Need tons of help with Wi-Fi PLEASE - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

alright i need help connecting to my home wireless router. (and yes it is a wireless G router, i just installed that thing that lets it work with wireless G)
alright so here is what i do step by step.
1. hit the comm manager button, and hit WLAN so it connects.
2. choose my account
3. enter the network key
4. I hit settings, and i see i have a great signal
5. a pop up says "unable to assign a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings".
6. I hit settings in comm manager then hit wi-fi settings
7. I see all my info on the main button and i hit the advanced button
8. Status = associated to network... Mac address is filled in... IP says 0.0.0.0 and i can't change that.
if anybody can help me that would be great.
9. now after a long time of not doing anything, a pop up says the network key is incorrect. enter the correct key and tap connect. Except I know it was correct because i entered it very carefully, and all my info (#7) showed up.
somebody help me

try static ip allocation
start>settings>connections > network cards > WLAN card> IP, subnetmask, dns gateway...etc etc u know the drill

alright I put in all of those settings, but still when i turn wifi on, it still asks me for my network key, and still try's connecting to the normal WLAN.... ughhh...

Seems to me like your security settings arent quite right, but thats a guess. I had a similar problem with a PC when I had enabled MAC filtering. You don't have that turned on on your router do you.
To rule out (or in) security settings, I would disable my routers security and make sure I could log on to an open network, then go from there.

Oh I know i can log into an open network, I did at a coffee shop a little while ago. And I know I can connect to my router, my other computer is and so can my PSP.

I have a similar problem. I didnt have this problem a couple of weeks ago and managed to connect without a problem. However now I'm having the same symptoms as the first poster.
When I disabled the security setings on my router, I managed to connect and received an IP address. However DNS was not working. Explorer refused to bring up any page. I couldnt even access my router's home page using just the IP address. I even tried entering the DNS IP address manually but this didnt solve the problem. Skype managed to connect without a problem though.

I had the same issue even after I turned off the security, mac filter etc. It would connect once but after a suspend, it wouldn't connect at all. I have a d-Link DI614+ router. Finally figured out that the MDA was not going thru the channels properly. I had my router set to 10 and it would not budge beyond 11. I just changed the router channel to default to 11 and turned on security and filtering one by one and everything worked. My advice is to set the router to a default state and attempt to connect it. If that doesn't work, throw a temper tantrum and remove all settings on the MDA and go thru step by step again...

XDAIIi wi-fi problem

Hi all. I looked at several wi-fi posts on here, but couldn't find anything related to my problem.
I'm beginning to suspect that it's because of something stupid I'm doing, cos it really should be working...
Anyhoo ...I have a wireless router at home, and it's serving 3 PCs with DHCP IP addresses, and an internet connection. I have no issues with it.
What I'm trying to do now is get my shiny new XDAIIi to connect, so that I can have the damn thing on the internet. So far, no luck.
Now, I have got the XDA to detect my SSID. It detects all the settings, and tells me it's connected. I even have a signal strength bar on it which reads about 50%.
However, when I set it to pick up a DHCP address it stubbornly refuses, remaining with a "I can't see a DHCP server" 169.x.x.x address.
I've tried reserving an address on the router and allocating it to the MAC address of the XDA, and manually setting the XDA to have that IP address, entering my router as the gateway, and even entering 2 valid DNS server IPs from my ISP into the name server entries. Still nothing. It says it's connected with the IP address I allocated, but I have no net connection, and I can't ping that address from any of my PCs.
All the while the status screen on the router tells me that the device, with it's MAC address, is connected to the router fine.
Surely this has to be something simple. I have set up all the clients and router for my network, and the settings on the XDA are pertty much the same, and really SHOULD be working.
I'm kinda at my wits end.
So basically any suggestions or advice, or anyone with similar experiences please get in touch, cos I'm struggling to see what I've done wrong, and it's giving me an ulcer.
Many thanks in advance.

