Is there some registry or configuration file setting where I can hardcode WEP keys for different SSID's?
I have 3 different wireless networks that I connect too at different times. Each one has a different WEP key. I find over time that my device (iMate JasJar) will reset the WEP key box to "automatically provided" when switching between wireless networks. My wireless networks do not provide the WEP key for me but rather have to be keyed in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

and plug it into ure bt voyager.
it is not possible to connect to your bt voyager with wireless as the wireless function is not fully operational yet
What are you talking about? I have a BT Voyager 2100 Wireless router myself, I take it thats what this guy is referring to. When you first got your Voyager did you set up any security like a WEP key? To check open your web browser on your PC and type 192.168.1.1 You will get the Voyager homepage. Click on Advanced, then Wireless (you might have to enter username and password (default is admin for both). Have a look at your security settings and see if you have a WEP key set. If you do, make a note of it and try connecting using your phone with this key. If you still have problems, let me know.
thanx
Thanx ill try that asap and let you know mono33
Help
Sorry about this its still sating the nework key is incorrect but we know its right when we put the mouse over the green box with the signal it say this BTVOYAGER2100-9A But on my pda pro at the screen that says configure wireless netwok there are loads of name its trying to connect to all of them one at a time but its picking up the name BTVOYAGER2091-EO This one says available so i put in the network key but it still says wrong network key.IM THINKING IM PICKING UP ANOTHER BTVOYAGER am i right do you think and what should i do nxt will you talk me through it step by step and thanx mate if together we can get this working you would make me very happy thanx mono33
I think these come with wep defaulted as on. the wepkey code should be on a sticker on the bottom of the router. it is on my 2091 an I had the 2100 before that.
it will be a long combination of numbers an letters.
do this.
turn on pocket pc and stand as close to your 2100 as you can.
try and find your network.
it is possible that your picking up more than 1 wifi. in my street there are 20.
do you know much about your router. I.e how to rename it ?
do this should sort it
on pocket pc.
go in settings
connections tab
wireless lan
in the bottom left hand corner you should have a icon that is a pocket pc with a wireless connection on it.
click this
you will now have a list of all wifi networks in range on your pcc
click on your one. and press connect. this should ask u for wep key now.
if not go into settings and put them in. hope this helps.
Thanx
Ive done this allready and still no luck amymore help would be nice thanx mono33
ill pm you some ideas
I to have the BT Voyager 2100 and this is what I did to get it to work. first off if you stand to close it will not work, try to stand a minimum of 10 feet away. I had some problems setting mine up but it had more to do with my environment than the Exec. This is what I did:
1 Turn off all security on BT Voyager
2 Turn off all security on Exec
3 Attempt to connect with the Exec
4 Change the channel that the channel that the Voyager operates at until a seccessful connection is established. Change and try, change and try until it connects.
5 Walk around house to ensure that you stay connected where you will be using the Exec.
6 Set up other wireless devices you will be using and test to ensure they can connect at these settings
7 THEN I set security on the Voyager then on the Exec and follow up with your other wireless devices
Try this, I hope it works..
Thanx all

Hey Guys,
I'm new to the PPC,where i just bought a K-Jam and installed activesync 4.1 on my laptop (winxp sp2).
i have also a bluetooth dongle (MSI) and it seems to be working fine with me, i can connect my kjam to the laptop to syncronize my data.
now when it comes to using the internet via my laptop, i'm lost
i've been reading all threats which confused me when setting up the connection and i'm still not able to work it.
please if anyone can help me step by step , i'll be thankfull
thanx in advance.
I have noted by Bluetooth experiences with connecting my Xda Exec to my Home PC internet connection. It took me over a weeks worth of shouting & frustration to get this working as I ended up falling down every pitfall you could fall down! :evil:
Anyway, take a look here:

all you need to do is discover your device and connect to the dial-up networking connection.....
once that's done it's just a matter of getting the correct phone number, username and password (if applicable).
In the US for T-Mobile the phone number is *99# and there is no user name or password.
dear underwurld
thinks for your fast response and for trying to help, not sure if the link is working at the moment , i've tried to open it several times.
lvlolvlo,
i donot think it can be that easy, i came across alot of threats were all about the activesync and ports and network connections , what made it more complicated.
any help..?
Oops sorry about that....
Missed a bloody 't' out try again:

