I-Mate PDA2k Wi-Fi -- SENAO wireless Access point

Hi guys,
I don’t know you guys can help me or not well My problem is
I’m trying to connect my I-Mate PDA2k to Senao Wireless Assess point my access point connected with my network switch .My access point showing WAN light and on my mobile also showing “W” its mean PDA getting signals but I can’t access internet from my PDA.
I don’t know how to configure access point I took access point without catalog and serial cord I don’t we use serial cord or not.
In simple words I want 2 access internet without GPRS.
Information:
SENAO
2-port switch wireless router printer server
SL-2511SR PLUS(F200)
MAC 005018578BO
I-Mate PDA2k Microsoft
OS windows 2003 CE
Local network
IP Class Local = 192.168.0.XX
Internet Sharing = ON

Look for help on configuring your the Senao web site for configuring your wireless router: www.senao.com.tw. I have an access point and it's working like a charm with my Blue Angel.
If you don't have a DHCP server or you have not configured your wireless router as a DHCP server, follow these procedures on your PDA:
Tap Start, Settings, Connections (tab), Network Cards (icon), Network Adapters (tab), tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Etherne....
Then check: Use specific IP address. You'll need to set values for IP Address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway. You IP address should be (quoting you) something like 192.168.0.xxx and subnet mask is probably 255.255.255.0
Also be sure to tap on Name Servers, and fill in the info there, you'll need a DNS address to access the Internet.
Finally, to configure your proxy server, go back to Connections, Advanced, Select Networks, and create a new connections and configure the proxy server accordingly, if it exists. If you're supposed to connect thru SecureNAT (ie Default gateway), you can simply ignore this step, or create a network profile that "connects you to the Internet" without specifying a proxy server.

WIFI connected, but can't open webpage

I have opened WIFI and connected to my NETGEAR AP, my pda appears in AP's connecting list. But while I open PIE I can't access any website. It always says "Locating", and "The page can not be found" after a while.
Below is my configuration, any problem?
1. Connections -> advanced -> Select Networks -> both are set to "MY WORK NETWORK" -> Edit... -> Proxy Settings -> check the option "This network connects to the Internet".
2. Network cards -> wireless -> in the found AP SSID, set connects to "Internet"
Network cards -> Network Adapters -> My network card connects to "The internet"
I have tried several different configs, but none works.
I am really crazy about it!!

Sounds like a DNS problem....
How are you assigning IP and DNS settings to your phone? Manually, or DHCP from the Netgear?

I just leave it "Use server-assigned IP address". When wifi connected, i can see my pda address is "192.168.1.2" and the AP is "192.168.1.1"
confused...
My laptop works well with WIFI at the same time.

Ive had this with a few DHCP servers in routers, half of the ones I use allocate IP fine but fail to send DNS server details.
Leave IP address allocation as Auto and manually enter your DNS servers. That should fix it.

if you've got an ip address in the phone, try typing the IP address of a server, eg. microsoft, in the browser....if it connects, then it proves it's a DNS problem.....then, as suggested....add the DNS settings manually...

Thanks Britman and Vap. It works now after I fill in the DNS server in wireless adapter. I should have remembered this.

omg...im having the same problem now. i know i had my wifi working because it worked out of the box and i was using agile messenger earlier today.
my settings are the same. what happened? i tried putting the DNS server in with no luck.

WiFi on Wizard
Try set "Power Mode" in "WiFi Settings" on Best Performance". To me WORK.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
wow, you are good. heres a virtual pat on the back

Indeed, although I'm very happy with the wifi in the Wizard in general (considering size and power limitations), it's certainly a long way shy of the signal strength of the internal broadcom adapter in my laptop.

Same problem
I am also having this same problem, but all this DNS stuff is a bit over my head. On the settings on my wizard I see the ip address, and the mac address ( under wi-fi settings -> advanced tab). I logged into my router and went to the DHCP page. On that page, it shows that DHCP is enabled and if I click on the Clients button, it shows my device with the coresponding ip and mac. On the DHCP page, I can enter DNS numbers, but where do I get these numbers?

