Hi!
Before I start tese are my current system info:
XDA2ii (O2) - UK
ROM version 1.10.00 WWE
ROM date:24/12/2004
Radio ver: 1.00.00
Protocol version: 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.10.124 WWE
OS: Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edition
Version 4.21.1088 (build 14235.2.0.0)
I am trying to connect to my home WIFI network but I can't seem to connect. It is indeed picking up the server (name appears) in list but just stops at connection to network. It can't seem to get any connection at all. My wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) can't seem to detect it as well.
I have tried connection to WIFI at an airport and it seems to work but not at home. I have set my Linksys to Mixed mode (B and G) but still can't get it to work.
Any advice?
Thank you!!!
XDA IIi (or 2i) and 3COM WAP
Hi.
Got the exact same (everything) XDA IIi model (also O2/UK). I'm also having problems with WLAN/WIFI connectivity both at work and home. Both cases it's a 3COM OfficeConnect WAP (office one not setup by me). I thought I validated that the XDA seems to be OK by being able to connect to a neighbours WAP (some BT-Voyager thing) with no apparent problems. And so was thinking that the problem is with the 3COM WAP. However, your post raises doubts on my conclusion ...
The search goes on ...
Re: XDA IIi (or 2i) and 3COM WAP
hi
My case is even worse, it can not detect any wifi signal at any of the hotspot in my city. Go to wireless Lan Manager, under WLAN button (red status) there is alwayls a sentence: "no connection in use". Clicking to it, the device seem to search but found nothing.
Try softreset, hardreset but the problem remains.
In addition, I try to turn off the phone (turn on flight mode) then it don't allow to turn on bluetooth and wifi too.
Maybe it is due to hardware error.
Really disappoint with O2 UK

