Hi all,
I know we can connect to the internet using desktop connectivity with ActiveSync.
Now, I want to develop some simple WAP application and place it in my http://localhost (desktop IIS) for testing purpose. How can I browse it this site from my xda?
Anyone can help? TIA.
try http://<ip-number of Desktop PC>
It doesn't work at all. Beside, I use dial-up connection in my desktop, so the desktop doesn't have any ip before connecting to the internet, and I want to develop the application offline.
I tried to assign permanent ip address to my desktop in without connecting and it still doesn't work.
internal network
I doubt you have networked computers but here goes...
If you have a network card in your PC for networking. Then you have an IP address with this. normally "192.168.???.???" so you could use that.
Hope this may be of help ..
or http://127.0.0.1
You will need to be connected to the internet on your PC before you try to browse, or you will need to configure internet connection sharing while your xda is cradled for it to work.
Though I can't test this (no webserver running), it's gotta work:
Put your XDA in the cradle, and the go in VXutil and go to info. There, under the adapter called "Serial on USB," you should see some IP config info. The "Default Gateway" should be the IP of your machine (as your XDA sees it).
Just for kicks, mine turns out to be 192.168.55.100
I've tries http://127.0.0.1 but since my desktop computer is not network and I don't have any ethernet card installed, I cannot assign IP address to this machine?
What is Vxutil anyway?
Thanks.

POCKET HOSTS worsk ok
yes use usb asycn to pda -
setup VPN or non-vpn
first setup VPN network in computer
link to that in pda
no password ect
admin or guest with autologon on direct contact will do
I use say 192.168.100.100 etc
My work has a GPRS connection through O2 and we had to setup some manual settings (which was a nightmare!!) to make this work. However, we can still surf the net if we connect to O2 GPRS.
So in summary, we have 2 GPRS connections. 1 for O2 which is used for surfing the net, and 1 for the company I work for (let's call them XDA plc for legal reasons....).
You might ask that why don't we just have 1 connection because we receive emails and check network stuff through the XDA plc connection but we can't surf the net using this one, so this is why we have the O2 connection as well. Everyone following this.
So to jump between the connections involves a long way for a shortcut by using the Settings-Connections-Connections icon and changing the settings. I noticed under Program-GPRS Connections there are various shortcuts. So after all this drivel.... here is the question.
Does anyone know how to make a new shortcut which I could apply our personal settings to?
Much Appreciated
Keith
No for a lie down.... phew :?
So, if I got your correctly, you have a secured GPRS connection to the XDA plc that doesn't allow access to the internet for security reason, and another normal GPRS connection to surf the internet ... right ?
Ok, this is a typical setup for highly secured LANs to reduce the possibility of virus attacks.
My advice is to check with your network administrator the possibility to add a firewall on a proxy server in your LAN to allow you to surf the internet (I 'm sure it came to their mind but they know better than me of course )
Or, you can setup the normal connectivity on your XDA to access the internet through O2, and set the xda plc GPRS connection to the "Work" connection and adjust your network application on the XDA to use this connection instead of the normal one.

Why couldn't I have put it like that............... Yes

I'm afraid it is the 'Or' as our IT guys cringe at the thought we even have an XDA....
There are 3 selections that you can make in the Connections (under settings) window.
1. When needed, automatically connect to The Internet using these settings:
2. When needed, automatically connect to Work using these settings:
3. My network card connect to:
1 is Work Settings
2 is Work Settings
3 is Work
The Work Settings have the secure GPRS settings (XDA plc).
I would have thought that I could have selected:
1. Internet Settings
2. Work Settings
3. Work
But when I use Active sync it will try to connect to O2 instead of XDA plc. It's the same when using IE. It will connect to XDA plc if 1,2 & 3 are set to Work. I've tried various other combinations to no avail.
My thinking was that if I could create a shortcut, like in Programs-GPRS Connections, then I could jump between the 2 without going through a long process.
Cheers

oh, i think i got ur point. up to my info, internet settings will be used whenever the device is connected 'wirelessly' .. if ur exchange server is in the xda plc LAN, then activesync will use the internet settings ... and Work settings is used whenever the xda is in the cradle ... IE will use it only if the 'pass through' option is checked and there is a proxy to the internet.
you should create another 'connection' under internet settings but using the access point of xda plc ... u will still have to select the proper 'modem' under internet settings manually
leave the work settings empty and it will be auto configured if u sync with ur exchange server from the cradle

Does that not defeat the point though? If the work settings are already setup, I'm as well selecting between that and Internet settings instead of jumping further into the settings?
I thought there might be someway to create a shortcut in Programs-GPRS Connections therefore I could get these shortcuts to the today screen and then select whichever one I need.
If you use WM2003 you can click the connection strength symbol in the header to connect and disconnect to the different services. They should both be listed in the bubble that pops up.

