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.

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.

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.
I cannot find my MAC address to add the Jasjar to my MAC adddress filtering on my home netwaork. Any ideas?
Settings > Connections > Wireless LAN
It's listed on there, n.b. you need to have WLAN switched on, else nothing appears.
Or take out your battery and check under it.
I am trying to hook up my i-mate with my home wireless connection...
but I couldn't find out the Mac Address of my i-mate
Any idea ??
thanks
You cant really without being connected to a network, its annoying.
Turn off MAC address filtering and connect.
Now on your device click STart>Settings>Connections>Wireless Lan
on the Advanced tab you will see your devices MAC address.
Howdy guys.
I cant get access to wireless internet in my house anymore since we secured the network by only allowing certain mac addresses.
Any idea how I can find the MAC address of the M600 ?
Cheers
(Switch on WiFi using the button on the side of the device. Then go to Settings - Wifi settings.
Go to "Advanced" and you'll see the MAC entry. It only shows up if the WiFi is on.)

it has to be connected to a network as well as on.
I'll give it a shot many thanks
The Wireless Access points at work use MAC filtering. I am having trouble locating the wireless MAC address on the 8525's. Windows Mobile 5. I did a search on the web but the places posted did not contain the information I was looking for. Any help would be great. P.S. Turning off MAC filtering at work is not an option. I tried this at home and it connects fine. Thanks in advance

Open the comm manager and from SETTINGS, select WIRELESS LAN, from there simply select the ADVANCED tab and the MAC should be visible...
Still no luck
Thanks for the reply but that doesn't do it for me. When I go there the Status reads "Connected to network" the MAC is blank and the IP is blank. I tested and I am connected wifi and can access the internet (without medianet connected.) I checked a coworkers 8525 and his read exactally like mine when connected to the wireless network. Is there another way to see the MAC address? I looked in the wireless access point as I know some show connected devices but the Belkin units we have here do not.

There was a command prompt utility somewhere that you could use to determine your ip/mac addresses... Sorry, but I can't remember where it was or the name... I lost it during my frequent flashes...
The MAC field will be blank when the WLAN is turned off. Once you turn it on, the MAC will appear before you connect to the network. Whatever access point you use won't be able to disable this behavior.
Your statements suggest that once you connect at work, these fields are blanked out. However, you also note that you are able to connect at home just fine. See what the MAC address says when you're at home or look at what your home router reports. Your MAC address isn't ever going to change.
