Connecting to Wanadoo livebox - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi there,
Anyone know how to connect XDA Exec to Wanadoo Livebox. I asked WANADOO and they are not interested!
Thanks for your time

noone else got wanadoo wireless?

well if noone here knows im stuck! damn wanadoo!

I guess it'd help if we knew what you're talking about Is Wanadoo Livebox some kinda Wanadoo-branded WiFi access point or something?
The Exec accepts the same WiFi access control parameters as a PC, so whatever works for your PC should work for the Exec too, I'd have thought. :?:
Dunno what else to suggest. Perhaps you could describe the problem?

Hi ross360,
Once I successfully connected my XDA Exec to Wanadoo Livebox. After installing corporate mode i can't connect anymore.
It's simple but painful as well.
Try these steps:
System->Wireless LAN
It will start searching for network, at this point press (1) button in live box to make it in Pairing mode. If network is detected then you need to enter WEP Key (26 characters), and user name and password.
cheers

hi guys,
thanks for getting back to me. wanadoo have a wifi access point called livebox. yes its crap so don't even think about getting one. when i activate wifi on my exec, it finds wanadoo straight away no probs, then asks for a WEP key. this is written on the underside of the actual livebox. i tried to enter the nember but it don't work. wanadoo said stop wasting our time, what do we care!
maybe someone could go through the settings pls
thanks for your time!

ok,
after messing about i get it working. the pairing mode worked. everyone please aviod wanadoo!

i got the same reply from them and no matter what i try in the settings it doesnt allow me to connect

Prevent GPRS from auto connecting

Hi all
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get the xda exec to ask for confirmation before connecting to GPRS. Mine keeps auto connecting during the night (i guess for msn messager) and there for running up my phone bill.... I would like it to ask me before connecting.
Simerly is there anyway to get it to prompt for which connection to use before conecing, I have gprs, 2 dialup ISP's and a work dialin,,, It always defaults to gprs when selected to auto detect but I would really like to be able to select which connection it is going to use before it connects
Thanks for any help
Paul
Hey there,
I'd also like to know how to get the GPRS to ask if it can connect... thanks!

Wi Fi connection on SPV M600
Hi, did you ever manage to sort this problem? I have just bought one of these and am experiencing the same difficulties as you.
Any help appreciated
Thankyou
Hi guys.
Little silly question:
What are the settings on your router?
If this is your home network then you typed in the WAP or WEP key to set it up. Otherwise, you don't need one.
Have you even tryed to read the manual? It helps.
wifi connection problems
Hi, maybe i should've explained more
I am trying to connect to my wifi router at home (netgear). My m600 has found the the signal. i tap on the network name and go to the CONFIGURE WIRELESS NETWORK screen,in the GENERAL tab i can see the SSID, i select THE INTERNET from the drop down menu next to "connects to", in the NETWORK KEY tab i set authentication to OPEN, Data encryption to WEP & then enter the network key.
I then go back to the CONFIGURE WIRELESS NETWORK screen and my m600 is trying to connect, then it will say AVAILABLE but not CONNECTED - why is this????
Also, it only stays AVAILABLE for about 30 seconds and then its status changes back to UNAVAILABLE
I really would be most grateful for any help in this matter
Thanks in advance , Jimmy
Sounds like you are typing the key wrong.
Make sure encryption type and key matches exactly the settings on your router.
Try disabling encryption on your router and see if you can connect.
M600 wifi connection problem
Thanks levenum - still no luck though
Although i have managed to connect to my neighbours unsecured network (very poor connection though)
Has wifi connection been explained indepth elsewhere? or am i the only unlucky (retarded) one? :roll:
Hang on a second, something I saw in the other thread (somewhere in Network forum):
You need to type the actual key (hex values) and not the pass phrase if you are using one.
Sorry, don't know any guides.
wifi connection problem SORTED!
Cheers levenum,
i dont wanna make myself look a complete idiot so i should say that i did have the proper key typed into the box at 64bit encryption
however, i changed it to 128bit encryption and it connected straight away
I have no idea why
I wonder what i'll be moaning about next??? :wink:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First of all Turn On the WIFI
1.) (Go To PROGRAMS.>COMM MANAGER> Click ON the wifi Icon)
2.) Go to Settings>Connections>Wireless Lan
In the ADAVANCED TAB : Your MAC Address is Written.
This is regardless of whether you are connected to a Wifi Network Or Not.
Normally U dont need to configure anything Manually to Enter the Wify (except the Key / Password)
Thank you... I couldn't find it! The O2Atom now connects immediately. I am very appreciative! Thanks for your time! :lol:

