do i have to configure the proxy by hand? i thought it should be automatic.

also, if i turn the radio off, shouldn't the phone be smart enough to figure
that there is no GPRS, and if there is an ActiveSync connection, shouldn't
it try to use it to get access to the net?

i thought Smartphones were "smart"... but maybe not that smart :)

ok, but how.

if i select Settings > Proxy, then add a new proxy, how should i set it up?

connect from? (work?)
connect to (the internet?)
Proxy name:port? i suppose that this should be the client IP on my PC, but
what should the port be?
Type? what should that be? http?
user name / password?

or are you telling me that i should install a special proxy app on my PC,
i.e. that a Smartphone cannot use the ActiveSync passthrough?

i have no problem using the ActiveSync passthrough with a Pocket PC, why
should it have to go through all that to do the same with a Cingular
Blackjack?

Hi,

Yes we just need a Proxy setting. Hope you are connected to a LAN.

Connect From: Work:
Connect To: Internet
Proxy(name:port) Give the same IP and Port that you have in your
Destop IE -> Tools -> Internet Options -> Lan connection


Type: HTTP

Please check.

Regards,
Herojit
