Wifi Help.....Please

Hi, Can anyone help me with the settings I need to connect my Wanadoo Livebox with my O2 XDA Exec using wifi??
I already connect with my laptop and my wife's ipaq but can't with the exec.
I have 128 bit wep enabled and have put the key successfully into the exec but all that happens is: "connecting" followed by "available"?
I can see the network fine and when I check the livebox config.....the mac address of the exec is there along with the other two devices, so it's mac associated.
At the moment I'm using:
Network Cards Tab:
Wireless Tab:
Shows my livebox with the alternating connecting/available message.
Clicking on the shown network (my livebox) brings up the settings:
General Tab:
Network name: shows the correct SSID for my livebox
Connects to: The Internet.
Network Key Tab:
Authentication: WPA-PSK (Although I've also tried this on "open").
Data Encryption: TKIP.
"The key is automatically provided" box is ghosted.
Network key: Correct wep key, tried in upper and lower case.
Key Index: Is ghosted but shows "1".
802.1x Tab:
All ghosted......
But shows a ticked box for "use IEEE 802.1x network access control".
EAP type: Smart Card or Certificate.
Back to previous menu:
Networks to access: All Available.
Network Adapters Tab:
My network card connects to: The Internet.
As for the list of adapters......I have changed nothing as I know nothing!!
The list is a mystery to me.....I thought there would be just one.....??
Wireless LAN Tab:
Main Tab:
Status: Scanning network...
SSID: Blank.
TX Rate: Auto.
Mode: Infrastructure.
Channel: Blank.
BSSID: Blank.
MAC: Contains the associated MAC addy.
IP: Blank.
Signal Quality: Blank.
Settings Tab: Untouched.
LEAP Tab:
SSID: Shows my livebox, correctly named.
Authentication Type: Open System
Here, I have input my wanadoo user name and password.
Authentication Type: Open System. ( I have tried this with "EAP" selected but it has made no difference).
I have tried changing most of these settings with no luck...... I 've also tried removing the network (livebox) and letting it find it again with the default settings..... All I get is the same alternating messages prev mentioned??
Sorry this is so long....but thought I'd better put as much info in as possible
Can anyone help me?
Many Thanks in advance

It looks like you're using 128bit WEP Encryption, and trying to connect using WPA-PSK Encryption ?
I'm no expert on setting up Wireless connections, but you'll want to recheck your settings and ensure you're using the same Encryption security on both your Wanadoo Livebox and the Exec.
"The key is automatically provided" box is ghosted.
Network key: Correct wep key, tried in upper and lower case.
Key Index: Is ghosted but shows "1".

Working from memory, you will need to set your Exec to WEP, which will unghost(?) the "The key is automatically provided". Uncheck the box and then type in your WEP key. Also ensure the Key Index is set to the same as your Wanadoo Live box.
At the moment, when it says "available", it basically means you have attached to the Wireless AP, but not authenticated (again, your trying to use different security types), so no IP is handed out to your Exec, thus no access..
Last time I tried setting up my Exec wirelessly I ended up hard resetting it, as I could no longer surf via the USB cable. YMMV of course..
cheers

Do you have DHCP enabled? Are your IP addresses static or dynamic?
Maybe they connect to eachother but if the IP addresses belong to different sub-nets, they will not allow any transfering.

I vaguely remember other people having problems with their Livebox and not being able to resolve them.
Might be worth searching the forums for 'livebox' to see what crops up. IIRC the problems were never solved. Wanadoo weren't interested in helping either.

Hi and Thanks.
I haven't got dhcp enabled so I believe the ip is dynamic?
I've changed my settings to "open" instead of "WPA-TPIK" and reinput my wep key.... but still with no luck
Aaah That's interesting.... and sounds about right for Wanadoo!!
I'm off to search now.
Thanks Again

Did you check the IP address that the Universal is using? Maybe you have to assign one within the subnet mask in the settings of the Wifi configuration of the universal. Normally, they asign in the 169.x.x.x grouping and the routers are normally 192.x.x.x so they will connect but will not send data to eachother.

Wep Keys
It's worth noting that you can usually input the key in hex or Ascii - I believe the key in the XDA will be in hex so make sure that the key in the AP is also in hex (I know that mine works when I use hex on both sides).
Dave

Hi Jorge, Only problem is which adapter settings to change from the list....I changed the settings for the first one in the list and input the correct primary and secondary DNS then input the correct ip addy and netmask and gateway......but still no joy
Do you know which adapter?
Thanks
Tim
Hi Dave, I used the keyboard to put the wep key in, as I did with the ipaq (no problem). How do I input it in using hexadecimal on the exec??
Much Appreciated....... anythings worth a try
Thanks
Tim

I believe the adapter is the tiacxwin CompatibleWireless Ethernet. It might be easier to just enable DHCP on your router, maybe? Don't you think?

