I have a belkin router. It works well with several laptops.
I can connect to it with my JASJAR and get an IP address.
If I sync pop3 email it uses WIFI and works as expected.
If I sync journal bar it uses WIFI and works as expected.
However if I try to use internet explorer it alway tries to start a GPRS session and refuses to work through WIFI. :evil: Why??
Ive sent hours trying every setting I can find.
Anyone have any suggestions? :?:

At least your Wifi network doesn't crash as soon as u connect the JJ. Mine doesn't even get that far...
Anyone who can help???
Hmmm I wonder if this is something in the Telstra settings Cab.
Re those having problems all on Telstra?
Might try a hard re set and then manually build the settings.

Try de activating the phone. this allows you to use IE via your wireless router.
Tried that, thanks.
I just get the "Cannot Connect" message and if I dismiss it. Nothing!
However I can sync the weather without getting the "Cannot Connect" box. SO the WiFi is working, its just that Explorer can see it.
Im running the O2 UK firmware and it works fine (auto gives prefernce to the WiFi if I am in range, try loading on the genuine Imate firmware.

I know how you feel. I can't get wifi to work. Heck, I can't even use IE when synced to the computer via USB :evil:
Have you tried messing with the settings in start/settings/connections/connections?
I finally got it working.
You have to chose the "Telstra Internet" setting in Network Managment.
Its in Settings, Connections, Advanced, Select Networks, select "Telstra Internet".
I then did, Settings, Connections, Manage existing connections, Modem, and set it to "Auto"
It uses the WiFi first and then only uses GPRS if there is no WiFi.
Hope this helps someone else !

Can anyone help me with just getting my JJ connected to the wifi network without crashing the router?
Have you tried turning off any encryption etc and re booting the router.
Then try to connect at the most basic level?
Now I'm totally confused
I don't know what is going on!
I have finally managed to use IE via Activesync, using "Telstra Internet" as my My network connects to...
I tried again to hook up to the wifi network. The router is connected to my desktop via a physical cable, and my tablet pC is connected wirelessly (my JJ syncs with the tablet). I turned to tablet off, and then connected the JJ to the desktop wirelessly. On the desktop, I am no longer able to connect to the internet, but for some reason, the JJ is able to connect to the internet :shock:
But, even if I disconnect the JJ from the network, my desktop is unable to connect back to the internet until I reboot the router. What does this all mean????
I have the same issue with my MDA Pro! i done even have the sutp option in the modem settings. I can connect to my belkin router with encryption but no response when in IE!
Anyone else got any other suggestions?
I'm beginning to think that nobody has a solution to such connection problems. Is there any hope on the horizon? Any chance of something being sorted out by MS?
BTW, how well does BT syncing/internet connection work?
Ok frustration rising.
I can connect to my Belkin wireless router with no problems but I can only log onto the router and not browse the internet!
I have checked that the proxy is not configured.
Anyone got any ideas?
Nope
Hi,
I don't really get it. I'm (apparently) connected to my home Wifi network but the Vario is acting as if it isn't online.
The problem is with checking email. Unless I have just used the Vario web browser (in the last couple of minutes) then "send/receive" (manual or automatic) just won't connect. Vario sits there saying "connecting" and then times out.
It's set to connect to The Internet automatically during a send and receive and is connected to a very stable Netgear Wifi modem/router.
It seems to need me to open pocket explorer to kick start the wifi connection (even though it says it is up and connected all the time) every time before I can then do a successful send/receive on email.
I've played with the IP assignments on the router, so the MDA always gets the same internal IP address but that hasn't helped. "Renewing the DHCP lease" from the Vario helps but i can't believe this lease expires after just 2 minutes.
Any bright ideas?
Cheers,
Chris
i got the same problem too when i first started using the wifi..
i managed to solve it by putting the performance of the WIFI to MAX transmission and after which it connects well everytime...
hope it helps mate..
Hi,
I tried to connect my tytn to my wifi network for the first time yesterday, and couldn't get any web pages to load.
I was connected to the router, and had an IP address assigned by DHCP, but whenever I tried to load any pages in IE, it sat at 'locating' for ages and then errored.
I thought nothing of it and thought I'd give it another try later. But since then, I get the same problem when I try to browse via activesync. The device syncs properly and is connected, but I can't load any web pages.
My first thought was a DNS problem so I've tried setting some static servers but I'm not getting anywhere. I tried 'Microsoft Network Analyzer' which gives me ticks in all the tests (even the one where it pings www.microsoft.com, when I can't browse to there).
I'm now thinking that when I'm connected via activesync it's still trying to use the wifi connection somehow (even though it's turned off). In the network adaptors, wifi is set to DHCP but has an ipv6 address in the box under static IP (odd, as my router doesnt use ipv6).
I'm pretty lost now. I could do a hard reset but I've got a feeling I'd end up in the same place when I next try to get wifi to connect at home.
Any ideas?

