hi guys im having trouble setting up my wifi on my xda2 and i wonder if any of you guys can spot where i have went wrong.
I have added the backpack to the xda2
downloaded the latest driver for a symbol cf wireless card
inserted the cf card
then on the xda2 went to settings/connection/connections/edit my vpn servers and put in the ip password etc, not sure if i should have done that?
Now when i press the connections thing at the top of the screen i have 2 lines where the old gprs connection used to be, one says "the internet" with a bar graph with wireless connection, the second line says wifi and connect vpn, if i press on connect vpn it says problems, couldnt verify username and password.
Now i would like to ask as things stand is the internet getting routed through my network as it doesnt seem any faster than using gprs?
thanks in advance

try picking another network in
system connections connections advanted
pick something other then my isp or what ever the gprs connection is called
hi! thx for reply
i tried today in starbucks, but the GPRS seems still comes up, i picked up my work network, tap edit, there are only three option, 1, auto pick 2, O2 active
3, WAP network
when i open IE, it always inform me, connect to O2 active, then Dialed: Then answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection setting and change them if needed, tap setting.
the wifi connection is realy confuse me, dose any one know how to connect to internet in a cafe or airport??
When you've got wifi enabled make sure that Settings->Connections->Network Cards has My Network Card connects to "The Internet".
i can connect to a access point, but when i try to open internet explorer n try to go on a site it always says page not found after few seconds
but when i got bak to setting - connections - network card - the phone is still connected
i also tried using WiFiFoFum, which locates the access point, click on connect but nothing happens.
can anyone tell me where am going all wrong?
Are you definitely getting connected to the access point - are you getting an IP address? (Check your wireless lan IP settings in the "settings/communication" program, and look in the "advanced" tab)
yes am definetly connected, cuz i keep chekin on "network card" when it keeps failin to load up n it says connected there and also get the IP address as well, signal strengh is just about 60%
Did you make sure your connection /network card is set to connect to 'the internet' ?
I found that makes a difference on mine...
it always has been set to "the internet"
I have the same problem guys.
It seems like it's looking for a modem connection and does not use the existing WIFI connection. This s*cks. :x

