Newbie Wifi Help Please?

Hi Everybody!
For some reason, I can connect to the internet when my pda is pluged into my computer via usb, but I cannot connect to my wifi?
I use a netgear router and WEP.
PDA is running win v.5
Thanks for any replies?

When your PDA is plugged into the computer and active sync is active it will connect to the Internet using your computers connection rather than wifi. I'm not sure if there is a way to stop this, I would guess by stopping the PDA from automatically connecting to active sync on connection (I have seen threads about this around the place, I believe there is a tweak on the wizard wiki to help with this also..). Hope that answers your question.

Hi SYN and thanks for your reply!
Iunderstand now how I am gettin online, but I don't understand why I cannot connect via wifi?
I have added the Wizard to my acces list on my netgear router and I use a WEP for all machines.

So your difficulty lies when your NOT connected to the computer via usb.. Does the PDA see the wireless network? Have you tried the PDA with any other public wireless networks?

Hi Syn.
Yes it does see my WiFi.
Maybe as a newbie, I'm doing something wrong?
I haven't tried connecting to any other network as I can't see any others.
Maybe I wil try that 2morrow when I am in the city centre.

Have you added the WEP key to your PDA when you try and connect? When you try to connect it should provide a notification popup asking for the network key, this should be the hex WEP key, not the passphrase (the passphrase may work, but I've never had luck with using them.)..

Hullo again !
No, I didn't see that?
Is there a "THICK GUIDE TO SETTING UP TO YOUR HOME NETWORK"?

Then thats the issue , ok, *grabs his phone and checks where else you can input the wep key*..
Start --> Settings --> Connections --> Network Cards
This should bring up a menu with the title "Configure Wireless Networks" where you should see a list of already configured networks.. these will generally be networks you have connected too (or attempted to connect to) in the past.
If you click on the SSID of your home network, you will be taken to another menu.. hit the "Network Key" tab at the bottom and add your routers security settings here! Once this is done you should have no problems connecting to the network..

I am having a wifi problem as well. My wife's MDA can connect using the wifi, we're broadcasting in mixed right now, and she doesn't have the tweak for G. I have several things installed, and am running the custom 2.17 TMO usa rom.

now i know that some of these programs do allow G type access. but maybe it's something else. last night at an apple store their hotspot wouldn't work either. in the comm manager it'll say it's connecting, but after a few moments it'll just go back to saying available

Unfortunately I do not have the G tweak installed to test if I have similar issues. I would suggest reversing the G tweak and testing to see if you still have problems connecting to wifi networks, if not then clearly the tweak is causing the problems. To be honest I don't personally see the need in pushing from 11MB to 54MB due to the lack of traffic a PDA will use.

:?: :roll:
Totally thick here!
I see my home wifi and when I tap on it it says :
Network name :
Connects to :
() This is a device to device (ad-hoc) connection
Can't see but I don't see SSID?
I'm a plonker ain't I ? Go on say it :lol:

SSID is the Network name .. sorry technical term. Once you have clicked on your home network in the list, you should be able to follow the rest of the instructions without any problems. However, going to your other thread (the Rom update question) the instructions may differ for your rom version.. If so, it might be an idea to solve that problem first as a Rom update will erase all of this anyway ..

I think your right!
I don't have any option to input my hex key!
I called o2, but they will not let me download the new ROM as the phone is originally Tmobile!
Is there a ROM you can reccomend and then at least I might be able to input my hex key?
Thanks again

I'm not sure which would be the best rom for you as your phone is originally TMobile, I would suggest going into the "Wizard upgrading etc." forum and either asking or searching for threads made by TMobile users on the O2 network. You may find that the latest O2 XDA rom will work perfectly fine on your phone (I dont see why it wouldnt...) but I would double check with someone who knows more about the Wizard before doing anything.
All of the roms for the Wizard can be downloaded from the sites FTP which is in a sticked thread at the top of this forum .

How To connect to a wanadoo live box?

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
rabmc

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.

My XDA2i AS NO WIFI ?

