There must be a way around this!

Hey folks! I have an HTC Hermes running WM6 with wap connection (behind Proxy). I've been facing two problems with my connection every since I started using HTC products:

1) I cannot setup my Gmail account on outlook. I have tried every possible way, and I read so many threads but nothing seems to work.
2) Weather on HTC Homeplug doesn't work, even on the N2A patched one.

I hope those problems are solvable. I think it has something to do with my wap connection( I live in lebanon, using ALFA service, if any lebanese guys are reading this and have made those two things work, please post the settings/work around)
I appreciate any help and thanks in advance....

I'm not living in Lebanon but I have a Hermes device and I had no trouble at all setting up my gmail account, it even grabs the settings automatically. I don't know where your problem is stuck but it could be in the proxy settings.
sure everything can be solved. which ROM are you using and which Radio version?

I'm using Schap's 4.31 and radio 1.16.00.00
however i dont think it has anything to do with those things, i'm positive it's a matter of proxy settings

Are you sure the PROXY you defined is used for INTERNET?
most service providers use the PROXY for WAP only.

Call your service provider and ask them
I think you`ll get the answer from them.

I know it's for wap only, isn't there a way to make those things work over wap though?

It depends if your service provider allows it.

here in Israel we have one provider that allows access to the WWW using the WAP protocol and another Provider that blocks all DATA other then their own WAP site.

I checked the connection setup app on my device and found that it has the settings for <Lebanon/Alfa>. I think if you use this application, you might not be in need to setup any proxy.
if nothing works for you, then -as elivne said- calling your customer service would be a good solution
PS be careful with your mobile bill!
