I have installed the latest 1.0.560 version on my O2 Atom (WM5) and am unable to update the weather using a proxy server connection. I have tried every connection setting option without success. When connected to my corporate network via ActiveSync 4.5 (USB connection) it fails to automatically or manually update the weather, with the following report for test connection:

"Connection Internet established"
"The weather for ... failed with error: Weather update failed. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"
or:
"Connection is failed...HTTP status=407
However whilst still connected via ActiveSync I am able to select Menu> About and click on the link to www.elecont.com for which it goes to the website without any problem.

My corporate network uses a proxy server and my internet explorer runs fine on my O2 Atom when connected via activesync. My O2 Atom's network management is set-up with a Proxy server which has a HTTP proxy & port and a Socks4 proxy & port.

What settings do I need make to get it to work using a proxy server connection ?

Do I use "Internet" "Internet then Network" "Network then Internet" or " Corporate Network" so that I may either connect via my corporate network when at my desk or via GPRS when mobile or do I have to make a manual connection setting change each time ? None of these seem to work for me ?

Do I use the HTTP proxy or SOCKS4 proxy ?

PS: It updates the weather forecast fine when I am mobile via GPRS or when connected to the internet via activesync on my Home PC. I just can't seem to get it to update the forecast when connected to my Corporate network on my Work PC.

Problem is now solved - all connections are now working perfectly !!!

I fixed the problem by identifying my IP address & proxy server type information at http://www.ip-adress.com/whatismyip/ - I also needed to enter the proxy address number rather than it's name.

I found "Internet then Network" connection with HTTP proxy(connect alive) to work best for me.

Thanks again, Elecont weather just keeps on getting better

My problem has once again returned now that our Corporate Network Proxy Server has just been upgraded with increased password & security features. I have entered the new password and new IP address which has restored my PDA's Internet Explorer access via proxy server.

However now when connected via ActiveSync, I can no longer get the Elecont Weather application to automatically or manually update the forecast, although within the Elecont Weather apllication by selecting Menu> About and clicking on the link to www.elecont.com, it does go to the website okay.

The error message is: Weather update failed. HTTP status=407.

I have even downloaded the latest version 1.0.750 p but it also has the same error.

I have set the Connection as "Internet then Network" and Proxy as "HTTP proxy (connect alive)". I also tried all the other setting options without success - perhaps if this application had a setting to automatically detect proxy server settings from the Connection Manager (as is done for Internet Explorer) ?

Could it be that this weather application's connection manager now needs to specify a domain for the ISA server proxy authentication (in addition to username & password) ?

Your advice would be greatly appreciated as to where this issue may be and how I may fix it (my unit is a WM5.0 / O2 Xda Atom).
