Wireless Problem

Done a search on various site but still no joy.
Just got a o2 XDA Mini S yesterday.But I cannot get it to connect to my wireless network at home.Its an open network, with a laptop,3 PC's,2 xbox's accessing it various times of day.All connect no problem.
My xda says my network is available,but cannot connect to it. Do I need to put in IP addresses in manually ? On the network cards section, it the SDIO WLAN wireless adapter that is used ?
Have tried allsorts,

First Question,
Is your WiFi router set to DHCP mode. If so then check that your device is also set to DHCP mode. If not change router to DHCP check that all your other devices are set to DHCP then you should automatically be allocated an IP address. A useful utility is WiFi Companion.
This scans for available networks and allows you to connect. it will also show you the IP address you have been assigned.
You could assign an IP address manually but this will have to be changed every time you walk on to another network. DHCP is better.

Thanks for the info DW, it is my router,popped round a mates last night and it connected to his network ok.
Will check what you said and the firewall

not sure by what you mean exactly by open network.
but are you using MAC address filtering?
when I got the Sony Laptop, I was so eager to get it all setup etc, that I forgot bout the filtering, it would see the network, but refused to connect.

I'm having the same problem. My Exec can see the network but not connect. I investigated it a bit more and for some reason it keeps trying to use the same IP address as my laptop. It also cannot connect to the net to update Avant Go when it's syncing (via my laptop).
I've tried connecting with all other devices switched off, to avoid the IP address conflict, but still cannot connect to the internet.
I'm pretty much stumped.

Setting the Wireless power setting for best performance was the trump for me.
On my Vario - Settings - Connections - Wireless LAN - Power Mode

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave it a try but unfortunately it didn't help.
If my laptop is switched off my Exec can connect to my D-Link router, but I cannot access any internet resources. I presume that somewhere in the settings is the solution but I can't find it.

EXCELLENT db44!!!
For some reasons setting wireless "best performance" wortked for me too. Wizard (QTEK 9100 - gray market I guess as QTEK did not register on their site for me). I will still try Opera too.
Kind regards,
Oleg.

same thing happened to my qtek. it detected the network but could not connect and sometimes when it got connected, i still couldn't surf the net. is there anything in the settings that i'm missing? i also tried to enter the IP address manually but no luck either.

My O2 XDA Mini arrived yesterday. It sees my wireless network (as well as two others in my neighborhood) but cannot/will not connect. I've tried everything I've read above - which confirms I'm on the right trail, but...
The D-Link DI-624 wireless router is in DCHP mode. I've dropped all security for connection trials. I've put the MAC address of the XDA in the router, just in case. I cannot find the IP address of the Mini (how do you do that?), but have tried with and without allowing the router to assign it a random and an assigned IP address. My router does NOT have the default (198.162, etc, etc IP address.) so I've been careful not to blindly follow standard instructions. Of course, I have tried with specific IP addresses, default gateway (router), etc, etc.
One clue is that after trying for a long time to connect to the networks it finds, I got one error message from the XDA saying it could not be assigned an IP address from the network(s). Good clue - wish I know what it means.
There are only limited settings to check on the XDA, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something on the router. Any ideas? Many thanks.

Statis IP not working on Wizard

So I never had an issue connecting using DHCP. Then I changed my network so everything has a static IP address. I assigned an IP address on my T-Mobile MDA and now it will not connect to the internet. It does however seem to be connected to the wireless router.
When I use IE or Opera it looks for the host then a get an error message. Occasionally it will look up the site and downlaod the webpage but this takes a very long time. Even when I try to connect to my router using the IP address, it does not work therefore its not the DNS entries.
I changed the SDIO adaptor to use a static IP. Should I change one of the other adaptors too?
I have the wireless G hack enabled but even tried with just wireless B.

have u checked and made sure that u have the gateway address inplace? in the connections page check if your proxy server is set up correctly. also make sure ip is within range for the router to use. hope that helps.

DNS no server specified error on all wifi activity - HTC Wizard

i must have jacked something up. first i could not get a wifi connection at home, then i flashed the firmware on the device and asked it to use the mac to connect with static IP and now the pda browsers cannot get any DNS info
netfront states no dns server specified and wireless router log states DHCP Discover no response.
must be a setting somewhere i'm missing.
wireless laptop and wired pc working fine

you can really just use the ip of a known dns from the device too
all dns servers should respond from all devices asking for the ip given the hostname

setup
cable modem to wired linksys router (DHCP on) - DI-524 wireless router connected to wired router (DHCP on)
when you say 'known IP from device' you mean the wireless router? Do you mean have the wireless router give the PDA my ISP's DNS IP?
if so what happens to my ability to browse the LAN since the devices IP is now out of the scope of my LAN

SORRY I THINK I MEAN the error is
<< DNS Discovery no repsonse. >>>
basically no DNS server found when browsing with the PDA when connected to WLAN.
PDA is ok browsing when I connect to work routers. I'm getting IP ok from home wireless dlink router but router cannot give the PDA a DNS server.
ps- wireless laptop ok for DNS connecting to the same wireless router so i'm thinking the firmware update made the dlink not like the PDA

update- i think it's the device and a setting.
now i cannot get to the internet through netfront or ie at work connected to wifi router. same error
DNS no server is specified

can get anything by IP, is wm5 wifi challenged for internet access?
any takers?

