I had the same problem. This is what I did to resolve.
got to start menu,settings,connections,then connentions again. then go to advanced, then select networks In the first box put my isp.(or create it). In the second box should be your t-zones settings.(dont edit)then hit ok twice and then exit to today screen. Give this a try, it worked for me.

The reason this is happening is because the proxy servers used by all major carriers are only available from inside thier network. Im not sure if it is because of DNS records are not provided from outside their network. Once you connect to the WiFi network, the proxy server is unreachable.

For other purposes than this, I have 2 networks setup. One with all the proxy settings for the cingulara network and one that doesn't have the proxy settings. Its easy enough to change when you just have to select a different network to connect to the "internet" with.

My first wizard had defective wifi card. I spent numerous hours with the tmobile support and HTC support to try and get it to work. The first thing they had me check was to disable proxy settings. Both tech supports straight out told me you can't have both. I once saw some thread where someone adjusted a lnk file or registry value so that when wifi was turned on, the proxy settings were disabled;when turned off they were re-enabled.

Hope that helps, Jess

I have a HTC Wizard running WM5. I am running a connection with proxy settings and one without. I can turn on wifi connect to IE and then turn off wifi. Re-open IE and gprs will connect and then load page. I did'nt need to use any special registry settings.