Wi-Fi help for Mini s XDA on O2/Wanadoo

I have two problems that are driving me to distraction. 1) I cannot find anybody that can tell me the correct settings for Mini xda connecting to my Wi-Fi wanadoo livebox. I have tried calling Wanadoo and O2 without success. I have tried connecting via WEP and entering the long 24 digit network key, but there is only space for 20 digits on the XDA.. Secondly I cannot disable GPRS as a default - apparently there is no way to do this apart from deleting the GPRS settings and I'd rather not. Any help/guidance gratefully received !!
Haven't got an answer for you on the Wanadoo question, but my livebox arrives in a couple of weeks so I'll keep an eye on this thread.
For your other question, my xda mini s will select wireless ahead of GPRS if it has a good enough connection. It only defaults to GPRS when wireless is off or not a strong enough connection. Sometimes, I think that it should be choosing wireless, but more often than not I find that the wireless connection has dropped out.
Does yours not work this way?
Mini XDA Wi-Fi
Hi
Your configuration sounds great, I cannot test this at the moment because I cannot get connected to the Wi-fi livebox. The livebox keeps asking me for a network key - I use the WEP key from the base of the livebox but it still will not connect, I have it set as WEP Shared access but to no avail. (Ironically my laptop connects OK to the livebox using WPA-PSK protocol, even though wanadoo tell me it will only work with WEP)
Unfortunately O2 do not support Wi-Fi and Wanadoo (orange) do not support mobile devices - so there is no help from anywhere.
Getting over the GPRS always connecting is quite easy, just set up a dummy network and get the browser to point to that when opening instead of the GPRS. However as I cannot get access to Wi Fi I cannot see if my xda operates in the same way as yours. I am just hoping that someone out there uses an xda via Wanadoo(Orange) and can give me the settings.....
Ok, I don't know about the Wanadoo, haven't seen this device until today (looks interesting though) but here is what I know about WEP/WAP keys on PPC devices:
You have to type the hex values, even if you are using a pass phrase on the router (the Wanadoo in your case).
Also XDA mini (Wizard?) should be able to connect with WAP-PSK so why not try same settings as your laptop.
Just a thought.
Thanks for the advice, however I have just had a breakthrough and it is now working great. I had to go into the router config settings and temporarily switch off the security settings. This proved to me that the XDA could accept WIFI, when I switched the security back on I entered the open access WEP key into the XDA and amazingly it worked!! Even better is that it seems to auto default to WI-FI when in range and GPRS when out of range. Lets hope it stays that way!!

Wifi Problems with M3100 and Orange Livebox

Hey
I've been trying to connect to the internet through my Orange Livebox using a WiFi connection from my SPV 3100.
I tried all settings but couldnt connect to the Livebox at all.
I found a post about using a static IP to connect on another forum this actually had success in that it actually managed to connect to the Livebox and the internet but after a certain period the connection randomly seems to drop and after a while doesnt connect at all.
I havent changed any of the settings on the Livebox, I've tried almost everything on the M3100 but to no success.
If anyone has had success achieving this could they please let me know how they managed to do it.
All help appreciated and thanks in advance
Has you livebox got a button on it? If it has its the pairing buttonn... You need to hold that when pairing... I know you had to do that on the old wanadoo liveboxes...
Yes it has and i have been using it as per the instructions.
Thanks for your help
Has any1 else managed to use their SPV M3100 to access the web thru their Orange Unlimited Livebox if you have managed it can you please let me know how u managed it.
Thanks in advance again
Hi,
I have managed to get my 3100 working with my Orange Livebox.
Make sure you have pressed the pairing button on the livebox.
I found that I had to change the settings on my phone in the 'Configure Network Authentication' section to :
Authentication - OPEN
Data Encryption: WEP
and then enter the WEP key found on your Livebox.
Hope this helps,
Mark
Thanks Mark
I've done that already to no avail
Was there by chance anything else you did to the settings?

The above worked for me. I entered my key in capitals
Thanks everyone after some trial and error tests in a different environment i found the problem to be nothing more malicious than a simple Livebox wireless channel clash where i'm using the box is pretty densely residential and i think the sheer number of wireless networks made it impossible for my SPV 3100 to connect using the default wifi channel 1 after picking an ubscure channel (11 i think) i've had no problems and am actually posting this message using my 3100 through a wifi connection to my Livebox
Thanks again everyone
