Internet trouble of classic SPV - page cannot be found.....

[Guest Badgerman]

Hey everyone!

Got a problem with my internet, I'm on a classic SPV (sim unlocked, de-certed) on the O2 online pay as you go 300 free txts deal. My internet was working fine upto about 3 weeks ago, but now when i try to connect using internet explorer it connects but then trys to find the site for about a minute and then gives me an alert message saying "the page you are looking for cannot be found". However, i can connect to msn messenger fine, and talk to people on that.

I'm pretty sure it's not the settings, as after trying different ones, i am now using the ones which worked fine before.

I'm still a newbie so don't actually know, but i was thinking it might be some other bug/setting/registry file somewhere which isn't letting internet explorer connect to the internet, even though the phone is connected itself.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Anyone got any ideas on sorting it?

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Cheers!!

Sounds very familiar to me, and a reboot usually sorted things out.

There were times though when Orange's mainframe was causing the problem

[Guest Badgerman]

reboot as in just switching off then on again, or as in a bit old hard reset?

[Guest Disco Stu]

Just switching on/off.

Hard reset will get you back to square one. You'll have to re-enter your settings etc.

Might be worth calling o2 customer services to see if there's a problem their end. They may be able to do a diagnostic check from their end too.

Its not been working for a good few weeks now in which time its been off and on loads, so doesn't look like it's that:( I've also checked with o2, and they said everything was fine at their end, and that it must be a phone problem :) :?

Any other ideas about what could be stopping it working?

Try deleting the existing GPRS connection and proxy connection and then re-entering them.

Make sure of the following

Proxy= Description is O2 proxy, Connects from Internet, Connects to WAP network, Proxy is 193.113.200.195:8080, Type is HTTP.

GPRS Connection = Description is O2 GPRS WAP, Connects to Internet, Access Point is payandgo.o2.co.uk, User is payandgo, Password is password.

In Data Connections make WAP connection O2 GPRS WAP.

In Internet Explorer, untick 'auto detect settings' and 'make Select network: WAP network'.

This should be all you need to make it work over GPRS.

If you are trying to connect to the internet using a CSD connection then I think O2 may have blocked this.

[Guest Badgerman]

ok, got the wap going:) (cheers martin!!:))

Are we completely sure CSD has been blocked?? :shock: :shock:

i say this as i was connecting via my CSD connection onto the full-on internet only a couple of weeks ago with no problems, and i can still connect and go on msn messenger.

Could it be an internet explorer problem? would a different browser help?

Direct access to the internet seems to blocked but I don't know if O2 have done this deliberately.

If you set the WAP connection to use CSD then you can still connect to the internet via the WAP proxy server. Previously the CSD connection could be used for full internet so I can only assume that O2 now want to apply some restrictions.

It could also be a fault but I'm not so sure.

I have the same O2 WAP GSM internet problem with no fix. I was wondering if anyone can access full internet with a O2 WAP GSM connection at all.
