Probs with refresh thru proxy (was Newbie Weather question)

[moby101]

To surf on the Internet from Pocket IE when you are behind a firewall, you have to go to the Connection parameters, set 'automatic connection when at work' to 'Work parameters'.
then click on 'modify' button.
You shoulf have a 'proxy parameters' tab at the bottom of the page.
Click on it and then check all the boxes and click on 'advanced' button.
Enter your proxy address and port (usually 80 for HTTP and 8080 for Socks) for both HTTP and Socks.
Choose Socks4 or Socks5 (usually Socks4).

You have also to check if the 'passthrough' option is checked in Activesync options (in Activesync, 'options' then 'rules' tab and at the bottom choose 'Work'.

Now if you launch PocketIE and enter an URL, before you reach the targeted site, a window will pop up asking for your authentication data (login and password). Just enter them and that's it.

Simple, no?

TransFXB and others,
Thanks for your suggestions.  I've been away from work for the last 2 days and keen to get in on Monday to see if I have any luck with the suggestions.  Hope I do.
Thanks again - I'm really impressed with the tremendous spirit of co-operation and sharing going on by you guys who are the experts to the rest of us.

We use 8080 for HTTP and 1080 for Socks.

Hi, I already posted elsewhere in this forum. I'm using Proxyplus with HTTP-port 4480 and SOCKS5-port 1080. My pocketPC 2003 works fine: I can browse the Internet and other programs that use the PIE-settings work on the Internet without problems.
Only, updating wheather-info in TodayPlus does not work, both in the cradle ande wireless. I hope someone can help!

Sounds like I have a similar setup to you. I have no problem with browsing the net but I get some problems with today plus. I find I get a fatal application exception in todayplus.exe I started a thread about it here but we couldn't workout what went on. I've also tried ezProxy with similar results.

I do find that if I hit refresh again after the fatal application error (and the next and the next...) I'll eventually get all the detail I want. I've had some success with cutting down or out my rss feeds. Now that I've realised that I don't use the rss feeds much I may try cutting them out completely.

Hmm I might try putting in a file ref url to get a bunch of static data for my rss just as a test.

BTW my connection settings are "Work Settings", "Work Settings", "Work" with my proxy set like you

OK. I'm very interested in your progress on this. Keep us updated!
I made no further progress on this issue

Hi,

is it possible to enhance td+ so one can save the proxy server's account and password? The Pocket Internet Explorer has this feature and I can surf the internet at work behind a proxy.

After trying to get the weather info at work some files in the Buffer folder contain an info like:

Code Select Expand

Username authentication is required for using this proxy.
Either your browser does not perform proxy authorization, or your
authorization has failed.
