Using a T-mobile MDA Wiz200 w/ WPA-PSK, the correct encryption key, the latest ROM update, and 802.11g enabled, I cannot login to a network with WPA-PSK encryption. That WPA-PSK network does not require a certificate or smart card. The network is detected, MDA tries repeatedly to connect, but no IP address is provided. I can login to Open, WEP encrypted access points, and T-Mobile Hotspots with no problems.
With WPA-PSK enabled, if I click Settings, Connections, Network cards, the access points name, and 802.1x, the checkbox for 802.1x network access control can't be unchecked, although a checkbox is displayed. I believe this is the problem because when I use my HP laptop's built in wireless and uncheck the same 802.1x network access control option, I can login to the WPA-PSK encrypted network with no difficulties.
Question: Does anyone have a hack or suggestion for a way to allow the IEEE 802.1x network access control requirement to be unchecked on a T-mobile MDA Wiz200 Windows Mobile 5.0? Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi, just wanted to note that I'm having a similar/the same issue. Router is a Linksys WRT54G running standard firmware, no Open WRT. I've been able to connect my MDA to every other access point I've tried without problems, but I cannot get it to connect to my own G router with WPA-PSK. Same behavior as above post. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i haven't seen wpa in any rom except for orwells1984. even the pdaviet roms dont have it.
WPA/WPA-PSK authentication and TKIP encryption are included in ALL ROMs for the Wizard, no execeptions. Faria managed to add WPA2 & WPA2-PSK authentication as well AES encryption in his AKU 3.3 ROMS which I can verify works perfectly (WPA2 & WPA2-PSK both with AES encryption). The reason 802.1x is greyed out with WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK is it isn't relevent with this authentication type. WPA & WPA2 (Enterprise) requires a back-end RADIUS Server that performs the authentication using 802.1x.
With WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK you are relying on knowing the Pre-Shared-Key (PSK), my guess is you have entered it incorrectly. Re-check the key you entered.

Thanks ADB100. Yes, I'm the network engineer that set up the WPA-PSK network I'm trying to access using a Wizard. What you describe is exactly the way it is supposed to work with an initial Pre-Shared Key (but without any Radius Server, smart card or certificate). All my HP and Toshiba laptop users can access that network without problems using their laptops running Windows XP Pro when in Wirelesss Network Connection Properties the "Authentication" tab for a WPA-PSK wireless network has the check box for "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication unchecked.
Here's what causes my confusion with the Wizard (although this may just be a badly designed GUI in Windows Mobile 5.0). When WPA-PSK with TKIP data encryption is enabled in the Wizard (T-mobile ROM 2.16.10.2.WWE) and I click on the 802.1x tab, a page displays showing a box checked by default which cannot be unchecked to "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" and with "EAP type: Smart Card or Certificate" also displayed but grayed-out in a drop-down box.
I work for a software development company and we would use that display configuration to show settings enabled by default that cannot be changed. To indicate that settings are not in effect we would either (a) not display any settings at all, or (b) have the tab open but have all the text grayed-out with the "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" box unchecked, and with a blank field displayed in the "EAP type" drop-down box.
I appreciate your suggestion about making sure the encryption key is correct because its always useful to start with the basics. I'll also try re-entering the key using both the keyboard and the touch screen on the Wizard just to make sure there are no problems with the type of date entry I'm using. However, the encryption key that I've been entering on all the laptops that I've set-up for users of the wireless network has worked fine.
Do you have any other ideas or suggestions?
Hey folks,
I agree with jonmcad that leaving the box checked when grayed out gives the user the impression that this option is selected and cannot be disabled. But I understand that's not what's really going on. As for my wifi problems, after reading several other threads here, I got things working by changing the channel my router was using from 6 to 1. Works fine now. I don't know if changing the channel would be an option in a corporate environment, that's just what worked for me.
I have the same observation as you on a different device.
My PDA is AIRIS T620.
When WPA-PSK is enabled then the checkbox for 802.1x network access control cannot be unchecked (it is grey on the sheet).
I tried to disable 802.1x by different way. I have downloaded Total Commander for PDA (or for Win CE? I don't remember exactly). With the help of that utility the registry can be searched and edited. I have found \\\registry\HKCU\Comm\EAPOL\Config\Network_name\Enable8021x key with 1 as value. I changed the value to 0. After I started network connection the value was changed back to 1. There is another key too: \\\registry\HKCU\Comm\EAPOL\Config\Network_name\EapTypeId. I tried to delete this key while Enable8021x was set to 0. The result was the same: the WPA-PSK connection was unsuccessful and the original keys and values were restored.
I have no other observations ...

