Hi All,

new to the forum, hopefully I'm posting in the right place!

I've recently upgraded from a 7290 to an 8700g Blackberry (on O2- UK)

I am the system admin for our company BES (Version 4.0)

I have had Blackberry Browser working on my 7290, but since I changed to my nw 8700g I am unable to access anything.

I get the "Authentication Required" screen for the network, which I put in my correct details, but then it just sit's there & eventually comes back saying "Connection Timout"

Is there anything I need to change on the BES for this to work? I have had a look, but can't see anything.

Thanks

If you are not aware of it, there is a BES Admin Corner Forum here on BBForums that might get a faster response than here. I don't know if this is an 8700 problem or BES so I can't help but just wanted you to know about the other forum.

Thanks, I'm not sure if it a BES problem or a Device problem either to be honest.

I'll wait to see if I ge a respose from here first, don't want to start posting the same thing in 2 placs- don't want to get into trouble, lol

Cheers anyway

Just thought I'd best reply to say I've fixed this problem (Just in case others have the same problem)

I had setup our BES for internal "Intranet" access only, so no access to the Internet. Internet access was needed to download some style sheet's apparently- I set this up & it all started working fine. Once the style sheets were downloaded I turned off internet access & it carried on working.

This is not a problem any more, as the "powers that be" have allowed internet access via blackberry's, at last!
