Hello Cricket users, I want to add one more use for this endless list of enhacements for our cricket wireless devices. Recently i flashed to Psiky 4 which is working great for me except with funambol ( since it is WinMobile 6.5----Ill post a fix for that when I know it----) The main reason I flashed from Psyki 3 (BTW, PERFECT ROM) its because I was stoked by the new Manilla 2.1 interface that comes with the integrated Mobile Wi-Fi router for tethering (internet sharing) through Wi-Fi, this is a great tool, but as almost everything being a cricket user, it does not work straight away and it needs configuration, which in fact turned out to be REAL EASY. When I first tried it ,it created the wireless connection and my laptop was able to see it right away, but when I connected to it I had local access only ( internet not working ). But after some reading and help from a friend (thank sgreatkoolniko for pointing in the right direction) the tweaking turned out to be quick and easy, no cabs installed!! (At least with Psiky 4). So, to the point: Using Mobile Wi-FI router interface in connection manager ( found in all manilla 2.1 ROMS ) set up router by putting a name for your network and a 10 digit WEP key and choose Cricket Mobile Web as connection Method. After doing this look for the network on your COMPUTER and connect to it, it'll connect right away but you will not have internet connection.

After connecting open up internet explorer, go to tools--->internet options--->connections and go to LAN settings. In that screen, check "Automatically detect settings" and "Use a proxy server for your LAN. Where it asks you for the address enter: wap.mycricket.com and 8080 as the port. Hit OK and whoooooooalaaaaaaa! Cricket Wireless Web on your Computer.

I guess that all of this works too with other Wifi internet sharing programs such as WMWifiRouter. Sometimes it turns out that the things that look more difficult have a lame fix, only commonsense.

So to make long story short, ENABLE PROXY SETTINGS, ADD THE CRICKET PROXY SERVER & PORT for your browser.
