Check the connection and try again later." does anyone kno how to solve this problem??

You got me confused, the internet doesn't work at all or it is just your youtube player that doesnt work? Are u able to go to internet explorer and open any pages?

In case you internet does not work at all, First thing go to START > SETTINGS > CONNECTIONS > CONNECTIONS:

There you should have one or two connections, I dont know how the flash person created the connections but look for the connection that has written in blue underneath it's name the following:

Add a new modem connection
Add a new VPN server connection
Edit my proxy server
Manage Existing Connections << CLICK IN THIS TAB ON YOUR PHONE

Then Click Edit...

First Page will show your Connection Name and Cellular Line as yor modem, Click NEXT
Number to dial should be #777
NEXT
Username is your 10 digit phone number @mymetropcs.com
Password is : metropcs

HIT FINISH

now at the bottom click on Proxy Settings

you should have all thbe boxes checked and the proxy server as wap.metropcs.net

Click ADVANCED

all the protocols ( HTTP, WAP, SECURE WAP AND SOCKS ) shouls show wap.metropcs.net:3128 ( the port is 3128 )

Hit OK at top of the page 2 times, you are back on the main connections page, now at the bottom you have two options, Tasks and Advanced.

Go to ADVANCED

Click SELECT NETWORKS

you should have your metro Connection ( whatever the name is ) at the first Box.

Click ok and try. If doesnt work, soft reset. If it doesnt work still, Let us know. We will try other things. Good luck

hey!
im having a similar problem and follow the directions here but dont seem to be getting anywhere. i followed all directions but wasnt sure what u meant by "your metro Connection (whatever the name is)." The only options i have in netwrok management is "My ISP" and "My Work Network." i know that i am close to figuring this thing out. i got the 1X to show up at the top of the screen but i get getting an "error 37."
i appreciate you helping!

Please Help!!!!
I have entered the settings to get my internet but sometimes it connects and sometimes it doesnt. It keeps saying my username and password is incorrect. So I have to go and change it all the time. I have the password set as metropcs but when I go in to check it its changed to something else. I dont know if its looking at something else and over riding the metro pcs.

Also, I've been trying to get mms working but it's not working either. I dont know if I deleted and added keys wrong in the registry.