I think what your problem is that you are using a server name on your corporate LAN that has full-stops in it. These are interpreted by the XDA as an internet address, and therefore the Internet connection is used.
What you need to do to get around this is to put in some exceptions.
Go into Settings -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks
Then click on the exeptions button, and click on Add URL
Then put in the name of your server (or the domains that your company uses). Good examples are:-
*.xda.com
mailserver.xda.com
That should sort it for you, so you can then set the Internet to connect to the Internet, and Work to connect to Work.

But I can't use the XDA plc to access the Internet and I can't use O2 Mobile Web to access XDA plc for email, etc.
Interesting point though but I can't think where this si useful unless I've missed your point.
The only solution I can see is to create these shortcuts which no-one, so far, seems to know how to do.
Thanks for all your help so far,
cheers

Sorry - I think you have missed my point.
You have two connections - the Internet and Work.
Work is normally used for any Corporate LAN type stuff, and the Internet for everything else.
The XDA decides that you need to connect to and use Internet if the address contains full-stops (i.e. URLs like http://www.abc.com). If it doesn't, then the Work setting is used.
I think the problem is that your work server is setup as something like email.abc.com, so the XDA decides that this is an internet address and uses the Internet connection settings.
What I do is setup O2 Mobile Web as my Internet connection, and my corporate LAN as the Work connection. Then, I add into the exceptions list the name of my corporate LAN email server (email.abc.com, or even *.abc.com). This tells the XDA that when using the address email.abc.com to use the Work settings instead of the Internet settings and hey-presto it sorts itself out!
The only challenge then comes when, like me, you have a 3rd connection (WAP/MMS), at which point you do have to manually choose between which Internet connection setting to use, but for just the 2 it works fine.
Hope this helps!

Now I understand where you are going with this. But I can only select the following menu:
Settings -> Connections
There is no advanced menu.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Cheers
cant recall if it's the same with 2002 if you are using that, that is
start button
choose settings
choose the tab called connections
click the icon called connections
choose the tab called advanced
it's in the buttom of the dialog in the connections dialog

uh oh... there's no tab for advanced, just dialling locations and connections.
Maybe it would have helped if I had mentioned Pocket PC 2002.. Sorry.
Anyone else know where this menu may be?
Cheers
Keith
i think you see the stuff in the normal dialog in menu
it's where you choose what network you are on
as in <gprs>
or <wap> og <mms>
or <Wifi> or <Usb Lan using ActiveSync passthough>
or ............
those you dont see but need you will have to make yourself
much in the same way as you manualy set up grps
you then just choose the one you want to use at a given time and
thats pretty much it really

I would have hoped that the advanced menu would either be somewhere else on PPC2002 or at least be called something else. It appears that there is no easy answer to this.
This is really the crux of the problem where I have to keep going to Settings/Connection/Connections and changing everything back and forth.
What I have noticed about using the GPRS connection shortcuts, progrma/gprs connections, is that they change all the settings over automatically which means I have to change them back. So if it can do this then we must be able to create a shortcut which will change them back. Where this info is kept, I don't know.
it's pretty much the same situation you are facing if you are using a laptop with a modem and lan and have to change between them
maybe you can look for some 3th party software

What you're looking for is there in WM2003.
If an upgrade to 2003 is not an option you might want to give SPBs GPRS Monitor a try. I think it will let you connect/disconnect to different networks from the popup that is shown when you klick the connection icon in the task bar.
Download a trial at:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/gprsmonitor/?en
I've downloaded this software and I'll give it a try. Looks like good quality software too. Anyone tried the Today plug-in? versus other today plugins?
How do you upgrade to WM2003? Is it like a PC OS where you purchase the OS and install it? Sorry for newbie question....
After much serching and trialling I eventually forund RasMan software which provides the dial in switching that I need.
Now I can leave all the settings for my companies GPRS (so I can Activesync) and by using RasMan, I can dial up the O2 Mobile Web and surf to my hearts content.
Knew I would get there in the end.......
Cheers
Hello i have PDAVIET 4.0.0.0.4 and i have a problem when i m connected to a wireless spot, and i want to signin to msn it uses my GPRS connection although i am already connected to the internet.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
click cancel on baloon tooltip,and i'm not sure about your rom version,pdaviet maybe?
yes sorry
))) did you solve the problem ?
nope sorry
I'm with rom 4.0.0.3a and I also experience this. I tried using Live messenger connected to activesync through usb cable connection, but instead of using the activesync connection, he tries to connect over gprs!!!! Argghhhhh!!!
Beside iassael, the others who run 4.0.0.4 are also experience this bug??
i think so and i also had the same withh 4.0.0.0.3
well, I don't have wifi by my computer, but I soon will, so I'm interested in this issue...what about trying what this guy says;
It is a solution to a different problem, so maybe a bit of a long shot, but something he says there;
The beauty is that Windows mobile knows it needs to use the "GPRS Internet", only when other connections are not present.
Now you don't have to mess with selecting a proxyless connection when connecting to a WiFi source, or using activesync

made me think it could be worth a try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1283391&postcount=1
did you fix it?
I dont see how this will work. If default is set to not GPRS, you have to have wifi or connected to computer. it will not use GPRS as backup. at least i havent been able to get it to think that way on WM5 and WM6.
any solutions to the login problems using ? I still couldn't access MSN with PDAVIET 4.0.0.0.4 ROM
Hello!
I'm frequently using Internet connection sharing (=Internet-Freigabe, I'm using german ROM) on the HD2 to enable internet on my laptop.
After installing MyMobiler 1.25 and Efficasoft Mobile Express v1.5.2 on my PC I found out that Internet connection sharing doesn't work correctly anymore. The following I found out:
- Internet connection sharing works only in about 1 per cent of my connection trials, most time I get 'unable to resolve hostname' in my browser.
- reboot of HD2 and/or PC does not always help, occasionally I can establish a connection but most time the PC can't resolve host name.
- earlier I could easily turn on off internet connection sharing by pressing connect / disconnect (= verbinden, trennen) in the internet connection sharing (=Internet Freigabe) application. This does not work anymore. When I press disconnect and later connect I always get unable to resolve hostname.
- I entirely removed both softwares on PC and PDA but this doesn't help
- error is not limited to HD2 device, it occures on a HTC TouchHD in connection with a different PC as well
- It seems to me that the Internet connection is not correctly forwarded to the pc, because the PDA itself can establish an internet connection correctly (mobile browser is on the internet)
Thank you for your help because I'm urgently using this feature!

try changing your dns server on the pc, im not quite sure how you do this in windows. open dns have rock solid servers and there pretty secure too. not sure if that is your problem but its something to try. some mobile providers dns servers tend to be problomatic.

Hello veda_sticks!
Thanks for your reply!
How should I do this? I just plug-in my HD2 into my Notebook and get a selection menu on the HD2 where I can choose Internet connection sharing (out of 3 possible choices where the other 2 are Acive sync and use as HD drive). After pressing OK it works or it doesn't work.
When I try to share my mobile data connection to laptop, my laptop can't access internet.
No matter if I use USB or Wifi connection.
Everything seems to be ok, as far as settings are conserned.
Computer recognises and connects ok to the wifi hotspot or usb connection, but can't access internet.
I've tried stock rooted/unrooted and foxhound roms without luck.
Old SGS2 can share net without a problem in sight on every custom rom I've tried. I really need my "lifeline" to work with this phone.
Suggestions anyone?
[ My operator tele-finland sent 2 settings files: internet and wap. Problem was, that the WAP settongs went as default APN... ]
Edit: I've tried Foxfi app with no luck. Seems like there is a signifigant problem with my phone settings conserning mobile data, sice foxfi couldn't verify my internet connection and facebook doesn't automatically update status and youtube app can't load a single video to display...

Nice app, though it has trial quota and USB tethering only.
But one slight problem... still no internet connection.
Is the only way to (totally) reset mobile data operator settings by making factory reset/full wipe?:crying:

I used to have the exact same problem. However mine got fixed by editing the APN. Try clearing out the 'authentication type' and 'apn type' fields.
Thank you circuit89! My operator had sent me two setrings, internet and wap... Guess which one was chosen as default
Solution was to change default APN to internet from that obsolete WAP