Help me to setup wlan enabled adsl modem. [ Solved ]

Hello,
Yesterday I got a wlan/wifi enabled adsl modem/router for my broadband connection which uses telephone line. I wanted to use the wifi output given by the modem, for my ppc in my home for internet. Something like wireless home networking. As this is the first time, I don't know or I'm a noob. The security settings in modem are :
Network Authentication: Open
WEP Encryption: disabled
When I search wifi signal, My ppc detects the modem; Says connecting and after few mins says unavailable so it don't connects.
Here is the manual : Link
Please help................
Solved : The modem was setted to "Bridging" ( Manual Connecting ) and after setting it to "PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)" ( Auto connect ), The internet in my ppc is working fabulous.
Thanks and regards

Ok, now my PPC says connected. When I assigned ip in network adapters->wlan setting ( SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter ).
But another problem here, Cannot use the net. Mean, IE or weather report or IM don't connect to internet.

Is there any MAC filtering set on the box? Are you getting a genuine IP lease, or is it a Windows auto-configured setting (169.254.x.x)?

Just looked at the manual - other things to check:
Is NAT (page 48) enabled?
Is DHCP Server (page 55) enabled on the box with correct IP range, subnet mask and gateway IP?

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
First, It was auto configured IP setting so in my ppc it was not connecting but after assigning the IP ( IP : 192.168.1.2, Subnet : 255.255.255.0, Gateway : 192.168.1.1 ) the ppc says connected.
OK, I will checkout that NAT and DHCP.
Thanks again.

Hey buddy,
This is right down my alley, if you still need some assistance just pm me.

A challenge for the Profs

I can`t go into the Web via T-Mobile after I went into the web via WLAN
My wlan configuration is as follows:
network: Broadcom 802 DHD etc...
IP: I must put it in
Subnet 255.255.0.0
Standardgateway 172.16.1.1
DNS 172.16.1.1
Only when I erase the configuration I can go into the Web via T-Mobile but then
I can`t go into the Web visa WLAN
Crazy

What I get is that there is a "DNS error" when I try to go into the web via T-Mobile....

Is the challenge to guess your Windows version, ROM and installed applictions, browsers etc?
There's a thread for Q&A's, this is ROM Development.

Windows version: WM 6.1
ROM: The original rom from HTC
browsers: opera and IE
Pls help me because all WLAN and T-Mobile codes seem to be right

Although you dind't specify anything about the ROM and OS version you have, I can tell you a little about the way IP addresses work and why you're not having internet.
Every computer on the internet has an IP address and that is used to identify it. However there are on a home network more than one computer, so you have a router that re-routes your internet through it's own range of IP addresses. Meaning you get an IP from your provider, which your router stores, and your router gives all computers in a network an IP address. This way every computer in your network can connect to the internet without the ISP having to give you more than one IP address.
Normally routers work with a technique called DHCP, dynamic host configuration protocol, which allows all computers in the network to communicate and share addresses. So without having to enter information manually a computer knows that the DNS is 172.16.1.1 (for example) and that it's IP is 172.16.1.*. If you disable this technique you must enter the information manually.
This isn't a problem until you need to connect to more than one network. Since every network has it's own set of IP ranges, it's own DNS, etc. So when you connected to your WiFi and manually entered information for your home network you disabled the ability to connect to T-Mobile yourself. Since the IP you get from T-Mobile isn't the same as you use in your WiFi network.
The other way around is the same, when you connect to T-Mobile your getting an IP address assigned automatically, howevery our WiFi network doesn't give you one automatically and thus resulting in no internet connection.
I hope that made sense to you, kept it as simple as possible. Also I hope you can fix the problem... normally you can do that by enabling DHCP in your router by logging in into the device. (You usually do this by entering the IP address of the default gateway into your webbbrowser.)

KilZone - thank you so much for your kind answer !!!
I do only have an access point no router ?
Is this possible too ?

I think the access point functions as a router too, not sure about that, but you can try by entering the default gateway into your browser and see where you end up.