3COM WAP (3CRWE454G72) - XDA IIi WIFI Problems
Hi Jess,
I very much share your frustration.
I have a 3COM WAP (3CRWE454G72) which has served me well. I have a few machines at home working from it. At work we have 20+ machines working from the same model (older firmware).
My specs are as follow:
3C number 3CRWE454G72
Software version 1.03.07A
Boot loader version 1.00.00
Wireless version V1.0.2.1
Hardware version R01A
Don't have the office one's specs here at the moment ...
At work I can get an IP address (there's a windows DHCP server) .. AND I can ping google and traceroute to google. BUT, XDA IIi doesn't seem "know" that it's connected (e.g. network settings shows the WAP as available, but not connected). SKYPE even works!! But nothing else, no IE, no Terminal Services Client, no Avant Go, no network ActiveSync. They all say that the is no network card configured (but with vxUTIL, vxIPCONFIG, etc). I can see ALL the IP details from the DHCP server.
At home it's worse. I can't even get it to connect to the WAP (either with WEP 128, WEP 64 or encryption turned off). As I'm not even getting an IP address at home from the WAP's DHCP server, I've built a new DHCP server on my one linux box and it works for all my machines ... now I can actually trace requests from devices for IP's ... and the XDA IIi never requests an IP address. Which tells me that it's not even getting through the first stages of connecting with the WAP (again tried WEP, NO WEP).
To make things worse. I have been able to connect to some open WAP's in the neighbourhood ... everything functioning normal.
I'm losing the will to live here also ... ;-)
Wolfie
the plot thickens...
Hi Wolfie.
Well, at this end I seem to have more news.
By removing all WEP encryption and removing the MAC address access restriction I had enabled, I got the XDAIIi online, and all was working.
I then enabled the security a step at a time, and at each step updated the configuration on the handheld, and it still all worked. I was so pleased.
)
However this morning I have come to put the thing online again, and once again it refuses to pick up a DHCP address.
I tried my process again, and this time it wont work.
It definitely seems that it's the encryption that's stopping it, but I can't get it working this morning.
When I disabled everything I managed to get it online, but then re-enabling the security killed it and I can't get it to come online again.
SIGH
Oh well, I will try again later. Fussy thing. Anyone ever manage to solve this ??
Jess
have u tried soft reseting the device and retrying, sometimes that cures these hiccups

WIFI WOES
Jess, thanks for the reply. There's hope. ;-)
I have tried your approach yesterday. However, to no avail. At home I completely opened my WAP, e.g. any MAC, no WEP/WPA, etc. But still nothing. When I look at my log files on the WAP. I can see plenty of entries coming from my XDA IIi ...
04 min(s) 41 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:09:2D:14:C9:F2 has connected with the device
04 min(s) 43 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:09:2D:14:C9:F2 has connected with the device
04 min(s) 45 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:09:2D:14:C9:F2 has connected with the device
04 min(s) 46 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:09:2D:14:C9:F2 has connected with the device
04 min(s) 48 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:09:2D:14:C9:F2 has connected with the device
04 min(s) 50 sec(s) after system power on : Wireless MAC address 00:09:2D:14:C9:F2 has connected with the device
... and it just goes on and on and on .... while trying to connect.
At the same time in all connections attemps, I don't get a single entry in my DHCP servers log saying that my XDA II attempted to connect.
Jim: I've tried hard resets, soft resets, O2 Active installed, Corporate mode, pretty much everything my single brain-cell can come up with. ;-)
The thing is definitely a little fiddly indeed ...
The search goes on ...
... anybody out there got their XDA IIi working with WIFI using DHCP and WEP or WPA?
Did you ever get this working?
I have a shiny new XDAIIi and have been trying to get connected via my Cisco Aironet 1200 WAP. The device happily detects my network, accepts the WEP key fine (complains if I enter the wrong key so I know it's communicating) but refuses to pick up an IP address. The Wireless LAN Manager just sits there "Scanning network..."
I firmly belive I'm just missing something but...........
Any help gratefully received :?

