No internet using USB to PC

---

Apologies if this has already been asked/answered, but have spent the last two days looking for a solution..

When connected via USB I cannot establish an internet connection, unless I delete the T-Mobile proxy setting.

I've applied the regedit edit that's been mentioned as a solution, but this didn't work.

Is there anyway to use the pass through connection without having to delete the proxy everytime?

The main annoyance is that the phone won't sync with my exchange server whilst connected to the PC. I have mail set up to sync with exchange server and all other items syncing with my PC. My Hermes sync'ed with anything and everything.

Thanks

just leave the proxy out.

T-Mobile's proxy is a pain in the arse and causes all sorts of problems.

I deleted the proxy from my connection on t-mobile nearly three years ago and on every single device i have had since. never had a problem since.

If the proxy is there, it affects ALL internet connections, so when you plug it in to your PC, it is trying to go through a Proxy that you can only access over GPRS.

that's why proxies are a PITA and should be deleted permanently.

and no, it should not affect anyhting if you delete it. or not that i have noticed anyway.

Thanks will give it a go when I get home.

Seem to be able to access internet without the proxy, but forgot my usb cable so can't test pass though at work.. fingers crossed!

When I deleted the proxy I couldn't then send SMS texts...?

That's a completely random coincidence. The proxy has nothing to do with SMS whatsoever.

you can of course make sure that you are using GSM for SMS. start>settings>connections>advanced network>SMS
set it to GSM. if this is already set, then it has nothing to do with the proxy.

Says "Your text message cannot be sent" after I removed the proxy. SMS is set to GSM. Could it have altered any other relevant settings? Have put the proxy back now but it still refuses to send the message.

Any ideas?

no, wouldn't have changed anything else. The proxy has no bearing on SMS whatsoever.

Like i said, i reckon it is just a coincidence, otherwise turning the proxy back on would have fixed it.

If it is set to GSM already try the other three settings as well.
and a soft reset of course....

Have found a cable and tested - still no joy after deleting proxy.

Connecting to PC, and items syncing with host PC are fine. Mail syncing with Exchange server fails and can't access internet via pass through.

Browsing and syncing with the exchange server is fine when not connected to the PC.

Btw kempas - SMS works fine after deleting the proxy setting, as it should do.

on the handset:

start>settings>connections>wifi (NOT Wireless LAN)> network adapters

set the drop down box to Internet.

On the PC:
Open Activesync>File>Connection Settings
Set "This computer connects to" to the internet.
Dunno what it is in vista, i have avoided it like the plague....

I did a soft reset and tried again (a couple of time) with no luck, unable to send text message.

Went to settings, connections and run through the network provider setup wizard, let it reset the phone and tried again. Settings 'seemed' all the same but SMS now sent without issue.

Will try removing the proxy again later and testing with another SMS.

EDIT: removed the proxy and sent an SMS without issue this time... So was a "completely random coincidence" as rhedgehog said.

Still can't access You Tube via it's mobile client though, at least, it still says no videos...