I have the similar problem with a LinkSys router before which generates a HEX pass key based on the ASCII phrase you provide, which did confuse me a bit. It is the HEX key you need to set.

No Internet when connected by USB & ActivSync

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help solve a problem I have with my UK V1605.
This is a great phone and I am really impressed with it. PIE works great over WiFi, GPRS & 3G. HOWEVER, when I connect the phone to my PC with the USB cable, I am no longer able to access the internet with PIE. I just get an error message, "The page cannot be displayed because the connection was lost. Please try again."
I have tried playing around with the all the settings but still keep getting the error. I can see the wifi symbol at the top keep changing to the USB/Activesync symbol. When I look under the wireless LAN settings I can see the IP address and 'connected to network' but still get the error message in PIE.
This is my first post, and I have looked all over for a solution but not been able to find anything. I will appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Are you connecting at home or in work, the reason I ask is that you might have to setup a proxy on the device (this is not the PC running ActiveSync).
In work I have to add my works proxy under START > SETTINGS > CONNECTIONS > Connections > 'My Work Settings' and look at the proxy.
Also it might be firewall issues, more info here: http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/tshoot-as4x-firewall.htm
Try these and post your results.
Gav.

1. Is your AS connection a Guest connection, or a full one?
2. try changing your USB connection type; see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=555&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

I had the same problem, then I flashed the rom and I could get internet again, installed some apps and couldnt get internet via USB-activesync.
I fixed it by doing the following in activesync on the PC (not on the PDA):
FILE>CONNECTION SETTINGS>
where it says THIS COMPUTER IS CONNECTED TO:
select THE INTERNET, then OK and I was once again able to connect to internet via USB/Activesync.

Internet surfing worked via ActiveSync USB...now it doesn't
I am running Windows Mobile 5 on an HTC 8525. I have ActiveSync 4.5 installed. For the first three weeks I was able to sync to my device and also surf the net from my device using the desktop pass-through feature. My friend took the device away on a trip for a day and when he brought it back I noticed that the pass-through feature no longer worked. I don't know if he tried to connect to another network and the settings got hosed or if ATT pushed some patch to the phone. Either way, I can still sync and browse files, I just can't get on to the internet. Furthermore, checking the 'allow wireless connections' box in AS->File->Connections Settings seems to do nothing since my wlan is immediately disabled every time I plug the device in to the usb cable. I have tried the following to no avail:
1. Used a different HTC 8525 with the same result
2. Installed ActiveSync on a different machine, no luck
3. Tried the registry edit [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services] "AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
4. Tried using ActiveSync 4.1
5. Played around with the connection settings and network adapter settings on the phone to the point that I have no idea what they were anymore
6. Reset the phone to its defaults, no dice
To test the connection I open IE and try to browse to www.msn.com. The status in the bottom left of the IE window says "Connecting..." then "Locating..." then I wait for a while and I get a pop-up that says "The page cannot be displayed because the connection was lost. Please try again"
My ActiveSync connection settings have usb enabled and 'This computer is connected to The Internet'.
Another strange thing, when I try to open AS->File->Connection Settings it takes about a minute for the Connection Settings dialog to open. What could make it hang?
I really am out of ideas on how to get this thing working again. I am developing an application on the phone that requires internet and bluetooth connetivity. I was remote debugging using VS 2005 and everything was working like a champ. By the way, I am still able to remote debug, so that tcp connection with the device still works...I just can't get out to the internet. My Windows Firewall has ActiveSync in its exception list.
Thanks for your help!

Try disabling the Firewall and test it.

Thanks for your reply tytnguy.
I have tried changing it to Automatic (and Work as well) without success. I have also disabled the firewall.
A little more info:
In Settings->Connections->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks I have 'Media Net' chosen for programs to automatically connect to the internet. The proxy settings for Media Net are 'This network connects to the Internet'. I have tried toggling this though it is possible that other settings did not match up with this when I changed it.
In Settings->Connections->Wifi->Configure Network Adapters I have My Network Card Connects to 'The Internet'.
This sure seems like a networking problem to me. I have installed vxUtils to look at the status of my device. Here is the 'info' output:

Looks like you have already tried everything
You used differnt pcs, different devices
And a hard rest(??)
Logically Since you had problems in every combination, I think you have to think about something which common and present in all combinations. I can say 'It is the way you setup your internet connection'. I do not know what is 'Media Net' but if you had that setting in all your combinations tried. Then that is where you should look for.
I do not know if that is helpfull or not but my two cents!