I got my QTek 2020i today and for the life of me I can't get it to connect to the internet using my wifi connection @ home
I also have a 3COM router 3CRWE754G72-A and I have my home pc connected to this and also occassionally my work PC - both with no probs.
I can get the qtek to connect and I get a 50% signal strength and I can view an IP address and everything looks good but I can't seem to setup a "Connection" as required by IE?
This is what I get:
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settins"
I tap settings and I get this:
My ISP
Add a new modem connection
My ISP
Add a new modem connection
Add a new VPN server connection
Set up my proxy server
I've gone into each of these and had a "play" but I still can't get the bloody thing to work :evil:
Can someone PLEASE help as this is starting to drive me mad! - I'm not giving up easily...I've been trying to get this to work for a good 4 hours now and I can't find anything in the manual or on the web that helps...this post was the closest I could fine >>> hence the bump!

have you try to configure the network cards in the connection setting and set the internet using the tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet?

Okay, I can get the connection to read "connected" via the Wireless Lan Manager and I can get an IP address - which is totally different to all the other PC's that use my wifi connection - they're all 192.168.1.x whereas this is very different? - the address that I get isn't even the same as the IP Address of my router - I have a static IP address so I know this isn't changing???
Also, when I view the network card page I see the following:
Configure Wireless Networks
Add New...
3Com Available
I can click on this and view the settings for it or I can hold-click and get the option of connecting. If I do this, it just says "connecting"; it never actually says "connected"?
Anyone know where I can get a walkthrough for this?

3 Com Routers
Hi, DotN
I put a 3Com router in my local pub.
I have no problem connecting to it and solving the usual pub talk problems with it.
If you are getting a connection but your IP address starts with 169.254 then I would say you have a WEP problem. The software only appears to check for incorrectly formatted WEP keys, so either turn it off or make sure you enter the correct key. When selecting connect to a router the message sticks on connecting, come out of the screen and go back in after about 30 secs. Check you ip address. I have had some issues with GRPS trying to connect, but they seem to go away after a couple of hides.
I have to say that I am not over the moon with my XDA2i, but the wifi part has worked pretty well for me.

Hi Paddy
Thanks for the info. You're bang on with the IP Address!...169.254.x.x
So what encryption can I use?
I've deffinately got the correct password but it's obviously not working
Cheers
Wayne
Hi again
Okay, I've just checked the encryption and I'm using WPA-PSK authentication with TKIP encryption.
Is this what you had?
Cheers

3 Com Routers
Are you using a password or 13 Hex pairs, I use the pairs. Try either turning wep of completely or entering 26 1s. Remove your setting for your ap in Configure Wireless Networks screen then reconnect.
Let me know what happens

Okay, I've basically removed all security from my wifi setup. I live in the middle of nowhere so it's not a problem - although once I get the wifi working I'll try and get the security going again.
I still can't get a connection
...stop the press!
Okay, I had a thought...maybe I can't connect because of the speed?
the router is a 11g but supports 11b (which is what the QTek 2020i/XDA IIuses) - sure enough, I had the 11g only option selected - DOH!
removed that and I've managed to connect without security.
I assume this was my problem all along...will now stick the security back on and try again
Thanks again Paddy
Cheers
Wayne
Update: I've now managed to get the wifi working with WPA-SPK authentication using TKIP encryption
all along it was simply a case of me having the speed on the router set above what the PDA was capable of! I'd set this ages ago when I first setup my wlan and had forgotten about it cause everything I use is 11g
Cheers again

Doh!...nope, not working again...back to the 169.254.x.x problem.
It's obviously to do with the encryption this time. I'll try some other variations - at least I know that it can work :roll:

Wayne
Ouch......
No hard feeling, glad you found the problem
Paddy
bump!
pretty much same prob!
i can get an ip, have to check what it is, it tells me its connected on the scanning network page but on the other bit it tells me its available or connecting but never connects!
i've turned wep off and still no joy!
its really starting to drive me mad!
please please someone help
Take a read back through the last lot of posts between myself and MacPad - I think you'll find the answer there.
For me, I had to totally disable my security and everything else - I could then connect. Once I'd done that, I managed to use WEP with a 26 digit key - start by using something like "0" 26 times...make sure u count as u type them zero's in though as if u get it wrong it won't work!
apart from that, not sure what to say. If you're getting the 164.x.x.x ip address though then as MacPad said, it's to do with the security.
I would mention that the XDAIIi/Qtek 2020ii use 11mbps wifi (b) and not 54mbps (g) so make sure u've got ya router configured to allow both types of connection...this eventually turned out to be my main problem - doh!
Cheers
Wayne
ok now im home ive re-read and done the things mentioned. with a completely unsecure connection i can get a connecation, but the moment i use any kind of encryption (im using wep 64bit, but tried 128bit as well) no matter what key i use i get a split second of connection then its gone!
firewall is not on either.
any ideas??
thank for the suggestions guys im finally progressing

