Avantgo Mobile Software - Palm OS

CONFIGURING MY AVANTGO FOR PROXY SERVERS During installation, My AvantGo client software looks at how your desktop browser is configured and configures itself the same way. If your browser settings are incorrect, you want to connect to a different proxy server, or My AvantGo is unable to find the information, you may need to add these settings using one of two methods: with Autodetect or manually. Use Autodetect to configure your proxy settings if your desktop computer accesses the Internet through a proxy server and if all servers you access with My AvantGo are accessed through a proxy server. Windows To configure proxy server settings: 1) Click Start | Programs | AvantGo | AvantGo Connect. The AvantGo Connect Control Panel appears. 2) Click the Connection tab. 3) Click Use Microsoft Internet Explorer proxy settings. 4) Click OK. Note: The "Microsoft Internet Explorer proxy settings" option is available if AvantGo Connect detects Microsoft Internet Explorer has proxy settings configured. Use this option if you want AvantGo Connect to use the same settings. To configure proxy server settings using Autodetect: 1) Click Start | Programs | AvantGo | AvantGo Connect. The AvantGo Connect Control Panel appears. 2) Click the Connection tab. 3) Click Autodetect now. 4) Click Done. Click Detect Again to retry. 5) Click OK. Occasionally, no channels are received after a successful sync. It may be that your browser proxy setting is incorrect or that AvantGo Connect is unable to find the information. If this happens you will have to configure the connection manually. To configure proxy server settings manually: 1) Select Start | Programs | AvantGo | AvantGo Connect. The AvantGo Connect Control Panel appears. 2) Click the Connection tab. 3) Click Use these proxy settings. 4) Click Change. The Advanced Connection Settings panel appears. Fill in the HTTP, SOCKS & Secure proxy address with the pppshar pc IP address and the appropriate port. pppshar default ports are - 80 for HTTP, 1080 for SOCKS and 443 for SECURE. Macintosh To configure a proxy server connection: 1) Click Apple Menu | Control Panels | AvantGo Connect. 2) Click Connection. 3) Click Change. The Edit Connection Settings dialog appears. Fill in the appropriate proxy information as mentioned above.