WiFi connection problems with XDA2i
I have exactly the same O2 xda2i build as Johnnyboy, and precisely the same problem with WiFi as Blackwolf and Johnnyboy. I have a netgear WiFi access point at home, and have disabled the attach restriction and removed WEP. However, although the XDA can see the network name, it cannot connect to the network (just displays connecting...) nor does it show anything on the signal bar. Needless to say, it does not display SSID, Tx rate, Channel, IP address or any information from the network.
I have bought this device specifically for wifi access, and it is somewhat disappointing. Anyone have any idea how this can be fixed? (if at all :? )
XDA Wi-Fi Successful Connection!!!
Hi,
I'm new to the forum and new to XDA2i....
I too had many frustrations connecting the wi-fi...but now I've cracked it, here's how.......
On first very first use (or following a hard re-set) device users are prompted to choose “What do you want WLAN to connect to?” The option bullets are ‘Internet’ or ‘Work’….’Work’ should be selected, this will connect them to the nearest WLAN (if this network is WEP encrypted it should be switched to ‘Open’ rather than ‘shared’ as is often the case).
Next prompt asks for any WEP Encryption ‘Pass Key’ to be input, when doing so omit any ‘-‘ between character pairs. Normal start-up should then be completed. Once device is up and running…..
From ‘Start’ pull-down on the ‘Today Screen’ select…. ‘settings’>’connections tab’>’connections icon’>’advanced tab’>’Select Networks’> pull-down ‘My Work Network’ > ‘OK’ out of selections to save and exit.
Go to ‘Wireless Manager’ in programs, select WLAN icon from main screen (which should turn green to show active), then select mini ‘WLAN’ icon from lower toolbar to see the status of the connection, quality of signal etc.
That did it for me......
Cheers
Finally cracked it! As I never had any problems with my Netgear MR814 wireless router, I assumed the issue was with the XDA2i. Instead, a router firmware upgrade did the trick! Should have thought of that earlier.
Cheers, S.
When i first got my XDA 2i home from the shop the first thing it tried was the wireless lan, and the same thing happend to me also..... everything fine in the router but still unable to connect the xda.
anyway after few hours of going over every single setting time and time again , it finally worked !!
i left the Wlan enabled and after a period of a few minutes it connected to my network.
So i think the XDA 2i is quite tempremental with Wlan, as i know my settings were correct.
having said that, i have had no problems with Wlan t all since then, it will now even connect to other Wlan hotspots with no problems whatsoever.
The only problem i have now is recieving a decent O2 Cellphone signal i my area
Well I have a XDA IIi and it connects fine and allways has to Citi Hotspots, TMO hotspots and my own Linksys WRT54GS. Netgear is the biggest piece of crap ever sold. If you have one I suggest you soak it in gas and burn it.
I had a problem with my XDA IIi connecting to a home Wi-Fi network with a Linksys WRT54GC router: a signal showed in the Wireless LAN Manager, including an IP address, but the WI-Fi icon at the top of the Today screen had no connection bars. After days of this I went to the Linksys settings for an unrelated reason and disabled Wireless SSID Broadcast. Inexplicably this appeared to cure the WiFi problem with the XDA IIi, and I can now connect with ease.
Ok, I might as well add my question to this thread, as it's relevant.
I have an O2 UK XDA2i, and I've also experienced similar problems connecting the wifi and managing to get it to work properly.
I'm at Uni in Birmingham, and at some of my faculties there's wifi for students and staff to use - they give the broadcast SSID UCEOpenAccess, and you use your system logon (in my case STUDENTS\F05310011 and my password (secret ).
I have these details set in the LEAP tab of my wireless lan config (in the WLAN settings) - I have an entry named UCEOpenAccess, and I have my username and password (and domain) set correctly, and the auth type set to Open System (as opposed to EAP, doesn't seem to make any difference whatever I set it to)...
... I just can't connect to any wifi network! I can't even _SEE_ the wifi network, and I know it's there, I can pick up other wifi networks and detect them using Wifi Graph and Hitchiker. I just, bizarrely, can't see the one wifi network I'm trying to connect to.
It's incredibly frustrating. I have my network adapter set to connect to Work (as I've seen advised on these forums), and my IP is assigned via DHCP (they use a weird class b subnet for their network), and the proxy to connect to the Internet is also setup correctly in my Network (This network connects to the Internet checked, This network uses a proxy to connect to the Internet, and proxy is specified in the box), and as the proxy is a SOCKS 5 authenticating proxy, all the relevant details and username+password are in place in the Advanced settings.
Still doesn't work!
Is it due to my original (and decrepit, from the looks of things) firmware and software versions? I'm running original radio, is that a problem maybe? I've scouted about quickly for updates from O2 for my XDA, but I don't want to install a Japanese update as I don't reallllly want to have to read Japanese (and I can't, etc) - I don't want to make a brick out of this brand new phone, but the resources for total xda newbs is somewhat lacking. Can someone just poke me in the right direction with a stick?
Cheers all.
Hi,
I tried to connect my XDA to my works wireless network. I needed to get my MAC address added to the DHCP server so my IP address is assigned automatically in my department.
So, when I turn on my Wi-fi it finds the network and I select 'connects to Internet'. The connection now appears as 'available'. Next I tell it to connect and it displays 'connecting.....' then simply returns back to displaying 'available' again. No connection, no error message.
Does anyone have any idea what I may have done wrong? Surely if using DHCP I dont have to configure DNS etc?
Any advice would be great.
I had the same problem with my home wifi.
My wifi router was transmitting on wifi G only.
And when i changed it to B+G wifi transmission,and then it worked.
I then realised that the Exec has in fact a wifi B only...(i thought it had a G since windows mobile 5 is supporting G... but no...)
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.
the WIFI state is connected. but when I try to open a webpage, eg,www.google.com, it shows error: the page cannot be found. Check the name and try again. anyone knows that? how can I fix it?
Thanks.
HELP ME
Someone can help me?!
Where are you using the wifi? Is it your home network or work/hotspot?
Go to settings then the connections tab then tap the "wireless lan" icon. Tell us what you see on that screen, then click the advanced tab and tell us what is there too. Finally click "menu" then "network cards" and tell us what is there (should be a list of available networks).
The only problem I have with my wireless is that i need to have a very strong signal to be able to receive my IP address via DHCP. Once it has it then it's OK and i can wander about but I get no address when the signal is weak ( less than 50%).
Cheers

Check that you have set the connection type to "internet" - I suspect this problem occurs because you have it set to "work".
Chris
I am having the same problem , my signal is nearly 100%, the phone is set to internet, Belkin 54g,, authentication is 'open', WEP, the key was entered manually (26 digits ), do i use 802.1 access ?
mode is infrastructure, tx rate is auto, channel 11,, the mac and ip address is correct,, what is enroll ?
I have tried everything and it is obviously connected so why will it not load pages ?
Had the same problem myself with my XDA IIs. Only solution I could find was to turn disable the firewall on my router. No idea why that worked, and cant find a way to turn the firewall on without causing the problem again, but it did work!
got smilar problem here, some times even when i connected and browsed web say 2 mins. ago suddenly connection can not be established i have tried it with belkin 54g linksys and 3com routers all same couldnt find any solution and accepted it as it is