Default Gateway

I am able to connect via Wifi and getting IP address but the default gateway is sometime set and sometime not. When it is not set i can not surf the internet. Is there a way to set the default gateway in HEMRES ?

Someone , please help
All I need to know is how to set the deafult gateway to 192.168.0.1 same as DHCP Server.

DHCP should give it all the settings
might be worth looking to why your DHCP server isnt giving out the correct settings, but any way
Settings > Connections > Network cards > Network Adapters
you will have a list of the Adapters
at a guess it would be the IEE 802.11b/g Compatable wifi
tap on that
and it should give you some options tick Use Specific IP Address, put in the details
please note this will set the details for all wireless connections, so if only use wireless at home, then it will be no problem, but say you use it at home, at work and out and about at Hotspots, you may need to go in and change it back to using DHCP for it to work

DHCP server settings

can you give some hints how to do that ?
I did what you said , in VxIPConfig it said DHCP Disabled, and got the deafult gateway as 192.168.0.1 . I couldn't surf the internet.
Please that from time to time I am able to surf the internet when everything is set to auto. When it happens I get the deafult gateway set (and not blank) and the DHCP is enbale

did you give it an ip addresss and subnet mask ?
eg for ip
192.168.0.10
subnet
255.255.255.0
is your DHCP server on a router or is it like a PC with WiFi running Internet connection sharing

I did what you say , this is what VxIPConfig said:
adapter address : 00-09-2d-b4-91-43
IP address : 169.254.210.158 (which is what i set)
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Deafult gateway : 192.168.0.1 (which is what i set)
DHCP server : 192.168.0.1
Primary WINS : empty
Secondary WINS : empty
Lease obtained : DHCP Disabled
Lease expaired : DHCP Disabled
still can not surf the internet , what is wrong.

where did you get 169.254.210.158 from?
try 192.168.0.100
as i dont think you will have anything on that ip
with a 192.168.0.1 gateway and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
your ip needs to be within 192.168.0.* range ( * = 1 to 255)

yeah a class c ip range is what one should use in ones internal lan
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

Have you input in some dns servers, should be on the next tab
these dns servers will do
dns 1: 4.2.2.1
dns 2: 4.2.2.2
how did you setup internet connection sharing on you pc ?
via network setup wizard ?
Network connections > Pick your internet connection > right click then properties > then click on the Advanced tab > then make sure the Allow other computers on the network to use this connection, tick box is checked

I added the DNS adresses settings in the PPC , still can not surf the internet.

In a failed connection I always see the beacon with the two circles icon that never change.
Still no surfing is available. Any more ideas ?

SOLVED !!!
Thanks for the helpers. My problem is now solved. I've just read in D-Link site regarding configuring Static IP in here
After performing the recommended settings, everything is working always.
THIS THREAD CAN BE CLOSED

Glad its working
so did you need to setup a static ip for your pc, or did you use the guide and put the details in to your ppc ?

The static IP was set in the PC according to D-Link instructions . Hope this tread helped someone .

Cisco VPN Config HOWTO

I have posted this at DARKYROM, i thought it might be useful here too.
Heres a quick "how to" get Cisco IOS VPN working with DARKYROM native vpn client
because of the limitations in android we cannot use group authentication, it does not work.however this how to will show how you to create an L2TP/IPSec tunnel from your Cisco @ work or home to your droid (Preferably darky rom) native client. I.E. settings > wireless & networking> vpn
there is only one prerequisite and that is that you have advandced ip services ios ( required for ipsec)
heres the cisco config additions, please change the stuff in the <CHANGE ME>.

aaa authentication login default local
aaa authentication ppp default local

ppp authentication ms-chap-v2
!
!
ip local pool poolipnetconfig 172.16.0.9 (change this to whatever range your lan is as this is the address that will be assigned to your droid)
!
end
DO NOT Just copy and paste this onto your router. you must edit it first and remove the comments and the brackets.
Please change the ip, username, passwords and keys to make this work.
then basically on your droid goto the vpn settings and create a L2TP/IPSec vpn. input a name a shared key and the ip address or dns name of your router (internet address).
save the config and try to connect, this will ask for the aaa username and password. enter this and then it should connect. wayhey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any chance SSL VPN can work?
