Hi Everybody!
I'm looking for some help with connecting to my home WiFi.
In settings, netwok card, I can see my home network.
I use a netgear router with WEP security.
I just can't seem to connect and I can't seem how to input my WEP acces passkey too?
Thanks for any replies
{>
In settings, wireless lan, advanced it states that I am connected to the network, but I still can't connect when using IE?
the message reads : " U~nable to obtain a server assigned IP address . . . etc"
Do you have DHCP enabled on the wireless router? Have you used the wireless network with another device?
Mmm, very good question!
The answer is "don't know". Will check and let you know Syn.
Will start again.now that I have managed to "flash my rom"
Well this is what I have :
Wireless Network
Name (SSID):
Region: --- Select Region ---AfricaAsiaAustraliaCanadaEuropeFranceIsraelJapanMexicoSouth AmericaUnited States
Channel: 01020304050607080910111213
Wireless Access Point
Enable Wireless Access Point
Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID)
Wireless Card Access List
Security Encryption (WEP)
Authentication Type: AutomaticOpen SystemShared Key
Encryption Strength: Disable64bit128bit
I have added the device to my wireless network list with the MAC address
Signal is VERY GOOD!!!
Am I missing out son some settings?
{>
I've tried to set up a new connection as Internet Explorer tells me it cannot connect with the current settings?
What settings do I need?
I have entered the WEP key, and I don't use passwords on my wifi system??
{<
Do I need an IP address?

First things first, forget the PDA for few moments and lets establish what is going on with your AP. The question that [sYn] has asked is very important - do you have DHCP enabled on the AP. The answer you posted is meaningless as it only shows the options and not the current config. Interrogate the AP and look for where the LAN side DCHP option is and make sure it is set to ENABLE or ON or whatever positive indication is used.
Once you are sure this is configured (ideally tested with a PC) then go get your PDA and try connecting again. If it still doesn't work disable all the security and encryption settings and turn off that stupid MAC address authentication which, by the way, is pointless. If needs be do a factory reset on the AP. With no security enabled try conecting the PDA. It more than likely will connect now. Once it does start building up your security one layer at a time making sure you test at each stage. Can I suggest that you forget WAP and MAC authentication and use a WPA Pre-Shared Key instead as this provides bucket loads more security.
Hope this helps.
JT, thanks for all your help!
I use a netgear router. Whilst awaiting a reply here I did a bit of research and took of the security of my router. I then connected my device using a shared key (I have always had this) and then put the security back on.
I had to reconnect my laptop too. I think the reason isthat the router was set for an automatic setting and I chaned this to an open system.
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP !!!

Hi Guys!
I've been reading here as a guest for a while and finally took the leap to buy an iMate Jasjar. So far so good, buuuut...
I am trying to connect it to my home WiFi LAN and having some troubles.
The home WiFi AP is set to up as a gateway and connected to a router (ie AP = 10.0.0.10 and Router = 10.0.0.3). Therefore, a device connecting via a DHCP client which doesn't allow the gateway to be specified isn't very useful.
On the JasJar, I would like to be able to specify the IP, NetMask, Gateway, etc. Is there a way to do this?
Similarly, when I select the 'Configure Network Authentication' window on the JasJar and select Authentication = WPA and Data Encryption = TKIP, it auto-checks the 'The key is automatically provided' - which it isn't! The key needs to be manually entered.
Worse yet, in the next tab "Configure Network Authentication" it forces "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" for PEAP (not supported on my AP) or "Smart Card or Certificate" (I have no smart card and I have no idea how to issue a certificate).
So sorry to be asking what must seem like gross newb questions, but I'm so keen to use my Jasjar with my wifi.
Is there a chance someone might know the answers?
Kind Regards - Virgil.

