Re: Automatic Network settings?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I just tried that but it didn't work. My situation is the opposite, my WiFi goes through a proxy and the T-Mobile doesn't.

I'll take a look at the links you posted.

Thanks

I have an HP iPaq hw6945 with WM5 on T-Mobile. This is an unlocked

I have figured out by trial and error that I need to have 2 sets of
network connections. 1 for the internet and one for my LAN. My lan
buses a proxy server and I have both Active Sync cradle connections
and WiFi.

I would like the device to be able to automatically connect the
internet connection to the WiFi or USB/Active Sync/Proxied
connection
when available and to the GPRS/EDGE no-proxy wireless connection
otherwise.

Currently I have to manually switch these settings which is a PITA.

Is there a program which I can install to do this automagically?


Have you tried playing with the "Select Networks" settings? To get
my unproxied Wi-Fi to "fall back" to my proxied cellular data, I put
my Wi-Fi settings ("My Work Network") in the top box (Programs that
connect to the Internet...") and my Cell data network ("T-Mobile
Data") in the bottom
(Programs that connect to a private network...)

This handles auto-switching for IE and Windows Live Search, but
Messaging still can only use whatever connection you specify in each
accounts options (I leave e-mail set for cellular data.)

If you need more flexibility you might want to check out Pocket Zen
Phone- IIRC, it allows you to create different profiles and select
them with a single tap.
