How to set "MY WORK NETWORK"??

[Mike Nicol]

Hi all

I'm writing an app in VS.NET 2005 for the Pocket PC 2003. I've gotten all
to work nicely, and it's humming along great.

I've even got it to re-install .netCF2 and the app on cold boot. One
problem though.

When it cold boots, the default under
Start->Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks, is "My
ISP" for "Programs that automatically connect ot the Internet should connect
using:".

My app uses a HTTPWebRequest to query our Intranet for some information.
While the setting is "My ISP", I can't get a connection, but if I set it to
"My Work Network", it works like a charm.

Now for the Question:
How do I set this setting programatically? I don't want the user to have to
fiddle with the System Settings once it is deployed. This device will be
used by a lot of low-level staff and should be instantly repairable (i.e.
cold-boot to restore to operational state) if for some reason something goes
wrong.

Any responses would be great, I've spent quite a bit of time online looking
for answers, but nothing quite right has come up.

Thanks
Mike

Try sending the following XML by P/Invoking the DMProcessConfigXML() native
API:

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="CM_ProxyEntries">
<!-- Remove default proxy entry linking "My ISP" to "The Internet" -->
<nocharacteristic type="HTTP-{ADB0B001-10B5-3F39-27C6-9742E785FCD4}" />

<!-- Create null proxy (i.e. direct link) between "My Work Network" and
"The Internet" -->
<characteristic type="HTTP-{18AD9FBD-F716-ACB6-FD8A-1965DB95B814}">
<parm name="Type" value="0"/>
<parm name="SrcId" value="{18AD9FBD-F716-ACB6-FD8A-1965DB95B814}"/>
<parm name="DestId" value="{436EF144-B4FB-4863-A041-8F905A62C572}"/>
<parm name="Proxy" value="new-inet:1159"/>
<parm name="Enable" value="1"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
