, no password. The issue is that when I set up the connection and choose TLS as the security protocol, the settings are not saved correctly. In fact, after the connection fails, when I choose modify network, the security protocol has "magically" changed to AKA. I'm going crazy, I have already tried the Leap wifi app suggested in the Razr forum, but it only allows me to connect to networks with a password.
After rebooting, the network seems to be correctly saved but it just won't connect, it stays "Connecting..." for a few seconds then suddenly stops. That's it.
Thank you in advance.
Finally got it to work after messing around with all the settings. It's still buggy but it connects at least. I just can't figure out what could I have changed to make it work.
