I have an HP iPaq hw6945 with WM5 on T-Mobile. This is an unlocked device.

I have figured out by trial and error that I need to have 2 sets of network
connections. 1 for the internet and one for my LAN. My lan uses a proxy
server and I have both Active Sync cradle connections and WiFi.

I would like the device to be able to automatically connect the internet
connection to the WiFi or USB/Active Sync/Proxied connection when available
and to the GPRS/EDGE no-proxy wireless connection otherwise.

Currently I have to manually switch these settings which is a PITA.

Is there a program which I can install to do this automagically?

Thanks

Edwin

Have you tried playing with the "Select Networks" settings? To get
my unproxied Wi-Fi to "fall back" to my proxied cellular data, I put
my Wi-Fi settings ("My Work Network") in the top box (Programs that
connect to the Internet...") and my Cell data network ("T-Mobile
Data") in the bottom
(Programs that connect to a private network...)

This handles auto-switching for IE and Windows Live Search, but
Messaging still can only use whatever connection you specify in each
accounts options (I leave e-mail set for cellular data.)

If you need more flexibility you might want to check out Pocket Zen
Phone- IIRC, it allows you to create different profiles and select
them with a single tap.

I've been looking for the same thing. I tried PocketZenPhone and couldn't
find network switching capabilities (might be there, but couldn't find it).
However, I have PhoneAlarm, and ran across this:

Going to try it out.

I just tried that but it didn't work. My situation is the opposite, my WiFi
goes through a proxy and the T-Mobile doesn't.

I'll take a look at the links you posted.

Thanks

I looked at the PZP homepage but it is very light on documentation and
doesn't say whether it will actually switch the network configuration. I
already have HP Profiles utility but it doesn't switch network configs
either. I don't want to spend money on such a sketchy product and then find
out it doesn't do what I want.

The seller should showcase his product better.
