Ive been trying to work out Opera and intRAnet access too and i think Ive worked out why it will not work.

Opera Mini uses its own proxy to speed things up for mobile devices and will use it no matter what and there doesn’t appear to be an option to disable it. What this means if your using BES, is that the traffic will go through the BES proxy and then to the Opera Mini proxy for processing thus internal intranet access is not possible as the OperaProxy cant access your internal resources.

You can check this by using whatismyipaddress.com (whatismyip.com is a different site that wont tell you about proxys) and you should see that the ip is that of your BES servers public interface but also that it came through the opera proxy.

So basically the traffic flow looks like this…
request:
BB -> BES -> OperaProxy -> website
responce:
website -> OperaProxy -> BES -> BB

Thanks

use the opera browser the mds from the bes server ?

I have made tests and when i stopped the mds connections service on the bes i could not go to the internet with the opera browser. i also changed the service at the opera browser from http to socket but without success.
Then i thougt when the opera browser use the mds i could connect to intranet sites at my company. I try it but also without success. i could not open the intranet sites from the company.

Use the opera browser the mds - yes or not - when they use it why i cant access to intranet sites ?
I used the default it policy.

Thanks.
Bye Robert
