Dazed and confused

[DenverDev]

Hello. Please excuse me for this question. I have searced and either I am not asking the correct question or I really oopsed something up.

I am using a Verizon XV-6800 flashed to Cricket. I had full phone, SMS, MMS, EVDO Rev A running with WinMobile 6.1.

I was attempting to set up an Outlook account and I konw that during the course of that, I probably screwed up my modem settings. I still get some connection that now is showing dial up in my comm manager. I cannot get any pages to load on Explorer. It will show connecting (while dialing), the sit on locating....

I believe that somewhere I screwed up a user changeable setting in the Connections page. I have gone through and searched and have proxy set up. I think that I have most of the information correct, (What I really wonder is if the connection number for connecting to EVDO internet is different than the #777 that i have found for the number to call to connect.

I am not going to go into everything (pretty boring), but if I need to I certainly shall.

I dont know anything about the flash that was done, outside that everything was working great, until I tried to set up the Outlook account.

I have a PIM backup on my SD card, and I dont know if the flash holds if I do a hard reset or if I wold still have to manually enter the connections settings. If that's the case (the flash holds but connection settings will need to be set) then I would be back in the same place i am now, but not having anything else working outside of the phone and maybe SMS.

I fully admit that I am not the most tech savvy guy around, but hopefully have provided enough to maybe get some help.

Very much obliged.

since you have a backup of your contacts i would just do a hard reset on your device.... this will just start you fresh on the last rom that was flashed on there so no it doesnt overwrite your rom.

Thanks so much for the help. I learned today that I changed one setting in the proxy server that was the source of all my consternation! Started with the hard re-set and was able to reset the items that have to be user set and VOILA it worked. (Of course I have to give some credit to the local guy who gave me some time and showed me some of the ins and outs).

Thank you D/\SH! You got me going on teh right track with the hard re-set!

Off to see what kind of trouble I can get myself into now!