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.
anyone have any suggestions ?
is there a wifi utility manager i can downlload to see if that can see my wifi and maybe enable it ?

i dont seem to have WIRELESS MANAGER

i think wireless manager is a part of 2005 which is not out for IIi

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.

wifi (WPA-PSK-String) problem in htc touch hd?

Hi Guys,
I guess this is my first post in this forum.
Does anyone have any problems connecting the HTC Touch HD device to a router with WPA-PSK String setting?
When I entered the details of the Wi-Fi setting, it stucks in the 'Connecting' status.
I did try disabling the security in my router and the device is connected successfully.
Help! Help! Help!
Any assistances will be much appreciated.
ak

Try using a shorter string and see if that helps.
I remember having trouble with my Wizard and WM5. A connection string that was too long would cause this.
My Touch HD connects fine with WPA-PSK, but cannot connect using WPA2, whereas my Wizard with WM6.1 connects WPA2 quite fine.
Anyone else have this problem?

thanks for your reply.
it is very strange though. I did try various settings of the password: 8 characters, 10 characters, 12 characters using WPA-PSK.
I cannot test WPA2 because my router does not support WPA2 .
hm.. ROM update probably

I have a 10 character wpa-psk string, on a US Robotics access point.
worked instantly.
How about the other settings, TKIP/AES etc?

no data encryption settings in my modem router. could that be a problem? But, my TyTn II is connected to the same modem router and I set it to WPA PSK String with TKIP encryption.
My modem router is quite old. I guess this December is his 5th anniversary .
I might try to connect to my neighbour wifi network tomorrow and check the connectivity.
Thanks guys. If any of you still have tips or instructions to fix this problem, that will be much appreciated.

any update on this issue? help required
I am currently using a HTC touch HD Orange UK with the latest ROM from HTC. I also tried DavideUK 6.1 V6 and 6.5 V7.0. In all cases, I could only connect to public wifi networks but always failed to connect to any WPA-PSK routers.
P.S.: I did try enabling/disabling WPA functionality using advance setting/tweaking tools for WM6.X
Has any one manage to solve this one?
Do we know which NIC is in the Touch HD?
Is there any driver update available?
is the WPA-SPK encryption-decryption done via hardware, software or a combination of both?
Thanks for any provided information.

Solution!!! here for Orange UK unlocked handset
Hi Every one, I finally found a solution for the Orange UK unlocked handset and WIFI with WPA-PSK encryption.
It seems like a contradiction but the only way to get it to work is by reintsalling the orange packages & settings on the top of any ROM you are using (tested with stock rom 1.14, 1.19 and DavideUCK WM6.5 V8). So no way to get away from Orange for the moment.
here is how I proceeded:
- installed ROM 1.14, 1.56 then DavideUCK WM6.5 V8
- installed Orange_UK_by_rabdo_v1.6.cab ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311467) and Orangeworld_Fix_by_rabdo.cab (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316763)
P.S.: both seem required
- checked with Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3.cab that WPA is DISABLED (Yes it is right, I read on some post that status DISABLED was the solution).
now the rest is basic networking by setting password, static or dynamic IP/gateway/router & DNS.
Remaining questions to Rabdo, Davideuck and the developers here:
- What in those 2 orange cab files solved the problem?
- Do Orange HTC Blackstone have a different hardware than factories? or are they using a software solution to handle WPA-PSK encryption instead of hardware encryption?
- are other branded Blackstone suffering from the same issues?
a BIG THANKS to Rabdo for those packages!!!!!!!
P.S.: no Orange splash screen is included in thos CABs ;-)

Just checked with my HD. It can't connect with WPA/PSK. WPA2/PSK is fine irrespective of key length. Looks crazy. Since my router supports WPA2, I never checked this earlier.

I could never connect to WiFi at work where a long key with funky characters is used (WPA2, AES), and according to our admins no WM device has ever been able to do that. Every other device works fine. So it seems like a problem affecting Windows Mobile in general, not just Touch HD.