The DNS settings (servers) are provided by your ISP
Depending on the router, if you look at the general or status pages, you should see the DNS ip addresses. Or, if you already have a windows pc connected on the same router, simply type 'ipconfig /all' at a coomand prompt - this will show you the addresses.

So what happens when you're at an airport or somewhere public with wifi? How do you know what the DNS settings are to enter them?

Most airport/public access locations with wifi setups normally have their DHCP servers configured with the DNS settings all in place (ie....nothing for you to do)....
However, some places will require the user to enter some information (for example, dns settings, WEP key, etc)

Similar issue
Can you disable the attempt by the phone to go to Cigular GPRS when you try to use a browser?

USB to wifi dongle

I've got a USB to WiFi dongle , D-LINK DWL-G122 , and I want to use with my PC so i wiil be able to connect my JASJAM anywhere in my home. I've intall it on my PC with no problems. Do someone know how to config the PC ? Do I need to config anything on the JASJAM ? I have no router involves .

You need to configure ad-hoc connection

Ad Hock is done , but still no connection
I'v done so but i'm getting No connection at Wireless Network Connection 3.
Also Windows Small Office Network Wizad mention that . Any ideas how to make my D-LINK DWL-G122 connect ?

Since you've got no router in your set up, you need to set your phone's wireless network connection to only use ad-hoc connections too - go to Start | Settings | Connections tab | Wi-Fi. On that screen, change the "Networks to Access" option to "All available" or "Only computer to computer".
Then you'll need to give your phone a fixed IP address in the same range as your PC; tap the Network Adapters tab, then tap the adapter that is highlighted (it will mention 802.11 and Wi-Fi in the name somewhere!). Tap on the "Use specific IP address" and then enter one in the box below - if your PC is using e.g. 192.168.0.2, then set your phone to 192.168.0.22, set the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 and the default gateway to your PC's IP address (you can find your PC's IP address by opening a command prompt and type "ipconfig" - in case you didn't know!).
That should get you most of the way there....can't think of anything else myself, but I'll post again if anything else springs to mind
Mark.

OK - it is working now
Thnx for your help

wifi problem

ok heres the deal... i have a MDA flashed with the software from att for the 8125 everything works great except when i turn wifi on, i can connect to the network but cant ever get a page to work. does anyone have any suggestions????? please help

Is this happening on any network or your home network?
Check this... go to Settings - Connections - Network Cards. Make sure the WLAN Adapter is set to connect to the internet. Then tap the WLAN Adapter and make sure IP Address is set to Server Assigned then in Name Servers you don't have anything. If any of these is different, change it to the above.

Yeah. I have the same problem. I have wifi pci asus, the signal is good. I have Lan tru router and now bridged connection. I set the ip, mask and gateway which are in the status of the brudge. And the internet explorer and opera wont load pages.?!??! dns isnt set.
The network adapter is sdio wlan.., and the connection is my work network in connection > connections > advanced >select networks.
i use wm6, nbd 8.0
What could be the problem???

it is home network and all other wifi locations

i know there is a problem with secured networks, especially with wpa encryption. try to remove the encryption and see how it goes....

I have removed all encription. I tried preety much everithing and it doesnt work. All other free wifi networks work just fine, i can surf on internet.

what router do you have? i know that i could not connect to a 3com router with the wizard with any rom i tried.
try using a defined ip address and dns, meaning no dhcp. use a real dns addresses and not the default gateway...

Wi-fi authenticated but not working.