Wireless Problem

Done a search on various site but still no joy.
Just got a o2 XDA Mini S yesterday.But I cannot get it to connect to my wireless network at home.Its an open network, with a laptop,3 PC's,2 xbox's accessing it various times of day.All connect no problem.
My xda says my network is available,but cannot connect to it. Do I need to put in IP addresses in manually ? On the network cards section, it the SDIO WLAN wireless adapter that is used ?
Have tried allsorts,
First Question,
Is your WiFi router set to DHCP mode. If so then check that your device is also set to DHCP mode. If not change router to DHCP check that all your other devices are set to DHCP then you should automatically be allocated an IP address. A useful utility is WiFi Companion.
This scans for available networks and allows you to connect. it will also show you the IP address you have been assigned.
You could assign an IP address manually but this will have to be changed every time you walk on to another network. DHCP is better.
Regrads
Thanks for the info DW, it is my router,popped round a mates last night and it connected to his network ok.
Will check what you said and the firewall
not sure by what you mean exactly by open network.
but are you using MAC address filtering?
when I got the Sony Laptop, I was so eager to get it all setup etc, that I forgot bout the filtering, it would see the network, but refused to connect.
I'm having the same problem. My Exec can see the network but not connect. I investigated it a bit more and for some reason it keeps trying to use the same IP address as my laptop. It also cannot connect to the net to update Avant Go when it's syncing (via my laptop).
I've tried connecting with all other devices switched off, to avoid the IP address conflict, but still cannot connect to the internet.
I'm pretty much stumped.
Setting the Wireless power setting for best performance was the trump for me.
On my Vario - Settings - Connections - Wireless LAN - Power Mode
Thanks for the suggestion. I gave it a try but unfortunately it didn't help.
If my laptop is switched off my Exec can connect to my D-Link router, but I cannot access any internet resources. I presume that somewhere in the settings is the solution but I can't find it.
EXCELLENT db44!!!
For some reasons setting wireless "best performance" wortked for me too. Wizard (QTEK 9100 - gray market I guess as QTEK did not register on their site for me). I will still try Opera too.
Kind regards,
Oleg.
www.nano-science.com
same thing happened to my qtek. it detected the network but could not connect and sometimes when it got connected, i still couldn't surf the net. is there anything in the settings that i'm missing? i also tried to enter the IP address manually but no luck either.
My O2 XDA Mini arrived yesterday. It sees my wireless network (as well as two others in my neighborhood) but cannot/will not connect. I've tried everything I've read above - which confirms I'm on the right trail, but...
The D-Link DI-624 wireless router is in DCHP mode. I've dropped all security for connection trials. I've put the MAC address of the XDA in the router, just in case. I cannot find the IP address of the Mini (how do you do that?), but have tried with and without allowing the router to assign it a random and an assigned IP address. My router does NOT have the default (198.162, etc, etc IP address.) so I've been careful not to blindly follow standard instructions. Of course, I have tried with specific IP addresses, default gateway (router), etc, etc.
One clue is that after trying for a long time to connect to the networks it finds, I got one error message from the XDA saying it could not be assigned an IP address from the network(s). Good clue - wish I know what it means.
There are only limited settings to check on the XDA, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something on the router. Any ideas? Many thanks.

