Hi All, I recently added the tzones plan and using the proxy to get full internet. The only problem is that i cannot logon to my im+ screen names and my email no longer is able to send/recieve. If you have any solutions, I thank you in advance.

Only AIM works for me on IM+. In AIM settings, they say use port 110, but only port 995 works for me.

how do you set up a proxy on the wing? I searched and found this thread http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...change+accounts
However, when I go to GPRS I don't have the option to select T-Mobile Data.

I have found a screen where I can set up a proxy server, but it asks things different than those listed in that thread.

I am not a complete phone newb, just new to the HTC. Can anyone provide any help?

Thanks

These instructions have been posted before (I know, because I posted them) but I'll tell you what I did.

start menu - settings - connections - connections
under the heading "T-Mobile Data" select edit my proxy server
check the box marked "This network connects to the Internet"
and the box marked "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"
in the box beneath "Proxy server:" enter 216.155.165.50
click advanced
The only thing you have to change here is make sure the proxy for http is set to 216.155.165.50:8080 (you'll just have to change the last part to 8080 from 1080 if I remember right)
click ok
click ok again
click ok a third time
click on the x
now you should be back on the today screen with a working proxy

There are limitations, IM programs don't work (some people have gotten AIM to work in some of them by changing the port as someone else on this thread said). AvantGo can sync, as long as you first connect with a different program (even when set to use the proxy I've never been able to get it to actually make the connection, but it will use an already open connection). There are other programs that don't work, but I'm too tired to think of any more. There are limits to how big a file you can download as well (I've heard 1 meg).

Good luck