Have the same problem
I have the exact same problem, any help very welcome.
easy fix, your going to kick yourself. go into the wifi setting where it shows battery setting efficiency and move the bar to the left for "most efficient". it fixed it on my qtek. let me know if it worked
i manage to keep the connection stable after tweaking the wifi settings to performance boost to max instead of power saving mode..
give it a try...
go to settings, select wireless lan, select the power mode tab, slide slider all the way to best performance instead of best battery.
every webpage loads up after i do that
Connection still not working
Hi, moved the slide to best perfomance.
Still can't ping the gateway.
- The manager shows me connected to the network
- The device has a IP
- I can see the device on the router
but still no connection to the other machines or the Internet.
I'm pretty shure I did a config mistake...
Thanks for help
I had the same problem too. I found the answer a few days later after few tries.
I couldn't find the help here, and I wished someone had the answer. Now that I have the answer I am sharing it with you. It's the real answer.
If you have wireless protection, you'll need to set up the connection correctly with your key and your personal WLAN IP address. Once you've setup your WLAN connection on your Wizard correctly, the Wizard will tell you if you are connected or not. That's the easiest part.
Ok, now when you go to IE on your PDA phone, it might just go to a local webpage stored in your PDA memory. When you try to go to an actual internet address like yahoo.com, you get an error message. In that error message, you'll get an option to be linked to a full explanation from Microsoft on how to setup IE properly. You can screw the explanation, and dump this information away for your WLAN setup.
What you really need is to setup your DNS, and alternative DNS. To do that, you'll need to know your DNS, and alternative DNS. If you don't know it, call your ISP, DSL or Cable company to get those information.
To set it up, you go to CONFIGURE NETWORK ADAPTERS >> SDIO WLAN WIRELESS ADAPTER >> NAME SERVERS.
BTW, the Wifi connection is extremely slow. So don't be surprised to be disappointed after all your work. I mean you won't even bother to use it in the bathroom because you'll be done with it, seriously!!!
Good luck.
Hi
I apologise in advance because I'm sure my problem is simply solved but I;ve not used the XDa for a while and I'm back to square 1. I have tried searching for the anser but I think my question is just to basic.
My XDA2 is unlocked and I use a T-Mobile sim in it. The problem I have is with the TOMTOM. When i try to update traffic info on the fly I get a message saying modem hung up (or something similar). It works fine when connecting via the cradle and my PC.
Now I think this is because the XDA2 is trying to connect using the O2 settings when I am on the road.
So my question is how do enter and then I get the XDA2 to use the T-Mobile settings?
EDIT: Sorry forgot to say so far I have done the following:
Start
settings
connections
Add new modem connection
enrtered T-Mobile
selected cellular line (GPRS)
entered access point as general.t-mobile.uk
user name as user
password as wap
Ok and update
seems it is connecting after all. Problem is I have to connect via GPRS first then up date the traffic. It's not picking up the connection if I just update direct from TomTom
any ideas?
I don't think you can do much about that, cause the tomtom, must automatically try to establish the GPRS connection.. like Internet Explorer does, it automatically checks if you have GPRS or Wi-fi connection, if not connected for you automatically. after reading your post. it does not start your GPRS connection, have you look into the settings of the tomtom, to see if he has an option that you can let it connect through your GPRS automatically?
For some reason I can connect to the internet very easily through GPRS (even when roaming), but at home with my own wirelss LAN, I can connect with no problem, but each time I try to access anything on the internet, I get a pop-up stating "Could not locate remote server". I don't have a router, I am using a desktop as the gateway, I am currently accessing the net with my laptop through the same means. All configurations for the LAN appear to be correct, but I must be missing something on the JAMin. In the WiFi settings, I see the LAN, almost full signal - Ad hoc Mode - status is connected - I'm assigned an IP ... seems like everything is in order.
Will one of you wizards point out what I've missed? I know it's probably simple, usually is.
If I'm having trouble connecting a device to a network that has previously been working ok, the first that I do is turn off all network security i.e WEP, MAC address filtering etc. Then reboot the wireless access point/router and your device. If you still can't connect, you can start to blame your device.
Don't think it's a network prob...
Thanks Matterhorn, but my laptop is still connected fine, no problems there... I get the feeling that the PPC's only recognising the GPRS as a valid network for internet access... it works okay when I login to a commercial WiFi network (when I'm in the States) but for some reason on my own network here at home, it logs in, just can't find a server for some reason. The first thing I thought of was the firewall, turned it off and still no luck.
Any other ideas? I thought maybe there was a setting for default AP or connection, but can't find it, nor can I find an appropriate reference in the manual. Ugh!
Resolved!
It would seem my JAMin was trying to access the internet not through the gateway, but through my laptop. As I don't have the laptop setup to share an internet connection, it would allow my JAMin to connect, but that was all. I went in the room where my desktop is, registered on the network there and bingo!
Too simple, should have tried that right away but it didn't occur to me at the time. Thanks for the help anyway Matterhorn!
My wizard has found my home router and has a strong signal but when i come to use msn messenger or ie it will not connect.
Any ideas?
'When connecting to a WiFi hotspot from a Windows Mobile device, you first turn on your wifi then the tower like arrow appears in the Start bar. Near the tower two oppositely pointed arrows keeps moving when connecting. These arrows should stay stationary meaning the network is successfuly connected. If you try using msn when the arrows are still moving, you'll end up seeing the device has no connection!

Carty..
looking at the wifi it is active. i've checked the settings and it has a valid ip address but still will not connect.
but the gprs for t-mobile will let me connect but it costs £££.
Is your wireless router security encrypted??
Mine is.
If I connect to wifi on my device at home, it will ask for my encryption passkey. Then I tell it to save. From that point I can connect at home no problem. Now if I re-flash my rom and forget to enter my passkey, my Wizard will recognize my wireless router, but will not connect until I remember to re-enter my encryption passkey for my router onto my Wizard.
This may or may not be your problem, but I hope it helps.
PS- I created a simple text document with my passkey on it and saved it onto my SD, so now all I have to do is copy and paste the passkey. Makes life much easier.

I set the network up and the only security on the network is MAC control.
It will not issue an IP address without a valid, recognised MAC.
My Trinity will access the wireless fine here but the Wizard won't.
Its issued with an IP, Gateway and DNS servers but won't access the net.
Same deal at another house where the network is WEP encrypted and the passkey is known.
I have the same problem. My Blue Angel works fine with WiFi on WEP, but my Wizard does not. If I disable all encryption, it works just fine. But I don't want to get rid of the encryption. Any ideas?