Is your AP a brodband router if so check DHCP configurations add the gataway to your DHCP config.
Explain what device you have probably some one may help you.
Kind regards
Howlingwolf
Thanks for the reply.
The devices in question are:
* JasJar (PPC/PDA, etc)
* Linksys WRT54GC (AP)
There does not appear to be provision for a general routing entry (ie all connections route from 10.0.0.10 (the AP/Gateway) to the router (10.0.0.3)). Unless I'm really missing something.
Cheers - Virgil.
EDIT: Entered bad IPs.
Using a T-mobile MDA Wiz200 w/ WPA-PSK, the correct encryption key, the latest ROM update, and 802.11g enabled, I cannot login to a network with WPA-PSK encryption. That WPA-PSK network does not require a certificate or smart card. The network is detected, MDA tries repeatedly to connect, but no IP address is provided. I can login to Open, WEP encrypted access points, and T-Mobile Hotspots with no problems.
With WPA-PSK enabled, if I click Settings, Connections, Network cards, the access points name, and 802.1x, the checkbox for 802.1x network access control can't be unchecked, although a checkbox is displayed. I believe this is the problem because when I use my HP laptop's built in wireless and uncheck the same 802.1x network access control option, I can login to the WPA-PSK encrypted network with no difficulties.
Question: Does anyone have a hack or suggestion for a way to allow the IEEE 802.1x network access control requirement to be unchecked on a T-mobile MDA Wiz200 Windows Mobile 5.0? Any suggestions are appreciated!
ROM version: 2.16.10.2 WWE
Radio version: 02.15.11
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.12
ExtRom version: 2.26.10.105
Windows Mobile 5.0 OS 5.1.185 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
Hi, just wanted to note that I'm having a similar/the same issue. Router is a Linksys WRT54G running standard firmware, no Open WRT. I've been able to connect my MDA to every other access point I've tried without problems, but I cannot get it to connect to my own G router with WPA-PSK. Same behavior as above post. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i haven't seen wpa in any rom except for orwells1984. even the pdaviet roms dont have it.
WPA/WPA-PSK authentication and TKIP encryption are included in ALL ROMs for the Wizard, no execeptions. Faria managed to add WPA2 & WPA2-PSK authentication as well AES encryption in his AKU 3.3 ROMS which I can verify works perfectly (WPA2 & WPA2-PSK both with AES encryption). The reason 802.1x is greyed out with WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK is it isn't relevent with this authentication type. WPA & WPA2 (Enterprise) requires a back-end RADIUS Server that performs the authentication using 802.1x.
With WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK you are relying on knowing the Pre-Shared-Key (PSK), my guess is you have entered it incorrectly. Re-check the key you entered.

Thanks ADB100. Yes, I'm the network engineer that set up the WPA-PSK network I'm trying to access using a Wizard. What you describe is exactly the way it is supposed to work with an initial Pre-Shared Key (but without any Radius Server, smart card or certificate). All my HP and Toshiba laptop users can access that network without problems using their laptops running Windows XP Pro when in Wirelesss Network Connection Properties the "Authentication" tab for a WPA-PSK wireless network has the check box for "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication unchecked.
Here's what causes my confusion with the Wizard (although this may just be a badly designed GUI in Windows Mobile 5.0). When WPA-PSK with TKIP data encryption is enabled in the Wizard (T-mobile ROM 2.16.10.2.WWE) and I click on the 802.1x tab, a page displays showing a box checked by default which cannot be unchecked to "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" and with "EAP type: Smart Card or Certificate" also displayed but grayed-out in a drop-down box.
I work for a software development company and we would use that display configuration to show settings enabled by default that cannot be changed. To indicate that settings are not in effect we would either (a) not display any settings at all, or (b) have the tab open but have all the text grayed-out with the "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" box unchecked, and with a blank field displayed in the "EAP type" drop-down box.
I appreciate your suggestion about making sure the encryption key is correct because its always useful to start with the basics. I'll also try re-entering the key using both the keyboard and the touch screen on the Wizard just to make sure there are no problems with the type of date entry I'm using. However, the encryption key that I've been entering on all the laptops that I've set-up for users of the wireless network has worked fine.
Do you have any other ideas or suggestions?
Hey folks,
I agree with jonmcad that leaving the box checked when grayed out gives the user the impression that this option is selected and cannot be disabled. But I understand that's not what's really going on. As for my wifi problems, after reading several other threads here, I got things working by changing the channel my router was using from 6 to 1. Works fine now. I don't know if changing the channel would be an option in a corporate environment, that's just what worked for me.
I have the same observation as you on a different device.
My PDA is AIRIS T620.
When WPA-PSK is enabled then the checkbox for 802.1x network access control cannot be unchecked (it is grey on the sheet).
I tried to disable 802.1x by different way. I have downloaded Total Commander for PDA (or for Win CE? I don't remember exactly). With the help of that utility the registry can be searched and edited. I have found \\\registry\HKCU\Comm\EAPOL\Config\Network_name\Enable8021x key with 1 as value. I changed the value to 0. After I started network connection the value was changed back to 1. There is another key too: \\\registry\HKCU\Comm\EAPOL\Config\Network_name\EapTypeId. I tried to delete this key while Enable8021x was set to 0. The result was the same: the WPA-PSK connection was unsuccessful and the original keys and values were restored.
I have no other observations ...