Dear Underwurl,
i would like to thank u for these amazing information and references , however ( to tell u the truth) it is still confusing to me..
i thouhgt there might be any guidelines where i could go through steps
1-
2-
.
.
and so on...
i think i have no problem connecting my device to the laptop ( not through the dialup thing but through the activesync 4.1 and it says connected in both)
also all reference were talking about incoming ports and outgoings ones which doesnot exist in activesync4.2 ( i know it might exist on 3.8 ver)
1- if it is somehow connected to the activesync, are there anything to be configured for the proxy server , and how ( i'm using my office lan)??
2- when it says connected i try to open IE but all i get is page is under construction...what does that mean???
3- is it something related to the bluetooth (msi) driver or ghosted ports??
u c....i'm going randomly considering all these thoughts, which is confusing me alot...
will appreciate any help...
OK....
So, just to be clear:
Have you installed those nice WICOMM Bluetooth services installed on your PC?
Andy
PS
Do you have WiFi in your office???? Bin Bluetooth if you have!!!!!!!
yes, I installed the BT software that came with my BT dongle
it shows widcomm in my driver data
and no idonot have wifi in my office
what do u think?
while connected with my laptop via activesync, i checked the tcp/ip setting with pocket mechanic, it is showing a different ip address than the one in my laptop connection (LAN connection),
but showing a correct host name
and it says " Local area networks cannot directly communicate across wide area networks because they are defind by a private class of ip's"
any idea?????
when i open internet explorer on my kjam it says "page not found"
is it that difficult for you guys,
no one have gone through this before??
Hi,
My mini s seems to have a problem connecting to my home network. When i switch the wi fi on it searches but does not connect. I hard reset a coyuplke of day ago and switch on the wifi and it found my network then promted to enter key, which i did. The phone then connected no problem. No when i switch wifi on it doesnt connect. I go into network cards tab and look what networks are available and my network is there with available next to it but the options have all change (key be given out auto etc...) so i change them to the correct ones etc.. but still it doesnt connect? What i'm i doing wrong? I has worked in the past but not now. I have not installed and 3rd party software and my router is working fine (laptop downstairs works no problem off network).
any ideas
cheers
hi,
i just reseted my router and renamed my homenetwork and assigned a newwep key. started wifi on mini s and it connected straight away to the my newly named network. switch wifi off then on again and now it wont connect. it see's the network and says its available but wont connect. under the settings the network key has changed. it's defo a problem with the phone cus everything else works fine (laptop, psp). it's just not saving the network info???
and ideas???
cheers
think it could be because i've upgraded to o2 new rom??? Could somebody with the latest UK o2 rom please confirm that ther can connect to the networ?
cheers
This also happens to me with the latest O2 ROM.
What you have to do is to manually connect and perservere by going to Network Cards, tapping the network and then select Connect. It may take a few go's but it will connect eventually.
Report back how you get on.
You may want to set up your router to assign a fixed IP address to the Mini S's MAC address as well.
Sounds like the problem I've been having. I've also got an O2 rom and am having problems connecting to any wifi network, even though it worked fine the first time.
I've tried going to the network cards page and clicking connect, but it hasn't worked so far. talkingbollox - when you say 'eventually', how long are you talking?
I'll also try assigning a fixed ip address later, but my hopes aren't high.

Sometimes 2 attempts, sometimes up to 20.
Persevere!
20! I probably tried about 10 times before I gave up. Surely this is a fault. You shouldn't have to waste so much time just to get a connection! :x
I tried MAC address filtering too but that didn't seem to work.
Do you think this is a O2 ROM problem or a hardware problem? If it's just O2, I think I might try a different ROM. Any suggestions which ROM to use?
My Mini S came already with the latest rom I think, and it works fine with my router (BT Voyager 2110)
Are you guys using the 802.11g reg edit?? Maybe thats why its not working, I actually did the hack before I ever turned on my wifi so I don't know if it worked without it. Try it My wizard connects with my router in G only 8)
Search the forum you will find loads of posts about it, and I think somebody has even made a cab file that does it for you, along with some speed tweeks that make your system faster.
It must have taken me in excess of 40 goes to connect last night.
Yes, I am using the g mode hack. My Voyager 2100 is set to broadcast in both b and g (i.e. mixed) mode.
I had the same problem... what I did was just entering the dns adress of my router.
So the ppc doesn't wait for the dhcp server to asign it .. it works great when surfing at home !!!
First off Hi to everyone
I received my o2 mini XDA a few days ago and have not left this site since so much info here (Alot of which is way over my head :? )
I would like to connect to the internet at home but just can't get the settings right (I have searched, but feel free to redirect me if I missed it).
Can anyone make a step by step guide or give me a bit of direction?
I managed to link my sons PSP and that was a nightmere but need help with this!
Thanks in advance Matt
more info i think....
- are you talking about wifi on the phone to use your existing broadband?
or
- are you wanting to connect your phone to pc to act as a modem to connect to the net?
cheers