Elfin can't connect to belkin N router

Hello... Got a Touch recently, and doing research found this forum. One of the best findings lately for me: already flashed the phone with a WM6.1 ROM and updated my radio successfully. But I have a problem (even before the flashing):
I can't connect to my wifi. I have a belkin N router. Have tested almost everything: updated the router's ROM, updated the phone's radio, turned off security, assigned manual IP's, etc, but with no success... so I'm running out of ideas. I can connect to another people's wifi's tho.
Anything I have missed? Just an incompatibility? (which means I'm screwed)
Thanks a lot
is t on n only mode?
touch is g/b as u probably know
if not, try with no security to see if it connects
Yeah, it is in a multiband setup (g/b/n).
Also tested with no security. No sucess.
I have the same problem, I'll let you know if I find a solution.
Same thing... I'm trying to figure out a solution, any findings, will post here.
I tried to connect my Touch to my old netgear 802.11b router at home without any success. I did a lot of "googling" on the subject, and only found that many concluded that it wasn't possible to do so.
Also, I have AT&T, and they are offering free hotspot WIFI connectivity to their customers (which is intended for laptops). My touch detects the WIFI signals, but I have yet to find out how to make a connection.
It seems like there should be a way to do it somehow though!
Anyway...
Best Regards!
pl, when you go into your Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi, can you see your wireless network being detected?
The only things that spring to mind at the moment, are the basics for normal connection ...
1. Network type (B/G/N)
2. Authentication (password)
3. MAC Filtering
Here's what I would do ...
1. Reset router (usually has default button at the back).
2. Set it up for DHCP (sometimes cures a lot of problems).
3. Set simple WEP with password.
4. Obviously a network name (make sure it is not hidden, also make sure AP is enabled)
5. Set channel
6. Set mode (Network type) to mixed.
7. Save and reboot.
8. Soft reset Touch
9. Go to Settings -> Connections -> Wireless LAN
10. Activate Wireless and see if your SSID (network name) pops up. From here you can see signal quality and IP (to make sure you got it from DHCP).
Give it a shot and let us know what happens.
same problem here, really annoying!
Strange, I have never had problems with mine (had it connected to a couple AP's already). In fact, it's easier than connecting my laptop to a WLAN.
You have anything else that can connect to your Router? pc or something.
My Touch can connect to other routers, and I have 2 PCs at home which connect to my Belkin N router, I just can't connect my Touch to it.

Customer Call Details Nov 13 2008 04:37
I have an HTC Touch that can connect to other hotspots, but not to my home Belkin router. Sometimes, if there is another connection available, it can see the router, and says that it is Available, but cannot connect; other times it won't even see it. I have checked for firmware updates, but I have the latest. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Belkin Response Nov 14 2008 22:18
Hi Lilburd,
Thank you for contacting Belkin Technical Support.
We understand that the HTC Touch does not connect to the router. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Please follow the steps given below to update the firmware and configure the router:
We recommend that you update the firmware from a computer that is connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
Please download the latest firmware on the router from the link given below. Download the file "3.01.29":
http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=10288&scid=0
and save it to the computer.
- To update the firmware, log on to the router`s web interface by typing in http://192.168.2.1 in the address bar of the browser. The computer should be
connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
Note: If you have changed your Router’s IP address, use that IP address.
- By default, the password is blank. Click the "Submit" button.
- Click on "Firmware Upgrade" under the option "Utilities".
- Click on “Browse” and select the bin file that you have downloaded.
- Click on “update” and follow the wizard.
- After updating the firmware, restore the router to factory defaults by clicking on "Restore Factory Defaults" under "Utilities".
- Reconfigure the router.
Please follow the steps given below for configuring the router:
- Connect the computer to the "LAN" port on the router and connect the modem to the Internet/"WAN" port, using Ethernet cables.
- Take a paper clip, insert the paper clip in the reset hole of the router and hold it for 15 seconds.
- The power light will flash and then come back "ON" solid, indicating that the router is being restored to factory defaults.
- The corresponding lights on the front of the router should be lit up.
- On the computer, check if you have an IP address in the range of 192.168.2.x.
- If not, specify a static IP address, gateway and "DNS" address by following the steps given in the link-
http://web.belkin.com/support/kb/kb.asp?a=2824
- Log on to the router web interface by typing in http://192.168.2.1, in the address bar of your browser.
- By default, the password is blank.
- Click on "Connection Type" in the left hand column under "Internet WAN" heading.
If the connection type is Dynamic (cable):
- Choose "Dynamic" and then click on "Next".
- Type in your “Host Name”, if your Internet Service Provider has provided it. Else, leave it blank.
- Click on "Change WAN MAC Address".
- Click on the button "Clone".
- Click on "Apply Changes".
If the connection type is PPPOE (DSL):
- Choose "PPPOE" and click on "Next".
- Enter the user name and password given by your Internet Service Provider.
- Save the settings.
- Click on the "Home" link at the top of the screen.
Internet Status should show "Connected" on the top right hand corner of the web page.
If the problem persists, please get back to us with the following information:
1. Type of connection provided by your ISP (Is it PPPOE, Dynamic or static).
2. Name of the Internet service provider (ISP).
3. Version number of the router. You would find the version number on the bottom of the device. It would be a number in a series of thousands with a prefix “ver.”.
4. If the internet connection is stable on the computers using the router?
5. If the HTC Touch detects and connects to other networks in the neighborhood?
Lilburd, if you need further assistance please feel free to write back to us and we will be happy to assist you.
Regards,
Belkin Technical Support.
That really is strange. The way I see it, WLAN is a standard. It's like BT, any headset should work with any BT phone, as would any wireless device work with any wireless device
Maybe force the router to only broadcast in G (or even B) and see what happens? (I know, I'm reaching now )
Tried everything so far, no success. Even with no security enabled.
same problem here, Very Annoying, tried every thing

