do i have to configure the proxy by hand? i thought it should be automatic.

also, if i turn the radio off, shouldn't the phone be smart enough to figure
that there is no GPRS, and if there is an ActiveSync connection, shouldn't
it try to use it to get access to the net?

i thought Smartphones were "smart"... but maybe not that smart :)

Yes, we have to manually confugure the proxy settings.

ok, but how.

if i select Settings > Proxy, then add a new proxy, how should i set it up?

connect from? (work?)
connect to (the internet?)
Proxy name:port? i suppose that this should be the client IP on my PC, but
what should the port be?
Type? what should that be? http?
user name / password?

or are you telling me that i should install a special proxy app on my PC,
i.e. that a Smartphone cannot use the ActiveSync passthrough?

i have no problem using the ActiveSync passthrough with a Pocket PC, why
should it have to go through all that to do the same with a Cingular
Blackjack?

Hi,

Yes we just need a Proxy setting. Hope you are connected to a LAN.

Connect From: Work:
Connect To: Internet
Proxy(name:port) Give the same IP and Port that you have in your
Destop IE -> Tools -> Internet Options -> Lan connection


Type: HTTP

Please check.

Regards,
Herojit

i'm using a PC that is connected directly to the internet, via a DSL modem.
do i need to set-up a LAN just in order to use the active-sync passthrough?

> Connect From: Work:
> Connect To: Internet
> Proxy(name:port) Give the same IP and Port that you have in your
> Destop IE

i know the IP, but what is the port? i don't have any port set in my PC, i
just have a DSL connection on one side, and activesync on the other side.

-> Tools -> Internet Options -> Lan connection

there is no proxy server there. my PC is talking directly to internet via
DSL.

i have no problem using the AS passthrough when i connect any real Pocket PC
with AS. it also works with all the Smartphone emulators. but NOT with a
real Smartphone.

I still don't understand why i need all that to make it work with a REAL
smartphone.
