WiFi Connecttion

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 !!!

unable to connect to wifi

hi all i have just bought a 02 xda11i i have a home network consisting of 1 laptop 1 wireless router(belkin54g)the router is connected to my cable modem.i have my laptop upstairs and it connects to my wifi router perfect using wpa/psk but i cant get the xda to connect to my wifi any help would be appreciated as i am about to give up trying thanks in advance.

bump please help

have you tried changing the authentication on the router to WEP which is well tested on XDA’s, or even disabling security just to test connectivity.

hi marc
thanks for replying i think i will try what you say and change my router from wpa 2/psk/tkip and switch to wep as i say my router is a belkin 54g which can run 802,11,b+g my laptop is g and the xda2i is b ive read that if i connect the zda then it will force the router to downgrade from g to b will connecting the zda effect my laptop if they are connected at the same time?allso the routers firewall is on can i leave this on when attempting to connect the zda?as you can probably tell i am a newb at networking,any help from this forum would be a massive help thanks.i am looking forward to having it connected to the web.

you should have your router set to mixed mode. it will not effect the performance with the laptop. firewall will not effect, as long as the relevent ports are not blocked, which they wont be as default. make sure you are not using mac filtering, unless you add the mac address of the router. again this is off by default. although when you get comfortable, mac address filtering + WEP make a good security system. hiding the network ID and giving it an unusual name is best, but a bugger to set up.
strip the system down to bare essentials, then get your device connected, and start adding back. that standard network diagnosis.

access unsecured network

i wants to know how can i access some unsecured network that are near my work place. Basically there are some unsecured network near my work, i have tried to connect to these networks so that i can use internet. However i have no luck in accessing it.
Do i need to enter any ip address in the network adapter or the ip address is automatically taken????
At the moment i have assigned the ip address to 192.168.1.201 so that i can connect to my orange live box.
Thanks in advance

it depend on the wifi router setup
as default it run dhcp and asign you an ip
but that can be turned off
some wifi's require a login to the internet isp's site or telnet to open for internet (i know my home one does)
also you cant really see if a wifi router use mac filtering
for security then it will just not route for you if your mac add is not on it's list

WM6 + Wifi - WPA+TKIP

I have a wifi router at my office - Netgear, I am using WPA-TKIP as security options, the problem i am facing is - i have setup a passphrase on the router, but on phone, it just asks for network key, i need a way to enter a pass phrase, are there any updates to wifi for WM6 which can help me to get out of this situation?
I cannot change my existing WIFI settings on router, my other machines and devices are using the same configuration and now if i change it to WEP or something else, i will have to upload all other machines.
I cannot move to an open system as well.
please help

wpa without wpa-psk wont protect your network from being used by other ppl. i suggest u to choose wpa-psk (pre-shared-key). u choose a password and it is easy to setup for the other clients on your wireless lan. just enter password one time on the other clients and they are online. and wpa-psk works with wm6. greetz spaxxi

Where it says Network Key is where you enter the passphrase as used on your router.
On my SPV E650 (vox) I have WPA-PSK with data encryption set to TKIP
Use IEE 802.1x network access control box ticked and EAP type as smart card or certificate.
Also I have set networks to access as All available but on my netgear under wirless settings I have set up enable access list with the mac of the phone (which you can get from connection settings or with wirless on the phone switched on the router should detect the mac from phone broadcast which you can then accept as a trusted station.
This means only my phone can connect to the router even though my ssid is broadcast.
Hope that helps.

the sip client you have works
w pa-st k is the best most efficient way to run and your net gear has 3 different ways in but the paraphrase is fine. use the para phrase where it says key go right through it, if i recall the client has ports but ur going direct you dont need it. Your just and to log into your router regular client is for web based app go right at the router use wififofum and then just make sure your sip is on meaning registry is live dont worry about the settings. Let me try to make sense all next ell are voip just an ip i don't care what anyone says. your do not need a web based sip just leave the sip alone but try activating it remember it a phone turn it on but 1 thing give out static ips u will succeed. static wpa-stk intra net ur just taking to the device no need for any barriers. you could hook up computer up slap head phones and a mic in the analog jacks from the 80's and you have no succeeded in ? Voip. all that matters is the router is set right and sees only you for the duration of your call. Most likely wil end up turning that whit wpn8xxx into a access point have fun don't ask. But it only took me 3 hours to realize i left to come back into my office for what a paid for call. And the day wireless is everywhere i will be a lan expert.
ciao good luck don't orry just look at it and you will see what makes sense.
