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

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.

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,

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!

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>

those you dont see but need you will have to make yourself

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.......

Where to set "Use static IP" with Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 that comes with Android 3?
I believe older android devices had that option in settings->Wifi Settings->advance->Checkbox for "Use Static IP". I no more see it with Android 3 in Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Can someone help?
Thanks!
i was wondering about this too. Can't find it anywhere.
i just cancelled the password of the AP,tried connecting again,then i saw the option of setting static IP.
it's not the best solution though...
How about VPN setup support? I use one of the VPN services to access the likes of HULU or BBC. Will I be able to do it on Android 3.x?

Did you ever get a response to this or ever figure it out?! I am having major issues with intermittent wifi connection in my house. It doesn't seem to affect the tablet elsewhere. (Though, I've only had this tablet for 3 days!)
it is extremely frustrating to have this intermittent connection problem with wifi.
Thank you.
Is there a way I can set a static IP address for mobile data? Not just wifi
Hey guys,
i have an issue with my wifi connection, but only in one specific place.
Here goes: I can connect and use wifi everywhere(without any problem), but not at my friends house. Wifi connects without a problem, but after that i cannot use it (can't download from market, can't surf, etc.). It says there is an internet connection failure, altough i'm still connected.
I know for sure there isn't a problem with routers, modems, networks, etc. coz i setup his network myself (exactly the same as al the other networks i use) So in this there cannot be a problem. My friend can connect his iphone4, my wife can with S+, even a guy with an ACE can connect and use, except for me and my ACE.
Already reset router, modem and phone (even other firmware), but still nothing!
Hope somebody can help with this, coz i'm really bugged out on this one.
Cheers.
Check if u have a WPA protection.. My ACE doesnt work with Wifi with WPA pwd..
or
Try this:
Go to Wifi Settings, select the hotspot you are connecting to, forget the connection, restart ACE, connect to the hotspot again by entering the password
Hope this helps..

Check on router setting the ip address your phone is using is not bind to another device,s mac address this is on the router settings something like ip & Mab binding.
It could be the ip you are trying to use alocated for use by another device only.
However u will be able to connect to the router it will show in the router you phone is connected and alsoshow in wifi on the phone you are connected but you will NOT be able to connect to the internet.

ip no problem
You can set another ip address manually for phone first find out what routers ip address is
normally 192.168.1.1 is default for lots of routers then see router has DHCP
enabled this means router issues ips to devices. if it is enabled the leave your phone as is and check on the router under ip & Mac binding see if it is enabled UNanble u can always put it back
even better see on router what ip your phone is using then checxk in ip & mac binding that it is not assigned to another device for use. if it is u can delete that binding.
binding means you give a certain device's mac address a certain ip so only that device can you that ip
for example say your phones mac adress is 12:34:56:78:90:00 and you assign or give it ip adress 192.168.1 10 then in theory only your phone can use this ip. THIS not always the case depends on what make router. Whilst we are at that what is your router model.

Reserved IP Address - The IP address of the router reserved.
To Reserve IP Addresses:
Enter the MAC Address (The format for the MAC Address is XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX.) and the IP address in dotted-decimal notation of the computer you wish to add.
Click the Save button when finished.
To modify a Reserved IP Address:
Select the reserved address entry as you desire, modify it. If you wish to delete the entry, make all of the entry fields blank.

Hi!
My friend just now had the exact same problem as you.
He updated his Xperia Active to ICS today and lost WiFi settings.
When I input the same router's settings as they were on GB they refused to work --> WiFi router connected, but internet, google play, apps,... didn't work.
Problem was, because I had static IP settings and I didn't input ALL fields in one stroke in advanced menu.
After I deleted the initial WiFi connection from his list, I used this tutorial:

My config is:

DNS 2: 4.4.4.4
I left "4.4.4.4" because it took me a while to configure everything and my friend was in a hurry. Everything works because it relies on working first DNS: "8.8.8.8" (Google's DNS).
Right numbers for DNS 2 are either "192.168.1.1" (Router's IP) or "8.8.4.4" (Google's backup DNS).

For 3 days I've been trying to fix the 'unstable internet connection' on my phone to no avail. Finally I found a fix. This hasn't been listed anywhere I've seen and I've been researching this non-stop for days.
Go to your wifi connection and see what your IP address is. Then check your other devices. The IP address on the phone I was having the problem on was different from every other device in my house.
THE FIX
Choose your wifi network, tap and hold it. Choose modify. Then choose 'show advanced options. Under proxy settings choose manual. Under IP settings coose Static. You'll now be able to manually enter your IP address. As for the proxy host name, proxy port, and bybass proxy for, I just entered something random.
When I restarted my phone for the first time the 'unstable connection' part came back and I had to disconnect and reconnect and it was fine again.
Hope this helps people until we get a fix.

For 3 days I've been trying to fix the 'unstable internet connection' on my phone to no avail. Finally I found a fix. This hasn't been listed anywhere I've seen and I've been researching this non-stop for days.
Go to your wifi connection and see what your IP address is. Then check your other devices. The IP address on the phone I was having the problem on was different from every other device in my house.

Does this work if you're on a dynamic IP network? What about if you're switching regularly between open and closed networks? This perhaps resets the WiFi. I've looked at advanced settings before, but this happens with mainly open networks, and I believe that these typically have dynamic IP addresses. The protected network in my home is rarely an issue, but open networks are what give me fits.
No harm in trying, and if it works, that'd be awesome. I'm wondering if done once it fixes all such issues that one encounters, or must be done with every new network.
@freeza has a fix in the works in the form of a kernel, and so far, it's pretty solid. The only issue I've found is that if ya flash anything, you have to reflash the fix. Odd, but does the job.

For this to really work, you'd need to do more than the OP states. ALL basic home routers/access points come setup with DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) which assigns IP addresses from numbers it keeps in a "pool". If you manually force your phone to use an IP (lets say 192.168.1.15) then leave the network (you go on some business trip) - and in the mean time, one of your kids adds some other device, or simply reconnects a device that hadn't been on the network for a while. After a certain period (the "lease" period of the IP), the router will put that IP BACK into the pool of available IPs. And since nearly all routers assign IPs bottom up (lowest to highest), if 15 is the next available number - you're toast. You come home, your phone tries to connect on 192.168.1.15 and gee- sorry - your son's PSP is on that IP.
For this to be a workable long-term solution, you'd have to enable static IPs within the router (a better way to do it anyway - that's how I have my network setup). You would simply go into the router, and tell it which IP to give to a device based on that device's MAC address.
Just figured I'd throw this out there because if an IP collision happens, the 2nd device in will simply get nothing - don't want someone tossing their phone out a window when it suddenly won't connect to a home network.
