hi
right now it automatically connects to my router at home when in comm manager i choose wifi, is there a way i can do it manually ? or how can i basically choose which network to connect to ?
With wifi turned on...
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Network Cards -> Wireless tab then tap and hold on the access point or ad hoc connection you want to connect to instead (assuming it's available).
If you don't have wifi turned then you won't see the Wireless tab after you go into Network Cards so don't freak out

Hi,
I ad the same problem.
You have to do the follwoing:
Goto
Settings
Connections
Wirelless Lan
Use the Menu to select the option Networks Cards
Select the networks adapters tab
Select the option:
My Network card connects me to:
The Internet
This should fix the problem
At least for me it worked.
regards,
One thing i'm totally confused and lost about, with my new Vario II, is its apparent inability to use the wifi preferentially to access the internet.
T-mobile havent been able to help so far but I will keep leaning on them. The basic question I have is that:
When connected to wifi, I know I can get access to the internet because my laptop is doing it right now. If the wifi is connected (and it works because im transferring files across file sharing), why does the GPRS dial when I fire up an internet app like ie/msn messenger?
What do I need to do to this phone to make it prefer wifi over 3g/gprs?
Also, is it just my device, or is wifi on all these dog slow? It took nearly 1.5 minutes to copy a 4 meg mp3! ~384kbps?!
Start > Settings > Network Cards > Network Adapters (Tab) > "My network card connects to:" The Inernet
That should solve your problem. To a point, anyway. For som reason, Push mail is still GPRS only.
My TyTN uses WiFi when available otherwise it automatically choses HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS to get connected to Internet. To achieve it I set my system in the following way:
Start > Settings > Network Cards > Network Adapters (Tab) > "My network card connects to:" The Inernet (as rassah stated above)
Configure your GPRS connection as My Work Network.
Under Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select_Networks (Network Management tab) set both drop-down
1. "Program that automatically connect to the Internet shoud connect using" -> My Work Network
2. "Program that automatically connect to the Private Network shoud connect using " to My Work Network -> My Work Network
Ahhhh.. I've eventually solved this, I think. Even with what was suggested here, I had difficulty and the phone would not dial gprs -> it just said "cannot connect with your current settings"
It was the last line of what JohnieWalker said that got me thinking - there is a slight typo on the line but other than that, his advice led me to the solution.
For other people experiencing this difficulty, I offer the following advice:
Click Start, Settings, Connections tab. All the applets you need to use are on this screen
Use the Network Cards applet, Network Adapters tab, highlight the wireless card and tell the phone it connects to Work
-- This apparently does something different to choosing "The Internet" in that it allows file sharing etc. The word Work in this context is completely unrelated to the default connection called "My Work Connection"
Use the Wireless LAN applet to connect to your wifi network
In the Connections applet, Advanced tab, press Select Networks
Set both dropdowns to "My Work Connection"
On the tasks Tab, the display has changed to "My Work Connection" -> Choose Manage Existing Connections and add a New one via the button
Enter the details to dial your gprs. These are all over the web
You end up with a connection that is set up identically to the default T-Mobile Internet one (in my case) - for some reason the default one always dials the GPRS whether the wifi is on or not. This one I just added behaves as i expect - if the wifi is on, it uses it, if not, it dials.. Weird!
I have my CHT9000 for months. Despite reading through posting regarding how to setup network, I am still lost. Is there an guide somewhere for dummies?
For example:
1. How does one setup GPRS to access internet via the phone carrier?
2. However, each time my neighbor's wifi is within range, it tries to connect. How to get it to only connect to mine instead of connecting, flirting around anywhere?
Okay, dummy questions.
(1) Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Add a new modem connection -> Select a modem -> Cellular Line (GPRS). For settings and stuff, you need to google for it for your local telco.
(2) When you have your WiFi on, Start ->Settings ->Connections -> Network Cards
(under 'Wireless'), you should see the available networks. Click and hold, and select Remove Settings. It should not connect automatically next time.
i used to be able to get on the internet on my dash(smartphone) by connecting it to my router i have here at my house. i would turn on wifi and it would show the available networks then i would chose my home one. but now on my wing it doesnt give me an option where can see available networks.
anyone know how to get my phone to connect to my home internet?
Mine connects to any network with any encryption type i throw at it w/o a problem
Try Setting -> Connections -> Wi-Fi Status
i dont have wifi status...
I don't know if this is a bug or if it is supposed to be this way, but if I tell the wifi connection to connect to internet I can't access my network shares I have on my computers on the network, but if I choose connect to work then it will work, but the problem is that if I choose work some applications that uses the internet will not work, Marketplace for example. How do I configure Wifi so it can access my home network and at the same time all internet applications will work?
I don't know for sure if this will help but you could try the following:
Start -> Settings -> Menu: All Settings -> Connections -> Connections - Advanced -> Select Networks.
Set your data connection from your provider in both options ("Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using" and "... to a private network should connect using"). Tap OK.
The network you selected should have "This network connects to the internet" checked in it's proxy settings. That way you're telling the phone that you don't have a dedicated work connection . Make sure your WFi connects to the internet as well.
This is how my phone is setup, and everything seems to be working (shares and internet access on LAN via WiFi) just fine. I specified also that "my computer connects to - the internet" in Mobile Device Center -> connection settings...
Maybe this will work? I'm really not sure, just a guess. There is some logic in it, but the Data connection settings shouldn't affect WiFi...
