Hi There,
I've tried SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many settings, and my phone just wont connect to any website, be it a wap site or not. I've confirmed with T-mobile that my free WAP is active. I've searched, read, tried and retried every setting I could find!
My current settings of the moment: Under GPRS settings Name: T-Zones WAP Connects to: The Internet Access Point: wap.voicestream.com User name: (blank) Password: (blank) Primary DNS: 216.155.165.50 Secondary DNS: 216.155.165.50 IP Address: (blank)
Under Data Connections Internet connection: Automatic Work connection: Automatic WAP connection: None Available Secure WAP connection: None Available
I've tried it with proxy, without proxy, with auto detect setting on in IE, and with it off, with a GPRS entry and proxy, well basically I've tried every setup I can find on these boards!
This phone is an unlocked and flashed phone. Could the flashing have something to do with it? I've read a few posts from people where they say nothing they do makes it work, and some say it was so easy to get it to work!
WHAT AM I MISSING?
PUHLEASE help before I loose my mind!!
Thanks!

Under Data Connections have Internet Connections set to T-Zones WAP, all the rest set to none available. Have the auto detect settings in IE checked. Other than that, the settings you have look correct to me.

Tried that, no go.
Couple of questions... When I try to go to a site, I get the Error Unable to Connect Message. I then click OK, then Menu/refresh, and get this message: ALERT: The URL is no preperly formatted. Please verify that you have entered the address correctly.
So, then I tried just entering the web site addresses like this: wap.yahoo.com (no http://), but I get the same alert then as well. I also tried putting the wsp:// before wap sites, with no luck as well! Not sure if there's something wrong with the way I'm entering site names? I see the G above my signal, so it seems that I'm connected?
Thanks!

QUOTE did you try going to a normal web site using such as "http://www.msn.com"? Just tried it, same error. Eric, thanks, but I already contacted T-Mobile, and they tell me the free WAP is activated. It's driving me bonkers...how for some people its so easy, and others its practically impossible! What could it be, I wonder?!?!?

Quick question...could it be a generic firmware flashing issue...for those of you that have it working with these settings...do you have the generic firmware?
THX!

My settings are the same as well except my Secondary DNS is 216.155.165.51, I am almost positive that it doesn't affect anything, and I am using the Generic Firmware. I have no problems connecting to http, https, wsp, or wap. You may want to try not having your data connections set to automatic. Only time I ever have mine on auto is occasionally in the office where I don't get signal. After all it is free wap, so why worry with passthru on the computer. Ever consider a Hard Reset. I had similar problems when I was still with AT&T and the Hard Reset fixed it all up for me, but I would use that as a last resort...

My current CURRENT settings of the moment: Under GPRS settings Name: T-Zones WAP Connects to: The Internet Access Point: wap.voicestream.com User name: (blank) Password: (blank) Primary DNS: 216.155.165.50 Secondary DNS: 216.155.165.51 IP Address: (blank)
Under Data Connections Internet connection: T-Zones WAP Work connection: None Available WAP connection: None Available Secure WAP connection: None Available
Still no go.
I'm considering the hard reset. I've already uninstalled MMS, and haven't done much configuration yet.
I wonder tho, if say I do a hard reset, then it works, then if I want to re-flash it to generic, will it not work again??

Well, some progress is being made, I think. I received a stock alert, and its the first one I've received since getting the phone, when on my previous phone I would get the alert every day. It came through right as I set up the proxy setting. Though maybe it was a coincidence, and I would have received it anyway? Are those alerts sent through a GPRS connection? Cause I'm still not able to visit web sites. Before though, I would get the error within about 5 seconds of it trying to read the web page, now it takes like 2 minutes before I receive the unable to connect message.

Darn, I restarted the phone, and its giving me the error within 5 seconds again!
Does it matter that I have the description name as T-Zones WAP? Does it matter what you put in the description box?
Thanks for your help, by the way!

No such luck! Very frustrating.
Quick question before I try the hard reset...how do you format the web site address when typing it in?
Thanks!

oh, and also, do you think that stock alert meant I was getting somewhere, or should I get those whether or not I have data connections setup?

Wahoo! I have connectivity!
I called T-Mobile, and hashed it out for a while. I let them know I was using an MPX200, and wanted to download some ringtones. I think that even though it said that the free WAP was activated, I think she did something else that worked...maybe it wasn't really activated. Anyhoo, now when I turn the phone on, there is a G in the top bar, when before the G wouldn't show up until I clicked on a web page, and the G would be above the signal indicator.
Now I just can't figure out how to close IE! LOL
My New and Improved WORKING settings:
GPRS CONNECTIONS: Description: T Connects to: The Internet Access Point: wap.voicestream.com User Name: Password: Primary DNS: 216.155.165.50 Secondary DNS: 0.0.0.0 IP Address:
Settings-Data Connections: Internet Connection: T
INTERNET EXPLORER > MENU > OPTIONS > CONNECTIONS: Tick 'automatically Detect Settings'
PHEW!