I had the same problem today while trying to connect to my wpa-psk tkip wifi. Then i remembered i had messed around with Advanced Config, setting wpa authentication to enabled. So i reseted it back to disabled and after soft reset i was once again able to connect to my wpa-psk tkip network.
I met the same issue.
1. I use WPA2/PSK - AES or TKIP
2. "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" is checked, and grayed. I can't uncheck it.
3. My phone can connect to the router, but IE won't show a webpage.
4. While my laptop works fine.
Hi guys, does anybody found a solution for this?
Can anyone find the solution for this as i Have HTC Touch Diamond.
I have a SPV M3100 (TyTn, I think) but I cant get it to connect using WiFi to my wireless router. I can go into 'Configure Wireless Networks' and tell it to connect to my router, all the settings are correct, but all it does is try to connect and fail, and no error message comes up.
Does anyone know how I could fix this problem?
Thanks,
Sebastian
it might help if you state what rom your are using and what protection the router is using? I know there are many threads discussing this issue with WM6 using WPA. Have you tried connecting with no encryption? If so can you connect.
Sorry, the ROM version is: 1.23.61.4, date: 7/13/06
It is running WM5 PocketPC. Encryption is WEP. No I havent tried no encryption. I will after when I get home.
Sebastian
OK, I've tried without encryption, and I've fiddled about with the settings but it still doesn't work.
Each time I tell it to connect it says 'Connecting' for about a second then says 'Unavailable' for a few seconds, then back to 'Available', untill I next tell it to connect.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
sebastian
if it use mac filtering the mac of the tytn need to be added to the lists of mac's the router wanna talk to
that's not the problem either, sorry
Couple of things (I'm running WM6 on my M3100, so WM5 is a bit of distant memory ) you could look at.....
First, does your router use DHCP to issue IP addresses? if not, you'll need to set the phone with a static IP. To do that, go to Start / Settings / Connections tab / Wi-Fi / Network adapters tab, make sure it says "connect to the internet" then tap the "802.11" network adapter, tap "use specific ip address", fill one in and "ok" your way back out.
Second, in Start / Settings / Connections tab / Wi-Fi / Wireless tab, tap and hold your "unavailable" wireless connection then choose Edit. Make sure the "connects to" box says Internet. Also, if your router doesn't broadcast its' SSID, (on WM6 at least) tick the box that says "this is a hidden network", then go next, next finish (making sure the authentication and encryption types match your router config!!).
Hope this helps,
Mark.
I have now been through every intricate detail within settings, and still to no avail. One (possibly) good thing did come out of it though - an error message.
I got it when going to create a new WiFi connection and clicking on the 802.1x tab, it says:
"Cannot log on to the wireless network. This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you."
I made sure I inputted the network key correctly and all the encryption settings were right.
Please tell me that helps solve the problem! lol
btw, the router is a D-Link DSL-604+, just incase that helps anybody solve the problem.
sebastian
If you're getting certificate errors, it sounds as though you've ticked the setting in the phone's wireless config that says something like "IEEE 802.1x network access" and selected "smart card or certificate".
Go back in to the wireless config, tap and hold the "unavailable" network, then select Edit. Go through - next, next and the authentication is on the last page IIRC.....just untick the box, tap finish and you should be away!!
Cheers,
Mark.
It WORKS!!
I forgot to untick 'The network key is automatically provided' and tried to connect, and it now works
I'll just kiss goodbye to my battery life now
Thanks for everyone who has helped me.

My ATT Tilt wont connect to my D-Link Wireless N Router.. does the Tilt not work on N routers?
Hi All, i got a problem here with my Dopod 818 pro, my company here are using Apple Air Port Extreme Wifi system, i manage to scan the Wifi hotspot but when i try to connect, i can't... It will trying to connect for about 3 minutes, after that a error message apper :"Pocket PC Networking - Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network setting." how to fix this problem ah? help me please...http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
Are you sure they're using DCHP? If they're using Static IP, you'll need to set up the IP by yourself.
Actually it may be an AES issue
The thing is that the apple airports are only compatible with AES encryption when using WPA/WPA2. they will not do TKIP. So if you have WPA/WPA2 encryption enabled on the router it will not connect without a compatible wifi setup on your device. (Im not sure which all work but i was able to connect, ironically, with the iprophet ROM) Try to find a rom with WPA2 support and make wure you are set to AES this will let you connect. Or you can (i dont recommend) disable the encryption on your airport device. Good luck hope this helps.