Check your connection settings. Some carriers have proxies enabled for your GPRS connection. If you have proxy active, you will not be able to connect through a router. AT&T does this, for example.
Yep, that was it!
My GPRS was set up under 'My Work Connection', and had a proxy server. I disabled the proxy and activesync started working.
So I completely cleared out the 'My Work Network' connection, and added a new one for my providers GPRS which made activesync work. I then set the preferred networks to Work first, then GPRS second, and everything works.
Thanks
Hi, I've got a bluetooth adapter for my laptop. I've tried setting up my Treo 750 that I recently upgraded to Windows Mobile 6 to tether to my laptop for internet access. Looks like Bluetooth DUN is disabled in AT&T's WM6 rom. So I figured the PAN route seems better anyway since I think it doesn't drop the connection when a call comes in (although it takes more steps to initiate it every time, kind of a pain...). So it looked pretty easy to set up. I paired the devices, set up Internet Sharing on the Treo, and set my laptop to connect to my phone through PAN and all seems to connect fine, but I can't ever actually get on the internet. The phone shows connected, the laptop shows connected. The phone offers three options for internet sharing - AT&T, ICS, and proxy. AT&T or proxy both seem to connect, ICS does not. I noticed on my laptop that my IP address for the bluetooth PAN is 0.0.0.0. I don't know if that matters or not for this type of connection. Also, I've tried this with both the MS bluetooth stack and Toshiba bluetooth stack with the same results. All seems to pair and connect perfectly, I just get no IP address, no DNS servers, and (because of that, I think) no internet connection.
Also, if I try to do an ipconfig /renew I get "An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection 3 : The RPC server is unavailable."
My Local area connection 3 shows as "Bluetooth Personal Area Network".
DHCP shows as enabled, but ip, subnet, and dhcp servers show up as 0.0.0.0.
And you know what else, come to think of it is that a couple of times it complained about there being an IP address conflict on the network. I can't guarantee that it's related... at the time my wireless LAN was on and working correctly.
Solved!
Well, I'm sure nobody else is likely to have this same problem, but it so happens that my DHCP Client service wasn't running. I'd gotten some windows update that screwed up my laptop and was spitting out Generic Host Process Errors. If anyone cares, see here - http://motls.blogspot.com/2006/08/generic-host-process-for-win32.html
Excellent and thanks
I few days ago this problem happend with my Laptop, three day trying to find something... And almost change my phone, thanks
Hi there,
I have a question about an annoying problem that I've only managed to find one (unanswered) question to on the web.
I am currently using WM6.1 and I use to read email from my Hotmail account, amongst other things. The problem is that the messaging client ALWAYS tries to download my mail via 3G/GPRS even when there's a WiFi connection available. This occurs both when I initiate the send/receive using TouchFlo 3D or from within the mail client.
Connection manager is, as far as I'm aware, configured correctly, and PIE/Opera/weather will all happily use WiFi to connect to the internet, only using my data connection when WiFi isn't available.
The same results occur with connection manager configured in either of the following ways:
Internet Connection = "My ISP" settings with 3G modem connection
Work Connection = Default "My Work Network" settings
WiFi Access Point = Connects to Internet
Network Card = Connects to Internet
OR
Internet Connection = "My Work Network" with 3G modem connection and "This network connects to the internet" enabled
Work Connection = As Internet Connection
WiFi Access Point = Connects to Work
Network Card = Connects to Work
Interestingly, if I disable my data connection and enable WiFi I CAN send/receive mail over the WiFi connection, so it seems like the data connection is being used in preference to the WiFi one.
Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?!
Thanks,
Mike
Known issue and it is a pain as I don't have any mobile coverage in the house but I do have a wifi network but can't sync hotmail through Wifi
Same frustrating issue here. Hate it.
Even tried the modaco nodata hack so that windows live didn't even know that I had data, and with wifi going great it just says there is no connection. Pretty retarded.
yes mines too there should be away to change this Setting.
This is a real pain for sure. But I have experienced that if I turn off the phone copletely and then connect to the internet via WiFi hotmail does sync via the WiFi-connection. Just thought that I would mention this as a possible last resort.
It may also give some ideas to people trying to fix this... shortcoming.

Hmm strange I will have to try this out.
Thanks!
any Updates?
I have this same problem as well
The only way seems to be to turn your phone off and then use Wifi.
oh i will try it so basically turn the Phone on Airplane Mode