Utter nonsense...
I just got my Touch Diamond from Sprint and am having the same issue. I have a Belkin N+ Router that is in g/b/n wireless setting.
The phone just simply will not see the SSID even if you put the settings in there manually. What it does see however is the guest SSID my router emits and connected to it without any issues. The guest account is a feature of my router gives friends access to the web but denies access to internal network.
Out of curiosity changed my routers wireless bands to only G/B and all of a sudden my phone can see the network. Unfortunately for me I rely on the N part of my network to connect my laptops and do streaming HD so leaving it on G/B is not acceptable.
I just connect via the guest account, anyways its not like my phone would have been able to see the internal home network anyways.
Just my 2cents
I have the same issue.
Used to use a D_Link G router, but recently upgraded to a belkin N-draft one.
My laptop connects on G, and my desktop on N, so I can't switch N off and just use G.
Anyone found a solution yet? It's bugging the hell out of me!
I posted a fix on page one that should work. You have to update your firmware.
Did u all using any encryption security?
128bit WEP - touch have a problem of connection
64 bit WEP - works
have you enabled easypairing, (WiFi easypairing : Enabled) if so turn it off or press the required button sequence on the router to connect.

Wifi is connected but i cannot surf

hi there , i can see that my Polaris is connected to my router via wpa2-psk
as it's MAC and ip are showed in router
I also see that an IP is assigned to my Polaris , but i cannot surf the internet
Tried IE , Opera and YouTube
Anybody has a suggestion?
depend on your network setup really
as take me my wifi dont have direct uplink
so i have to manualy set ip's and gateway and dsn to my
pda to match the computer which is the gateway and what
dns it have
you can get that in windows in a console by ipconfig /all
and manualy set my ip within the same subnet as the computer
which is gateway

THANKS!!!WORKS!!!!
you'd better check your router's DHCP settings as your provider might wish to change his DNS server addresses in the future and your device will keep using old, static ones
same but different?
Greetings:
this thread title describes my problem, but have to admit that I'm not certain the fix described above would apply to me (or perhaps I just didn't understand the answer??)
My setup:
HTC Advantage x7501 (freshly done a "hard reset") running WM6.
I DO NOT have a SIM card installed, nor do I plan (at this time) to use on a 3G network, just wish to use as a mini-computer on wifi. i've set the "wireless lan" Power Save Mode to "best performance" and am sitting close to wifi. Other windows and mac laptops have successfully used this router for years.
Asante FriendlyNet 3002 Wireless router (80211.b; WEP capable and on, MAC address controls capable and on)
The HTC has been connected several times to the router with the 40/64 - bit encryption. The little arrows move during connection, then stop and status is reported as "connected". The Wireless Lan "Advanced" tab shows "connected to network", reports the MAC, and the right IP address, and allows me to 'renew' it (and it always renews to the same #).
I do notice under the "configure network adapters" part of the wi-fi control settings that there are no "name servers" filled in, but the router is doing DHCP so maybe this is not a problem??? (checking my mac powerbook, I don't fill them in there either)
If I check (from another computer) the router I can see the HTC advantage shows up in the DHCP list of active clients.
Now: when I go to surf the internet, I get NOTHING with either IE or Opera 8.65.
when I put an address in the browser bar (or click a link on the Opera homepage) I see a status bar report at the bottom of the screen that says: "Images 0/0KB Looking up host..." after sometime this process times out. sometimes then I get a message to the effect of "unable to locate host" or just a time out.
Any suggestions?
ugggh: BTW, I have my "configure network adapters" setting to say that My Network Card Connects to: "the internet", not "work"
AND, under Connections I used the "select networks" button to say both types of programs should connect using "My ISP"
many thanks in advance! ( i have been trying for nearly two weeks a bit here and there, reading, googling, etc. w/o luck...)
May I suggest to enter manually the DNS and alternate DNS. I had the same problem and done that and worked.