hello All and Gadget
Bought the XDA mini S from 02 yesterday and havent really been playing with it except installing programs, removing the 02 files and finding my way round the phone.
Anyway, having problem with getting WIFI, can anyone help?
At home, I use Wanadoo broadbrand wireless 'livebox' and here are the following details on the Mini S:
Wireless Lan> main tab> SSID - blank, mode - infrastruture, BSSID -blank, Tx rate - auto, channel - 0
Advanced tab > status, not connected to network, MAC - 00-09-2D-8D-66-BF, IP - 0.0.0.0
network cards tab> wireless tab - wanadoo - 2D9E available
network adaptors> network card connects to 'The internet'
Thanks in advance
Andy
Might be a stupid question but.....
Have you got any security on your wireless router? if so have you permitted the MAC code of your device to connect and obtain an IP address from your router?
Anthony.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Another stupid question is how do I find out if I have security on my wireless router and if i have security, how can i permit the mac code to do its stuff.
Thanks again.
Andy
Check out:
http://help.wanadoo.co.uk/resultDis...Configuration+Manager&resultType=5002#Goto155
Have you set up a WEP security key to prevent unauthorised access to your ADSL Connection? if not then you should; I think the 'LiveBox' has a default key which you have to enter to connect and obtain an IP address.
Not being familiar with this router, I cannot tell you exactly but I would expect you to have to permit a new MAC code under the 'associated devices' menu.
Sorry for being Vague.
Hope this helps. :roll:

First of all, thanks for the link. I am able to see all the details (technical) of my livebox on the wanadoo configuration page.
There is a WEP key set and having tried to enter as much info on the relevant places on the mini s, no luck.
The mini s does recognise the 'livebox' and connects to it then drops off. However, it doesnt pick up any info from the 'box' to complete the relevant wireless tabs on the mini s.
Dont know how I'm going to resolve this but thanks for your help so far.
Shame not to utilise the Mini S with my current wireless broadband connnection.
Cheers
Andy
Hi All
Thanks for the advice so far and after so many attempts I am still unable to configure the mini s to use the wireless connection at home.
Need a huge favour. Would anyone give up a few minutes of their time to go through the configuration on the phone with me.
Please PM me your contact number and when it is convienent for me to call you back.
Much appreciated.
Andy
Hi Andy,
the settings depend to some extent on whether you have an access point (router) or shared connection.
You need to know the network name SSID, (and whether it's hidden)
WEP, WPA/PSK key,
Whether (as previously stated) you have MAC address control enabled in your router
Whether you have DHCP enabled (for automatic IP address from router)
Whether you need to log on (enroll) to password protected shares.
In the mini-S wifi>Menu>Network Cards>Network Adapters tab you should set your network card to connect to The Internet and check that the adapter (SDIO WLAN etc.) is set to use auto IP (if you have DHCP) or pick your own IP address if you have a fixed range.
If you have Zone Alarm or another firewall (I surely hope so :wink make sure that the (mini-S) IP address is in the trusted zone
Lastly; if you seem to be connected but you can't get any web pages - just a page not found error, try killing bloody ActiveSync on the mini-S, sometimes when I'm browsing I suddenly can't access pages and that's what the problem turns out to be - when you stop active sync running in the background it all starts to work again.
This is assuming you have a router not a shared connection which may be slightly different.
Oh....and read the threads about 802.11b and g, if your router only allows 11g the mini-S doesn't connect (I'd find the threads and point you to them but I gotta get back to work soz)
HTH (feel free to contradict or put me straight guys