I had the same problem today while trying to connect to my wpa-psk tkip wifi. Then i remembered i had messed around with Advanced Config, setting wpa authentication to enabled. So i reseted it back to disabled and after soft reset i was once again able to connect to my wpa-psk tkip network.
I met the same issue.
1. I use WPA2/PSK - AES or TKIP
2. "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" is checked, and grayed. I can't uncheck it.
3. My phone can connect to the router, but IE won't show a webpage.
4. While my laptop works fine.
Hi guys, does anybody found a solution for this?
Can anyone find the solution for this as i Have HTC Touch Diamond.

What I want to do: I am trying to connect to the internet using pocket internet explorer using my wifi network at home and not GPRS.
The problem: I go to 'Settings' >>"connections" tab >> 'Network Cards'>> "wirelss" tab
It displays my wifi connection and it says "available" so I {tap and hold} and select 'connect'. It then states that it is 'connecting' but it doesnt connect and reverts back to saying that my network is "available'.
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to set up something on my pc? Any additional settings on my Universal that i should initiate?
I tried searching the forum with no luck in finding someone with the same problem. Is there a thread with a guide that can help me out. Thanks for your time.
soft reset the phone
then no need to go into settings
on today screen (main screen) touch the "G" at the top
it will ask you if you want to activate wifi
select
it should connect automatically
I have exactly the same problem with my M5000.

Are your home wireless networks protected (eg WEP or WPA) ? If so - and I would hope so - then are you using the applicable WEP/WPA settings and key when trying to connect ?
Worth also trying to set the IP address manually on the PDA, see if this helps ?
For me, the first thing to do when experiencing wireless probs is to temporarily disable any encryption and see if it works then.....and then re-enable, carefully inputting key etc.

What happened there ! :roll:
On the Blue Angel, it was simple - you just set up a new connection, enter the PSK, connect and off you go!
On the Universal, however, I'm having no joy. I've set up the WEP and PSK stuff and the PDA can connect to the network, but when I try and open IE it opens up GPRS. Also, PC Anywhere only works via USB - again, it won't connect via WiFi. I'm sure it's just a case of adjusting some settings but I don't know which ones!
Wifi Connection Problems
Hi I'm experiencing exactly the same problems trying to connect.
I have a Wanadoo Livebox and my xda exec.
I've tried with my connection both unsecured and with 128bit wep encryption using the correct wep key....I still get connecting, followed by available, repeated continuously?
I have the xda set to connect to "the internet" and the authentication to "open". Key index is 1.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I just checked (with my Blue Angel) that the router and everything else is working and I'm happy to say it all is.
I set up the new connection on the BA from scratch - WPA-PSK enabled, nice long PSK, and I'm using TKIP. Network connects to: The Internet.
This allows me to remote up to the PC via PC Anywhere, and allows me to connect to the 'Net for free via the WiFi router.
When I duplicate the settings on the Universal, neither of the above works. What am I doing wrong?
Help!
You haven't got mac address filtering enabled on your router, and have forgotten to add your Universal's mac address to the list, have you?
Cheers,
Steve.
No, it's disabled.
hehe i had this problem tonight and was going to post up.
Has your router got MAC-control or anything on it? My SSID is not set to broadcast so I put the settings in manually.
I deleted the settings, and put them in manually again a few times, making sure I had the encryption stuff set correctly.
Eventually it connected and now seems to be working fine.

Ad Hoc?
Ok, I've tried every possible combination possible and nothing is helping. So my next question to get around this problem>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Can I use my pc as a ad-hoc and us it as my gateway for my Universal?
I have a pc in the office down the hall with the actually wireless router, I have a pc in my room that is accessing the wireless router from the office.
Please let 'US' know if you have tried ad hoc or if you find the right settings to connect to the main wireless router.
Thank you
I am on my wifi network typing this, and my settings show 802.1x network access control not having a tick and network adapter connected to Work......on my iPaq hx4700 before, I used these same settings as they seemed to work well, although it ran WM2003SE not WM5.....
All this said, however, but I was lucky in that my MDA Pro connected to my wifi network at the first attempt - except not with as strong a signal as the iPaq had.....
Wifi Settings
Can anyone who has connected okay, let us have their full settings, so that we can try them?
Is your Router set 802.11g only?
You need to set the router to accept 802.11b and 802.11g.
If your router will only output at 54g, you could try the hack to switch the universal to 54g. I am yet to try this so I don't know if it works.
My MDA Pro connected straight out of the box once I set the ssid and encryption.
Hope this helps

I've been on the phone talking to 3rd line support at Orange.
Basically, the guy is totally flummoxed!
After trying to talk me through the setup from memory, it seems as though a whole menu of WiFi settings has disappeared from the phone - specifically, the ones that we need! This being the case, he's going to get hold of an M5000 tomorrow and will then bell me back so we can go through the whole process together, both of us using an M5000.
One thought that did occur to me was this: I've only just (like, 3 days ago!) upgraded to the M5000 and I've taken on some kind of free Internet access scheme with my tariff. Could it be that the settings for that (that are sent by Orange in a data SMS) have knackered the WiFi setup?
I'm considering a hard reset with a soft reset before the .CAB files install but will at least wait until tomorrow.
I'll keep you all posted....
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 :

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 !!!

Hi Guys!
I've been reading here as a guest for a while and finally took the leap to buy an iMate Jasjar. So far so good, buuuut...
I am trying to connect it to my home WiFi LAN and having some troubles.
The home WiFi AP is set to up as a gateway and connected to a router (ie AP = 10.0.0.10 and Router = 10.0.0.3). Therefore, a device connecting via a DHCP client which doesn't allow the gateway to be specified isn't very useful.
On the JasJar, I would like to be able to specify the IP, NetMask, Gateway, etc. Is there a way to do this?
Similarly, when I select the 'Configure Network Authentication' window on the JasJar and select Authentication = WPA and Data Encryption = TKIP, it auto-checks the 'The key is automatically provided' - which it isn't! The key needs to be manually entered.
Worse yet, in the next tab "Configure Network Authentication" it forces "Use IEEE 802.1x network access control" for PEAP (not supported on my AP) or "Smart Card or Certificate" (I have no smart card and I have no idea how to issue a certificate).
So sorry to be asking what must seem like gross newb questions, but I'm so keen to use my Jasjar with my wifi.
Is there a chance someone might know the answers?
Kind Regards - Virgil.

Is your AP a brodband router if so check DHCP configurations add the gataway to your DHCP config.
Explain what device you have probably some one may help you.
Kind regards
Howlingwolf
Thanks for the reply.
The devices in question are:
* JasJar (PPC/PDA, etc)
* Linksys WRT54GC (AP)
There does not appear to be provision for a general routing entry (ie all connections route from 10.0.0.10 (the AP/Gateway) to the router (10.0.0.3)). Unless I'm really missing something.
Cheers - Virgil.
EDIT: Entered bad IPs.
Hi
I'm using a T-Mobile MDA Vario III. I would like to be able to connect to my home network via the wifi/wlan (what's the difference).
On my router I use WPA/WPA2 with PSK authentication - not 802.1x.
I ave never been able to configure the VIII to connect, it always wants use this 802.1x thing and it's greyed out.
Is there some way of getting rid of it? If I use open network it connects ok.
Please help I am heading for a breakdown!
thanks
Mike
I think you are missing how these things work.....
WPA is either PSK or Enterprise - PSK you enter a key (Pre-Shared-Key), Enterprise the key is dynamically assigned. This is the same for WPA2. The reason it is greyed out when you select WPA or WPA2 is it isn't an option, with WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK a manual key is mandatory.
If you use WPA or WPA2 (Enterprise) then you MUST have a centralised Authentication mechanism in place (RADIUS).
Does this help?
Andy
Ummm... not really, sorry.
I've attached a couple of screen shots if that helps.
On my router (it's a Belkin) the ieee 802.1x is off when I select wpa2 and psk (i don't have anything for tkip, and have no idea about what the other settings mean when it's not psk).
It seems incredibly complicated this wifi caper. I've never manged to get to connect to any other network except mine with no security.

No, the reason the options on the 802.1x page are not available is because they don't apply when using Pre-Shared-Keys.
TKIP & AES are the encryption methods used, WPA/WPA2 is the authentication method, they are independant of each other but reliant on each other as part of the standard. i.e. if you want to use WPA-PSK authentication then you have to use TKIP or AES encryption.
I am still confused over your question? I have a HTC Kaiser and it is configured to access multiple networks - one uses WPA2-Enterprise/AES, a couple use WPA-PSK/TKIP, another one uses WPA2-PSK/AES and a few are just Open with no encryption. They all work though.....
Andy
OK, let's approach it a different way round then. How do I configure my VIII to connect to my router, using a secure method?
Thanks

On your Wireless router or Access Point you enable WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK for your WiFi network (SSID) and enter a Pre-Shared-Key, depending on the device you may or may not get options for the Encryption type, if you do it will either be TKIP or AES. My access point allows me to use either, however older equipment may only support TKIP, even older equipment may only support WPA-PSK as well and not WPA2-PSK.
Lets pretend you use the WiFi SSID 'MY-WIRELESS' and use WPA-PSK Authentication with TKIP Encryption and a PSK of 'My-H0m3-W1F1'. Lets also assume you aren't making this a hidden network (Broadcast SSID).
On you VIII device you then enable the WiFi (or Wireless its the same thing) when you see the 'MY-WIRELESS' SSID you select it which should open the 1st page of the configuration. Select 'Connects to: The Internet' and click next, then select 'Authentication: WPA-PSK' and 'Data Encryption: TKIP' and enter ''My-H0m3-W1F1' in the 'Network key:' box. Click next, ignore the next page and click finish. That's it.
Andy
That's it! Just like that. I don't believe it.
Thanks muchly!
The Belkin router uses wpa or wpa2 and aes( according to belkin site). Authentication is via 802.1x or PSK, not both.
I did have the VIII set for tkip originally, and wpa2-psk. Set at WPA-psk aes and it went straight on.
Thanks so much Andy. Ur a diamond.
Hello everyone
Last school year, when I still had the original WM5 ROM on my Uni, I could connect to my school's wifi network that requires:
- WPA-Enterprise (Not WPA2!)
- AES encryption (AES on WPA - not 2 - looks a bit strange, but it«s the way it is setup on Windows 7 that can connect)
- PEAP for the EAP
- The routers are Cisco gear so I suppose they use Cisco LEAP
- No certificate (do not validate server cert)
On WM5, I could connect: I could select WPA on the first dropdown of the network settings, then on the box below that one I selected AES. Next step, I selected PEAP for the EAP type, and Finished. then I added a registry key somewhere so it wouldn't try to validate the server certificate. It asked for my credentials when I tried to connect to the network, and it connected fine and worked well.
Now I use a WM6 ROM, Tomal 8.9. I can select WPA but there is no AES option, only TKIP. I already added the registry key for it not to validate the server certificate, but it isn't even trying to validate the cert - doesn't get to that step, the furthest I could go was having it asking my network credentials in an infinite loop.
Should I try another ROM? (oh, and BTW, I'm sure that the network doesn't use WPA2, but WPA with AES encryption)
Any help is greatly appreciated. Even because I don't have a 3G data plan and the wifi at school was very useful.
Regards
Nevermind. After inputing my network credentials enough times, I could connect using TKIP. But somehow Windows computers are still configured for WPA AES instead of TKIP, which is strange. Anyways, it works now, and that's what matters.