Hi, I recently got my first WM device with Wi-fi (T-Mobile Vario III). I've been trying to get Wi-fi working with my network, but it doesn't seem to want to play!
I'm using WPA with AES, and using 802.1X authentication (my access point connects to my FreeRADIUS server). The same Linux box that runs the RADIUS server also runs the DHCP server for the network.
I'm using EAP-TLS authentication for the network (I based the setup for the network on this http://wiki.freeradius.org/WPA_HOWTO).
I've installed my root CA cert and intermediate CA cert (not covered in the howto, but I prefer to use and intermediate 'working' CA "just in case" ) on the Vario III. I also generated a client certificate/key for the Vario and installed it successfully on the device.
I then went on to Settings->Connections->Wi-fi and chose to add a new connection and did the following:
1) Entered the network name (SSID) and selected the "This is a hidden network" checkbox (also set it to be connecting to "The Internet" - I had to go to the network adapters tab as well and set the wi-fi adapter to be "The Internet" from "Work")
2) Selected authentication to be WPA and Data Encryption to be AES.
3) Selected the EAP type to be "Smart Card or Certificate" and went to properties. In the properties box I was shown the only personal certificate I have (i.e. the client certificate that I just installed for network authentication)
I then connect to the network, and get a User Name/Domain dialog (I don't really understand why). This is pre-populated with my name, but I've tried the following in this box (the only way to get it back after having entered something appears to be a hard reset - but there must be another way?):
1) The default provided (i.e. my name)
2) The CN for the personal certificate
3) Nothing
In each case I leave the 'Domain' field empty. With all three of the above the FreeRADIUS server reports successful authentication and the Vario III appears to be connected to the network. If I go to Settings->Connections->Wireless LAN, on the Advanced tab it says that it is 'Associated to network'
The problem is that even though I'm connected to the network and have been allocated an IP address (I have my DHCP server assign a specific IP address to specific MAC addresses), I cannot connect to any websites - I don't have anything over than Pocket IE installed on the device yet. I can't even connect to the management page for the AP that the Vario III is connected to.
This setup works perfectly from a WinXP box.
Has anyone got any ideas on what could be going wrong, or advise on how I can troubleshoot? Anyone know if there are logs stored on the device for wireless connectivity (either a log file or something like the event viewer in XP)?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I have WiFi setup and running on my device, XDA Orbit, using WPA and AES.
First of all, whilst inside the Network Adapters tab, make sure that:
'My network card connects to': WORK
Secondly, in 'tap adapter to modify settings' you'll need to click on a particular network adapter card inorder to configure it.
In my case, I chose the SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter. I then clicked the radio button 'Use specific IP address' and configured the IP address of my device, exactly as it is assigned in my Netgear wireless router.
If you haven't assigned a specific IP address to your device, just click the radio button next to 'Use server-assigned IP address'.
On the 'Advanced' tab of Wireless LAN, mine also reads 'Associated to network' as the status. It also has the MAC address of my device, followed by its IP address. The three fields were all filled up automatically, by the router. I never filled this up. However, I configured the router with the necessary details.
Troubleshooting:
1. Ping your device from your PC or notebook.
The idea is to be able to see if there is communication between your router and the device.
Example: at c:\>ping ......... (.....being the name or IP address of your device as entered in the router)
2. If you have a firewall, disable it now and ping again. This step is necessary because the firewall could be stopping your device from connecting to the router if it is not configured in the firewall's access list.
3. Go to your PC/notebook and type: ipconfig /all at the command prompt.
Hopefully, you should see the device's name come up as well as other parameters, including its MAC address.
4. Ensure that the device is allowed access to your internal network and configured as such, inside the router, using MAC address filtering. This means that you MUST ensure that the correct MAC address of the device has been entered.
Summary:
1. Configure your device inside the router - name/mac address or name/IP address
2. Configure your firewall to accept connections from the device
3. Ping the device as well as the router
4. If you have another computer, try and see if you can connect to the router from there.
5. Ensure that the router, PC or PPC are all on the same subnet. This is crucially important for communication amongst the devices.
By typing ipconfig /all, you will be able to determine as to whether all the computers as well as the PPC on your network are on the same subnet.
Many a network have failed through this problem.
Hope this helps.