I had the same problem with my Linksys WRT54G before. I upgraded the firmware (dowloaded from Linksys website) of my WRT54G and the problem solved.
New to the board (Just got my Cingular 8125) Having the same problem.
I get an IP addressfrom my router, it shows I am connected on my network settings, but still can't pull up any pages. It has never worked since I got it (only 3 days though) Someone please help us.
If >Connection Manager>Settings>WiFi Settings shows you have an IP address and are connected (Advanced :Status) then check your firewall settings and try stopping ActiveSync, always seems to do the trick for me
Also check out this post, could this be your problem?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41469
@ cozzykim
I have shut down my zone alarm and don't have firewall enabled on my linksys WRV54G. ActivesSync is also closed. Still no luck
I will try to update my ROM it is not far fetched that cingular Jerry rigged the WiFi. I hope ther is a class action suit coming soon.
Thanks for your help.[/quote]
I originally posted this message a few days ago but as there were no responses I thought I'd try again. I'd appreciate any advice - thanks for looking ...
I have a XDA mini S. At home I have a wireless router/hub that is hard connected to my PC, but I connect to internet from my laptop via wifi (direct to router/hub) using an always on broadband connection.
I use WPA security, but when I tried to set up the XDA to connect wifi it didn't seem to have the ability to enter the WPA settings.
Ideally I'd like to use the XDA to network with the PC and the laptop for file transfers, but if I can't do that, at least I'd want to enable the XDA to access the inernet via the router/hub directly (ie without the other devices being turned on).
Can anyone help with this please - I know from other postings on this site that I'm not the only sufferer, but I haven't see a definitive solution.
Thanks
Charles
Make sure wireless is ENABLED.
Then
START->SETTINGS->CONNECTIONS->NETWORK CARDS
Click the "Wireless" Tab
Add a new connection
General Tab
Network Name: "MyNetwork" (or whatever you want)
Connects to: "The Internet" ("Work" also works for me)
Network Key Tab
Authentification: WPA-PSK
Network Key: "makeUpAKeyHere_thats-long&complex" (I use plenty of ££%!* type characters in mine)
802.1x Tab
Uncheck Use IEEE 802.1x network access control
All done!
Now make sure you have EXACTLY the same Network Key in your router and you should be good to go.
Now to connect to your PC & Laptops you use Resco Explorer 2005 (you'll need to buy it but worth every penny!) to MAP shares from your network.
How to is in This Thread
Worked for me, and I've only had my Mini S (my first PDA ever) a week!
Good luck!
Mark.
I just got my MDA Vario (same as XDA Mini S right?) today and the manual has absolutely nothing about connecting over wi-fi to *anything* let alone my home wi-fi router but I was pleased to find this thread , for a while
START->SETTINGS->CONNECTIONS->NETWORK CARDS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
doesn't have a "wireless" tab (or any tabs for that matter) but it does offer me a list of adapters to let me modify settings (no option to add one though).
The nearest thing to wi-fi is "SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter" but I'm pretty sure that would relate to something plugged in to the SDIO slot, and not the built in Wi-Fi hardware. Am I wrong?
I've fumbled around a bit and found one screen which offers a view where I might be able to enter the details you've given here, but the textboxes are all locked/readonly (empty) and I can't write anything in them.
I'm really disappointed so far.
the sdio card is the correct one, the wizard has an sdio wifi card inside I believe.
if you select network card under settings-connections you should be able to add a new connection there, if in doubt search for wifi connection, or post back here for more help, good luck

I got a PM about this thread, I thought I'd reply here to as the info could help others....In additon othres may be able to elaborate more on the 802.1 query
Mark,
I had the same problem regarding my mini s which you recently answered. I have a US robotics wireless router (9108) and connect it to my laptop (Thinkpad X31) using WPA-PSK and TKIP - the laptop does not allow me to check 802.1 which I understand is for large companies with a special server.
With my miniS I have found that as soon as I enter authentication WPA-PSK and encyption TKIP, the system automatically ticks 802.1 and I cannot access the page to turn it off.
I have tried communicating with O2 via email but they haven't really helped. What I want to know is whether on your machine with WPA-PSK and TKIP you can turn off 802.1 in which case mine has a fault and I can swap it - otherwise I have to find another smart phone!

hello
i recently purchased the xda mini s and a wifi usb adaptor. i am having trouble accessing the internet. my computer connects to the internet using ethernet to my wall (im not sure where it goes from there). i can connect my phone to a peer to peer wifi network but it does not let use the internet, could anyone help me with the settings please i would greatly appreciate it.
many thanks
harvey
To achieve that you need to set your primary connection as shared in network connections. Once you do that, adhoc mode should be possible without issue.
Please help - similar problem
Hi - I have an XDA Mini S and have connected without issue to the Internet via my router (Wirelessly of course).
The issue I have is that I cannot connect to any network shares on my PC. When I had a CF wireless card in my Ipaq I could do without issue. I have downloaded a ping proggy to XDA and can ping router but cannot ping the PC I have the shares on.
Normally (If I was using a laptop) I would check Workgroup/Domain settings, authentication credentials etc...nothing like this on XDA.
Please help
Wiggz
Quick - fix
I have spent hours messing around with this - however I have had a similar problem with a corporate laptop which wouldn't work.
I changed the router from WPA to WEP and bang - worked straight away. Exactly the same on my XDA Exec so should be same for Mini S (pocket PC 2005).
Hope this helps.

Hi all, new here, thanks for the info posted, was useful but i'm still having problems with the wifi on my xda mini s to my netgear dg834gt router with sky broadband.
The problem seems to be that my xda finally connected to my broadband and router, but now when I try to use internet explorer on my xda I just get
"400 Bad Request"
"Bad filename."
Can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance
