Hi,

I have a o2 xda neo.

I've been trying to get internet working at both home and work through different settings. After lots of problems, i've done a hard reset and will try again.

Perhaps you can help with the correct settings, as I do not understand this whole Activesync 'the internet' / 'My Work' etc network settings.

I have my neo sync'd to my work pc. Fine. And when I use 'work' on the connection setting, then the internet is also fine on my PPC. HOWEVER, it updates my 'my work' settings on the PPC with my works proxy server ip etc.

OK, i understand that makes it work ok....

But my problem comes next. I want to set my o2 GPRS settings up. And they should go under 'my work' and I need to enter the o2 server IP in there.

But I can't because my work settings are there!!?!?!

So, I have to chose, do i want to use only work settings or only gprs settings...

How can I have both?
- when at work, it has internet fine.
- and on the move, i can use GPRS fine?

A million thanks in advance!

maybe i'm to simple, but i only use Internet settings and don't use @work @all.

And it works fine everywhere, @home, @work, via GPRS and via WiFi. Have you tried this?

and why would you put your gprs setting under Work?

Extremely sorry no one has replied to your post with a solution yet, I maybe too late but I only joined this forum yesterday.
You want multiple Network settings with independent Proxy settings and IP, DNS etc right??
Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Tap connections >go to the "Advanced" Tab. Tap "Select Networks" Here you are given 2 Choices of Network settings you can use. Work Network and Internet (or ISP). You have your work settings saved on Work network so do not edit that. choose the other one and edit it to enter all your GPRS settings. and save as your gprs connection. Now if you want to add a third independent setting, from the select Networks tab, click on new and you can create a third Set of connection settings (for your home maybe). Your PPC can handle 2 simultaneous connection settings perfectly, ex. 1 for Pass through and 2 for GPRS. But each time you want to connect to a third or different setting, you just go to the "Advanced Tab"> select Networks> tap the pull down options menu and select the other connection set that you would like to use et voila it is that simple.