I think the Edit Box where U enter the key only allows ascii. If U can bypass it then it should be possible. those deep into WM programming might be able to help.

I've had the HD for about 6 weeks now and it's been working fine with my home WIFI, which is WPA2-PSK. But in the last few days it has stopped working for some reason.
It still says connected, but whenever i try to go online or even just update the weather, the program says it's not connected. It's driving me mad
I hadn't changed any of the settings, so i don't know why it's started playing up. I've triple checked everything and the only thing out of the ordinary that i can notice is that my network key is 8 characters and that's what i enter in the appropriate place, but then when i go back in to check it there are 13 characters in the box. Where are these extra ones coming from? I can't tell what they are because it's asterixed out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated because i'm fresh out of ideas!

Hi just have a new HD.
Everything works fine so far but i cannot connect to my router.
Its a brand new Dlink . Al my other devices connect perfectly (pc and htc diamond)
but my HD says its connected (shows IP etc...) but still i cannot connect to the internet or update the weather...
Any ideas ????

Ebola_virus,
Go to settings>Connections>Connections>Advances>Select Networks. Select My Work Network (For "Programs that automatically connect to internet use:")
Next time use search

Same problem here. This has been reported by too many people.. If you search you' ll find many many threads.
Worked fine, then without any change stopped working. WiFi reports it is connected but no program can use the internet.
Setting slider to full perfomance, using work instead of internet, enabling/disabling WAP security, hard resseting, reflashing nothing works!
At least one user reports "cycles" of good/bad operation without changing a thing !
I too am mad and wondering: anyone had it fixed through HTC service?

If you connect to an access point using the standard interface it will set encryption type as AES as standard (regardless of what your AP is set to)
If your access point is configured for TKIP encryption type then you need to manually go in and edit the settings like I have to in order for it to work.
hth.

Can connect but cannot surf
I have a wireless router that is set up using WPA-PSK. I can connect to the router with my HD, but when I use any browser nothing happens. When I go into the routers settings page I can see that my phone has an ip-nr but still nothing happens. Has anyone experienced this and solved the problem? Thanks.

Wifi not working HTC HD2
Hi,
I am using HTC HD2.
I am presently in a university and we have a wifi network here. The wifi network can be accessed by entering a username and password. A proxy also needs to be entered in order to access the internet.
Most of the phones on the campus like iphone or other nokia and samsung phones are able to use the internet very easily. Setting for iphone users are as follows:-
1. Switch on wifi on your iphone
2. Select "Other..." in the list of networks
3. Enter "wifistudent" as the name of the network
4. Select security type as "WPA–PSK 2 Enterprise"
5. Put your username and password
And for Nokia E series the settings are:-
Create a new Connection Name - say e.g. wifi
Data Bearer: Wireless lan
Wlan network home: wifistudent
Advanced Settings (in options)
Enter Proxy Server Address (192.168.32.x) and Proxy Port Number (8080)
Network status: hidden
WLAN network mode: infrastructure
WLAN security mode: 802.1 xs
WLAN security settings:
WPA/WPA2: EAP
EAP plugin settings
1. EAP LEAP
[Options>edit]
User name: xxxxx
Prompt for password: no
Password: *****
2. EAP PEAP (disabled)
(all others disabled)
Based on above information, I want to ask you two questions:-
Question 1) I hope based on above settings for the other phones you can help me find how to configure wifi on my phone.
Question 2) Where do I enter the proxy server so that the wifi network uses the proxy server. Right now I was only able to set up a proxy server for GPRS connection. Not for my wifi connection.
I would quite thankful if you can let me know how to configure the wifi on my phone.
Regards,
Mohit Goyal

HD2 Suddenly Wont Load Pages Via Wifi

Hey guys, my hd2 was working fine connection wise using 3g or wifi but a couple of hours ago, whilst connected to my wifi network I cannot load any pages using opera or internet explorer. There is nothing wrong with the wifi network as im using it now on my pc to type this message,
The wierdest thing is, I can still browse the router config page by typing the router ip address into opera (192.168.1.1) etc. But when I go to any external page I get the error: "could not locate remote server"
Has anyone ever come accross this before?
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Ive already deleted the network from the hd2 and added it again but im getting the same thing. Ive also done a soft reset but still the same

Sorry, have no solution .. just want to report that I am having the exact same problem. WiFi connects, but no web pages can be loaded ... Any hint is welcome.