I have a HTC Wizard (Cingular version). Last week, I discovered this forum and upgraded my phone from WM5 to WM6.1.... and the exact same thing happened to me! Before the upgrade (on WM5), my phone was surfing the internet thru Wifi just fine... and 30 minutes later, after the upgrade -- it didn't work.
Like you, I searched thru these forums and found various "tricks"... none of them worked for me either.
Luckily, I didn't give up on my phone. A couple days later I got the idea "let's see if I can connect to other networks". I stood out on the back porch and my phone found 3 or 4 other Wifi networks..... I tried to connect to each, with no luck. I came back into the house, and on a whim tried my own home network again --- IT WORKED! Since then, I have been able to connect to various-and-sundry Wifi networks just fine. The problem "just went away" (which some others on the forum have reported... "just keep trying", they say).
I have no conclusive evidence, but my theory is that there are some default (or residual) registry settings for Wifi that need to get "pushed out" or overwritten. By attaching to several different networks, the new/default settings in the registry gets overwritten, and once all the "bad" data is gone -- your phone will be fine.
Hope that helps.... good luck!
TY - but no success yet
MariaM:
I went to my router config page and got the DNS, then I checked the DNS from a laptop (that is successfully connecting) and both report the same:
domain net
nameserver 71.252.0.12
nameserver 71.250.0.12
Note that neither show / report a "WINS".
entering these into the SETTINGS>CONNNECTIONS>WIFI>NETWORK ADAPTERS>NAME SERVERS helped...and I did a soft reset after entering them, and the entry did hold in the setting after the soft reset.
if anyone has any ideas I'd be thrilled. Happy to do a hard reset again and start from scratch if need be. TY.

Note4 fails to optain IP address on wifi at work

Hi guys,
My stock note4 on 5.1.1 doesnt connect to the wifi at work on the 1st floor where my workstation is. It does connect easy on the ground floor.
My laptop and ASUS tablet connects easy on the work wifi.
As a result i have to bring my own MIFI device to connect over my own personal wifi contract with Telkom.
When i try connect on the work wifi it says "obtaining IP address", then says "failed". But i can connect when im on the ground floor.
It did the same even before i upgraded the firmware OTA at home.
What could be the problem?
Happens.....could be your router.
Try this workaround.
Go to wifi > press and hold on your office's wifi , tap on "modify network config" or "connect to this network" whichever option comes up
2) A new window will pop up, there tap on check box "show advanced options"
3) scroll down and under IP SETTINGS change it from DHCP to static
4) In the Ip address field type 192.168.1.X X=ANY NUMBER LIKE 23,45,56 try any random two digit number..... here 192.168.1 < this should match your routers default gateway...which could be 192.168.0.X OR 192.168.1.X .... you may check on other devices which are already connected to the network for their ip.
5) Enter default gateway (findout your routers default gateway which as i said earlier could be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 etc
6) Hit connect.......see if it works..
if not working no harm in trying, you can undo the above steps
NOTE : I AM NO EXPERT ON THIS THIS IS JUST AN IDEA WHICH MIGHT WORK, HOPE IT HELPS.

I have the exact same issue and when i checked under advanced settings it just says 'proxy' and nothing else.
I am confused.
