gprs trys to connect with wlan on

Hey,
I'm using a Qtek 2020i which I believe is the same as a xdaIIi. I have a wireless network set up at home and have managed to connect to it with the built-in Wlan device in my Qtek but every time I try to connect to the internet or send/receive emails it tries to connect to gprs even though it shows wifi is connected.
I have read some of the other forum posts here and many of them say to check that my network card is set to connect to the internet however where it says 'my network card connects to' there is only a blank box after it - no option to choose work or internet??
Has anyone got any advice on how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in avdance.

system->Connections->Connections->advanced
and pick the connection of your cellphone isp as the connection for
programs which use internet access

that is already the case so it can't be that I'm afraid

I am having the same problem with my MDA Vario(KJam).
It tries to connect to GPRS even if i have wireless lan connected
anyone know how i can sort this
thanks

As noted in another post, simply creating a dummy gprs connection created a default conne tion instead of the telco gprs.

Can't surf over WiFi

Hello there,
just recieved my XDA mini S from O2 Germany and I'm quite happy with it. I was able to manage a connection to my mixed mode WEP secured acces point however I'm not able to surf with IE when connected to Wifi.
Can someone point me to a solution?
The Device says it is connected and also has a IP from my DHCP server
sincerely,
maui

Hello there,
I just found the error, there was a proxy setting in place which has to be used when connecting over GRPS with o2 Germany.
However this showed me another problem. Because I have a o2 WAP flatrate i use to surf over GPRS when no WiFi is available. Does someone know how i can configure that the proxy is only used when connecting over GPRS?
greetings,
maui

One thing I noticed on the QTek 9100 unit was that the wireless network card was set to use the "My Work" option whenever I had to reset the connections
Setting the Network card to use "The Internet" connection restored the Internet connectivity.

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.

Wi-Fi and DHCP problems with Wizard

I've been experiencing a strange Wi-Fi problem with my Cingular 8125 (using QTEK ROM 2.8.7.1 WWE). The device is programmed to support Wireless "G", and my access point is locked to "G only". I use PSK for security and TKIP for encryption. When I am around the access point, everything works great - I am able to surf at about 1 Mbps effective bit rate.
However, if I move to an area where the signal is less than 50% and then turn wi-fi on, I can't get a DHCP address. The device gets associated with the network (exchanges keys successfully), but no DHCP. If I program a static address, I still can't ping anything. The funny thing is, if I move even to the very edge of the coverage area with a DHCP address already acquired, the device communicates just fine. This happens both at home (Linksys WRT54G 2 running the latest OpenWRT firmware) and at work (unknown access point).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike.

I have similar problems aquiring a DHCP address.
Particulary bad the situation is at home with my Netgear WGR614v1, even with full signal strength.
But also in other areas like my office building (unknown WLAN AP) I tend to have problems.
Sometimes it helps to turn off/on WLAN a few times or soft-reset the device.
But I never have problems to use WLAN when I enter a fixed IP address, but as I change locations often that is tedious...
I have an imate K-JAM with current original imate WWE rom.

This is a me-too post. I just got my MDA on T-mobile US.
I woud look at the router and saw that it did assign an address for the MDA, but I still did not receive an IP (showing connected, with 0.0.0.0 as IP.

Me Too!
Same problem here for US T-Mobile MDA.
If I manually assign the IP address info, it will connect to my WiFi router, but if left to DHCP, then it will try Connecting.... and fail.
What's the solution?

i have the same (i think) issue with MN740 AP. I had DHCP lease to 2 weeks but chaning it to 30 min seems to fix the problem.

Well, I changed the type of lease from "get the first available address from the pool" to "static DHCP". This means that the AP recognizes Wizard's MAC address and always gives it the same IP.
It seems to fix the problem - now I'm getting an IP address instantly, anywhere in the coverage area. Of course, I can do this at home only - elsewhere I'm still out of luck.
It seems that this is a bug in the Wi-Fi stack of WM5, we can only hope that it get fixed soon.

MDA Vario Wireless-G disabled by T-Mobile
I saw this posting at http://hardware.mcse.ms/archive34-2005-12-253197.html that says that T-Mobile has disabled Wireless-G on MDA Vario. I think this explains why K-Jam owners can connect to Wireless G access points and MDA's can't. At the same forum, one of the guys flashed his MDA with a K-JAM rom, and that fixed the problem. I hope someone can figure out the problem soon and create an update(I wish I knew how to).
I have an MDA, and I can't connect to G-only networks. I can see them (I think this is because the device is capable of connecting to G networks), but I can't connect to them.

EAP-TLS support on Universal

I'm unable to connect my Universal to my work wireless network. I set the network up in the first place, and have managed to connect other WM5 devices, so I know it's not specifically a WM5 problem. I've tried a couple of T-Mobile ROMs and a Qtek ROM.
The network uses EAP-TLS to authenticate certificates. When I try to connect, the Network Cards applet shows the connection as Connecting, but the Wireless LAN applet shows the connection as Connected. However, it doesn't receive an IP address and eventually gives itself a 169.254 address. The IIS server shows the connection as authenticated.
I reported this to T-Mobile months ago, but have given up on ever getting a reply. Does anyone have any similar experiences?