Can you guys check what IP-adress you have during this error?
You find the IP-adress by going to ConnManager -> WLAN-> Advanced -> Advanced (I have swedish rom so I might have translated the titles wrong).

For me, I can tell that I have an IP (169.254.248.92) which is not in the address range of my router. I suspect it is an IP of my mobile operator, from the GSM/UMTS connection the HD2 had before WiFi was connected.

i have ip 192.168.1.1
my router ip is 192.168.1.254

i just managed to get this problem sorted. i looked at the settings for my wireless adapter and for some reason the ip address was configjred fo 192 168 1 1. i changed it to auto and eveything is working fine now. i should have suspected this earlier but as i didnt change any settings i just ruled it out

I have this problem too. Do you do these changes to your phone or your router?

In my phone.

Could you run/instruct me through this please?

Hi, I just had the same problem and I thought I was going to have to do a hard reset until I found this thread. This site is great - answers for everything.
How I did it:
- go to settings
- menu at the bottom right
- more
This brings you to what I think are the Windows mobile settings.
- Connections ( or similar)
- WLAN
-Wireless network ( the upper box)
- tab at bottom for network cards
-there are 2 802.11 adapters listed. Check both and make sure the IP address is given by the server.
Sorry if some of the descriptions may be wrong above but I have the German version.
It worked for me so good luck.
Why it happened? - no idea. Anybody any ideas how to stop it from happening again?

Think I might have the same issue
IP adress might not be correct.
However I have to confess (with humility) that I did not manage to see what was the IP adress configured on my HD2.
Can someone kindly give me some details on how to do this ?
This rubbish is starting to drive me crazy and my wife is just having fun because her iPhone connected immediately....
Can't let her win...

Changing settings on both network adapters worked for me, tnx
ROM: 1.48.479.1

Many thanks folks I had the same issue.

Thanks - worked for me too. I found I had to power down and restart in order for the changes to take effect. I also suspect that it may have been my mobile provider that knackered it as it was working fine prior to my previous mobile number being ported - it went bandy the day that the number was ported and they sent through some updates........which was nice!

So I think I figured out what is causing this at least on my end. I had the same issue and the solution on this thread worked. What I noticed in mind was that when I turned on WiFi sharing (not available with the TMobile version HD2, I had to install it myself), it automatically sets the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter to use specific IP address. I'm assuming this is normal in order for other devices to find an IP address to connect to it. Once its turned off, it does not reset it back to Use server-assigned IP address. Pretty annoying. If anyone knows where I can find a .cab file for the wifi sharing program that does this let me know. Either what, this is what I noticed on my device. Might not be the case for everyone. Hope this helps.

I found a reply in the archive:
Hi, I just had the same problem
How I did it:
- go to settings
- menu at the bottom right
- more
This brings you to what I think are the Windows mobile settings.
- Connections ( or similar)
- WLAN
-Wireless network ( the upper box)
- tab at bottom for network cards
-there are 2 802.11 adapters listed. Check both and make sure the IP address is given by the server.
***********************
I have the same problem when i install Cookie Home Tab (no web pages loading)
I get as far as the connection folder
i'm then confronted by
Account manager
comm manager
advanced network
connection setup
connections
wifi
i doesn't matter which folder i open there is no folder at the bottom called 'network cards'.
I have now opened every wifi/network accocciated folder on my HD2 and can find nothing where there are 2 802.11 adapters listed.
I also found another thread in the archive where 'crapbag172' had an
ip address was configjred 192 168 1 1 and changed it to auto.
How do you do that because i have the same ip but cannot change it.
If i can't get this sorted this weekend i will sell HD2 on ebay