Sorry I wish to access my existing wirless broadband connection. I thought I had it sussed as my phone asked me for my wep number so I placed live box in pairing mode and entered number but it still is trying to connect?
Hi
I had the same problem, (sorted now) it's to do with the security of the live box. it uses mixed WEP and WPA
Here's the solution
1. Open the configuration page of the live box User name and password are admin
2. Go into Confiuration > Advanced > Wireless
3. Select WPA Security Only
4. Tap on submit
5. Finally tap on Save configuration to Livebox
Then put your live box in Pairing mode ( button underneath )
Wifi on your phone
Enter your security Key and away you go
Sorry where do I enter my security number?
I have configured livebox as instructed and turned my wifi on, on my my handset it does't ask for a number?
If I try to connect to internet it conects via GRPS
I'm sure this is so simple, but it's always the little things that trip me up!
Thanks
Make sure your live box is in pairing mode
Once it's on switch on the wifi on your phone and let it search for a wifi connection
Once it has found your live box a pop up should appear on your phone asking you if you want to connect to work or internet
select Internet and it should then ask you for your network key (which you find under the live box)
Enter this key and it should connect then
let me know how you get on
I think I have messed this up when I was trying to work it out on my own. Perhaps I should do a hard rest, I have hadly anything on the phone and start a fresh now I know what to do
Do you think that's the easiest way forward?
If you havent got much on your phone then a hard reset may be best.
Hi,
I was just wondering how to use my tytyn phone as a high speed modem from my pc..? basically I want to be able to connect my phone to laptop and surf at High speeds when on the move... anyone know how to do this..? I though you just connect via active sync and it defaults to your phone connection.. but any help is appreciated.. thanks.. :wink:
You need to turn Bluetooth on both devices. Pair them together and have your laptop use the Dial-Up service provided by your phone. No username and password. Just dial *99#
Thanks fo your reply.. but I dont have bluetooth on laptop.. can I use usb instead..?
Ok.. I tried the following but it didnt work... ! I connected phone to laptop via USb, then started wireless modem on phone, laptop (XP) picks up new modem, created new dial up with moblie as modem and *99# as dial up number, I see connections flashing on mobile and dial up attempts to connect but fails on user/pass , I triedleaving them blank, then user/wap (im on t-mobile) none of which worked.... any help is appreciated...
I am watching this thread with interest too.
I have a Bluetooth adapter for my laptop but would like to see what the experts say on here first..
FINALLY WORKING WITH 800KBPS DOWNLOAD..!!!!!!!
I finally got it working with my t mobile vario 2 ... if you have the same then the APN is general.t-mobile.uk and uername /pass is user pass
the rest of the settings I got from this thread..

Now im surfing the net at nearly 1mb from my car..!!!!!!!!
Awsome! Watch your driving as you're sniping that eBay item though :shock:
ive been using my hsdpa via my vario 2 over bluetooth today and its very quick, someone was saying that there speed slowed down dramatically when they used it over bluetooth but i can confirm that they were tell porkies. Ive done speed tests on many different sites today through out the day and got 1.7mb every single time.
It is just like using wifi at home on 8mb for surfing sites, obviously downloading is slower though
cant find any options to do with Wifi
im runnung sky tv with there broadband and there wireless router which works fine for laptop and xbox360. i now want to connect through my home broadband to XDA2i to use msn messenger.

here are some results search gave
Follow the pictures, once you will switch-on the WiFi it will search for any available wireless connection, make sure you have already allowed the MAC address of your XDA-IIi in your SKY router, if your router has already setup on password then you have to enter the access password in your XDA as well.
Very Important: Make sure your router is also transmitting the "B" channels as your XDA-IIi's WiFi has got a "B" WiFi card.
GoodLuck & let me know

ive not got a wireless logo though to click on !
ive only got a bluetooth logo at the bottom and at the top of screen clock and sound
Ok then go through: Start->Settings->Connection->WiFi and then you will see those screens
Sidd
your sky should have wpa enabled and the password is written on card or noted under the router. Enter this to your wireless settings. Or your router and xda should detect themselves vice versa and just enter the wpa password.

i aint got any WIFI options on my xda2 ?
i dont understand why not ? surely all xda2i have wifi ?
OK here comes the solution, Dear PIE CJ there is a big diffirence if you say that you have a XDA-IIi or XDA-II, one is a Alpine and other is a Himaliya. You have mentioned & started this post as by saying that you have a """XDA-IIi""", that means you have said that you have XDA-IIi, but now you are saying that it is a XDA-II, so my friend XDA-II does not come with WiFi facility, the manufacturer has put the WiFi ability in XDA-IIi.... But you can buy some external ones from the market.

On bottom left of your xda2i screen there should three icons from left, one that pivots the screen then "wifi" lastly bluetooth. It looks like a blue coloured pawn from chess with headset and it has a red slash when not on.

Boi, what are you refering to? have you read the post number 4 on this page? I have already explained PIE CJ, but according to him he /she has got a ""XDA-II"" which doesn't come with the WiFi feature in it, so how could his device would have that icon? please read the posts.
