I dont know, if this is a problem I have in particular, or, because RIM or my Wireless providers service-books are wrong for this version, or, if this is just a BETA problem, but, I cannot use BIS for Surfing or any Network connection. BES, WiFi, Wap works.
Result: if out of WiFi coverage, you cannot use the Browser.

So, If someone has the same problem:
Go into the policy Manager
Duplicate the used policy,
In the Browser section, under "MDS Browser Domains"
enter a "*"
Save, and apply the policy to the user.

After this, all Internet will be handeld by the MDS browser over the BES server.

I didn't have to do this when i upgraded my 9700 device to the 6.0 leak. I'm able to browse on 2G/3G and Wifi. Both before and after BES activation.

Was this carrier specific? I'm on T-Mobile US and the device is on our BESx environment.

[nobody7290]

Yes, this seems to be carrier specific. If the carrier does not have the correct service books for some function for OS6, some things wont work. Maybe, no BIS mail or, no BIS Internet.

[nobody7290]

To clarify this:
This is a workaround which works only for Blackberry owners which run their own Blackberry Enterprise Server. If you have only BIS servicebooks, you cannot use it.

This workaround will force all browser traffic through the BES connection, restoring the previous MDS Browser functionality.
(in OS6, by default, the MDS browser is only used if you surf to a private network address or, to URLS in you company network)

I'm on T-Mobile US and BES as well, but can not get browser (on leaked OS6 for 9700) get working over wifi - works fine over 2G/3G, but as soon as I'm with-in my wireless network range - no internet browsing from the device ("Unable to connect to the selected Mobile Data Service, please try again later"). At the same time UMA works fine, WAP browser works fine over wifi... (I do not have MDS service enabled on BES. In OS5.x in options for the browser I was able to select "default browser", can't find this option under OS6, am I missing something?)

Any thoughts?

If you go in to the connection menu, click left, choose "troubleshoot", then Wifi Diagnostics. Is there anything missing like the default gateway or DNS server ?
also try the nslookup command to lookup a known host, or try to ping a host which answers a ping ( www.apple.com will answer a ping).

Wifi diagnostics or Service Status all indicate that data connection present, UMA is active. Ping gets response from apple.com. Nslookup resolves as expected as well.
I'm certain its up to browser config/service book (btw tried restoring service books that I backed up before upgrading - no difference) in OS5 if I went into options with-in the browser, I had a choice between Blackberry (MDS), Internet and Wap browsers as a default browser - after software upgrade it was always defaulting to MDS (Blackberry browser) and I experienced the same symptoms as now (except browser didn't work at all regardless on connectivity method), after changing it to Internet Browser all worked well... Problem is I do not see an option in OS6 to choose the default browser.

Additional observations: 3rd party applications that rely on data connections work on 2g/3g & wifi (driveSafly, Google maps/voice/search, blackberry AppWorld)

Maybe, your admin has disabled the Wifi Browser ?
Dont know, what happens then, after the upgrade to OS6, because OS6 will try first Wifi and, if this does not work/is forbidden, it might give up.

Thank you for pointing me towards that thread, very useful stuff. I added OS6 specific policy rules to BES, verified policy settings, all appears to be set correctly... but still no luck with browser over wifi. Will dig deeper tomorrow.

Resolved:

I set the following item in IT Policy to "False" Disable Wi-Fi Direct Access to Blackberry Enterprise Server

Set to True to disable direct access to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server from Wi-Fi networks using a direct BlackBerry Router connection. Set to False to allow direct access to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server from Wi-Fi networks. The default value is carrier-dependent; some carriers might turn off Wi-Fi access to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server by default.
Note, in order to disable Wi-Fi access to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server using BlackBerry Infrastructure, use the "BlackBerry Infrastructure Wi-Fi Access Mode" IT policy or Wi-Fi configuration setting. By using these settings together, you can completely turn off Wi-Fi access to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and/or BlackBerry Internet Service.

And set "Allow Browser" to "True" (it was not specified and for some reason default settings "true" does not apply to OS6 - it needs to be set to "true" and everything is working now.

Still doesn't makes any sense since first policy does not affect Internet connectivity, that policy item should impact how BB accesses BES and not public internet. And second policy item even more confusing - since browser should be enabled by default if not prohibited, and it worked when not on Wifi... Oh well, important thing is that I got a fully functional BB back

[nobody7290]

Great that your internet is working again.
The amount of policies which you can tweak seems endless.
I just looked up the item from your post, and noticed, that there is an item where you can allow a user to forward a WiFi profile per email/pin to another Blackberry user.

edit:
Mhm, turned that on, but I see no option to send a WiFi profile.... anony tried that with success ?

Delete the "Blackberry internet browsing service 2" entry in the Service Book. Worked for me perfectly! You may need to do that every time the device is rebooted though.

Hummm.... Something wierd happen and I just want to share it. After I deleted the "Blackberry internet browsing service 2" It was working sweet but I thought I should do a hard reset just to see what would happen. After the reset the internet conection on the browser through BIS stopped working as expected so I went back to the service books and for my surprise there was no "Blackberry internet browsing service 2" but 2 "Blackberry internet browsing service". :O
Not sure what to do I decided to delete one and see what would happen, as I did the browser still wouldnt connect through BIS so I decided deleting the other one left and get new Service Books to replace both. After I got the new service books I decided trying conecting browser through BIS again and guess what... Worked just perfect. Now I check on my service books and I have both "Blackberry internet browsing service" and "Blackberry internet browsing service 2" and its all working good even after many hard resets all works fine.

I hope it helps those with same or similar situation.

[nobody7290]

about the same happend to me. Also, the Search function of my browser no works properly (I now can search again with google/wikipedia et. al).

This possibly means, my Carrier and your Carrier have upgraded the Service books to something compatible with OS6.
