Help please! Internet (PIE) problem

[cpz21]

I'm using Cingular 8525 on US T-mobile network, internet set to t-mobile settings, I can connect through GPRS or wifi with Opera browser, bur if I use IE, it always display an error message: "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again." no matter what site I try.

Getting desperate, any help is appreciated!

My limited understanding is that Cingular hard coded their proxy settings in to PIE and thus it does not matter what settings you have specified in the connection settings menu, it will still try and use Cingular's Proxy.

There is a fix....search for it...

I found the posts about the hard coded proxy setting, but I'm using AKU2.3 ROM and do not have the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings] "EnableAutoDetect" key.

After hard reset and re-install some programs, the connection was ok first, then started to show that error message again.

Is this proxy setting located in somewhere else in AKU2.3 ROMs?

I am not sure to behonest with you. I do not even know if it was employed in the 2.3 AKU.

I will edit my post later when I am in front of TyTN there is one other thing to try that might fix it..

Yeah the problem is that is comes back if you only change it from 1 or 0....DELETE the "EnableAutoDetect" key and it wont come back. You lose all Cingular Proxy though so if you are on Cingular and want MediaNet or CV then do not do this.

Thanks Dan. I did search and found no [EnableAutoDetect] setting anywhere in the registry. But I think you are right that this is a Cingular hard coded IE issue since Opera connects anytime. Please let me know if you found anything.

Cheers

Hi wpbear, thanks. but I don't have the [EnableAutoDetect] key to begin with. I don't care much about the cingular stuff since I'm on t-mobile network.

I guess I will upgrade to the AKU3.3 rom, and hope the problem will go away

Found the cause myseslf, but don't know why:

It seems that every time I connect to activesync, something in the registry is changed, then PIE cannot connect to the internet. I can't figure out what registry key was changed, so I have to restore the entire registry in order to used PIE again.

Anyone had this problem before?
