IE Not Working

[Guest danzer]

When I try to go on internet explorer, an error appears noting that the connection is not configured properly. It also says to verify the settings in the connection.

Can somebody help me figure this out? Maybe tell me what the settings are suppose to be. The weird thing is that Opera Mini works just fine and IE does not. Another question is that whenever I load a page on Opera, it always says "Opera Mini is trying to use HTTP for communication". So I was wondering how I can take that off and it just opens the page right away.

Thanks,

Danzer

I had the same problem, but I found out that when active sync is connected, you cant go on the internet with IE. Not sure if you knew about this or not.

No I didn't, but thanks... I'm was actually not on active sync when I was trying to use IE so that's not the case here.

Start - Settings - Connections - GPRS

Delete the "ATT IMS" connection.

Nope, sorry that didn't work... still IE still says what I typed up above

Thanks anyways

Are you using ATT?

Here's the proper settings:

(after you delete that ATT IMS)

Start - Settings - Connections - GPRS - MediaNet

Connects to: The Internet

Access Point: wap.cingular

User name: [email protected]

Password: CINGULAR1

Auth Type: CHAP

Primary DNS: 0.0.0.0

Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0

Leave IP address blank.

Click done, then go to Start - Settings - Connections - Proxy - ATT Wap

Connects from: The Internet

Connects to: WAP Network

Proxy: wireless.cingular.com:80

Type: HTTP

Leave Username and Password blank.

Click done.

Now open Internet Explorer and click Menu - Tools - Options - Connections.

Uncheck "Automatically Detect Settings"

Select Network: Wap Network.

Ensure all those settings are set correctly.

This is all I had to do, I think it was partially my fault becuase I checked the "Automatically Detect Settings" box.

Thank you soo much

No problem. Just on an added note, even though I said in that windows you should have "Select Network" to the Wap Network, you can avoid the proxy by setting it to The Internet. This will block access to MediaNet and Cingular Video, but it won't be going through the wireless.cingular.com proxy.
