Having some problems connecting my 8525 to my new Verizon DSL service via WiFi. Has anyone else been able to connect using Verizon? I have the Actiontec GT704WG modem/router.
With my old DSL router, I simply had to type the SSID and WEP key into the 8525 and I was connected.
When I do the same on Verizon, it says "Connected" in my Network Cards app, but whenever I try to use Pocket IE, Skype, etc., it tells me that it "cannot connect with my current connection settings."
Fixed! Went into 802.11 b/g adapter settings and added the IP address of my router to the DNS server list.

Hi
I searched the forums for info, seems that others have had issues trying to connect a VPN session over WiFi. Basically, my wifi (internet) is connected, the 'Connect VPN' option appears in the 'Connectivity' bubble, but tapping 'connect vpn results in the unit trying for a while to connect and then giving up with no error.
Probably yet another XDA bug. My device is the XDA IIs (Blue Angel).
Anyone got a VPN going over wifi?
For the record, it (VPN) works fine over GPRS, although the implementation is shockingly bad. You cant hit boxes on yr lan via IP, it drops the VPN the moment you try. I guess i'll have to set up some hosts file to fool the sack of crap into realising that it needs to head down the VPN to get to said ip.

Check your ip's, they must be in different subnets at each end of the vpn eg (192.168.1.--- >>>><<<<192.168.0.---). If they are both in the the same range then packets won't be routed correctly.
I use vpn over a wifi lan every day, and it works like a dream (on an xda2 with soket wifi card).
Hi
Yeah, they are in different subnets, still refuses to connect. God knows. The wifi implementation on the Blue Angel is bugged to hell so I suspect this is just another bug.

I can get my VPN to connect.
My M2000 is connected to my local lan via wifi (192.168.0.0) and I have set up a VPN to my work lan (172.16.0.0).
The vpn connects and shows as connected in the connection dialog bubble.
However, I can't see/ping anything on my work network.
The PPTP NDISWAN Miniport adapter shows as not connected.
Using xvIpconfig i can see that there are two active adapters.
One is my wifi card...all ok there.
The other is called RAS VPN Line 0.
It seems to have a correct IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for my work network but it says that DHCP is disabled.
Also the adapter address is 00-00-00-00-00-00...that can't be right can it ?

hi guys, have you made any progress with the vpn and the blue angel. I am having the same problem - VPN appears to connect fine and then drops without any errors etc. to make matters worse i deleted all 02 connections so now i can't even see the vpn connection. Help!!!

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...)
ok heres the deal... i have a MDA flashed with the software from att for the 8125 everything works great except when i turn wifi on, i can connect to the network but cant ever get a page to work. does anyone have any suggestions????? please help
Is this happening on any network or your home network?
Check this... go to Settings - Connections - Network Cards. Make sure the WLAN Adapter is set to connect to the internet. Then tap the WLAN Adapter and make sure IP Address is set to Server Assigned then in Name Servers you don't have anything. If any of these is different, change it to the above.
Yeah. I have the same problem. I have wifi pci asus, the signal is good. I have Lan tru router and now bridged connection. I set the ip, mask and gateway which are in the status of the brudge. And the internet explorer and opera wont load pages.?!??! dns isnt set.
The network adapter is sdio wlan.., and the connection is my work network in connection > connections > advanced >select networks.
i use wm6, nbd 8.0
What could be the problem???
it is home network and all other wifi locations
i know there is a problem with secured networks, especially with wpa encryption. try to remove the encryption and see how it goes....
I have removed all encription. I tried preety much everithing and it doesnt work. All other free wifi networks work just fine, i can surf on internet.
what router do you have? i know that i could not connect to a 3com router with the wizard with any rom i tried.
try using a defined ip address and dns, meaning no dhcp. use a real dns addresses and not the default gateway...
I am getting ready to head on vacation and I want to use my 8525 as my "Gateway" as there will be 5 of us with laptops and I want to share my 3G connection so here is what I did. I connect my 8525 to my Laptop via usb, I start internet sharing on the 8525 and in my laptop (vista) under network connections I see Local Area Connection 6, remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device. I right click this connection and select Sharing, and enable internet connection sharing on it. Then what I did was took my router (linksys) and disabled dhcp, but enabled wireless and didnt set any wep or wpa. I connect from my laptop to a port on the router (not the internet port) and then goto another laptop to see if I have internet. I dont, I can see the ssid, I can connect but I do not have internet access. Should I use a crossover cable? What do I have to do so that all of us can have internet thru my phone? Oh, my laptop does have internet (from the usb connection on the phone). I tried to setup the router so that dhcp was enabled, but then I kept getting an ip conflict error, so we cant do that. Also I am not getting an ip on the wireless, it has an ip of like 169.254.177.12.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jim
There a software which you can install on 8525 and turn it into a wifi internet sharing but I don't know if it capable of handing up to 5 laptops. You might be able to use this software and get a router with some custom firmware which allow bridging then set it up to have router access the internet from 8525 wifi and share it among the 5 laptops but I am not sure if you could bridging and do wifi AP on the same router if not then you'll probably need to have 2 router one to bridge from 8525 wifi and then connect cable to another router that will be an AP for the laptops.
That would be my best guess of doing this unless one of the laptop can do AP via wifi when 8525 is plugged into usb slot.

My friend has a Galaxy Player 5.0 and he can connect to other WiFi Networks(It can connect to our school's network, the public optimumwifi network, etc.) but his house's. All the computers in his house can connect to his Home WiFi. His network name shows up on the Wireless Networks list on his Galaxy Player 5.0. He tries to connect to it. He types in the right WiFi password. It says "Connecting", then "Obtaining IP Address" and then right away, it says "Disconnected". Then when he sees it on the Wireless Networks list again, below his network name, it says "Disabled, secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK" His router is a Belkin G Wireless 957B73 and all his computers in his house can connect to it, but his Galaxy Player. I tried to help him via Skype ShareScreen. I thought it was because of some setting on his router. I told him to go to 192.168.2.1(His Default Gateway) for the Belkin options and stuff and I don't know what to do from there. I'll keep checking thread and will try to reply ASAP to your post replies if need be.

If the device's wifi profile suggetsed disabled, then best is to delete the existing profile on player and start again. If it failed again, login the router check on the wireless seeting and local LAN setting to find the history of the player record then delete the entry.
Thanks for the tip.
May be the router has reacherd the maximun number of devices connected simultaniously, or it has another security feature additional to put the password in the device… just a theory.
